Briggs & Riley HTA Collection Slim Expandable Backpack

SKU: AK123X

Some days call for nothing more than a laptop and a few essentials, and other days you come home with a few extra things you didn't plan on carrying. The Briggs & Riley HTA Collection Slim Expandable Backpack was built for that gap, staying trim enough to slide under an airplane seat or a desk on a normal day, then unzipping to add extra room when the day gets bigger than expected. It suits commuters, day-trippers, and travelers who want one backpack that adapts instead of two bags that don't.

Inside, a padded laptop compartment fits most 16-inch computers alongside a slip pocket for a tablet, and a left front pocket adds RFID shielding to help keep cards and passports safe from digital skimming while a right front pocket holds a water bottle or other small items within reach. The HTA Slim Expandable Backpack is built from durable recycled nylon and polyester made from 26 recycled plastic bottles, with padded, ergonomic shoulder straps and an anti-bacterial air mesh back panel that stays breathable over a long day, plus a slip-through back panel that lets it ride over the Outsider® handle of a Briggs & Riley wheeled bag.
