Know before you buy
Yes, the pack features a raised, padded sleeve specifically designed to protect most 15-inch laptops. The raised design also helps prevent your device from hitting the ground when you set the bag down.
The pack is made from recycled polyester treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and a polyurethane coating. While it will effectively shed light rain and keep your gear dry during a short walk, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
The pack uses Patagonia's Human Curve® shoulder straps, which are ergonomically shaped to follow the contours of your body. This design helps distribute weight more evenly, making it comfortable for daily commutes or light hiking.
The main compartment is quite spacious, but organization is kept simple with a single zippered stash pocket. It is best suited for users who prefer a clean, minimalist layout rather than those who need many small internal dividers.
The Arbor 26L weighs approximately 21.8 ounces. Its lightweight construction makes it a great choice if you want to minimize the weight you are carrying on your back.
