What do you mean by ‘official team backpack’?
Great question! This is an official licensed product. When the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team approached Mous to design a team backpack, we knew it had to meet the demands of a relentless motorsport environment – more pockets, less weight and built for performance.
Working closely with engineers, mechanics and marketers at the team’s Brackley HQ, we developed this backpack from the ground up. The result? The official team backpack of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team – the same one used by George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and the rest of the team.
How well does this backpack protect my tech?
The Optimal backpack is built for serious protection. Its AiroFoam® impact-absorbing technology shields laptops and tablets from drops of up to 1.2 meters. 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.
What’s the difference between this backpack and your Extreme Commuter range?
The Optimal backpack refines the best elements of our Extreme Commuter range while reducing weight, enhancing performance and maximising storage. Both offer tech protection, durability and weather resistance, but they differ in design, materials and organisational capacity.
“I'm a big fan of Mous, I have their backpack, cases and accessories and they are all just amazing. The attention to details, functionality and durability to me is what Mous stands for.”Reviews by Judge.Me
Backpack is very good, pretty much exactly what I expected. Only issue I had were taxes: given that the item ships from UK to EU, I ended up paying around 30% extra at customs. I'd love to buy more stuff from Mous, quality is very nice, but unless they start distributing from within the EU, I'll probably only consider buying from them when I find something unique in their store.

I like the fact that the backpack doesn't sag with stuff in it.
The backpack differs somewhat from the one in the video. For example, the front pocket doesn't zip open all the way as show in the video to put clothing in.
