Hilo Backpack

MO‘OLELO: The word Hilo has multiple meanings, but one of the main definitions is "to braid or twist." Hilo was also the name of a famous navigator. Lastly, Hilo is the first, or new moon, and it was derived from the earlier two meanings. As the slender new moon sets in the western sky it often has a twisted appearance thus having the name Hilo. Because this is the first moon it acts as a navigator for the moons to follow. Traditionally it was felt that this was a good moon for deep sea fishing but bad for reef fishing and gathering of any below ground roots and vegetables. Hilo is also a type of grass, mau‘u hilo, as well as a variety of sweet potato. • Made from 100% polyester - Water-resistant material • Dimensions: 16.1″ x 12.2″ x 5.5″ • Hidden pocket with a separate pocket for a 15” laptop with zipper on the back of the bag • Top zipper has 2 sliders with zipper pullers attached to each slider • Silky lining, piped inside hems and a soft mesh back • Padded ergonomic bag straps with strap regulators This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
