  • Closed Loop Recycling

    Recycled + recyclable materials are only as good as the systems that can process them. We'll take back your Pack at the end of it's life and recycle its components.

    Padded, false bottom laptop sleeve with magnetic closure, padded tablet sleeve, dongle organization and more.

  • Robust Access Mechanism

    Tens of thousands of users helped us evolve our mechanics for security and consistency.
