How protective is this backpack?
The Optimal Active Backpack is built for serious protection. A separate tech compartment is equipped with AiroFoam® impact-absorbing technology, protecting laptops and tablets from drops and shocks. It's also highly water-resistant, keeping your gear safe from rain, spills and splashes – though we wouldn’t recommend submerging it in water. Whether you're caught in a storm or on the move, your tech stays protected.
Is the wet bag included?
No, modular backpack accessories like the Optimal Wet Bag are sold separately. You can purchase them individually or as part of a bundle to customise your setup.

All went wrong with my order at first. Delayed due to shipping - spanish customs asked me to pay almost 100€ extra to receive it...
I reached out to Mous and they fixed the issue so fast I was almost in disbelief. At the end I received the bagpack (amazing btw, been using it for a week) and even though it was delayed I'mjust so impressed with the customer service team, I'd give them a 15 star if possible.
Things happen (sometimes) but the way you solve it makes the difference. Thanks guys!

Great product. I didn´t test the Backpack in the rain yet, but i allready love it.
B
A superbly well-thought-out layout. Very comfortable to wear. The combination for gym and office is very well done. I love the concept. There's one thing I would personally change: the plastic fasteners. I don't yet know how long they'll last. Great product overall. Well done.
