Know before you buy
Yes, the laptop pocket is specifically designed to accommodate laptops up to 16 inches. It features a suspended, padded design with a soft lining to protect your device from impact.
With dimensions of 21.5" x 13" x 9", it is designed to meet standard carry-on requirements for most major airlines. However, we recommend checking your specific airline's size limits before flying.
The backpack includes attachment points for a hip belt, but the belt itself is sold separately. If you plan on carrying heavy loads for extended periods, adding the belt can significantly improve weight distribution.
The main compartment opens like a suitcase, allowing you to pack and organize your gear easily without digging through the top of the bag. This design is particularly useful for using packing cubes to keep your clothes organized.
Yes, the bag uses high-quality YKK zippers that are lockable. This allows you to secure the main compartment with a luggage lock for added peace of mind in crowded areas.
The material is highly durable and resistant to abrasion. For maintenance, simply spot-clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed; do not machine wash or submerge the bag.
