Built to thrive in everyday urban life, the Checkpoint seamlessly handles commutes, meetings, and daily essentials—with just the right touch of travel readiness. Crafted from durable 500D Cordura® and finished with dependable YKK® reverse coil zippers, it’s designed for reliability without sacrificing refinement. The compact form factor meets TSA carry-on standards, making it equally at home in a boardroom or boarding zone. A padded, floating laptop sleeve protects most 15” laptops and select 16” models, while a dedicated tablet/document pocket fits magazines, files, or a 13” iPad Pro. A quick-access top zipper provides direct entry to the laptop sleeve—ideal for breezing through TSA checkpoints. The clamshell opening offers wide, full-access packing, with lower side zippers providing direct entry to gear packed at the bottom. A streamlined top pocket provides quick access to small essentials, featuring internal dividers for easy organization. The ambidextrous vertical-zippered front stash pocket delivers convenient storage while remaining low-profile. Reinforced side pockets easily hold 32oz bottles, and a streamlined top handle provides easy carry and convenient hanging. Inspired by our ARK frame platform, the harness system uses the same premium foam for structure and long-haul support—streamlined for everyday use without compromising comfort. An internal frame sheet with a single stay adds structural integrity and enhanced load distribution.
