Rain, scrapes, urban streets, isolated wilderness…and one bag that can handle them all? You bet. Meet the GARNET, a crossover utility daypack that merges lightweight construction with exceptional versatility.

Weatherproof protection that won’t weigh you down

Created by the innovative Taiwanese brand HANCHOR, the GARNET is a rolltop backpack with an adjustable 19L to 27L volume to suit changing loads.

The bag comes in two lightweight yet durable fabric options, the GARNET VX21 and GARNET LS42. Both weigh in at around 800g including the removable sternum strap, hipbelt and back frame pad.

And when unexpected showers strike? No problem. Complementing the weatherproof fabrics are water-resistant YKK zippers and a unique stitching and construction technique to keep the elements at bay and your gear protected.

Outdoor functionality with city smarts

The GARNET deftly blends Taiwanese outdoor style and urban practicality. A side zipper enables quick and easy access to the main compartment, while the front pocket is handy for stashing frequently used items.

To avoid frustrating tipping, the bag includes a thick seam binding on the base to help it stay upright when placed on the ground. The pack can be used with a hydration bladder but also offers a convenient exterior water bottle pocket. Need to carry bulky items too? External bungee and string loops have you covered, allowing you to securely attach items such as a tripod or trekking poles.

If you’re keen on additional organization for work tools or EDC items, the GARNET can also be paired with optional attachments such as a laptop case and mulitfunctional organizer.

Killer value for everyday use

With the GARNET you get a lot of flexibility and carry freedom in one bag. There’s no need to swap out your pack to accommodate different needs and environments. Haul it up hills, around town, to the gym or on your travels. Even better, you get great value for money at $US180 for the GARNET VX21 and $US210 for the GARNET LS42 if you pre-order before the 8th of August. With its versatile design, tough and weatherproof build, and adjustable capacity this is definitely worth taking note of if you want a multifunctional bag for the city and beyond.
