Materials and Construction
Main Body: 630D NanoTough Recycled Nylon
The main body uses Bluesign-approved 630D NanoTough, made from 100% recycled high-tenacity nylon with ripstop reinforcement and a carbonate coating.
NanoTough is engineered to deliver exceptional abrasion resistance while remaining relatively lightweight. The ripstop weave prevents small tears from forming and spreading, while the carbonate coating enhances weather resistance and structural durability without excessive weight.
Bottom Panel: 840D NanoTough Recycled Nylon
The reinforced base uses Bluesign-approved 840D NanoTough recycled high-tenacity nylon with a protective carbonate coating.
This higher-denier construction strengthens high-impact zones, protecting against abrasion from pavement, transport floors and rough surfaces during daily use.
Liner: 210D Recycled Nylon
The interior lining is Bluesign-approved 100% recycled 210D nylon with a PFAS-free DWR treatment.
Lightweight yet durable, this fabric maintains internal structure while supporting responsible chemical management standards. The PFAS-free DWR repels light moisture without using long-lasting fluorinated chemicals.
Backpanel and Harness Mesh: Recycled Polyester
All mesh components are Bluesign-approved and made from 100% recycled polyester, improving breathability while reducing environmental impact.
Primary fabrics meet Bluesign approval standards, ensuring responsible chemical use, reduced water and energy consumption and safer manufacturing processes.
Features
Full-Length J-Zip Access
A full-length J-zip opening provides wide panel access to the main compartment, making packing, unpacking and organisation more intuitive than traditional top-loading designs.
Padded 16" Laptop Sleeve
An internal padded sleeve fits most laptops up to 16 inches and protects electronics during daily commuting or travel.
Internal Document / Tablet Sleeve
A separate internal sleeve helps organise tablets, documents or notebooks without interfering with the laptop compartment.
Large Front Organisation Pocket
The front pocket includes built-in organisers and a secure zippered pocket with a key clip, allowing quick access to small essentials like keys, wallet and cables.

Integrated webbing loops on the front panel provide versatile external carry options for accessories or additional gear.
AirScape Backpanel
Mesh-covered, die-cut structured foam enhances ventilation while maintaining a stable, close-to-body fit for all-day comfort.

Helps distribute weight more evenly across the chest while improving stability during movement. Includes an integrated safety whistle.
Suspension and Carry System
Harness
The harness is constructed from spacer mesh and die-cut foam to balance cushioning and breathability. It delivers stable, comfortable carry for extended daily use while maintaining a streamlined profile.
Backpanel
The AirScape backpanel uses mesh-covered structured foam to create airflow channels that reduce heat buildup while keeping the load stable against your back.
