Know before you buy
The backpack features a dedicated expansion zipper that allows the main compartment to increase its volume from 14L to 21L. This extra space is ideal for packing additional clothing or gear when transitioning from a daily commute to a weekend trip.
Yes, the backpack includes a dedicated TSA-ready laptop sleeve. This design allows you to lay the bag flat or access your device quickly without needing to remove it from the compartment during security screenings.
Absolutely. The shoulder straps can be tucked away, allowing you to carry the bag horizontally using the side handle. This conversion makes it suitable for office environments or formal business meetings.
The bag is constructed with high-quality, water-resistant materials and YKK zippers designed to repel moisture. While it provides excellent protection for your tech and documents during a commute or light rain, it is not fully submersible.
The full-access zipper allows the main compartment to open completely like a suitcase. This makes packing and organizing your belongings much easier than a traditional top-loading backpack, as you can see and reach everything inside without digging.
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of the product's life. It ensures that the bag remains functional under normal use, protecting your investment against manufacturing flaws.
