What's Inside
What it is
A second-generation 28L personal-item travel backpack constructed from weather-resistant TPU fabric, smooth-sliding YKK zippers and an ultra-lightweight 2.2 lb frame. Featuring a full 180° clamshell suitcase opening, a TSA-ready padded 16" laptop compartment and dual anti-theft rear pockets, this pack is engineered for travelers who want complete carry-on freedom and under-seat convenience on short getaways or multi-day road trips.
Why you’ll love it
- 180° Clamshell Packing System: Opens completely flat like a traditional suitcase, allowing you to quickly load clothes, shoes and gear without awkward digging.
- TSA-Friendly False-Bottom Laptop Sleeve: Shock-resistant padded sleeve protects up to 16" laptops (with extra space for iPads and documents) and clears security checkpoints in one fluid movement.
- Smart Anti-Theft Back Panel Security: Features two concealed rear pockets - including one hidden directly beneath the rolling luggage handle sleeve - to safeguard passports, cash and credit cards from pickpockets.
- Quick-Access Gen-2 Upgrades: Redesigned with a fast-reach front zipper pocket for phone and charging cords, plus external lashing straps to secure a jacket or neck pillow on the move.
Travel-friendly perks
- Under-Seat Personal Item Size: Sized at 19" x 11.5" x 9" to easily slide under most major airline seats or fit effortlessly into tight overhead bins.

How to use

- Secure & Transit: Tuck your passport into the hidden back-panel security pocket, attach your jacket to the external lashing straps and slip the bag over your rolling luggage handle or onto your back.
