20L waterproof carry for the daily commute
The Sandqvist STREAM Lid Backpack 16" is a 20L waterproof commuter backpack designed for everyday use. Its clean lid-and-buckle closure keeps the silhouette simple, while waterproof recycled materials and AquaGuard YKK zippers help keep your gear protected when the weather turns.
At 28 x 40 x 14 cm, it stays compact enough for daily movement without giving up useful capacity. The matte surface is easy to wipe clean, and the backpack is fully vegan.
