Meets most carry-on requirements. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
- Built with recycled materials and a recycled TPU-film laminate; based on the maximum carry-on size of most airline carriers, and free of wheels or handles that might get in the way once you're out of the airport
- Large main compartment with two interior organization pockets and one drop-in top pocket for smaller items; volume is 45 liters
- Dedicated space for tech storage that fits most 15in laptops, with room for documents and cords; laptop carrier zips open and lies flat for easy TSA compliance
- Three carrying configurations allow bag to be used as a backpack, a shoulder bag or a duffel, and all straps tuck away when not in use; external lash points add the ability to accommodate more gear
- Padded, stowable hip belt doubles as the shoulder strap. Change carrying style by pulling the hip belt out of the pass-through panel and attach it to the buckles near the long end grab-handle
- Wide webbing loop on the back panel acts as a haul handle or can be slipped over the handle of rolling luggage for easier movement through airports
