Know before you buy
Yes, the 40L model measures 22" x 14" x 9", which aligns with standard airline carry-on size requirements. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's policy before flying, as restrictions can vary.
The stowable shoulder straps are designed for versatility, making them ideal for navigating airports or train stations. While they are functional for transit, they are not intended for long-distance hiking or heavy-duty trekking.
Yes, the outer casing is designed to be detached and used as a lightweight daypack. It is a convenient feature for storing essentials like a water bottle, jacket, or snacks once you arrive at your destination.
The PU-coated canvas is highly water-resistant and durable, providing excellent protection for your gear during light rain or accidental spills. While it is not fully waterproof for submersion, it is more than capable of keeping your belongings dry during typical travel conditions.
The internal compression strap is very effective at keeping your gear from shifting while you are on the move. It helps stabilize the load, which makes the bag feel more balanced whether you are carrying it as a duffel or wearing it as a backpack.
