GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Choose the carry that fits your day.
What laptop size fits?
The dedicated compartment fits up to a 16-inch laptop. For an unusually thick device or case, contact us to check the fit.
Does the 18L have a separate shoe compartment?
No. The 18L has a slimmer profile for everyday essentials. The 24L Backpack includes a separate shoe compartment and more room for work and training.
Can I open the main compartment completely?
Yes. Full clamshell access lets you see your gear while packing and unpacking.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The fabric has a PU backing and the bag uses YKK® AquaGuard® zippers. It is water-resistant, rather than a sealed waterproof bag.
