Our quality standard
We pair technical textiles with dependable hardware, reinforced construction and real-world testing. Material options vary by pack, so you can choose the balance of weight, feel and weather protection that suits you.
Before you choose
Still deciding between two sizes? Check your largest daily device first, then choose the capacity that matches what you actually carry most.
Choose 12–16L for essentials and lighter commutes, 22–24L for a fuller workday, and 30–38L when travel capacity and clamshell packing matter more. Product dimensions and exact device fit are listed on every product page.
Aero Pack, Momentum Backpack, Elements Backpack Pro and both Traverse sizes on this page fit up to a 16-inch laptop or MacBook Pro. Metro Backpack 12L fits up to a 14-inch MacBook. Check the exact product specification before purchasing.
Our backpacks use weather-resistant or weatherproof materials depending on the model and fabric. Selected X-Pac fabric options are waterproof, but that does not make every complete bag fully waterproof. Check the material description on the product you choose.
Our lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects. We assess the issue and may repair the product, replace it with a same-value item or provide store credit when repair is not possible. Wear, tear and damage after receipt are excluded. Read the full warranty.
Eligible items can be returned within 45 days of fulfilment when unused and in original condition. Customers cover return shipping, and original shipping, duties and related fees are not refundable. Read the current return terms.
