Terracycle Upcycle Tent Dopp Kit Review

TerraCycle Include USA Upcycled Tent Dopp Kit
Looking for a gift for the traveling guy or gal that has everything? Search no further than Terracycle’s Upcycled Tent Dopp kit. Christmas may be a ways off, but keep Terracycle in mind during the holiday season or when searching for a unique gift for any occasion. Terracycle is well known for upcycling, or re-working/re-using products or waste and forming a completely new product. The Dopp kit is a prime example of this creativity and resourcefulness, as each kit is made from discarded tent scraps from various manufacturers. Each kit is slightly different or unique from the next, which makes each product that much cooler in my book. The Dopp kit is also 100% handmade. The Upcycled Tent Dopp kit features 3 zippered compartments, with one of these being composed of mesh or the netting component of a tent. The location of these compartments varies by each product. The one I tested featured the mesh compartment on the bottom, with the nylon tent material enclosing the other two pockets. Being made of tent materials means that the Dopp kit is also extremely light weight–making it perfect for those wanting to shave on weight on the trail and other, more tame travels. The fabric is also extremely durable and resistant to rips and tears, just like a tents’ fly. The Dopp kit is also easy to clean, simply throw it in the wash and let it line dry.
