This latest release by Norwegian lifestyle brand Swims is a set of durable waterproof bags that makes use of an advanced welding technique. The entire collection includes a duffel bag, two backpacks and a laptop bag with a tight welding method incorporated into the seams of a 100 percent waterproof material that is guaranteed to keep your gear dry even if you're caught in a torrential downpour. The molded construction of the bags helps to keep them sturdy, and the fabric has also been given a melange effect for a subdued yet eye-catching charcoal color that makes these accessories look great wherever you take them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Advanced Welding Techniques:** Opportunity for companies to explore innovative welding methods for creating waterproof products. - **Rugged Functionality:** Rise in demand for durable and functional bags that can withstand harsh weather conditions. - **Stylish Waterproof Accessories:** Growing market for waterproof bags and backpacks that offer both style and functionality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Gear:** Potential for outdoor gear manufacturers to integrate advanced welding techniques into their product lines. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to produce stylish and waterproof bags and backpacks using innovative welding methods. - **Electronics:** Potential for electronics companies to collaborate with waterproof bag manufacturers to create laptop bags with enhanced waterproofing capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multimodal Waterproof Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimodal-waterproof-backpacks.md) - [Water-Ready Duffle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhik-submersible-duffel-bag.md) - [Durable Versatile Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-versatile-bags.md) - [High-Performance Duffel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordas-toolbox.md) - [Commuter-Focused Reflected Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflected-bag.md) - [Next-Gen Business Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-backpack-that-stands-up.md) - [Featherlight Hyper-Strength Duffle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norda-toolbox-duffle-bag.md) - [Durable Floating Wallet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planbok-floating-waterproof-wallet.md) - [Carbon Neutral Sustainable Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/38l-hybrid-duffle-pack.md)
