Product Overview
The Quadra Active Outdoor 30 Litre Backpack is a high-specification solution for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, organised, and technically proficient carry-all. With a generous 30-litre capacity, this backpack is designed to handle longer journeys and more demanding tasks. It is constructed from premium Cordura and ripstop polyester, offering a level of durability that withstands the rigours of site visits, field work, or technical treks. The design prioritises both the security of your equipment and the comfort of the wearer, ensuring that even when fully loaded, the bag remains stable and ergonomic.
Key Features
- Cordura Fabric Construction: The use of Cordura and ripstop polyester provides exceptional resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs, ensuring the bag lasts through years of heavy use.
- Hydration System Compatibility: Being hydration-bladder compatible allows for convenient water access on the move, essential for maintaining peak performance during long days outdoors.
- Integrated Rain Cover: The included 190T polyester high-visibility rain cover provides immediate protection for your contents during sudden downpours, while increasing your visibility in poor light.
- Ergonomic Support System: Padded air mesh back panels and shoulder straps facilitate airflow and distribute weight evenly, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
- Secure Storage Options: Features a dedicated zipped valuables pocket, elasticated side pockets, and a padded laptop sleeve to keep your technical equipment safe and organised.
Design & Performance
Engineered for performance, this backpack utilizes a combination of 100% recycled 300D ripstop and 500D polyester. The fabric is treated with a PFAS-free water-repellent coating, ensuring that moisture beads off the surface without the use of harmful chemicals. This focus on sustainability is further reinforced by its GRS-certification, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing technical capability.
In terms of handling, the dual side compression straps allow you to secure the internal load, preventing shifting and improving balance. The inclusion of multipurpose attachment loops and trekking pole points further enhances its utility for those navigating varied terrain. Despite its substantial and sturdy feel, the bag is designed to be agile, measuring 30 x 54 x 22cm to provide maximum storage while remaining within a manageable profile.
Why No Customisation?
This backpack is provided as-is without customisation to ensure that its technical integrity remains uncompromised. The specialised Cordura and ripstop fabrics, along with the integrated water-repellent coatings, are designed to perform in specific ways. Standard embroidery or heat transfer processes could potentially puncture the water-resistant barrier or weaken the high-tensile fibres, affecting the bag’s overall durability and weather protection. We provide this as a high-performance technical tool that is ready for immediate deployment.
Use Cases
This backpack is ideally suited for outdoor professionals, engineers, and site managers who need to transport a mix of technical gear, laptops, and personal essentials across diverse environments. It is equally at home on a demanding hike as it is on a cross-country site visit, offering the versatility required for those who work both in and out of the office.

Practical Advice
To get the most out of your 30-litre backpack, we recommend utilising the adjustable air mesh shoulder straps to ensure the weight sits high and close to your back. This minimises strain on your lumbar region. If you are travelling in wet conditions, we suggest deploying the integrated rain cover early; it is much easier to keep the bag dry than it is to dry it out once the fabric has been saturated.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your backpack, adhering to the specific care instructions is essential for preserving the fabric's technical properties.
Sponge clean only: You should never machine wash this backpack. Submerging it or subjecting it to the agitation of a washing machine can strip away the PFAS-free water-repellent coating and damage the structural integrity of the Cordura fibres. Instead, use a damp sponge with mild soap to remove surface dirt and stains. This ensures that the protective barrier remains effective against the elements.
Always allow the bag to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Excessive heat from radiators or tumble dryers can cause the recycled polyester fibres to become brittle and may warp the padding in the shoulder straps and back panel. By following these simple steps, you ensure your equipment remains in peak condition for the long term.
