Its RipZip opening gives you a clear, wide view into the main compartment, allowing you to quickly locate clothing, gym gear and everyday essentials. Multiple dedicated compartments keep your up to 15" laptop, notebooks and accessories organised, while stretch hydration holsters ensure your water bottle is always close at hand.

Materials
330D Nylon Robic
The exterior of the Palo 26L Active Backpack is made from 330D Nylon Robic, an ultra-durable and abrasion-resistant fabric with the strength of a heavier 500D nylon but in a lighter, more densely woven construction.
This gives the pack excellent everyday durability without adding unnecessary weight, making it ideal for commuting, travel, work and active daily use.
YKK Racquet Coil No.10 Zippers
The large YKK Racquet Coil No.10 zippers are built for heavy-duty use and abrasion resistance.
They open smoothly for quick access to your gear while helping keep the contents of the pack secure and protected.
900 × 300D Nylon / Polyester / Spandex Pockets
The exterior pockets are made from a premium four-way stretch fabric blend of nylon, polyester and spandex.
This durable material is designed to retain its shape while securely holding bottles, accessories and everyday essentials.
TPU-Coated GroundControl Base
The water-resistant GroundControl Base features a TPU-coated construction that helps protect the bottom of the backpack from wet ground, dirt and everyday abrasion.
It also allows the pack to stand upright when placed on the floor, making it easier to load and access your gear.
Stretch-Woven Nylon Blend Back Panel
The compression-moulded back panel combines a stretch-woven nylon blend with supportive EVA foam to provide lightweight comfort throughout the day.
A central ventilation channel promotes airflow between your back and the pack, helping improve breathability during commutes, travel and active use.
What Back System Is Used?
The Palo 26L Active Backpack features a compression-moulded back panel that provides lightweight support and lasting comfort during long days on the move. Constructed from a stretch-woven nylon blend with EVA foam, it offers a supportive yet flexible structure that moves naturally with your body. A central ventilated channel improves airflow between your back and the pack, helping reduce heat build-up throughout the day. Combined with padded, adjustable shoulder straps, the back system distributes weight comfortably whether you're commuting, travelling or carrying a full day's worth of gear.
