Great Day Backpack *Sample* ' Up-Cycled Backpack ' Everday Pack ' Laptop Backpack ' Made in USA The Moonrise Project puts the sustainability message of Diamond Brand Gear into action. The fabric for our American Boro and Rescue series was originally destined for the landfill before we found it and re-purposed it into something new and beautiful! **As part of our mission to reduce waste (and reduce clutter at our manufacturing facility) we occasionally sell our prototypes and sample versions at a reduced price. As with everything we do, we experiment with design and materials, and sometimes those experiments turn out to be too expensive to manufacture, or don't function how we want them to. We won't sell anything that's going to fall apart, but we will sell things with funky, unusual, and experimental features** This one-of-a-kind throwback pack is built for adventurers who want options. Hang your gear, add or remove pockets-anything's possible when you've got a Great Day. Measurements: 18" Height 13" Width 5.5" Depth Drawing inspiration from our military legacy, the Great Day utilizes durable up-cycled and repurposed materials combined with purposeful design, the Great Day will soon become your go-to everyday carry.

We got our start in a small, defunct hosiery mill that quickly turned into a thriving factory. When the textile industry began to offshore their facilities, we made it our mission to revive the art of sewing and keep production in the USA. We are committed to the preservation of craftsmanship, the formation of a greener economy, and the creation of durable goods that enhance the experience of all adventurers. Thus the Moonrise Project was born to help elevate our scraps and help the world through Reclaiming, Reusing, and Recreating.
