When many people think of hemp as a material, they immediately wonder about the feel of the fabric. The first hemp backpack you own may surprise you at just how durable it is yet, while still feeling soft and looking fashionable. So, if you seeking a fashionable, wearable, easy to use, backpack or carryall, take a look at the hand-vetted hemp backpacks our editorial team recommends.

Whether you are going hiking, want to look hip, or you just need to run errands around town, hemp backpacks are super convenient and eco-friendly. A good lightweight material that is as sustainable as it is sturdy, hemp looks great too! Taking it a step further, hemp backpacks are often fair trade certified.

Hemp backpacks have come a long way since the days of strictly looking bohemian and alternative. Fashion forward and quite trendy among those who have a special love of cannabis, the truth of the matter is that hemp is an amazing sustainable material that is widely available and incredibly durable.

Hemp can be made into a material very much like cotton. And in fact, hemp can be pretty soft. Due to its tougher fibers, hemp clothing, hemp backpacks, and hemp linens tend to be of higher quality. But this is also why it is not easily manufactured compared to backpacks made of synthetic material. Making it well is not a task companies can achieve simply, which often translates into a higher price point for the consumer. But helping offset this cost is the fact that hemp grows very easily, much like bamboo. And with growing demand for legalized cannabis, the leftover biomass of marijuana plants grown for cannabis is often used for industrial hemp products and textiles.

Because hemp is a sustainably grown plant and more commonly fashioned into material these days, there is a much greater offering of hemp backpacks at competitive prices. Harvesting hemp is not something that happens all over the US just yet, so shoppers will more easily find it online from eco friendly companies such as co-ops, artisan run stores and fair trade businesses.
