DESIGNED BY THE COMMUNITY
We teamed with 700+ customers to create a 48-hour travel bag that addressed their extended travel needs. We collaborated on features, use cases, and prototypes to develop the 48-hour Travel System, a modular kit designed for multiple use cases.

THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL SETUP
The 48-Hour Travel System is designed for utmost flexibility. By combining a carryall, slim brief, and Monolite™ packing cubes, your essentials are organized and accessible for each phase of your journey.
The carryall is sized for travel by plane, train, and car. The removable brief organizes tech gear, and the packing cubes keep clothes neatly packed. All components work well together or independently.
CARRY IT YOUR WAY
From the curb to the gate and beyond, the 48-Hour Travel System is built to move with you. Switch effortlessly between a shoulder bag, a comfortable backpack, or a rolling luggage companion with the integrated suitcase passthrough. Each carry mode is designed for a different stage of travel, giving you the flexibility to navigate every leg of your trip with ease.
WORKS FOR J-HOOKS
For airline crews and road warriors, the handles of the 48-hour Carryall are substantial and low profile for J-hook attachments. The leather we use to encase the handles is full-grain and comes from the toughest part of a cowhide with the tightest grain (and the most expensive). It will soften over time, become more comfortable to carry, and won't lose its durability. It's the real thing.
ALWAYS A CLEAN PROFILE
When the 48-Hour Travel System is carried horizontally as a brief, the straps that transform it into a backpack are concealed in a zippered pocket so they stay out of the way.
When carried in backpack mode, the straps come out of their hiding place; magnetic buckles snap into place; and the side handle becomes a top handle. The two briefcase handles then get neatly tucked away.
MADE-FOR-LIFE MATERIALS
To withstand the rigors of travel, the 48-Hour Travel System is available in three durable textiles. The 15 oz. classic Waxed Canvas develops character with every trip. The ultra-rugged Ballistic Nylon stays looking new after years of use. The lightweight EcoPak® delivers maximum performance with minimal weight. Each material delivers optimal performance and handcrafted quality.
MAGICAL MONOLITE™ MESH
One touch of the Monolite™ Mesh and you'll appreciate its unique quality. Made of fine monofilaments in a square-weave mesh, it's soft as silk, translucent, durable and it stretches.
With its clear transparency, you can instantly see what's inside without unzipping the pockets, saving time and frustration. The Monolite™ Mesh is light-years ahead of traditional mesh fabrics, making it the perfect material for a bag made to last a lifetime.
made in usa
We're proud to offer American-made gear built for the long haul. All our products are designed and made in our San Francisco workshop, where rent is high, labor expensive, and competition intense. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
