The backpack is constructed with a Waxed Duck Canvas along with Red Wing Leather accents that replace the 1000D Cordura nylon that is traditionally used. The backpack comes in two size options including 21-liters and 26-liters to make it suited for [everyday commuter use](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kifaru-backpacks) or longer trips where a bit more storage space is required. The Goruck GR1 Heritage backpack is priced at $395, and comes in three color options including Dark Oak, Field Tan and Olive, which will each show their age with use to highlight creases and wear for a truly rustic finish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Waxed Canvas Backpacks:** Opportunities for companies to innovate in the durable backpack space, through use of different, eco-friendly materials and design features. - **Red Wing Leather Accents:** Companies can focus on producing leather accented backpacks for consumers who want rugged, yet sleek looking everyday gear carriers. - **Two Size Options:** Companies can create backpacks with multiple size options, targeting commuter use and longer trips, providing consumers with more choice in bag sizes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Gear:** Opportunities for companies to innovate in outdoor gear with durable, long-lasting alternatives to traditional materials and stylish design elements. - **Fashion Accessories:** Companies can focus on producing stylish everyday gear carriers with a rugged edge, appealing to fashion conscious consumers. - **Luggage:** Opportunities for companies to innovate in the luggage industry by creating backpacks suited for longer trips yet still functional for everyday life. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Militant Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waxed-canvas-backpack.md) - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Intentionally Rustic Commuter Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfield-designs-vitesse-backpack.md) - [Full-Grain Leather Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmfr-edc.md) - [Fitness Traveler Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goruck-x-michael-easter-2-bag-system.md) - [Urbanite EDC Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kifaru-backpacks.md) - [Collaboration Camouflage Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brown-buffalo-x-huckberry-concealpack.md) - [Collaboration Long-Haul Adventure Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finisterre-x-gregory-stout-45-backpack.md) - [Extra-Rugged Everyday Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-ranchero.md)
