Sackville Day Pack

The Sunforger treatment makes the canvas highly water-resistant, meaning it will shed light rain and moisture effectively. However, because it is a natural fiber, it is not fully waterproof like a synthetic pack with a seam-sealed liner, so you should avoid submerging it or exposing it to prolonged, torrential downpours.

The pack includes an internal sleeve specifically designed to hold a laptop, notebook, and book. While it provides a dedicated space, keep in mind that the sleeve is not heavily padded, so it is best suited for laptops that are already in a slim protective case.

The wool-felt padding offers a firm, natural cushion that provides excellent grip and prevents the straps from sliding off your shoulders. They are designed to be less bulky than modern foam straps, making them ideal for daily commuting and light hiking.

Yes, the top-loading design is specifically built to accommodate tall or bulky items that extend above the main compartment. You can secure the lid using the drawcord system even if you aren't using the steel buckles, allowing for flexible packing.

Unlike synthetic nylon or polyester packs that often make a 'swishing' sound, the cotton canvas construction is naturally quiet. It is a great choice if you prefer gear that doesn't draw attention with every movement.

The Sunforger treatment is durable, but you can spot clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap when necessary. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as these can strip the protective treatment and compromise the integrity of the fabric.
