Brand Spotlight: Solgaard

At Swag.com, our mission is to search high and low for the best branded products that people will actually want to keep, and gear people will actually want to use. 

We’ve scoured the best of what’s out there to curate a selection of items that will delight and endear your customers and employees. Each brand we choose to make available has been carefully selected based on a high level of quality and utility.

Swag.com recently began offering products in partnership with Solgaard, an environmentally-conscious lifestyle brand creating gear for global citizens. With a product range focused on backpacks and luggage, and a goal to cut ocean plastic in half by 2025, Solgaard is committed to making sustainable travel luxurious. 

Solgaard was launched in 2016 after two extremely successful Kickstarter campaigns demonstrated that the public was eager for sustainable design with high-end touches. The first backpack by Solgaard, called the Lifepack, featured a solar panel power bank, bluetooth speaker, and retractable cable lock. 

Since that time Solgaard has expanded their range of products, adding more backpacks, luggage, and even watches and home accessories. All of the company’s products feature a signature blend of minimal aesthetic and intelligent, tactical features.

What makes Solgaard truly unique, however, is its commitment to sustainability and environmental activism. Founder and CEO Adrian Solgaard told Swag.com that it is their mission that sets them apart from other companies. 

“We believe being a global citizen is about being a good steward to the earth while enjoying everything it has to offer,” Adrian said. “Our mission is to leave the planet a better place than we found it.” 

Towards that end, Solgaard has partnered with the non-profit organization Plastic Bank to support the removal of plastic waste in oceans. For each item Solgaard sells, they collect 229 ocean-bound plastic bottles from rivers and upcycle them into useful goods. In 2020 alone, they removed 90,000 lbs of plastic from oceans.

Sustainability underlies the development and design of all of Solgaard’s products as well. None of their goods feature single use plastics, and many even feature a proprietary fabric developed with recycled ocean plastic.

One of our favorite backpacks, the Shore-Tex Daypack, is made entirely from this recycled material. It also comes with an awesome reusable straw and custom carrying case.
