Know before you buy
An IPX6 rating means the pack is designed to withstand powerful water jets from any direction. It will effectively keep your belongings dry during heavy downpours or splashes, though it is not intended to be submerged underwater.
The internal multi-function sleeve is designed to accommodate most laptops up to 13 inches. Because the pack uses a roll-top closure, ensure your laptop is centered to allow the top to fold down properly for a secure seal.
Yes, the AirScape backpanel is designed to provide ventilation and cushioning against your back. It is specifically engineered to remain comfortable whether the pack is dry or wet, making it ideal for unpredictable weather.
Yes, the front panel features bungee cord tie-down points that allow you to secure external items like a rain jacket or extra layers. Additionally, there is an integrated attachment point specifically for a blinker light to improve visibility.
To maintain the IPX6 seal, roll the top opening down at least three times and secure the side buckles. This creates a tight, water-resistant barrier that prevents moisture from entering the main compartment.
The Transporter Waterproof 30 is versatile enough for both. Its sleek design and internal organization make it a practical choice for daily commutes, while its rugged, waterproof construction provides the durability needed for backcountry exploration.
