This roll top bag is designed to work as hard out on the trail as it does to get you there. An innovative closure provides unparalleled access while straps tuck away for a streamlined profile to prevent snagging while used as a carryon or packed in the trunk.
The prototyping process started in full scale paper, tyvek, and muslin mockups to get a feel for proportions before moving to 1/4 scale paper mockups to quickly iterate patterning and structure of the pack.
The bag features a laptop/hydration sleeve, two internal compression straps, and two external stretch pockets. The roll top closure is bisected by a vertical zipper that allows for unparalleled access for packing when unzipped from the top, as well as quick access to packed items when unzipped from the bottom of the bag.
