Inside, the high-visibility ripstop nylon lining makes gear easy to find. A padded, loop-lined main compartment with 2 adjustable dividers keeps essentials organized and protected. A padded sleeve fits laptops/tablets up to 15", with 22 organizing compartments and slots for efficient organization.
Ergonomic comfort, travel-friendly features, and versatile storage for everyday adventures.
Soft ergonomic foam in the shoulder straps and ventilated back panel improves all-day comfort. A removable waist belt adds support for outdoor adventures and heavier loads, or detaches for streamlined commuting and travel. A built-in luggage handle pass-through makes airport travel easier.
The dual-hydration system supports up to 5 liters of water, with hose routing on either shoulder strap. An improved side bottle pocket uses 4-way stretch fabric to securely hold your bottle while staying compact when not in use.
Low-profile Hypalon MOLLE panels allow accessory attachment, while front loop-faced MOLLE-Air panels provide space for ID patches and additional organization.
Continuous improvement since 2011 makes the TRIDENT™ lighter, with durable construction and all-weather protection.
Built with ultra-durable CORDURA nylon and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, the TRIDENT-21™ maintains the strength and weather resistance you trust while reducing overall weight by over 10%. Premium YKK zippers and ITW/Duraflex hardware provide lasting durability.
Refined for smarter organization, improved comfort, and easier travel, the TRIDENT-21 combines the versatility of an outdoor daypack with the convenience of an everyday carry backpack, keeping you organized and prepared wherever the day takes you.
