THE BACKSTORY
We wanted to Build a Better Backpack from the ground up.
We wanted to design, build and test a class-dominating backpack for gym, work and travel.
Having spent the best part of the last 20 years biking, running, busing and generally commuting to and from, gyms, sports grounds, beaches (…and the workplace), our list of functional requirements was long and distinguished.
EXPANDABLE FRONT POCKET
Intelligently designed to help preserve valuable internal space. Perfect for a Meal Bag Insert* or allowing your shoes to breathe. * (sold separately)
MILITARY SPEC.1000D NYLON
This is the toughest in the game.
After 2-3 years of use, nylon will still look brand new unlike polyester.
Â
RIP-STOP PADDED NYLON LINING
A light internal lining material that is as beautiful as it is brutally tough. Prevents tearing and is backed by a generation guarantee.
The top pocket includes high-density EVA foam padding to protect your valuables. Separate sleeves cradle your wallet, accessories and phone (with headphones outlet) while making them easy to access.
DUFFLE-STYLE FLAT PACKING * PLUS PADDED LAPTOP SLEEVE

Both Backpacks provide protection for a 15″ laptop.
ULTRA-TOUGH #10 YKK ZIPPERS

Unrivalled Quality – amazing materials turn a great design into a truly great bag
- Military spec. 1000D nylon. This is the toughest in the game – no surprise this is used on more high-end packs than any other material.Nylon webbing and thread. Initially, its almost impossible to tell the difference between this and cheaper polyester (without doing a burn test), but after 2-3 years of use, nylon will still look brand new.
- Rip-stop nylon lining. A light internal lining material that is as beautiful as it is brutally tough.
- YKK zippers – The best zippers in the world, bar none.
- Heavy-duty buckles. Check out the buckles we are using (above). Quick- release buckles made from carbon steel with a black epoxy finish. Their 4400lb/2000kg breaking strength might well be the definition of over-engineering – and we think they look really cool.
