WHY WE BUILT THE ReFRACTION™ BACKPACK

Having an extra daypack at your destination is clutch, but travel can be pretty dynamic. One day you’re surrounded by sky scrapers and the next you’re on a cliffside trail. We built the ReFraction™ series with this in mind. ReFraction™’s refined aesthetics disguise the technical outdoor materials, components, and construction techniques that make this bag tick. Dress it up or down, city or trail, rain or shine. ReFraction™always looks the part and exceeds expectations.

How do I stow my ReFraction™ Series Bags for travel?
ReFraction™ Series bags are designed to be simple and straightforward to pack up for travel. Each bag features a convenient organizational pocket that you invert the bag into. Zip closed and take it with.    

Does the ReFraction™ Backpack have comfortable shoulder straps?
We have designed the ReFraction™ Backpack with comfortable carry in mind. The backpack straps feature lightweight padding throughout, and have hidden internal structure that prevents the shoulder straps from pinching inward or digging in. This makes the ReFraction™ Backpack comfortable enough for all day wear, and even day hikes.    

What makes Refraction™ Series Bags different from other packable bags available?
ReFraction™ Series is designed to be balanced and versatile. Well-rounded features like comfortable straps, water bottle pockets, and stretchy organization pockets transition from airports, to city, to trail. Sustainable materials, elevated styling, and multiple colorways let you take your personality with you when you travel. 

What sustainable materials are used in the ReFraction™ Series?
Our team has gone great lengths to build the ReFraction™ Series with sustainability and lifecycle in mind from the very beginning. These bags are built from recycled nylon that meet Bluesign® criteria. Bluesign® is a highly reputable third party certification criteria that requires that fabrics do not contain harmful substances, are environmentally friendly, and are produced in a safe and fair environment. Our materials are also free from PFC, PFA, and PFAS.

Is the ReFraction™ Series waterproof?
The ReFraction™ Series is built from waterproof materials and has YKK® sealing zippers. The ReFraction™ Series is designed to withstand light bouts of precipitation. Outdoor coatings add further protection by letting water slick off the fabric. If you’re looking for full weatherproofing, we recommend the Advanced Series bags.

Are the ReFraction™ Series backpack and duffle bag personal-item size compliant?
Yes, all of the ReFraction™ Series bags are personal-item size compliant. Also—the sling does not count against your baggage count and is considered to be an item of clothing by most airlines. This makes it an excellent place to keep your in-flight accessories or essentials when you travel—it’s free space.

How long is the warranty?
The ReFraction™ Series has a 3 year, Total-Protection-Warranty. Built from high quality outdoor fabrics, the ReFraction™ Series is made to last.  Equipment in and out of warranty is eligible for free repairs. (Excludes European Union)

I was originally disappointed with the size of this bag upon arrival and even though I bought it on sale I didn’t think it would get much use.

This is the first thing that gets packed on any trip. Flying, motorcycle trips, moto camping trips. It is just and all around essential travel bag.

For flying I keep everything condensed in one bag until after security and once I’m through I pull out all my essentials and it goes in this hand sized packable bag.

Simply just and amazingly useful packable bag.

On the trip I am on now I have the current contents in this bag:

MacBook Pro 15”
Essential cables bag
Notebook
Gaming controller
2 x quart bags of snacks
Apple Magic Mouse
Sun glasses
RX glasses
Fjällräven’s Ulvo Hip pack Large 4 liter
2 x SSD’s
Satechi 145W GaN Travel Charger
Anker battery bank
Windbreaker
Scramble Bucket Hat
