The company’s first backpacks, dubbed The HEIMPLANET MOTION Series Active Backpacks, are designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind with special consideration to weight distribution when it is on your back. The company claims the wedge-shaped silhouette is the result of a “perfect weight distribution” that puts weight “between your shoulders and close to your back.” And what the outfit failed to mention was, this functional design, along with the carefully chosen materials, also result a remarkably good-looking backpack design.
