Know before you buy
Yes, the internal padded sleeve is specifically designed to accommodate most 15-inch laptops. The padding provides a buffer against bumps during your daily commute.
Yes, the Barrow Pack is engineered to stand upright on its own. This makes it much easier to access your gear without having to dig around while the bag is slumped over.
The polyester and wool blend is treated to be water-resistant, which is excellent for light rain or accidental spills. However, it is not fully waterproof, so we recommend seeking shelter during heavy downpours to keep your electronics completely dry.
The magnetic closure provides quick, convenient access to the main compartment, while the integrated zipper adds an extra layer of security. You can use the magnet for everyday transitions and the zipper when you want to ensure your belongings are fully enclosed.
The pack features padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel designed to distribute weight evenly. This setup helps reduce strain on your shoulders and back during longer commutes or travel days.
Beyond the main front organization pockets, there are additional storage spots tucked under the front panel. These are ideal for stashing smaller items like keys, chargers, or transit cards that you want to keep secure but accessible.
