How does the Navigator RS Pack 15L compare to the Navigator Pack 15L?

The RS Pack offers the same expandable design, laptop and tablet storage, and smart organization—but in a lighter, more casual build made with coated ripstop nylon. It’s a great option for everyday use and travel at a more accessible price point, while still delivering Nomatic’s signature function and design.

Is the Navigator RS Pack 15L still durable and feature-rich?

Yes. It’s made from water-resistant 420D ripstop nylon, features tamper-resistant zippers, and fits up to a 16” laptop. And like all Nomatic products, it’s backed by a lifetime warranty—just in case anything happens (not that we expect it to).

Great for Work
Comfortable and stylish backpack. I carry a laptop, umbrella, and other geap to and from work. I had a messenger bag that caused shoulder pain. With this bag, I have less shoulder pain.
