Description

The Commute Backpack

Big school days run better when every device has a proper place.

The Commute Backpack is designed for senior students stepping into laptop-heavy timetables, uni prep and busier days beyond the classroom. Its slim, square silhouette keeps things neat, while the device-first layout means less digging through notebooks, chargers and the emergency snack supply.

A dedicated padded compartment at the back holds a 15-inch laptop, with a separate padded internal sleeve for a tablet. There's also a secure zip pocket for a phone, so the important stuff stays tucked away and easy to find. The streamlined 18L main compartment leaves room for everyday study essentials without turning the bag into a black hole.

Padded shoulder straps and a structured, supportive back panel make it comfortable to carry through the school day. Top handles offer a quick tote-style option, while the luggage sleeve slides over a suitcase handle for schoolies, uni open days and wherever study takes them next.

Key Features

  • 18L streamlined main compartment: Keeps books, chargers and daily essentials organised without unnecessary bulk.
  • Dedicated padded laptop compartment: Stores a 15-inch laptop separately at the back of the bag.
  • Padded tablet sleeve: Gives a second device its own protected place inside.
  • Secure phone zip pocket: Keeps a phone tucked away instead of disappearing into the main compartment.
  • Two comfortable carry options: Use the adjustable padded shoulder straps or grab the top handles for tote-style carry.
  • Ready for study trips: The luggage sleeve slides over a suitcase handle for easier travel.
  • Structured back panel: Adds support and helps the backpack hold its slim, square shape.

Capacity

44cm x 28cm x 14cm
18L capacity

For senior school now, uni prep next, and the travel in between. Less chaos, more calm.
