Product Overview
The Quadra QD512 Active outdoor 25 litre daypack is a substantial solution for professionals who require a blend of technical performance and environmental responsibility. Built to withstand the rigours of both urban commuting and outdoor fieldwork, this bag is constructed from high-tenacity Cordura polyester. Its 25-litre capacity is expertly managed through a series of dedicated compartments, including a padded section for modern hardware and internal mesh storage for smaller essentials. Every aspect of this daypack has been engineered for durability, utilising GRS-certified recycled materials to ensure your gear is protected without compromising on sustainability.
Key Features
- Cordura Polyester Fabric: Known for its exceptional resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs, this fabric ensures the daypack remains intact even in demanding environments.
- Padded Laptop Compartment: Designed to accommodate laptops up to 16 inches, the dedicated rear padding provides a secure buffer against impact during transit.
- Integrated High-Visibility Rain Cover: Stored within the bag, the 190T polyester cover provides immediate protection for your equipment during sudden downpours, with the added benefit of increased visibility.
- Hydration Bladder Compatibility: For those working long days in the field, the internal housing for a hydration bladder offers convenient access to water without needing to stop and unpack.
- Ergonomic Support: The padded air mesh back panel and adjustable shoulder straps are designed to distribute weight evenly and promote airflow, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
Design & Performance
The performance of the QD512 lies in its sophisticated material composition. The use of 300D ripstop polyester combined with 500D polyester creates a resilient outer shell that resists the spread of any accidental punctures. This is further enhanced by a PFAS-free water-repellent coating, which allows moisture to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking into the fibres. The interior is equally well-considered, featuring elasticated side pockets for quick-access items and compression straps that allow you to stabilise the load, preventing the contents from shifting while you are on the move. The inclusion of multipurpose attachment loops further extends the utility of the bag for carrying external tools or equipment.
Why No Customisation?
We supply this technical daypack as a non-customised item to protect the integrity of its specialized construction. The fabric is treated with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish, and the internal compartments feature protective padding and mesh linings. Standard customisation processes, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, could potentially puncture the weather-resistant membrane or damage the internal laptop padding. To ensure the bag performs exactly as intended in wet conditions, we provide it in its original, high-performance state.
Use Cases
This daypack is ideally suited for field engineers, surveyors, and professionals who frequently transition between office environments and outdoor sites. Its discreet aesthetic also makes it an excellent choice for daily commuting, providing ample space for both technical equipment and personal belongings. Its hydration compatibility and rugged construction also lend it to weekend trekking or outdoor pursuits.

Practical Advice
With dimensions of 31 x 50 x 17cm, this daypack is sized to meet most standard carry-on requirements, but we always recommend checking with your specific travel provider. To make the most of the ergonomic design, ensure the compression straps are tightened when the bag is not at full capacity; this keeps the weight closer to your back and improves comfort. When using the hydration bladder feature, ensure the tube is correctly routed through the designated port to prevent any kinking.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your daypack is straightforward but requires adherence to specific care guidelines. This product is sponge clean only. You should never attempt to machine wash or tumble dry the bag, as the mechanical action and heat will degrade the water-repellent coating and could compromise the structural integrity of the ripstop polyester.
To remove dirt or stains, use a soft sponge with lukewarm water and a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemical agents can break down the recycled polyester fibres and neutralise the water-repellent finish. After cleaning, allow the bag to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to become brittle.
