The thought of traveling today without a phone and a charger seems ridiculous. In fact, most of us wouldn’t leave town without a laptop or tablet. Lander designs travel backpacks and messenger bags that let travelers take their high-tech devices anywhere they go — whether it’s a hike to camp or a flight to another country. Lander outdoor tech backpacks keep expensive electronics safe from the wrath of Mother Nature, overzealous baggage handlers, or anything else that can damage fragile electronic devices. Instead of shouty colors and gimmicks, Lander travel bags are made with tough, weather-resistant materials and smart features that travelers and hikers will use every day. Lander backpacks take a beating so gear and electronics don’t have to.
Materials
Lander travel bags and outdoor tech backpacks are made with durable, lightweight, eco-friendly materials. They’re tough enough to handle the subway and light enough for a hike outside. The Crash Pad — the section of Lander’s expedition-inspired packs that’s designed to keep electronics safe — is made from ripstop nylon. It’s also TPU-coated to keep water out. The cargo area is made with Cordura® Ecomade, a durable, recycled material developed by Cordura in partnership with Lander. To minimize weight, Lander uses tough, TPU-coated ripstop nylon in its minimalist Timp packs. All Lander travel and outdoor tech backpacks feature taped seams and waterproof zippers to protect gear from water and weather.
Organization
Lander builds backpacks with smart organizational features to make items easy to locate inside the pack. Traveler and Commuter backpacks feature Crash Pad and Cargo sections to keep electronics separated from other gear and clothing. The Traveler’s main compartment is large enough to hold two Lander Parcels (sold separately). The Commuter will hold one Lander Parcel with plenty of room to spare. These smaller organizers make it easy to keep clothing separated, so there’s no need to rifle through the entire pack to find a pair of socks. Additional pockets separate and organize boots, dirty clothes, and smaller items. Despite their lightweight, minimalist design, Timp outdoor tech backpacks are also made with pockets, straps, daisy chains, and other organizational features to keep items safe and easy to find during travel.
Comfort
Lander designs its travel and outdoor tech backpacks with long-distance and outdoor travel in mind. They feature padded, breathable back panels that promote airflow and wick moisture. Adjustable shoulder straps add comfort for users of any height. Adjustable sternum straps keep the backpack firmly in place during travel and add an element of security in crowded urban settings. Lander bags also feature multiple haul handles — a feature that makes a huge difference setting up and breaking down camp, moving through airport security lines, and getting on and off an airplane.
Tech
Lander outdoor tech backpacks are made with modern electronics in mind. Traveler and Commuter backpacks feature waterproof Crash Pads. These areas carry and protect valuable electronics. Laptop backpack sleeves are common, but Crash Pads take protection to the next level. Padding extends around the edges of the laptop to protect the device if the pack is dropped. Separate areas for mobile devices, chargers, and spare batteries keep electronics organized. Crash Pads also feature the Hot Route — an inner channel designed for storage and easy access of cords and cables. All Lander travel and outdoor tech backpacks include separate, padded sleeves to add an important element of safety for expensive electronic devices.
