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.

It was well worth the wait. Exceptional build quality coupled with high quality materials and an assortment of pockets/spaces to place things have made this no ordinary backpack. I look forward to using it on my upcoming holiday! Thank you Mous.

I'm a pro Camera guy and so will use this as an unobtrusive, but importantly, protective camera bag. Did purchase a separate protective divider cube insert to go inside it, so that it holds my gear in place and stops it from being crushed in the overhead bins on a plane... that's an add on that Mous could possibly offer too, perhaps along with your special Aerogel protection, that would be a winner, but otherwise, very happy with the bag.

Love it.
Can fit everything in.
Laptop, iPad and bag full of random cables and small tool bag.
Only downside.
Being in Australia ended up costing over $400 Australian.

Great product, amazing service

Product is great. Quality is very good. Beautiful design with great features. A little bit heavier than expected but still very light. Had some issues with the transport but they where able to assist me perfectly and went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend them to everyone.
