Product Overview
The Knack Series 1 Laptop Backpack is engineered for the modern professional who values efficiency, comfort, and adaptability. Designed to fit laptops up to 15.6 inches, this backpack stands out with its innovative expandable design—transforming from a compact 27L daily commuter bag into a spacious 39L travel pack with just a simple adjustment. This dual functionality allows you to carry everything you need without juggling multiple bags, whether you’re heading to the office, hopping on a flight, or meeting friends after work.
Crafted by bag enthusiasts since 2018, Knack was born from a shared frustration: too many people end up carrying too many bags, leading to inconvenience, clutter, and even physical strain like sore shoulders. The brand’s mission is simple—to create smart, expandable solutions that adapt seamlessly to whatever your day demands. The Series 1 backpack embodies this philosophy, offering one versatile bag that handles both everyday commutes and spontaneous trips with equal ease.
Key Features
- Expandable Design: Starting at 27 liters, this backpack expands to 39 liters using a hidden, patent-pending suitcase compartment. This means one backpack serves as both a sleek laptop commuter bag and a full-sized travel pack—perfect for weekend getaways or unexpected trips without needing an extra suitcase.
- Superior Organization: With three compartments and 12 dedicated pockets, including a removable key leash, card slots, and pen loops, every item has a designated spot. The clamshell opening makes accessing contents effortless—no more digging through layers to find what you need.
- Tech & Device Protection: A fleece-lined tablet pocket and padded laptop sleeve keep your devices safe from bumps and scratches. An RFID-blocking anti-skimming pocket safeguards credit cards and sensitive data from digital theft during daily transit.
- Security-Focused Construction: All main compartments feature lockable zipper sliders, adding a layer of theft deterrence ideal for public transport, crowded spaces, or busy urban environments.
- Ergonomic Comfort: Designed for all-day wear, the backpack uses lightweight materials and high-quality closed-cell EPE foam in the straps and handles. The custom-molded Comfort-Cool back panel reduces heat buildup, while contoured ergonomics evenly distribute weight across your shoulders and back.
- Premium Materials & Durability: Built to last, it features YKK zippers, Duraflex buckles, and zinc alloy pulls. Knack rigorously tests each backpack against over 15 global standards for abrasion resistance, tear strength, seam durability, and strap performance.
- Professional Styling: Free from hiking-inspired details like external loops or compression straps, the minimalist design ensures your backpack looks appropriate in boardrooms, networking events, or casual meetups. Suits-inspired fabrics add a refined touch that transitions effortlessly between settings.
