Mission Workshop Redefines The Travel Bag

Posted in Commentary with tags on March 21, 2019 by itnerd

Searching for the perfect travel bag isn’t the easiest thing to do these days. Lucky Mission Workshop has created some of the most innovative travel bags the world has ever seen.

The Radian Travel Pack

The Radian can either be carried onboard or checked for airline travel. Its dimensions are within the carry-on guidelines for many airlines and its shoulder straps can be concealed with a hidden zippered panel when being checked. Although The Radian has a clean minimalist silhouette that blends perfectly with the cityscape, it is extremely durable and weatherproof allowing it to excel in rugged backcountry and off the beaten path travel destinations. It was specifically designed without large exterior branding elements, bright colors, or a lot of exterior straps for a low-key look that doesn’t scream “tourist”.

  • Adjustable-height shoulder strap and harness system to fit varied body types
  • Two optional/removable waist belt options (low profile and heavy load)
  • Incorporates Mission Workshop’s “floating liner”
  • Weatherproof construction
  • Constructed with Mission Workshop’s advanced HT500 textile
  • Arkiv six rail attachment system for the addition of front and side accessories
  • MSRP: $585

The Transit Arkiv Laptop Brief

The Mission Workshop Transit Arkiv is a weatherproof laptop briefcase perfect for work and travel. The smallest in our Transit series, it is ideal as a daily briefcase or combined with our Radian, R2, R6, or R8 packs as a complete travel system.

Organizational features include a dedicated fully padded laptop compartment, internal file organizer, mesh zip pocket, endcap water bottle pocket, and quick-access external zippered pocket for phone, wallet or keys.

  • Modularly attach to our Radian, R2, R6, or R8 Arkiv backpacks
  • Compatible with Porteur-style front bicycle racks
  • Removable shoulder and waist-stabilization straps
  • Luggage handle pass through
  • Hide-away grab handles
  • MSRP: $235

The Spar Sling Pack

The Spar is available in either ultralight VX-07 diamond ripstop from Dimension Polyant or 500D Multicam® Cordura® black camo. Our 500D Multicam fabric is very durable with a refined handfeel and matte finish, while VX-07 is one of the most advanced textiles in the world with virtually unmatched abrasion and tear resistance per gram weight.

  • The Spar is Arkiv®-system compatible and can be combined with an R2/R6/R8 or Radian pack to create a versatile travel system
  • Available in three colors of lightweight and extremely durable Dimension Polyant VX-07 diamond ripstop or black camo Multicam Cordura
  • YKK weatherproof zippers
  • Weatherproof main compartment that can be configured as flap down or roll top

The Axis: VX improves upon Mission Workshop’s weatherproof waist pack with a new main body constructed from Dimension Polyant VX-21 fabric and an upgraded one-handed magnetic buckle.

Introduced in 2018, the Axis has proven to be a popular platform for cyclist and travelers. The Axis VX carries over the compact size and ultra-thin wait belt, along with the Arkiv-compatible construction, allowing the Axis to be attached to larger packs with the waist belt stowed for travel.

Equally at home on the dirt or in the streets, the minimal silhouette is free from adornments to snag on clothing or trailside obstacles, while the 2.5L volume is optimal for carrying everyday essentials. The Axis VX stands out amongst waist packs with Arkiv compatibility allowing it to piggyback on larger Mission Workshop packs with Arkiv Rails, making it an ideal travel companion for adventures on two wheels or afoot.

The upgrade to rugged, weatherproof VX-21 fabric removes weight from the pack while simultaneously adding durability. Additionally, the Axis VX features a Fidlock magnetic buckle, which allows for easy one-handed removal.

Made by hand in small batches in the USA. Built to endure. Guaranteed Forever
