Know before you buy
It features a Rain Defender durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which makes it water-resistant. It will keep your gear dry during light rain or brief exposure to the elements, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
With dimensions of 17.5" H x 12" W x 6" L, the main compartment is spacious enough to accommodate most 15-inch laptops. However, please note that it does not feature a dedicated, padded laptop sleeve, so you may want to use a protective case.
The backpack offers a 21-liter capacity, which is ideal for daily commuting or school essentials. It is designed to comfortably hold books, a change of clothes, a lunch container, and smaller tech accessories.
The 500D polyester canvas is chosen for its rugged durability, so it has a structured, sturdy feel rather than a soft, flexible one. It is built to hold its shape and withstand daily wear and tear.
Yes, it includes a mesh side pocket designed for quick access to a water bottle or other small items you need to grab on the go.
