Will this backpack protect my tech if I drop it in water? Can it be submerged?
Our Extreme Commuter backpacks are water-resistant. This means if you’re cycling to work or get caught in a storm, your laptop, tablet and other tech should be fine inside. However, we wouldn’t recommend taking your backpack for a swim as these are not fully waterproof.
Will this backpack protect my tech if I drop it on the floor?
Absolutely! We’ve constructed our Extreme Commuter backpacks with AiroFoam®, our impact-absorbing technology. We've applied all of our tech protection expertise to make sure your devices will be seriously protected inside.
What's the difference between this backpack and the Extreme Commuter Zip backpack?
Our Extreme Commuter backpacks are designed to get you from A to B and beyond. This one features a top flap with Fidlock® technology and lockable YKK zippers for added security, while the other has a wraparound zip for seamless accessibility. Simply put, you get the same protection, materials and detailing, but different access options.

Great quality as always. My dad has the bigger commuter but for me this was better for uni
A
Great workmanship, quality stuff, well-thought-out design.
My daily carry on this backpack seem lighter then my previous Tumi backpack, and it was 50% cheaper.
K
Fantastic product!! Sturdy yet soft, loads of room to pack enough for a few days plus laptop, notepads etc. I got the 25l version but about to get the 18l for shorter trips. Watching the video showing all the pockets and features really helped me to decide which bag to get. Loads of pockets and spaces for specific items, yet not overwhelming somehow. Practical, stylish and really easy to carry, the corner handle a really nice feature. Highly recommend!
A
Great backpack! Use it everyday now
M
Great product, worth the money, would purchase again
L
I think this bag is great! I use it daily .It's great for travelling whether your walking, flying or anything in between. Great pockets, well made, secure. Super happy with the product.

Incredible backpack. Chosen for a decade (at least) of transporting life on my back. It's first job? Moving several well-known industry accolades to the House of Lords (Westminster) to display at an event. A 4-hour car/foot/train/taxi journey there and the same return adventure resulted in zero issues. Outstanding. While there was a lot of bubble-wrap - and a lot of weight - involved, the backpack was amazing. Balanced, comfortable and secure. I've not been a fan of sternum straps in the past, but the design used here is a game-changer - wow - did the straps make a huge difference to comfort and stability? (YES). A truly remarkable backpack and I'm looking forward to many future adventures with it. Well done mous.

Awesome

I love my Mous Protective Lid Backpack. It is really good quality, really well thought out and worth every penny.
D
Zippers a bit deformed, otherwise great product

Mous has thought of everything. Not only is this bag exceptionally well designed, but the team at Mous has engineered a refined solution to practically every challenge you could think of. What is more, the materials used are industry leading and very pleasing to the touch (and to the eye!). I couldn't speak more highly of this versatile, high quality, superbly-engineered backpack.
P
Wow! Love the backpack, excellent engineered and build quality only downside is the backpack weight but if the backpack going saved my laptop I’m willing to trade that for the protection. I can’t comment on how long the backpack will last as I only had the backpack for few weeks, I’m putting the backpack to the test as I’m travelling with the backpack to far east for 4 weeks.
Well done Mous you just gained another fan : )
S
My soon backpack for school !

Received this bag and am using it for work and travel, and it feels comfortable on the back. Since I live in Ireland where the weather shifts often, I am confident my laptop and other items stay dry. I appreciate the varied storage options. Overall, I am very pleased.
R
I can't love something that I have not received. It's been over a month and still no change in the tracking, no updates whatsoever. Absolutely terrible. It stated that I would receive my order within 6-12 days. Well, still nothing.
A
Bisher haltet der Rucksack echt gut keine gerissenen Nähte wie bei anderen.
Bin sehr zu frieden damit und kann ihn nur weiterempfehlen.
M
I have returned it unused because it didn't fit my needs
A
Super good quality backpack. I would recommend the bigger size though
A
A very practical and comfortable backpack. It has plenty of space, looks great, and is perfect for both travel and everyday use. I’m very happy with it!
D
The bag was very expensive to say the least. And so when there was a small defect after only a week, I have to say I was a little underwhelmed with the feedback saying it’s not a part of the bag itself so the “fix” of a $10 refund really caught me by surprise
A
Great !
A
I love the rigidity of the bag keeping it the same shape and size regardless of what i put inside
R
Outstanding quality and customer support.
S
+ : Looks great,inner pockets are well organised, rather solid-looking. Great for a two-day trip.
- : Very stiff and heavy. Side pockets are rather tight (back-of-my-hand-skin-scratching-tight), top pocket is also too tight, the top handle is too short and does not make it easy to grab the bag when it is standing. Inside back pocket not easy to close one-handed (the zipper is difficult to close round the "corners")
R
Very heavy. I usually carry my packs on one shoulder so the way the chest straps reconnect to each other is a bother. Eyeglass space is essentially useless
M
Really completewith perfect fit. Best backpack ever for daily work use.
P
Very pleased with purchase, impeccably designed and built. Use it from the minute I received it.
