GRNG 101- Sept 29th- Prototyping Backpacks



Students began prototyping their designs for backpacks, using recycled materials.

Many designs had complex pockets, webbing, and other features.

Several students utilized closed-cell foam for padding and other features.

Cordura is the brand name for a collection of fabrics used in a wide array of products including luggage, backpacks, trousers, military wear and performance apparel. Cordura fabrics are known for their durability and resistance to abrasions, tears and scuffs.
Originally developed and registered as a trademark by E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) in 1929, it is now the property of Invista (a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries).[1] Cordura fabrics are usually made of nylon, but may be blended with cotton or other natural fibers.
