What is the difference between the Lift 40L Rollerbag and your other backpacks?
The Lift 40L Rollerbag is our first-ever luggage piece. The first product on our catalogue that can be both rolled, but still be used as a backpack when rolling is not an option. It is basically a Suitcase designed through the same Tropicfeel design DNA, versatility to make Traveler's lives easier.

What is the difference between the Shell and Nest backpacks?
In terms of use: Shell is bigger and it is recommended for longer trips.
Nest is smaller and it’s perfectly designed for your everyday life, short trips, and hobbies you have!

What is the difference between the Hive and your other backpacks?
Hive is a combination of all the great features of our Nest and Shell backpack. Hive has an urban and clean look and is our most versatile and expandable backpack yet. It has a wide range of useful accessories to uprise its adaptability in every situation. Hive has been built with the dynamic lifestyle of digital nomads and creators in mind and is our most technical backpack yet!

What is the difference between the Waterproof Daypack and your other backpacks?
The Waterproof Daypack is a 12L waterproof daypack that can only be used as an add-on to the Shelter Backpack as a front pouch or as a separate daily use backpack. 

What is the difference between the Nook daypack and you other backpacks?
The Nook shares most of its similarities with Nest, as they are similar in size and capacity. Even though both have similar purposes, Nook has more of an outdoorsy look and features (ie. drawstring cord closure). It is also more expandable, making it more suitable for short adventure trips and hobbies than Nest. However, it is highly organisational (laptop compartment, document holder, A5/iPad protected pocket…) so you won’t leave it behind in your daily endeavours. Its accessory ecosystem allows the backpack to adapt to your needs in an efficient way.

How do I clean my backpack/luggage?
The best way to clean all of our backpacks is to wipe the inside and outside after each trip with a damp cloth and let them air dry. We do not recommend fully submerging our backpacks in water.

If the stain is hard and you need soap: Yes, you can use mild soap on your damp cloth, however, do not apply it directly to the product. We always recommend non-toxic, environmentally friendly soap options.

Are they waterproof?

Nest:
Our Nest backpack is not waterproof, but it is water-repellent. Most of the materials repel water, the main and front zippers are 100% sealed, and we use water-resistant YKK zippers all around. However, we don't recommend immersing the backpack in water for long.

Shell: 
All of the materials in the backpack have either DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, PU coating, or both. This makes the backpack itself weatherproof & water repellent. During a day of heavy rain, it is possible that water could enter through the seams.

Nook: 
All of the materials have been treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, aPU coating, or both. This makes the backpack itself weatherproof & water-repellent. During heavy rain, water could eventually penetrate through the seams.

Shelter: 
All of the materials used on the backpack either have DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, PU coating, or both. This makes the backpack itself water-repellent and during a day of heavy rain, water could penetrate through the seams. However, when the cocoon rainfly (cover) is used the backpack will be waterproof if used correctly. The waterproof daypack is 100% waterproof if sealed correctly.

Waterproof Daypack:
The waterproof daypack is 100% waterproof if sealed correctly. 

Lift 40L Rollerbag:
The lining material used on LIFT 40L Rollerbag has a PU backing together with a Water repellent C6 finish that assures its resistance to water & humidity.

To excel with the material performance, we created these side pockets with a Seamless construction, meaning there are no thread punctures on the material that will affect its water resistance.

Are the accessories included?
Backpack accessories can either be purchased in a backpack combo or separately on the accessories page.
