Hi everyone, my name is Angelo
I’m the project manager for Tucano’s amphibious backpack, Lontra.
It’s a signal buoy, It’s a watertight container, and it works as a life jacket.
Lontra has something special which no other backpack has: slits that allow the water to flow out. Two are located on the bottom and there are another two on one side.
As you can see, the back is very ergonomic…I assure you that it has well-designed padding that makes it both comfortable and durable.
Lontra was designed as a 70-liter backpack. It can easily a hold 30 to 40kg (60 to 85 lbs). This backpack has been tested in water to support 90kg of dead weight.
Lontra is also available in a smaller version, one with a capacity of about 30 liters.
The fabric is produced from recycled plastic bottles, the particular processing makes the material extremely resistant which gives the backpack internal and external protection, making it much more resistant than any other amphibious backpack.
Lontra is the only backpack in the world that allows you to go into any kind of aquatic environment!
There’s a watertight bag inside the backpack where you can put anything that you want to keep dry while you’re having fun!
As a way of thanking you for your pledge and your help, Lontra will be sent to all of you. Let’s get this project started!
Tucano is an Italian company that manufactures bags, backpacks, cases and accessories designed for a fast-paced, digital life. It was founded in 1985 by Franco Luini. In over thirty years of doing business Tucano has established their corporate identity with worldwide production and distribution, thanks to practical, functional and technologically advanced products. Innovation, technology, protection, and Italian design are the basis for every Tucano product.
Recently, Tucano has also developed a new, eco-friendly line that is made with 100% recycled materials. Sustainable materials are increasingly earning their place in the fashion world and Tucano’s new designs fit right into this concept by genuinely focusing attention on environmental issues and recycling.
We know what we’re doing because we have a lot of experience under our belts when it comes to manufacturing high-quality goods. We’ve already done a facilities search for the production of Lontra and are testing new materials and components. We are very excited about making you the best backpack we can! Whatever happens, we’ll get through it together. We promise. The Tucano USA Team.
