This was a limited edition collaboration and is no longer available.

Introducing the Mission Workshop X Carryology Mars Project Backpack. A limited-edition collaborative project between Mission Workshop and Carryology inspired by our work over the years with NASA.

This project can trace its origins to 2016 when we began making backpacks for NASA’s BASALT and Desert RATs teams. The packs were designed to carry specialized communication equipment and built to survive the brutal conditions in the testing grounds of volcanic environments where acid rain, heat and ash would destroy a normal backpack.

For this special Carryology collaboration we were challenged to create the best everyday carry travel pack possible while staying true to the design, construction, and inspiration around the NASA packs.

- All external pockets, accessory pouches, and main compartment are fully weatherproof and can be deployed in all conditions for unlimited duration.

- The pack is constructed from Challenge Ultra 400X and EPX 70 fabrics. We believe these to be the strongest fabrics on earth.

- YKK urethane coated Aquaguard zippers throughout.

- Fully adjustable backpack harness to fit all body types.

- Easy access front panel and roll-top access to the main compartment.

- Aluminum stays for load stability and carry.

- Internal and external organization pockets.

- Easy access external zippered weatherproof laptop compartment.

The Mars Project Backpack is Arkiv compatible and can accommodate any of the accessories below to expand capacity and functionality. In addition, each pack comes with two collaboration patches by artist Dan Matsuda.
