Bali Medium Backpack – Minimal Form, Maximum Freedom
Meet the Bali Medium Backpack by Kapten & Son - the smaller sibling of the original and bigger Bali backpack, offering the same refined design in a lighter, 18L everyday format. Built for modern mobility, this vegan, water-repellent daypack blends clean urban style with smart, easy-access organization. Compact enough for daily rides, spacious enough for a short escape, and carry-on friendly when you’re flying light.
Who is it for?
Design lovers, students, commuters, and digital nomads who want a compact, capable pack that moves as fast as they do. The Bali Medium Backpack is made for life in motion - from café hops and studio sessions to spontaneous overnight trips.


Why It Stands Out
- ✔️ Easy-Access Front Opening – fold-out design shows everything at once; no digging at the bottom
- ✔️ Tech-Ready – padded laptop sleeve (26.5 x 30 cm) fits a 16" MacBook or similar
- ✔️ Travel-Smart – suitcase attachment + compact, carry-on friendly profile
- ✔️ Thoughtful Storage – top compartment, zip top opening, right-side bottle pocket, interior mesh pocket
- ✔️ All-day Comfort – padded back panel and adjustable straps keep loads balanced
- ✔️ Conscious Build – durable vegan tech outer with a recycled PET lining
Its balanced structure makes it perfect for cycling, metro commutes, or spontaneous day trips. Like every creation from Kapten & Son / Kapten and Son, it fuses timeless aesthetics with practical utility - made for explorers who value both form and purpose.
Why You’ll Love It
- Compact size with confident carry - ideal for daily use and weekend light-packing
- Clean look, fast access - fold-out front opening keeps essentials in view
- Built for movement - from bike lanes to boarding gates without breaking stride
- Sustainable by design - vegan materials with recycled PET lining
The Kapten & Son Bali Medium is your do-it-all companion: sleek in the city, tough enough for travel, and organized for everyday grind. Grab it, pack it, go - no overthinking, just smooth, lightweight carry.
