Ultralight Laptop Day Pack

At 12.8 oz. (363g), the Ultralight Laptop Day Pack from GBY is the lightest laptop backpack in the world with high-density foam shock protection. The Ultralight Laptop Day Pack is designed for the everyday professional who wants to take advantage of the performance characteristics of a featherweight pack.

Our day pack is an ultralight computer bag designed for real people — with zippers instead of flaps, clean and simple lines, padded ergonomic straps, and all the small details that provide the most efficient daily wear experience.

All of our favorite lightweight outdoor day bags have flimsy and insufficient laptop protection — and generally clumsy entry and retrieval. We love the spirit of ultralight, but we want something we can use everyday during work hours.

In response, we combined the impact protection of a heavy duty laptop backpack with the beautiful minimalism of an outdoor ultralight pack. Your $3k laptop will rest safe with our 360HD high-density foam protection. Our foam protection runs the entire length of the backpack with a reinforced bottom. This laptop bag fits all Apple MacBook Pro laptop computers up to 16".

Access to your important goods is optimized for daily use, not backpacking. Top zip entry is a breeze. We also designed a special outside zip pocket that can be accessed with removal of one strap for quick access at the train or airport. The inside 'mess' pocket is simple to use and easy to find with your hand as you reach in the top of the bag. This inside pocket is perfect for a laptop charger and small notebook.

The Ultralight Laptop Day Pack is also extremely water resistant. It starts with our special SS2-Ultra waterproof ripstop nylon, sourced from Japan for it’s smooth hand feel and ultralight strength. All internal seams are reinforced with purpose-selected lightweight binding.

What good is waterproof fabric if your zippers are not on the level? We install custom YKK water resistant zippers throughout; the finest available in the world.

What good is a great design without the commensurate quality? We stand behind our product. All of our products come with a 1-Year Warranty against construction defects.

  • 360HD IMPACT PROTECTION

    Full-sleeve high-density foam protection for your expensive laptop. 360HD also employs two layers of foam to protect the bottom corners of the laptop. Designed for the 15/16\" Apple MacBook Pro; also fits all Apple laptops up to 15\" manufactured after 2011, Microsoft Surface (all versions) and Apple iPad (all versions). If your device is not listed here, maximum laptop dimensions should not exceed 30 cm / 15 cm / 4 cm.

  • VERY WATER RESISTANT

    Our special SS2-Ultra waterproof fabric, sourced for it’s smooth hand feel, ultralight strength and waterproof qualities. In addition to its smooth finish and fine hand feel, it is remarkably strong and durable. We use the finest custom YKK water resistant zippers in the world.

  • ERGONOMIC FIT

    Our strap padding, spacing and shape are designed for comfortable and featherweight daily wear. You won’t believe the difference between the Ultralight Laptop Day Pack and your other daily use bags; it’s another planet of comfort and ease of use.

  • ULTRALIGHT OUTDOOR SPIRIT

    Not everyone is meant to make it to Everest basecamp or summit Mt. Whitney on two weeks of prep. Regardless, we should all be able to take advantage of great fabric technologies and an ultralight design that has direct lineage to hardcore outdoor minimalism. Backpackers know that weight matters and great design makes for happier days. You won’t believe what happens when you apply this same spirit to your everyday commute.

  • 1-YEAR WARRANTY

    All of our products are backed by a 1-year warranty against construction defects. Send us a pic of any issues and we will stitch repair or replace your bag, free of charge.

LOAD RATING

25 lbs

As a rough estimate, 25 lbs would be something like: 15/16\" Macbook Pro, Utility Pouch, laptop charger, iPhone, 8\" Moleskin notebook, Patagonia rain jacket, full bag of standard trail mix, passport, car keys, 12 oz (1 litre) water bottle.

PERFECT FOR

Minimalist

This pack is for the minimalist. Its ultralight construction forces you to be lean. Perfect for travel and everyday use. Stop packing extra junk and stick with the essentials. Simple gear makes people happy. Bulky and complicated gear does not.

Futurist

Ultralight is the future. The world is filled with over-engineered and bulky gear. Containers are meant to be filled. The heavier the container, the more stuff we feel compelled to fill it with. In the modern world of material excess, the forward thinker understands that we just don\'t need so much junk. The future is getting leaner, more efficient, and more productive.

Stylebender

As apparel technology has jumped by leaps and bounds, the popular modern aesthetic has become more seamless, grey, elite and just downright boring. Our GBY Ultralight customers are on the grind each day — following a lineage infused with the vintage spirit of adventure and an individualism that is found in outdoor climbing, punk music, fishing, technical engineering, welding, surfing, skating, music and woodworking. GBY Ultralight is a response to the new european modern aesthetic that tends to remove the raw edge from everyday gear. This pack is the opposite of athleisure. GBY Ultralight keeps it raw and real; and we want to see how you integrate our gear into your everyday style.
