Padded Laptop Compartment
The external waterproof padded laptop compartment fits up to a 16" MacBook Pro. The base of the laptop compartment is raised above the bottom of the bag creating a false bottom so that your laptop never comes in contact with the floor.
Luggage Handle Pass Through
The lumbar pad creates a heavy-duty luggage handle pass through that allows the pack to remain in a vertical orientation when paired with rolling luggage.
