The process of designing a product as commonplace as a bag can be quite a challenging one. How do you create something that someone already hasn’t done before? The backpack market is vast and oftentimes it all boils down to being able to integrate a new feature into the bag that makes it more useful, or more desirable, or both. In a sea of backpacks, the Fiets and Fiets backpack manages to stand out for a number of reasons. It’s waterproof, weatherproof, stainproof, and lightweight. It comes in a rolltop format with multiple miniature bags that fit inside like modules, allowing you to segregate your items like camera equipment, clothes, and toiletries. It even has separate external compartments for your EDC, phone, wallet, and a waterproof slot for wet clothes or a wet umbrella… but above all, it comes with a proprietary Magic Dock. Fiets and Fiets’s magic dock is a strong and secure docking port that allows you to strap anything to your backpack. A helmet, a shoe-bag, a travel pillow, Bluetooth speaker, and more. The magic dock comes with three modules that snap onto the bag, giving it a host of extra features, and turn allowing it to be just the kind of bag you want it to be. The Magic Dock works like a USB port does for a laptop. It amplifies the bag’s productivity and its ability to fit in diverse situations. Just like a USB can be used for storage, for peripherals and controls, for data transfer, etc, the Magic Dock can be used to fasten a variety of things to the backpack using Fiets and Fiets’s accessories. An anti-dust bag let’s you carry shoes or dirty clothes, and a universal holder lets you secure helmets or even a Bluetooth speaker to the back of your bag. A third module works as an emergency tail light, working wonderfully for commuters and bikers by making you visible in low-light conditions. The Magic Dock is that feature that helps Fiets and Fiets’s backpack to stand out. With the three modules (and many more in the pipeline), the dock lets you use the bag effectively in a variety of situations. For work and play, for travel and for quite literally the act of traveling… And with its lightweight, weatherproof and waterproof build, not even the gods can stop you from embarking on your adventure!
