Briggs & Riley HTA Medium Widemouth Backpack

SKU: AK124

Try to wedge a folded jacket or a pair of shoes through a narrow backpack opening and you already know how this goes — wrestling with a zipper, one item at a time, hoping nothing tears. The Briggs & Riley HTA Medium Widemouth Backpack skips that fight entirely: the main compartment opens wide, like a duffel, so you can see everything at once and pack it in a fraction of the time. It's built for commuters and frequent flyers who want a single grab-and-go bag that carries a laptop, a change of clothes, and the odds and ends of a busy day without a packing puzzle.

Where the HTA collection's Cargo backpacks organize gear into multiple structured compartments, the Medium Widemouth Backpack keeps things simple: one generous main space that's quick to load and easy to search, plus a dedicated padded compartment for a laptop up to 15.6 inches. It's made from durable recycled nylon and polyester woven from recycled plastic bottles, finished with genuine leather accents for a look that still holds up to daily commuting and travel days. A slip-through back panel lets it ride securely over the handle of a Briggs & Riley upright, turning two bags into one easy carry through the airport.
