Built from the strongest fabrics found on ferry life boats, the James backpack turns decommissioned life raft materials into a capable, everyday carry. Its expandable design adapts from approximately 14 to 18 litres, making it equally at home on a daily commute or a weekend away. Every component, from the recycled PET straps to the YKK zips, is chosen with longevity in mind.
The padded back panel and adjustable shoulder straps ensure all-day comfort, while the internal organisation keeps essentials within easy reach across every use.
