Know before you buy
No, the Del Día collection is crafted from repurposed fabric scraps, meaning each pack is unique. You will receive a surprise colorway, which is part of the brand's commitment to reducing textile waste.
The pack includes an internal sleeve, but it is not padded. It works well for a slim tablet or a small laptop, provided you use an additional protective sleeve.
The Batac is a frameless, ultralight pack designed for fast-and-light excursions. While the mesh shoulder straps and sternum strap provide good support for light loads, it lacks the structured back panel found in dedicated heavy-duty hiking packs.
Deadstock fabric refers to high-quality leftover materials from other production runs. These fabrics are durable and perform just as well as virgin materials, ensuring the bag remains rugged enough for daily travel and hiking.
Yes, the dual mesh side pockets are designed to accommodate most standard-sized reusable water bottles. The elasticized openings help keep your bottles secure while you are on the move.
