Know before you buy
The rear compartment is designed for smaller devices, fitting most standard tablets or compact laptops up to approximately 11-12 inches. Given the bag's 17.5-inch height, it is best suited for devices smaller than a full-sized 15-inch laptop.
The pocket features a clear, touch-sensitive vinyl window that allows you to view and operate your smartphone or small tablet without taking it out of the bag. It is ideal for quick navigation or checking notifications while on the move.
Yes, the pack features a padded mesh back panel that promotes airflow to keep you cool. It also includes both sternum and waist straps, which help distribute weight evenly and keep the bag stable during active use like hiking.
Yes, the Presidio is hydration-compatible. It includes a dedicated internal pocket for a water reservoir and routing points for the drinking tube, making it a practical choice for long hikes or outdoor excursions.
The bag is constructed from 900D polyester, which is a heavy-duty, water-resistant fabric. While it will effectively protect your gear from light rain and splashes, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
The MOLLE webbing allows you to attach modular pouches, carabiners, or other compatible gear to the outside of the pack. This gives you the flexibility to expand your storage capacity or keep frequently used items easily accessible.
