Adaptive. Purpose-Built. Designed for real life.
Originally developed from the needs of our community, this roll-top was shaped by watermen, waterwomen, cyclists, weekend hikers, everyday commuters, and even a few friends in military and law-enforcement roles. The goal was simple; create a clean, minimal backpack that adapts to whatever the day brings, expanding from 23L to 28L with a roll top closure that’s fast, flexible, and weather-ready.
Living in Southern California, we wanted something that moved effortlessly between beach days, trail mornings, city rides, and work sessions. The exterior lash points were inspired by bike commuters who needed attachment spots for lights and accessories. The oversized side pockets were a direct request from friends who insisted their 32oz bottles fit securely with room to spare.
We also built in layered access points because not everyone wants to unroll a pack just to grab their laptop or get into the main compartment. A discreet side entry laptop pocket, a vertical back access zipper, and a quick-grab top pocket keep your essentials exactly where you need them. The integrated key hook was added so nobody loses their keys mid-ride (we’ve been there).
A question we hear often: “What are the buckles and D-rings on the front for on the shoulder straps?”
We don’t advertise these heavily, but they exist for a reason. Over the years, we’ve incorporated subtle functionality requested by operators in the military, law enforcement, and EOD communities. Those who need them know exactly what they’re for, everyone else just gets clean hardware that integrates seamlessly into the silhouette.
