Know before you buy
The RSS is a specialized laptop sleeve designed to cradle your computer away from the bottom of the bag. It acts as a shock absorber, preventing your laptop from hitting the ground when you set your backpack down or if it takes a sudden impact.
The laptop compartment measures 15.5"h x 10.5"w x 1"d. It is designed to accommodate most standard 15-inch laptops, but we recommend measuring your device to ensure it fits within these specific dimensions.
The Tech Vault is a crush-proof, hard-shell compartment built into the bag. It is specifically designed to protect delicate items like sunglasses, smartphones, or small electronics from being crushed by the weight of other gear in your pack.
Yes, the pack features a Hybrid Unibody Backpanel (HUB) and extra padding in the shoulder straps. These elements are engineered to distribute weight evenly across your back and shoulders, reducing strain during extended wear.
The pack offers a total capacity of 29.5 liters (1800 cubic inches). This is generally sufficient for a full day of commuting or a short overnight trip, providing enough space for your laptop, tablet, a change of clothes, and daily essentials.
The pack includes a dedicated organization panel for pens, keys, and cables, along with a quick-access phone pocket. While it features one main compartment, these internal features help keep smaller items from getting lost at the bottom of the bag.
