Meet Traverse: Quad Lock's First Backpack, Designed in Partnership with Thule
Your commute is not just getting from A to B. It’s the walk to the station, the ride into the city, the dash between meetings, and the trip home in unpredictable weather. It’s also the stuff you carry every day...your laptop, chargers, headphones, keys, and all the other essentials that make your day run smoothly.
That’s exactly why the Traverse backpack was designed in partnership with Thule. The Quad Lock Traverse Backpack (26L) combines all-day comfort, everyday protection, weather resistance, and smart organisation, ensuring your gear stays secure, protected, and easily accessible whether you’re commuting on foot, by train, or on a bike.
Built for all-day comfort
Traverse is designed to stay comfortable from the first wear to the last commute.
Key comfort features include:
- Breathable shoulder straps to help manage heat on busy days
- A padded back panel for support and comfort
- A sternum strap for stability, especially when you’re riding
- A contoured design that helps reduce strain over long days
Whether you’re walking across town or cycling into work, Traverse is made to feel secure and supportive along the way.
17-inch laptop sleeve with fast access
Your laptop is often the one item you can’t afford to knock around. Traverse includes a dedicated 17-inch laptop sleeve that is thickly padded and elevated to help protect devices from bumps and drops.
It’s also designed for speed. With dual access, including a side-zip quick-access opening, you can grab your laptop without unpacking the whole bag.
Weather-resistent
Commutes don’t pause when the weather changes. Traverse is built with durability and weather resistance in mind.
- Rugged 900D materials engineered for long-term durability
- Weather-resistant panels and a base to help shield your gear
- A PFC-free DWR finish to help repel rain when conditions turn
Smart organisation that keeps essentials easy to find
A great backpack shouldn’t feel like a black hole. Traverse is built with smart organisation, so everything stays in its place and within easy reach, without you having to blindly dig through your bag.
A subtle detail that makes a big difference is the colourway. The sleek black exterior keeps the look clean and understated, while the Quad Lock blue interior improves visibility so you can spot what you need at a glance. With multiple zip pockets and dedicated sections for everyday essentials, including space for headphones and pens, a key hook, and a protected spot for your sunnies.
