The collection consists of four skate-focused carrying items that are equally stylish and functional. All of the pieces are made with extra-durable [base camp duffle fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basecamp-footwear) that have been lifted from the label's beloved Expedition series. Headlining the new collection is the Wandereic Pack 20, a sleek and robust backpack that comes equipped with buckle straps that allow wearers to fasten their skate decks to the bag. In addition, the bag features a long and slim profile with several interior compartments, including a dedicated laptop sleeve. Another standout item is the Wandereic Duffel 70, a more heavy-duty option that was designed for [overnight travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-weigh-duffle). The duffle boasts 72 liters of carrying capacity and features buckle straps on the bottom of the bag, which, again, can be used to easily secure a skateboard.
