What is the Phase 32?
It's a larger volume lifestyle pack that also doubles up well as a daypack for on-the-hill activities. The Phase 32 has a 32-litre capacity and provides various options for organisation to keep you belongings tidy, built with durable fabrics that can keep up with busy, everyday lifestyles.
What is it made of?
This pack is made from 100% woven polyester and 50% recycled 420D Dobby (don't worry, we don't mean the house elf), which is extremely durable and abrasion resistant. It can withstand bumps and scrapes of everyday life yet is light to stop you from feeling weighed down by your load.
All materials are treated with HydroShield, which creates a water repellent barrier and encourages liquid to bead off the surface. However, please be aware this doesn't make it fully waterproof.
Which backsystem does it use?
The Phase Backpack features the specialised AirContour™ backsystem, which offers a supportive, breathable, flexible back for multi-activity adventures. The moulded foam, spacer mesh construction increases breathability and ventilation in points of contact - great for commuting to work in the city or a summer weekend hike in the Beacons.
What are its features?
The main compartment provides plenty of space for bulkier belongings and is split into three parts so that you can separate work and play. The pack also has a specialised workspace compartment that features a laptop sleeve to fit laptops up to 15 inches, a tablet sleeve and additional organisation for smaller office essentials.
A soft-lined zipped top pocket gives access to smaller belongings you might need to grab quickly, like sunglasses or a cheeky snack, and two side mesh pockets are perfect for bulky water bottles.
The carry harness has thick straps, padded nicely to stop them from digging in when the pack is mounted, and a pocket that allows you to carry in-ear wireless headphones to keep them safe.
There's a front stash pocket and full front compartment with a zipped internal pocket which is handy for valuables like keys or a wallet.
Side compression straps allow you to cinch the pack and remove any dead space if it's not fully loaded, helping prevent contents from wobbling around inside.
If you're a fan of hydration bladders, then you're in luck! This backpack is hydration compatible, so if you'd rather take a bladder out on the hill than bulky water bottles, this pack is versatile enough to do so.
Finally, there's a custom bike loop with reflective details and additional reflective detailing around the front and rear of the pack, increasing visibility if you're commuting on two wheels after hours.
