Most backpacks now look like tech gadgets. This one goes back to the rugged lines of old military and workwear packs, and it's built to be used just as hard.

The details that make it work

The sturdy canvas construction holds its shape and wears in rather than wearing out. A flap-top closure with adjustable buckle straps keeps the main compartment secure, and the hardware is made to be handled every day, not just to look good in a photo. Multiple external pockets hold the things you need quickly, like your phone, keys and headphones, so you don't have to dig through the main bag. The main compartment is sized for everyday use and has room for a laptop.

Where it fits in

Commuting, university, weekend trips and days out. It's the one-bag setup that beats digging through a tote. Seven colours give you plenty of choice.
