JanSport has recently taken its backpacks to the next level by releasing 'legpacks', made for people who 'lack backs'
Teaming up with upcycling designer Nicole McLaughlin, JanSport launched a limited-edition collection to support environmental causes under the Slow Factory Foundation.
A cute 'Sports Bra', made up of two little pink JanSport backpacks, was also in the collection
In addition, the range included a 'Director's Chair', a 'Fishing Vest', 'Zipper Slipper', a 'Multipack', and a 'Camp Seat'.
You'll never need to complain about lacking pockets anymore.
Customers were able to win the items by purchasing USD5 raffle tickets. The fundraiser officially ended on 26 April. However, the collection has made headlines, along with JanSport's Facebook post about the 'legpacks', which has been shared over 31,000 times since.
