What size laptop does this backpack fit?
The rear padded sleeve fits up to a 15" MacBook Pro. It's a dedicated, zippered pocket that keeps your laptop safe and easy to access without unpacking the main compartments.
What's the backpack's capacity?
The 24 Hour PLUS Backpack holds 28 liters. Essentially two 24 HR packs combined into one — enough room for a full day's gear plus a laptop, or a two-day carry-on trip.
What's the exterior made of?
Rugged 1000D Mil-Spec Cordura® Nylon. Same material the military uses for field gear — water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and built to last years of real-world abuse.
What's the benefit of dual clamshell access?
The two main compartments open fully, lay-flat style. Set up one side for one job (medical, range, tools) and the other for another (clothes, tech, EDC), and find what you need without dumping the bag.
Why does it have a bright orange interior?
The Blaze Orange 400D lining makes it easy to see and grab small items in low light. Especially useful for EMS/medical kits where seconds matter and for anyone digging through gear at dawn or dusk.
