Deconstructing the Zirkel Day Pack

The Zirkel Day Pack is Tellus Co-Founder Joe Basta’s favorite backpack. It’s a go-anywhere companion designed for everything from local hikes to weekend getaways to international travel. We believe it’s one of the most versatile packs you can find. 

Made with the same eco-friendly materials and craftsmanship that define every Tellus product, Zirkel is feature-rich and durable. Zirkel Day Pack is designed to support your Adventures with Purpose and contributes to preserving the planet. Read on or watch the video to learn all about Zirkel. 

Remarkably durable fabric 

To create the ultimate backpack, we had to find the right heavy-duty recycled fabric. That lead us to X-Pac®, a U.S. company and world leader known for manufacturing advanced, high-quality sailcloth.  

We chose X-Pac RX36 fabric for the Zirkel Day Pack because it’s high-quality, performance-driven, and made with recycled materials that have a lighter impact on the planet. X-Pac’s RX36 laminate fabric is made with durable, 100% recycled post-consumer polyester. The fabric is 100% waterproof, abrasion-resistant and made to last through harsh outdoor conditions.
