The Eneco Wind Backpack is made with a 3D printer and can be used from moderate wind (wind force 4 to 5). To make the best use of the wind's power, it is possible to steer the sail with the choirs in the right direction.

Eneco Wind Backpack
Eneco invented the Wind Backpack in co-creation with the two young Amsterdam designers Hans-Erik Wagenaar and Gidon Krot. Both designers have a background in the fashion industry.

Wagenaar designs fashion accessories and Krot works for Nike, G-Star, and SCOTCH & SODA. Wagenaar says: 'As a designer, it is a huge kick to see that the product you designed and produced actually works well. It is special to combine three traditional Dutch elements such as cycling, sailing, and wind into a functional product, which also looks very good.
