Travel Backpack Original, Compact

The majority of our materials are made from recycled PET bottles. We use a PFC-free, environmentally friendly water-repellency coating on our fabrics. 

The difference between our fabrics is mainly in the look and feel. Our first fabric (Black and Sand variants) has a rather natural, canvas-like look. It feels thinner.

In the Sleek Black variant, the fabric has a smooth look. It feels a little thicker and rubbery.

The Sleek Black is a little easier to clean due to its smooth texture and water rolls off more easily - on the other hand, it is more prone to superficial scratches and dents or cuts, which remain visible in the long term on such smooth fabrics.

As far as protecting the contents of the backpack from moisture is concerned, there is no difference between the two versions, as both fabrics are waterproof. It is always important to remember that after prolonged exposure to heavy rain, moisture can seep through the seams and zips of backpacks. Therefore, we recommend using the Rain & Luggage Cover in such cases.

Main Fabric

  • 100% Polyester (91% recycled, 100% for the Sleek Black version)
  • 600 x 600 Denier
  • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner

Lining

  • Day Pack: 100% Polyester (100% recycled), 150 x 150 Denier
  • Cube: 100% Nylon
  • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner

Zippers

  • Outside: Durable YKK Natulon® luggage coil zippers (partly recycled)
  • Outside: Weatherproof PU coating on back pockets to protect valuables
  • Inside: YKK Natulon® coil zippers (partly recycled)
  • Cube attachment: Sturdy YKK VISLON® zipper
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
Buckles
  • Recycled plastic (black version), sourced from bluesign® System Partner
  • Durable aluminium hook for roll top closure

No, it does not stain easily, however, dark stains are more visible than on the black version. Good to clean. Fine for everyday use. Attach rain cover when exposed to heavy rain, dirt, oil or dust. (read more)

Solider Reiserucksack, der auch noch gut aussieht

Schöner Rucksack, der extrem gut durchdacht ist und dadurch viele Verwendungsmöglichkeiten birgt. Das geht leider damit einher, dass der Rucksack ein relativ hohes Eigengewicht hat. Die „abgespeckte“ Version, also ohne das Tragesystem und die Box unten, ist relativ groß und schwer. Dadurch ist er als Tagesrucksack mit wenig Gepäck für mich nicht so gut geeignet.
Als Reiserucksack ist er jedoch großartig, vor allem der externe Zugriff auf das Laptopfach und der große Reißverschluss sind super praktisch. Das anpassbare Tragesystem macht ihn zu einem vollwertigen Reisegepäck, ohne den „Oitdoor-Look“. Die Verabeitung wirkt auch sehr hochwertig, so dass ich denke, dass der Rucksack mir lange Greude machen wird.

Very good

Great product and very practical. If the stripes for the casual daily backpack were thicker it would make it even more convenient.

I am very happy I have bought the whole set.

Long search - best find!

I really dedicated quite a bit of time into finding the right backpack for me and I’m pretty sure I found the perfect one!

My favorite things about it:
⭐️ Zipper that opens the entire back. Seriously! I use it daily and have been approached about it by several people
⭐️ Expandability. I love how much volume the backpack itself already has and being able to add several things to expand even more!
⭐️ Bottom pouch for shoes. I almost always travel with a pair of running shoes so it’s great to have an extra compartment.

Things to consider:
🌱 I think the backpack itself is already quite heavy (but in return also very durable)
🌱 The small zippers on the side and top can’t be accessed well if the backpack is full

Zuverlässiger Wegbegleiter

Zugegebenermaßen war der Travel Backpack mein erster Rucksack, der mit Gebrauchsanweisung kam und die habe ich auch erst einmal gebraucht, da es so viele verschiedene Einstell- und Trageoptionen gibt (insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Sling Combo und dem Mat Strap, so wie ich ihn bestellt habe). Nach ein paar Minuten Basteln und Justieren hat man aber den Dreh raus und weiß die vielen Funktionen sehr zu schätzen.
Er hat ein für mich optimales Fassungsvermögen und kann dabei sehr kompakt "zusammengeschnürt" werden. Als Handgepäck auf Flügen ist er dadurch auch geeignet. Außerdem finde ich ihn bei all den praktischen Funktionen ziemlich hübsch. Der Preis ist meiner Ansicht nach mehr als gerechtfertigt, auch weil die Materialien sehr robust und langlebig wirken und er so hoffentlich noch ewig hält.
Ist für mich unverzichtbar bei meinen Städtetrips geworden, war jetzt schon mehrfach in allen möglichen Variationen im Einsatz und sieht fast aus wie neu. Ich kann Wayks nur weiterempfehlen.

What Our Customers Say

Ich habe mich sehr gut über euer Produkt informiert und bin trotzdem von vielen Details überrascht. Ich kann nicht glauben, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesem Rucksack steckt! Ich möchte meinen größten Respekt für so ein durchdachtes Produkt zeigen. Ich studiere Kommunikationsdesign und weiß wie viel Arbeit in den manchmal unscheinbarsten Dingen steckt, die sich jemand überlegt und die dann einfach intuitiv für möglichst viele Leute funktionieren sollen. Deshalb bin ich umso beeindruckter von dem, was ihr mit dem Wayks One geschaffen habt.

Hanna from Würzburg, Germany, about her WayksOne

I wanted to leave you this positive feedback because I can only imagine how much effort, work and passion there is behind your project.
