Why We Made It

We seek work/life/travel balance, so we designed a backpack that can go from weeklong to weekend mode with dedicated Lifezone and Workzone.

Sleek, stylish and sustainable, the expandable zipper offers flexibility to pack light, or expand as needed. Like our award-winning Carry-On Closet, the Venture comes with a FlowCloset™, our removable hanging closet to keep a week’s worth of clothes organized and easily accessible.

We’ve traveled far and wide, tweaked and tested, to perfect our multi-tasking everyday and travel day companion. Travel everywhere and work anywhere.

Features
  • Patented Five-Shelf Shelving System To Keep You Organized
  • Easily Accessible USB Charging Port For On-The-Go Power
  • Frictionless Wheels That Barely Make a Sound
  • TSA Approved Three-Digit Lock
  • Unbreakable Polycarbonate Shell And Aluminum Frame
  • Ergonomic Handle For Maximum Comfort and Control
  • Cleans up 6 lbs of ocean-bound plastic from coastal communities.
  • Interior Shore-Tex® lining, made from 100% recycled plastic
Tall FlowCloset™

To use the Tall FlowCloset™ system, pack with the shelf fully extended

  1. Open the suitcase door 90 degrees. Clip together both hanging latches to keep suitcase from extending further than 90 degrees.
  2. Lift the shelf up and hang from the suitcase handle.
  3. Pack each shelf to 60-70% full.
  4. To close, lower the shelf into the suitcase, compress into place, and close the suitcase. Use the compression straps if you're packing in a lot of bulky items.

When you arrive at your destination, simply reverse these steps to unpack!

The design of this backpack is brilliant. It’s the ideal size and has several innovative and useful features. I deducted one star because of the lack of side cinching straps to offer a variable expansion and compression feature.

Logically designed with all the perfect functionality for work travel backpack. The Pro fabric and zippers are heavy duty, the felt laptop protector sections is greatly appreciated. And the key ring - genius!!! I’ve been looking for a work backpack with all the right amenities for years and this checked all the boxes. The medium is perfect for short weekend or 2-3 day trips with the removable closet. Love love love it!

Returning- bag quality is good but the organized area is much smaller than expecting barely able to hold a pair of pants - was more of a nice book bag
