Classic Plus vs Classic Pro: Which one is right for you

Classic Plus/Pro: How To Make The Right Choice

Should I go for 32L or 42L?

Pick 32L for 2–5‑day minimalist trips, city breaks, or travellers under stricter airline size/weight rules. It’s cabin‑sized and easier to live with day‑to‑day.

Pick 42L for 4–7‑day one‑bag travel, bulkier clothing (winter), or when you need more gear but still want a cabin‑sized pack.

*Always check with your airlines beforehand.

Classic Plus Vs Pro: What’s the Difference?

Choose Classic Plus if you want a lighter, simpler, great‑value cabin backpack with the essentials. Prefer more structure and back comfort, but don't need a hip belt.

Choose Classic Pro if you carry more and want extra structure and comfort: dual compartments (with a large front organiser), easy‑access padded laptop sleeve, and a padded waist belt to take the load off your shoulders.

Choose the Classic Plus Series if you prioritise:

• Lowest Possible Weight: The Plus models are significantly lighter, maximising the amount of gear you can carry within strict airline weight limits.

• Simplicity: With fewer features, the Plus series offers a more straightforward experience at a lower price point.

• You don't want or need a hip belt. Some may find a hip belt unnecessary and prefer the simpler, lighter harness of the Plus series. The padded back panel and sternum strap provide enough comfort for moderate loads.

Choose the Classic Pro Series if you prioritise:

• Superior Comfort for heavier loads: The Pro includes a padded hip belt designed to transfer weight from your shoulders to your hips, which can dramatically improve comfort on long walks through airports or cities.   

• Better Organisation: Two compartments mean your tech and your tees never have to mingle. Everything has its place.

• More convenient Laptop placement: there is an additional laptop sleeve, which is padded and located on the front compartment. Easier to take out in transit or during security checks.
