Hikerdelic x Elliker Cautley Flap Over Backpack

The most substantial piece in our three-item capsule with Elliker comes our take on their Cautley Flap Over Backpack. This 23L capacity shape-shifter is built for big days and long weekends, whether embracing the outdoors or going down a more relaxed route.

Built from 100% recycled polyester with a waterproof PU coating, the Cautley keeps things light on your back and lighter on the planet, without compromising on toughness. 

The flap-over top locks down with an adjustable clip system and movable carabiner anchors, so you can shift and tweak the carry depending on what you’re hauling. Whether it’s overpacked or travelling light, this bag flexes with your load. A double-zip front access means you can grab essentials fast without that annoying rummaging around at the airport gate or out on your hike with freezing fingers..

Up top, a padded external laptop sleeve fits up to a 16” MacBook (other laptop brands will also fit, obvs), with built-in pockets for phone, pens and medical items such as your inhaler, while a zip pocket in the flap keeps your grab-and-go items close. On the outside, dual elasticated bottle pockets, adjustable side cradles and daisy-chain webbing give you plenty of ways to lash on extra kit.

Inside, the roomy drawstring main compartment hides another elasticated laptop sleeve, plus internal organisers and a zip pocket with key clip and daisy-chain strap to keep your setup dialled.

Finished with ergonomic padded straps, a breathable back panel, and adjustable waist and chest straps, the Cautley stays balanced and comfortable whether you’re weaving through city streets or heading off the beaten track.
