Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade polyester with a substantial matt-look PU coating, this backpack is built for durability and longevity. The fabric is entirely PVC-free, reflecting a commitment to more responsible manufacturing processes without sacrificing the material's structural integrity. The interior is lined with 100% recycled polyester, providing a smooth, snag-free surface for your belongings.
In terms of performance, the Athlux is designed to handle the rigours of daily use. The substantial weight of the fabric gives the bag a sturdy, premium feel that retains its shape even when partially empty. The addition of elasticated mesh side pockets allows for quick access to water bottles or umbrellas, while the front pocket features a water-resistant zip to protect smaller essentials like keys and smartphones.
Why No Customisation?
We supply this specific Bagbase product without customisation to preserve the technical integrity of the materials. The specialized matt PU coating that provides the bag's water-resistant properties can be compromised by the high-heat application of vinyl prints or the needle penetrations required for embroidery. To ensure you receive the full benefit of the manufacturer's weather-protection design, we offer this item as-is.
Use Cases
This backpack is perfectly suited for the modern urban commuter or university student who requires a reliable, professional-looking vessel for their tech and daily essentials. It is equally at home in a gym environment, where the minimalist design blends into an active lifestyle, or as a sophisticated day bag for city-based business travel.

Practical Advice
The Athlux is a 'one size' product designed to fit most adults comfortably via its adjustable straps. When loading the bag, we recommend placing your heaviest items, such as your laptop, in the internal sleeve closest to your back. This helps maintain your centre of gravity and ensures the padding provides the maximum level of comfort against your spine.
Caring for your product
To maintain the aesthetic and functional properties of the PU coating, this backpack should be sponge cleaned only. Machine washing or submerging the bag can damage the water-resistant layer and lead to the degradation of the internal padding and lining.
Should the bag become soiled, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently lift marks. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can strip the matt finish and cause discolouration. Always allow the backpack to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the synthetic materials to become brittle or warp.
