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!

Probably the best backpack I’ve ever owned. Ridiculously versatile. The shoe compartment is the killer feature, as the separate compartment for your sneakers (or sweaty gym clothes) is completely separate to the rest of the bag. I use this every day for work and the gym.

I recommend buying the add-on wet bag to keep your shoes in though, that way you don’t have to keep cleaning the shoe compartment if it gets dirty from the soles of your footwear.

Naturally, it has mous’ usual separate AEROfoam padded compartment for your tech also. (I often carry a 16 inch MacBook Pro and a 12.9 inch iPad in this compartment).

Normally don’t like roll top bags, as it’s hard to get anything out that’s on the bottom, but the additional zipped side pocket alleviates this problem.

This is the third mous backpack I have purchased in a year, as I don’t see me carrying anything else because these products sre perfect for all my needs.

Mous is KING.
