No other brand pulls of camouflage like A Bathing Ape, and it certainly shows in the Bape 1st Camo Mountain Backpack.

The latest from the [Japanese brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-by-kazuki-kuraishi) is a [lifestyle pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kifaru-backpacks) that’s anything but subtle. As expected, the Bape 1st Camo Mountain Backpack features a militaristic theme outlined in a canvas upper finished with leather detailing. The size is big enough to use on day trips or short hikes. The rear features a nice arch design that ergonomically fits the back for comfort. This is definitely a vintage Bathing Ape design that should be a hit among fans.

The Bape 1st Camo Mountain Backpack will be available in two different colors.
