Kapten & Son Bergen Ultra Backpack: 17L Commuter Pack for Two Laptops
The Kapten & Son Bergen Ultra backpack is a 17-litre urban laptop backpack designed for active workdays, daily commutes and organised travel. Its main advantage is simple: two separate fleece-lined compartments keep a 16-inch MacBook and a second laptop up to 15.6 inches protected and easy to reach, depending on its exact dimensions.
At 42.5 x 29 x 13.5 cm and 0.9 kg, it stays compact enough for city movement while adding dedicated space for a second device. The wide zip opening gives a clear view of the main compartment, while the scratch-resistant ripstop shell is made from 96% recycled PET and finished to repel light rain.
Pack one laptop with your charger, notebook, lunch and a light layer, or use both device compartments when the working day requires two computers. Move from the morning train to the office, then across town, with your tech protected and smaller essentials kept within reach.
Two Devices, One Clear System
The larger fleece-lined compartment measures 38.5 x 27 cm and fits a 16-inch MacBook. The second measures 34.5 x 27 cm and suits many laptops up to 15.6 inches or a tablet. Keeping the devices separate reduces friction during the working day and avoids stacking them in the main compartment.
The wide zip opening makes packing easier, while the front compartment, mesh pockets and zipped side organiser give cables, cards, keys and smaller essentials a defined place. On the opposite side, a zipped bottle holder keeps a drink accessible without leaving it loose inside the bag.
For a standard workday, pack one laptop with a charger, notebook, lunch and a light layer. When you need both device compartments, keep the rest of the load compact. On gym days, a small change of clothes can replace the lunch and extra layer.
From the Commute to the Next Departure
The padded back panel and adjustable shoulder straps support everyday carrying, while the sternum strap helps limit movement when walking quickly or cycling through the city. At 0.9 kg, the bag starts light before you add your work setup.
The water-repellent ripstop shell is suited to light rain, brief showers and occasional road spray. It is not fully waterproof, so sensitive electronics should still be protected during prolonged or heavy rain.
For train and airport connections, the trolley sleeve slides over a suitcase handle. Its compact dimensions may fit some airline personal-item allowances, but limits vary by airline and fare, so the exact allowance should always be checked before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The larger fleece-lined compartment measures 38.5 x 27 cm and fits a 16-inch MacBook. The second compartment measures 34.5 x 27 cm and suits many laptops up to 15.6 inches or a tablet. Always compare your device's exact dimensions, especially when using a protective case.
With one laptop, a realistic workday load includes a charger, notebook, lunch, small daily essentials and a light layer. When carrying two laptops, keep the remaining load compact. The 17-litre format is designed for organised day use rather than bulky weekend packing.
No. The ripstop exterior is water-repellent and suitable for light rain or brief showers, but the backpack is not fully waterproof or designed for prolonged heavy rain or submersion.
The padded back panel, padded adjustable shoulder straps and sternum strap support everyday commuting. Comfort still depends on the total load and fit, and the Bergen Ultra is intended as a 17-litre urban backpack rather than a technical pack for carrying heavy equipment.
Yes, for everyday urban cycling. The sternum strap helps limit movement and the water-repellent shell is useful in light drizzle. It is not a specialist cycling backpack and should be combined with suitable visibility equipment after dark.
Its dimensions are 42.5 x 29 x 13.5 cm, so it fits some airline personal-item allowances but exceeds others with a 40 cm height limit. It is not universally cabin-approved. Compare these dimensions with the allowance included in your exact fare before travelling.
The Ultra has 17 litres of capacity, two fleece-lined laptop compartments, a wider opening, a sternum strap and a scratch-resistant ripstop exterior. The Bergen Pro has a slimmer 15-litre format with one laptop compartment and one tablet compartment. Both weigh 0.9 kg.
Yes. The backpack is fully vegan and leather-free. Its exterior is made from 96% recycled PET, 3% polyester and 1% PU. Clean it with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach or use harsh detergents.
