Swiss brands QWSTION and MOVER just released a new 100% plastic-free hip pack constructed from wool, aluminum, and a technical fabric made out of banana plant fibers. Learn more here…

As we hope you’ve seen on this site over the last few years, we try to promote ways of eliminating plastics in daily use and over the long term. One such example is our move away from virgin plastic poly-blend T-shirts to recycled blends and 100% cotton. With that, it’s interesting to see companies making gear that’s completely free of plastics. Two such brands are QWSTION and MOVER Plastic Free Sportswear, both based in Switzerland. The two developed a hip pack in using Bananatex, a technical fabric made from banana plant fibers, and natural wool. Their Hip Pack is an ultra-light bag designed to truly leave no trace at the end of its life. The Hip Pack was made for outdoor pursuits such as trail running, mountain biking, and ski touring. Find the complete specs below.
