Wandrd Duo Daypack
As we begin to travel with more devices, many of which are becoming greater in value, Wandrd has developed the Duo Daypack to help keep them safe.
Instead of one big void to drop all of your belongings, Wandrd has designed an adjustable home for each within their new backpack.
Features
From the outside, the new Duo Daypack gives little away to the amount of order within.
At the front, there is a single panel pocket for documents, which appears to be the only easily accessible pocket, to others, when being worn. There is a felt-lined pouch at the top on the inside lip of the zip, but not visible.
So from a safety point of view, there are not many entry points for a pickpocket when the Duo is on your back.

To complete the exterior there are 8 x anchor points (straps sold separately) an expandable water bottle pocket and 2 x grab handles.
All of which are positioned for ease of use without interfering with the Duo’s most unique feature!
Infinite Zip System
Wandrd has fitted a near full circumference zip track around the Duo Daypack. It is called the Infinite Zip and is made possible by four individual zip sliders.
This system creates three ways to open the Duo and access the 20L of space inside. From above, from the sides, or open flat (clamshell).
WANDRD was born from two brothers who weren’t satisfied with the status quo. And while we’ve grown into a thriving team of passionate travelers, photographers, and creators (and a couple of smart asses), the same principles that founded our company run strongly through our veins.

The top two zippers can be opened to each side to create a standard opening. Whereas the lower two zippers on either side can be used independently creating easy access to each side panel of the daypack.
A Tidy Travellers Dream
But it’s the final one that unlocks the true potential of the Duo and opens up to great use of space and storage options for your gadgets.
Open the Duo up fully and you are greeted to a selection of various pockets, pouches and storage options.
On the internal and sidewalls, you will find padded and mesh pockets. Each of which is expandable so they can adjust to whatever you need them to hold.
There’s a separate compartment for up to a 15″ laptop and/or tablet that runs down the spine of the daypack.

On the base, there is what Wandrd are calling the Pop Camera Cube. This EVA foam padded cube sits flat in the base of the Duo.
But, should you need a secure space for your DSLR, pop up the cube, place it in and make use of the side openings should you need quick access!

I like the Wandrd company slogan “Wander more, worry less” and the new Duo Daypack does reinforce that message.
