# Affordable Lightweight Adventure Packs Boundary's Errant Pack is Light, Modular, and Sustainable By Joey Haar | Published 2018-06-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/errant-pack References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1990568293/errant-the-ultimate-everyday-backpack) Backpacks are probably the most purely utilitarian piece of apparel; their raison d'etre is to let people carry their stuff around. And yet, if consumers want a backpack with functional features that make it more than a shoulder-worn tote, they typically have to pay a premium. Boundary's new Errant Pack upends that axiom. The [modular pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepro-flex-backpack) has features that make it useful for adventuring and commuting alike, but it comes in at an affordable price point of $99.99. In terms of features, the Errant Pack rivals Boundary's first highly successful bag, the Prima Pack. The 22-liter Errant has adjustable and removable waist and chest straps, a ventilated back panel, a hydration bladder hanger, and 360 reflective lash points that combine to make it great for treks and adventures. For commuters and urban professionals, the bag offers [briefcase-style side carrying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-briefcase), SMART work tools storage, water-resistant compartments for laptop and tablet storage, and both a side-opening compartment and a clamshell-opening top. Following Boundary's incredible crowdfunding campaign for the Prima Pack, the Errant Pack is now available for [pre-order on Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1990568293/errant-the-ultimate-everyday-backpack). The sleek, minimal bag promises to be a strong alternative for those who want a lower profile pack with premium features -- without having to dip into their savings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Affordable Adventure Packs:** The Errant Pack offers functional features at an affordable price point, disrupting the market for adventure backpacks. - **Modular Backpacks:** The Errant Pack's modular design provides customization options, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the backpack industry. - **Utilitarian Fashion:** Backpacks that balance functionality and style are gaining popularity, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovations in the fashion industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Gear:** The Errant Pack's features and affordability make it a disruptive product in the outdoor gear industry. - **E-commerce:** The pre-order success of the Errant Pack on Kickstarter highlights opportunities for disruptive innovation in the e-commerce industry. - **Work Accessories:** The Errant Pack's work tool storage and laptop compartments disrupt the market for work accessories in industries such as tech and finance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Commuter Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-commuter-backpack.md) - [Featherweight Packable Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-packable-backpack.md) - [Versatile 30L Travel Back Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30l-travel-pack.md) - [Customizable Expansion Traveler Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nectrum-wingpack.md) - [Crossbody Hydration Pack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbody-hydration-pack.md) - [Outdoor Adventure Commuter Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-refugio-daypack-30l.md) - [Next-Gen Business Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-backpack-that-stands-up.md) - [Stylishly Versatile Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracksmith-olmsted-pack.md) - [Organization-Forward Backpack Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack.md)
