HUF and Jansport have teamed up two design two bags, the Westridge knapsack and the Snoqualmie duffel.

The Westridge is a classic 1970s JanSport pack reignited with fresh new details including a leather-paneled pocket with silicon coated nylon seatbelt straps that hug the front of the pack to safely secure a skateboard. Other unique features include an electric purple pack interior with matching webbing and a 15” quilted laptop sleeve/magazine stash pocket with an interior that provides effortless pack organization.

The new HUF Snoqualmie Duffel is a modern interpretation of JanSport’s original 1979 duffel, boasting silicon coated nylon seatbelt straps that wrap around the bottom of the duffel to safely secure a skateboard. Lined in electric purple nylon with matching webbing, the bag also features a leather-faced front pocket and a unique U-shaped zippered main compartment, along with two side pockets—one with sealed-off mud room to stash your shoes.

The bags are limited to 150 each, and will release August 13th at Huf locations and select retailers.
