Color:Army Green | Axoflux 300D

Make your everyday carry (EDC) lighter with this no-frills and ergonomically-designed backpack. It’s made with 100% recycled and weatherproof Axoflux fabric for maximum durability.

Two zippered main compartments store all your must-haves, with convenient pockets to house your water bottle, pencil case, and more. It’s also the perfect backpack for school, running errands around town, or heading to a sleepover.

Features

THOUGHTFUL COMPARTMENTS

Storage is divided into two primary zippered compartments.

The main compartment unzips widely where you’ll find a soft-touch, scratch-proof section for storing your laptop and other devices and 2 integrated mesh pockets for smaller items.

Then, in the opposite area, there’s a zippered mesh pocket and 2 pockets for smaller items and your water bottle below it.

KEYS & PENS IN PLACE

There’s an integrated magnetic MOD Key Tether in the front compartment to help you keep track of your keys. Plus, additional pockets for your small essentials and 2 pen slots.

ALL-WEATHER EXTERIOR

Brave the elements with confidence. Waterproof YKK AquaGuard zippers (front compartment) and rugged, water-resistant laminate fabrics form an impressive barrier, keeping your valuables dry in downpours.

COMFORT ALWAYS

The padded shoulder straps relieve the pressure and weight off your shoulders while the padded back panel also allows air to travel through your back, reducing unwanted perspiration.

MODULAR STRAPS

Attach the Zip Pouch Pro, HUB Pouch, and other add-ons to the straps for convenient access on the go. (HUB Keychain and pouches are sold separately.)

    Compact, good quality

    Comfortable and surprisingly spacious. I can fit so much inside and it’s still comfortably trim. Nice quality materials. Waterproof zips. My laptop is a 13” MacBook Air and it fits fine, it’s snug. Great design and style.

    Brilliant backpack, fit for purpose. Wish stitching was better.

    Love the backpack and took about a 6 weeks to rate it after decent usage. The backpack is fit for purpose and does impress. Its overall quality is solid, and form factor is aesthetic and ergonomic.

    My only issue is that the stitching on both the shoulder straps, has already started to come of at the exact same place, near the inner side of both shoulder straps. 3-4 stitches have come loose, not sure why and the usage has simply been to office and back. This was shocking considering the brand promise and reputation. I am still a fan and expect Alpaka to fix this issue to deliver a flawless first-time customer experience.

    Thanks

    Absolutely love this bag! I use it as my tech every day cary for running sound. It fits everything I need really well. The only thing is every once in a while I need a little bit more room and whish I had gotten the bigger one. Absolutely love it though!!

    Many compartments for a small bag

    Easy to organize different tech items because of many compartments.

    Great Day Backpack for Work

    The bag itself is durable and very well constructed so far, though my bags don't take a ton of abuse it does get tossed into my car and onto my office floor daily. It doesn't dirty easily and when it does things wipe away without trouble. The orange inside of the gray bag for high vis looks great and the whole bag feels premium. I thought I needed a bigger bag than this but it holds shockingly more than I'd assumed. I currently have it loaded up with the following every day:

    * Steam Deck (inside Dbrand Killswitch) + charger

    * 65% foldable keyboard

    * iPad 10th gen inside silicone case

    * Lochby A5 canvas journal

    * Bluetooth Mouse

    * Digital Voice Recorder

    * Round altoids tin

    * Earbuds in clamshell

    * Full size stick of deoderant

    * 2oz Beard balm tin and beard brush

    * Dice bag w/ 2 sets of dice inside

    * 4 port USB-C hub

    * Leatherman tool

    * Wired IEMs

    * Wuben G5 flashlight

    * 8bitdo N30 bluetooth controller

    * Keys

    * 3 USB charging cables

    * Anker USB charging brick

    * Retro 51 Tornado pen

    My only complaint is that while zipping up the main zipper compartment sometimes it can catch on the lip of the fabric "hood" that rounds the zipper. There's no option for half a star otherwise I'd give it a 4.5 but the zipper thing feels like a nitpick anyway.
