Know before you buy
Yes, the Traverse is specifically designed to accommodate laptops up to 15 inches. The dedicated padded sleeve provides a snug, protective fit to keep your tech safe during transit.
Absolutely. It features padded shoulder straps and a ventilated back panel, which help distribute weight evenly and keep you comfortable even when wearing the bag for extended periods.
The 20L capacity is ideal for daily essentials like a laptop, a change of clothes, a notebook, and a water bottle. It is sized perfectly for school or a quick weekend trip, though it may be tight for heavy-duty overnight gear.
Yes, the stretch side pockets are designed to expand, making them compatible with most standard-sized reusable water bottles.
Yes, the front organizer pocket is specifically designed to keep smaller essentials like chargers, pens, and keys separated and easy to find, preventing them from getting lost at the bottom of the main compartment.
The 100% polyester construction is durable and handles light moisture well, but it is not fully waterproof. It will protect your belongings during a light drizzle, but you should use a rain cover in heavy downpours.
