Robust commuter daypack with a padded 15" laptop sleeve and reinforced bottom. A 1050d nylon exterior and a 300d tarpaulin liner combine durability with water resistance.
Laptop and gear protection - with padded 15" laptop sleeve and padded bottom panel
Padded internal sleeve sized for 15-inch laptops sits above a reinforced bottom panel to absorb knocks and prevent direct contact with hard surfaces. The sleeve uses dedicated padding to separate electronics from loose cargo.
Keeps a laptop separated from clothing and tools, reducing the chance of accidental damage during daily commutes.
Organised commuting - thanks to dual water bottle and U-lock pockets
Two external bottle pockets flank a secure U-lock pocket, while a wide-opening YKK 10 zip top allows quick visual access to the main compartment. Pocket placement is designed for fast access without rummaging.
Makes grabbing a drink or stashing a lock straightforward on the move, keeping essentials accessible and orderly.
Built to withstand the road - with 1050d nylon exterior and 300d tarpaulin liner
Heavyweight 1050d nylon offers abrasion resistance for urban use while a lightweight 300d tarpaulin liner adds water resistance inside the bag. Low-profile reflective MOLLE webbing on the face and harness increases visibility at night.
Handles daily wear and damp conditions better than many lightweight commuter packs, while improving safety after dark.
