Durable 100% polyester outer shell with water-resistant finish and padded back panel for comfortable carrying. Zip-fastening main compartment plus a front pocket include a nylon elasticated interior laptop sleeve and roughly 22-litre capacity.
Comfortable Carry – with adjustable, padded shoulder straps and a padded back panel
Adjustable straps allow tension to be customised, while padding on both straps and the back panel cushions contact points and spreads load across the shoulders and upper back. The exterior shape and strap placement reduce local pressure on the shoulders during beach walks.
Reduced shoulder strain on the way to the water and easier handling when the pack is fuller. Comfortable enough for repeated short journeys between car, beach and water.
Secure, Organised Storage – thanks to a zip-fastening main compartment and front pocket
A main zip compartment houses the lined interior with an attached nylon elasticated laptop sleeve, while a separate zip-fastening front pocket keeps smaller items accessible. Internal lining helps keep contents stable and prevents items shifting during movement.
Quick access to essentials such as keys, sunscreen and snacks, with an elasticated sleeve to keep a laptop or tablet held in place. Organisation makes packing and unpacking at the beach faster.
Weather-Resistant Shell – with a 100% polyester outer and water-resistant finish
The outer shell is made from 100% polyester treated for water resistance, offering a barrier against light spray and damp conditions. Zipped closures reduce exposure of the interior to splashes during short trips.
Contents stay better protected on damp days and during short transfers from car to shore. A practical safeguard for electronic devices kept in the internal sleeve.
