Hemp Backpacks
8000Kicks hemp backpacks are made from industrial hemp, a Sativa branch, known as the sober cousin of marijuana.Industrial hemp has been used since 8000 BC, and its properties include being anti-bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, hemp cleans and restores the nutrients in the soil, and it is also very durable. In fact, Hemp is so strong that Henry Ford even built a car out of it. We are pioneers in the development of hemp and our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make amazing waterproof hemp backpacks.
THE WORLD'S 1ST
WATERPROOF HEMP BACKPACKS
Our hemp fabric has been built to repel fluids from coming in. First we added a proprietary coating layer that protects the fabric and its properties from stains, liquids and dust particles. This will make the fabric very easy to clean as well.
Hemp is also a super durable material, that will make your backpack last years before it wears out.

TRUST PILOT REVIEWS
I bought one of these hemp backpacks and had to exchange them for a different color. The customer service representative was extremely helpful and let me swap it out. The straps fit great, and I really like the style. It’s crazy to think that they’re made of hemp but it makes me feel better about owning something that’s not going to pollute the Earth. I hope all backpacks are switched to hemp eventually.

The hemp backpacks are awesome and they came in a super cool and sustainable box! They are 100% waterproof which is great and they are even better in person in comparison with the photos on the website! In addition they arrived in 24 hours after I ordered them and the customer service is as efficient as it is nice! I have already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. I hope the company continues to grow and that hemp becomes an even more accessible material for producers! Thank you!!

My shoes arrived a little later than expected and because of that the CEO actually emailed me to inform me about it and apologized. I really appreciated this. When I got the kicks they looked great and were comfortable but unfortunately they were a bit small so I reached out to them and they replied quick and were super helpful to get an exchange or refund. You can tell that they really want to satisfy their customers. Overall a great experience! Would recommend.

At first I accidently ordered the wrong size, but with the great customer service they changed it to the right size in time before shipment. Meaning I got my awesome shoes that are very comfortable to walk in, specially for long days when the foot swells. Comfortable space, comfortable cushion and comfortable wear. I enjoy them alot, and I walk a lot on hard surface. Also I live the idea of durability and less impact on the environment. I hope this project evolves as an example for others to follow.

Ordered the wrong item by mistake and Margarida in customer service quickly got me a return label and made sure I got what I wanted. The shoes are light and soft and fit great. I wear ankle socks, so I normally need to wear higher socks to break in a new pair of shoes, but I'm surprised how good these feel right out of the box. Soft and flexible. And to top it all off, they're made of my favorite material! Lol

FAQ
Are hemp backpacks good?
Hemp is a long lasting material that has been used since 8000bc. It was used to build ropes, ship sails and even some of Ford's cars, and that is why we use it to build our hemp backpacks.
Hemp is also very ecological:
- it consumes 5x less water than cotton
- It restores the nutrients in the soil
- it needs not fertilizers to grow
- it captures CO2 from the atmosphere

Are pure hemp bachpack smell proof?
8000Kicks are 100% legal everywhere in the world. Our team has traveled to Italy, France, USA, Canada, Morocco, Portugal and many other countries without any issues. Hemp is the sober cousin of marijuana, which means that it has no psychoactive components.
In some countries it is illegal to cultivate hemp, but it is 100% legal to buy and sell finished hemp products like soap, paper and apparel as long as it is produced abroad.
Althought our hemp fabric doesn't release any smell, the backpacks are not smell proof, meaning they will not hold any substances from smelling out.
Are hemp backpacks sturdy?
Hemp is a fiber that has been used for milenniums. Ancient Egyptians used it to make rope, textiles, fine linen, and sails.
Hemp is a naturally durable fiber that was widely used in textiles and shoes until it was banned in the 70s. It was also used to build some of Ford's cars.
Unlike cotton, Hemp has long fibers, which brings a big edge in durability when making fabrics. For that reason, hemp is in many ways the strongest natural fiber available, and our hemp backpacks are also very durable.
According to the hemp foundation, hemp can be even stronger than steel.
