Timbuk2
Core Travel Blitz Pack
Best durable pack for organized short trips and daily commutes.
Big enough for a heavy packer's weekend and small enough for a light packer's week away, the Blitz plays to high and low volume in one compact format. Compression straps, stretchy side pockets, and tuck-away backpack straps offer flexibility where you need it, and an air mesh back panel keeps things breezy in the back. Light internal organization offers an easy place to stash small stuff and a big grab handle eases heavy lifting. Pack light, pack heavy, and split.

Know before you buy

Yes, the pack features a dedicated wet pocket or shoe compartment. This allows you to isolate dirty footwear or damp clothing from your clean gear.
The external compression straps are highly functional for cinching down the bag when it's not full, helping to keep your load stable and compact. They also provide extra room to expand if you are packing for a longer trip.
The Blitz Pack focuses on general travel organization with an internal organizer for small items, but it does not feature a dedicated, padded laptop sleeve.
The air mesh back panel is designed to increase airflow and reduce heat buildup, making it significantly more comfortable than standard fabric panels during extended travel or warm weather.
Yes, the sternum strap is removable, allowing you to customize the fit or remove it entirely if you prefer a cleaner look and feel.
