We've all been there - you're getting ready to go to work or a trip, and your trusted backpack is nowhere to be found.
Sure, put an AirTag

in your bag of choice can help solve this problem, but Targus integrated similar technology so you don't have to buy one separately.
The company's new $ 149 Cypress Hero backpack features Apple Find My technology built in, which means you can use your iPhone to track it just like you would an Apple AirTag.
It's one of the most promising gadgets we saw during CES 2022, so let's take a closer look at what it has to offer.
A backpack with AirTag technology
The Cypress Hero is the first backpack with built-in Apple find my support, allowing you to take advantage of all the tracking capabilities found in Apple's popular AirTag tracker

without having to buy one separately.
That means, in case it gets lost, you can activate the Find app on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac to detect its last known location on a map.

The Cypress Hero also works in reverse, with a button inside that you can press to ping your phone in case the Phone is lost.
Everything is powered by a built-in module directly inside the backpack so you don't have to worry about stuffing an AirTag in your bag.
Targus says this could offer some additional protection against would-be thieves;
after all, it would be a lot easier for someone to remove an AirTag from a stolen bag.
Find My integration aside, the Cypress Hero offers many of the key features of Targus' Cypress line.
That includes a dedicated laptop compartment, a large exterior compartment ideal for accessories, and a front pocket for quickly storing things like cables and power bricks.

It even has a handy strap in case you need to attach it to your luggage at the airport.
And like many gadgets that were unveiled during CES 2022, it also aims to be eco-friendly, with a design built from 26 recycled water bottles.
Let's recap the Cypress Hero
The Cypress Hero backpack seems like a smart solution to a very real problem - after all, who hasn't misplaced their bag before?
We were impressed by the precise tracking capabilities of the AirTag

when we reviewed the device last year, and we like the idea of a bag that has the same functionality built in.
While we have not used this new model, we are fans of the build quality and storage options in previous Targus backpacks, we are fans of the integration with this Apple system.
The backpack will launch in the summer for $ 149.
