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

Workzone:

  • Padded, fleece-lined laptop and tablet pockets 
  • Large organizer panel with multiple pockets for all your work and tech essentials
  • USB-charging cable pass-through for on-the-go charging
  • Enhanced ergonomic foam padding for extended carry comfort 
  • Hidden, zippered lumbar pockets to keep valuables safe

Lifezone:

  • Signature FlowCloset™ system 
  • Two large internal zippered pockets
  • Anti-scratch zippered sunglass pocket 
  • Two expanding side pockets
  • Suitcase seatbelt 
  • Adjustable sternum strap 
  • Drawstring dust-cover doubles as a shoe or laundry bag
FlowCloset™
  1. Hang the FlowCloset™ on a closet rod or coat hook using the integrated hook
  2. Fully extend the compression straps on both sides
  3. Pack each shelf approximately 75% full for compact items, or 100% full for puffy items.
  4. Pull the tails of the compression straps to compress the closet as much as possible. This is best done laying flat on a bed or table. 

When you arrive at your destination, simply hang the FlowCloset™ and unpack in seconds!

The closet feature seems pretty useless. Put 3 days worth of clothes in it and it wouldn’t even fit when synched but without using the carry closet I can fit double the clothes. Hype for a useless concept.
