Know before you buy
Yes, the Tropos 32 features a separate, padded zip compartment specifically designed to accommodate laptops up to 16 inches, keeping your tech protected and easily accessible.
It does. The Tropos 32 includes an integrated kickstand feature that allows the bag to stand upright on its own, preventing it from tipping over when you are at your desk or in a coffee shop.
The AirSpeed backpanel uses a suspended mesh design that creates a gap between your back and the pack, allowing for significant airflow to keep you cool and reduce sweat buildup.
The pack is constructed with durable, water-resistant recycled nylon and polyester treated with a PFAS-free DWR coating. While it will handle light rain and splashes well, it is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
Yes, the pack features dual mesh water bottle pockets that are stretchy and deep enough to securely hold most standard-sized reusable water bottles.
The front stretch shove-it pocket is designed for quick-access items you might need on the go, such as a light jacket, a rain shell, or a newspaper, without having to open the main compartment.
