Know before you buy
The 24L capacity is spacious enough for most standard laptops and textbooks. However, it does not feature a dedicated padded laptop sleeve, so you may want to use a protective case for your device.
Yes, this pack is carry-on approved. Its dimensions of 16"H x 13"W x 7¼"D fit well within standard airline requirements for under-seat storage.
The pack is constructed from rugged, weatherproof polyester. While it is designed to withstand light rain and keep your gear dry, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
The pack is designed for ages 6 and up. The adjustable, padded shoulder straps allow it to be fitted to a variety of body sizes, though it may be large on smaller children.
The pack features a comfortable padded back panel and adjustable straps to help distribute weight. Because it is a frameless design, it is best suited for school supplies, travel essentials, or light hiking gear rather than heavy-duty equipment.
The front section includes organizer pockets specifically designed for smaller items like pens, chargers, or snacks. It also features a built-in key clip so you can secure your keys and find them quickly.
