Key Features
- Carry-On & Underseat Compatible: With dimensions of 29 x 41 x 17 cm, this pack is engineered to fit securely under the seat in front of you on most commercial flights. This makes it a practical choice for travelers seeking to avoid checked baggage fees and streamline boarding, especially on regional or budget carriers with strict carry-on policies.
- Removable 15.6” Laptop Sleeve: A fully padded, detachable sleeve accommodates laptops up to 15.6 inches, providing reliable protection during transit. Its removable design offers flexibility—use it as a standalone laptop case for meetings or detach it to free up space in the main compartment for gym clothes, documents, or travel accessories.
- Full Organization Panel: Inside the front compartment, a comprehensive organizational system keeps daily essentials neatly arranged. This includes a secure zippered pocket for small valuables, a built-in key fob to prevent misplaced keys, a soft-lined sunglasses loop to protect lenses, and a dedicated anti-scratch compartment ideal for smartphones, e-readers, or tablets.
- Bottle Holder: A side-accessible mesh pocket provides quick access to a water bottle, encouraging hydration during commutes or outdoor walks. The elasticized design accommodates various bottle sizes while maintaining a clean profile when not in use.
- Water-Resistant Exterior: The outer shell is made from recycled polyester (rPET), offering resistance to light rain, spills, and urban grime. This feature helps safeguard your electronics and documents during unexpected weather, though the pack is not intended for submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
- High Abrasion Resistance: Reinforced construction ensures the daypack withstands the rigors of daily use, from backpack hooks on public transit to frequent handling at security checkpoints. The durable fabric maintains its appearance and function over time, even in high-traffic environments.
- Swiss Craftsmanship: Backed by more than 140 years of Victorinox expertise, this daypack embodies a legacy of precision engineering and innovative design.

Important Notes
This daypack is intended for everyday use and light travel. While the rPET fabric provides water resistance against splashes and light rain, it is not fully waterproof—avoid placing the pack in standing water or exposing it to heavy storms. The removable laptop sleeve should be stored properly when detached to maintain its protective padding. Always verify airline-specific underseat dimensions before travel, as seat configurations may vary by aircraft model. The product ships unboxed and is ready for immediate use.
