The company, which specialises in outdoor bags, said that the legpacks are for "people who lack backs."
The product is one of many in collaboration with upcycling designer Nicole McLaughlin to support climate and culture causes under the Slow Factory Foundation.
Other products include slippers, chairs, and even sports bras.

McLaughlin has similar concepts on her Instagram page:
