How does this backpack differ from the Mous x Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Backpack?This backpack offers the same high-performance design, durable materials and optimised organization as the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team variant it just does not feature Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team branding like the ultra teal trims and logo.

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 og 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 retains the best elements of our Extreme Commuter range while reducing weight and maximising storage. Both offer tech protection, durability and weather resistance, but they differ in design, materials and organisational capacity.
