      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 bags.

      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
      • 100% Polyester (100% recycled), 150 x 150 Denier
      • 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)
      • Inside: YKK Natulon® coil zippers (partly recycled)
      • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
      Buckles
      • Recycled plastic (black version), sourced from bluesign® System Partner
      • Durable aluminium hook for roll top closure

      Does the sand colour get dirty easily?
      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)

      How should I clean the WayksOne?
      We recommend hand wash only. If necessary use gentle soap and brush. Dry well. (read more)

      Praktisch

      Sehr gute Tasche das einzige was ich bemängel ist der Gurt. Er vergrößert sich mit der Zeit von selbst weshalb man ihn regelmäßig wieder nachspannen muss und die schnalle ist sehr unangenehm da sie nicht gepolstert ist

      Wouldnt buy it again

      I was very excited about the modular bag, but first they sent it to me with the wrong straps (and they fixed it and sent me a replacement) but I still had to carry the bag my whole trip with the wrong straps which made the bag super uncomfortable. And anyways if I ignore the whole strap situation the inner lining stated ripping after only 2 days of using… so can’t say much about the quality.

      Hi Marianela, I am so sorry that the lining of your Sling has a damage. This has not happened before and sounds like a manufacturing or material fault to me, for which we of course take responsibility. I will send you an email now and it would be great if you could reply to it with some photos of the issue and your current shipping address, so we can rectify this issue promptly. Thank you! Fabian

      I have been dreaming of owning the Wayks Sling Combo for a while now and at Christmas I became the proud owner of one and it did not disappoint.
      A beautiful, versatile bag, just what I have been looking for.
      I am hoping to purchase the Travel Pack Original in the near future.
      Thank you so much Wayks for these Beautiful, thoughtful and versatile bags, just what I have been looking for x

      Amazing experience!

      Fantastic product, in terms of quality and design. The shopping experience is also very agile and easy for the user, and as a product designer, I really value this. Very happy with my WAYKS!

      Love the multifunction of the bag

      The bag is great, I love when a bag has many pockets and can multiple things at ones, this bag can be three at ones! It is great. The only very small thing, is that the zipper on the attachable bag can’t be hidden very well, but otherwise it is amazing!

      Super!

      This bag looks nice and is versatile and multifunctional. I’m very satisfied with the quality. The price is not low, but it’s reasonable for those advantages.

      Love it!

      Die Sling ist ein wahres Platzwunder, verstaut mühelos einen 15" Laptop und zusätzlich noch drei Bücher und hat dann immer noch Platz. Und gleichzeitig trägt er sich als Rucksack auch noch sehr bequem und schneidet nicht ein.
      Durch das glatte Material der Träger verschiebt sich zwar manchmal die Länge der Träger, aber durch das glatte Material lässt sich die Trägerlänge auch sehr leicht und schnell wieder anpassen.
      Der Reißverschluss hinten ist perfekt, um ans Protemonnaie zu kommen, ohne gleich den ganzen Rucksack oben aufzumachen und alles bis nach unten durchwühlen zu müssen. Außerdem ist es ein besseres Sicherheitsgefühl, da das Protemonnaie so an einer Stelle liegt, an die Taschendiebe nicht so einfach unterwegs ran kommen.
      Was mich etwas enttäuscht, ist das Reißverschlussfach vorne. Es ist für meine Zwecke viel zu klein. Mein Sonnenbrille (wie es glaube ich auf der Website beworben wird) passt z. B. nicht rein. Ich nutze es daher momentan nur für eine Packung Taschentücher, was irgendwie eine Verschwendung der kuschelweichen Taschenfütterung ist...
      Also ich war bei der Bestellung echt etwas spektisch, bereue den Kauf aber auf keinen Fall und würde die Sling immer wieder kaufen und 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

      Julia from Hamburg, Germany, about her WayksOne

      (translated) I wanted to tell you how amazing I find the design, functionality and ability of the backpack on the one hand, and of course how cool it is to get an insight into your production, the products you use for manufacturing and your employees . I've rarely been so excited about a brand!

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