Know before you buy
Yes, the 40-liter capacity is designed to be carry-on compliant for most major airlines. Always check your specific airline's size requirements before flying, as policies can vary.
The bag is constructed from a 400-denier ripstop nylon with a TPU coating. This combination is highly resistant to tears and abrasions, making it well-suited for rugged travel and frequent handling.
Yes, the bag includes padded shoulder straps that allow you to carry it comfortably as a backpack. The straps are both detachable and adjustable to suit your preference.
The main compartment features lockable zippers, allowing you to add a small luggage lock for extra security when you need to check the bag or leave it in a hostel.
The bag features two internal mesh pockets, which are ideal for separating smaller items like toiletries or chargers from your main gear. Combined with the two exterior pockets, it offers enough structure to keep your essentials from getting lost at the bottom of the bag.
The daisy chains are external webbing loops that allow you to clip on extra gear, such as a water bottle, carabiners, or a sleeping pad, using straps or clips. They are perfect for when you need to expand your carrying capacity beyond the 40-liter main compartment.
