Know before you buy
The padded laptop sleeve is designed to accommodate standard laptops up to 15 inches. Given the bag's dimensions of 18 inches in height, most common student and work laptops will fit securely.
Yes, the side pockets are elasticized to expand, making them suitable for most standard-sized water bottles and travel mugs.
The Pintail is constructed from durable polyester, which offers basic protection against light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof, so you should take precautions if you are caught in heavy downpours.
As a frameless backpack, it is designed to be lightweight and flexible. It may not stand upright on its own unless it is packed specifically to balance the weight at the base.
Yes, it features padded shoulder straps designed to distribute weight evenly across your shoulders. This makes it a comfortable choice for daily commutes or walking across campus.
We recommend spot-cleaning the backpack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the fabric and the internal padding.
