Know before you buy
The external padded sleeve is designed to accommodate most standard laptops up to 15 inches. Because it is located on the exterior, it offers quick access without needing to open the main compartment.
The RidgeBack molded back panel is engineered for airflow and structure. It provides a firm, supportive feel against your back that helps distribute weight evenly, making it comfortable for extended wear.
The Daypack Tech is water-resistant, not waterproof. While the 1000D recycled nylon and heavy-duty YKK zippers will keep your gear dry during light rain or a quick commute, it is not designed to be submerged or used in heavy downpours.
Yes, the pockets are expandable, allowing them to accommodate a variety of bottle sizes. They sit flush against the bag when not in use to maintain a sleek profile.
The Daypack Tech has a 21-liter capacity, which is the sweet spot for daily essentials, a change of clothes, or tech gear. It features two main compartments to help you keep your items organized.
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, accidents, or improper use.
