Know before you buy
Yes, the 21.5" x 14" x 9" dimensions are designed to meet the carry-on requirements for most major airlines, allowing you to maximize your packing capacity without checking a bag.
The pack features a dedicated, quick-access TSA laptop compartment that allows you to pull your device out easily without rummaging through your main gear, helping you move through security lines faster.
Yes, the shoulder straps are fully stowable. This keeps the exterior clean and snag-free when you are checking the bag, using the trolley pass-through, or carrying it by the side handle.
The pack is constructed from 300-denier recycled polyester ripstop with a reinforced 600-denier bottom panel. It is built to withstand the rigors of travel and includes a DWR finish to repel light moisture.
The internal tie-down straps function similarly to those in a traditional suitcase, compressing your clothing and keeping your gear securely in place so it doesn't shift around while you are in transit.
The pack utilizes an AirScape back panel, which is designed to provide airflow and comfort against your back, preventing excessive heat buildup during longer periods of wear.
