Know before you buy
This backpack is equipped with a suite of security measures including RFIDsafe blocking pockets, a PopNLock security clip, Carrysafe slash-resistant straps, eXomesh slash guards, and a Roobar Sport locking system to secure your zippers.
The internal sleeve is designed to accommodate most 13-inch laptops. It provides a dedicated space to keep your device separate from other gear, though it is not heavily padded, so you may want to use a slim sleeve for extra protection.
Yes, its versatile design works well for both. It features a hydration reservoir sleeve for trails and a breathable back panel for comfort, while the sleek aesthetic and laptop compatibility make it practical for city use.
The shell and lining feature a 1000mm water resistance rating, which is sufficient to protect your belongings during light rain or brief showers. However, it is not fully waterproof, so we recommend using a rain cover if you expect prolonged, heavy downpours.
The pack is designed with ergonomic shoulder straps and a breathable back panel to improve airflow and weight distribution. It also includes a hip belt to help stabilize the load during longer hikes.
The ECO 18L is constructed from nearly 100% recycled materials, primarily ECONYL® regenerated nylon and rPET polyester. This diverts waste from landfills and oceans while maintaining the durability and performance expected of high-quality outdoor gear.
