Know before you buy
When not in use, the bag folds into its own integrated pocket, resulting in a compact 6 x 4.5 x 2-inch package that easily fits into a larger suitcase or travel tote.
The pack is frameless and designed for ultralight travel, so it lacks a padded laptop sleeve. It is best suited for light essentials like a jacket, water bottle, and snacks rather than heavy electronics.
The 70D PU-coated nylon provides reliable protection against light rain and splashes. While it keeps your gear dry in typical travel conditions, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
The backpack includes a security loop to help deter pickpockets, along with a front pocket that features an integrated key clip to keep your essentials organized and secure.
Yes, it features breathable mesh shoulder straps and a ventilated back panel to help keep you cool. Because it is frameless and ultralight, it is most comfortable when packed with lighter loads.
