What’s in the box?

x1 – Optimal Active Backpack

How protective is this backpack?
The Optimal Active Backpack is built for serious protection. A separate tech compartment is equipped with AiroFoam® impact-absorbing technology, protecting laptops and tablets from drops and shocks. It's also highly water-resistant, keeping your gear safe from rain, spills and splashes – though we wouldn’t recommend submerging it in water. Whether you're caught in a storm or on the move, your tech stays protected.

Is the wet bag included?
No, modular backpack accessories like the Optimal Wet Bag are sold separately. You can purchase them individually or as part of a bundle to customise your setup.

What's great about it

Arrow Icon White Left Arrow Icon White Right
One bag. Every setting
Why switch between a gym bag and a work backpack? This all-in-one design is sleek enough for the office and rugged enough for workouts – effortlessly transition between both.
Expands when you need it.
From gym kit to work essentials, the roll top design expands from 25L to 35L, giving you flexible storage. Pack more when you need it, streamline when you don’t.
Extreme AiroFoam® protection
This backpack features AiroFoam®, a non-Newtonian, impact-absorbing technology designed to protect larger tech devices from drop damage. It’s made up of intelligent molecules that rush together upon impact, forming hydrogen bonds that temporarily break and consume significant amounts of energy that would otherwise impact your device.
Tough enough for any commute.
Made from ultra-durable, water-resistant 840D ballistic nylon, this backpack is designed to withstand daily wear – whether you’re cycling, commuting or hitting the gym.
Smart zonal separation
Work gear and workout kit stay separate with zonal compartments, including a ventilated shoe section, so sweaty gym clothes never mix with your laptop and lunch.
Designed for all-day comfort
With ergonomic, EVA foam-padded straps, a breathable back panel and a stabilising sternum strap, this backpack is built for total comfort – no matter how much you’re carrying.
