The legendary British outdoor brand Rab has returned, but this time, they’re not scaling craggy peaks or conquering raging rivers. No, they’ve set their sights on the everyday adventure: your daily commute. Enter the Adrift packs—at first glance, they may resemble your standard carry bags, but underneath that sleek exterior lies an engineering marvel, infused with the relentless spirit of climbers who dare to defy gravity.
Rab is renowned for a diverse range of outdoor gear, from waterproof jackets to sleeping bags. Yet, their expertise extends into the realm of backpacks, as brilliantly showcased by the Adrift series, designed not just for the mountain trails but also for the urban jungle.
Imagine this: a ready-for-anything companion, standing by your side—whether you’re embarking on a steep ascent or merely evading that precarious coffee spill while navigating crowded subway cars.
Launching this season, the Adrift packs harmoniously blend rugged durability with city-chic aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from Rab’s rich climbing heritage, they’re crafted with the modern adventurer in mind. With options available in both 24L and 30L capacities (660g and 720g respectively), these bags come in a delightful array of four colors, equipped with practical features like a dedicated 15” laptop sleeve for the corporate warriors and a bike light loop for those who prefer the pedal power in their commute.
With intricate details reminiscent of expedition gear, including resilient 210D ripstop nylon and a flexible Contour back system, these bags are poised to ad-just seamlessly to whatever challenge you present them, be it torrential rain or a last-minute meeting.
And it doesn’t stop there; Rab is ambitiously plotting a full lineup of packs slated for release in 2025—each design meticulously tailored for every conceivable adventure imaginable.
For now, however, the Adrift series tantalizingly invites you to embrace the spirit of the great outdoors—without the hassle of passports or vacation days. So, if you’re eager to infuse a hint of adventure into your office routine or simply to your nearest café with Wi-Fi, look no further. Rab’s Adrift packs are the essential gear upgrade your Monday has been yearning for.
Explore the Adrift backpack at Rab UK and Rab US. Prices start at approximately £80 / $80 (around AU$157), with the AU price and availability pending confirmation.
