'Solid Gray’ is a folding backpack that’s built to last. Unlike normal soft material backpacks, Solid Gray stands up against harsh conditions. It is made from a single piece of copolymer, a material that gives the backpack an extremely durable, [hard exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-pack-litespeed-black-magic-edition). Despite the sturdier exterior, it is still very lightweight. The folding bag gives a snug, comfortable fit against your back and the pack is water-resistant. It also allows for easy access into compartments and is the perfect size for a carry-on. It's an ideal bag for [protecting expensive items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/db-ramverk-pro-backpack), like your laptop computer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Futuristic Backpacks:** There is an opportunity to innovate the design and construction of backpacks to make them more durable, lightweight and water-resistant. - **Single-piece Material Products:** The use of copolymer as a single-piece material to create products can disrupt industries in terms of durability and longevity. - **Star Wars-inspired Products:** Creating products with designs inspired by popular movies and TV shows can attract consumers who are fans of those franchises. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Gear:** Futuristic backpacks like Solid Gray have the potential to disrupt the outdoor gear industry by creating more durable and water-resistant products. - **Luggage and Travel:** The lightweight and water-resistant nature of Solid Gray makes it an ideal choice for travelers and can be an opportunity to innovate in the luggage industry. - **Electronics Protection:** Solid Gray's ability to protect expensive items like laptops can disrupt the electronics protection industry by offering a more durable and stylish solution. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Metal Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-aluminum-backpack.md) - [Earbud-Inspired Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack-backpack.md) - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Retro Militant Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waxed-canvas-backpack.md) - [Oversized Earbud Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Organization-Forward Backpack Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack.md) - [Carbon Neutral Sustainable Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/38l-hybrid-duffle-pack.md) - [Insect-Inspired Technical Baggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection.md)
