A weekend away and a working week rarely need the same bag, unless the bag expands. The Swiss Peak expandable weekend backpack increases its main compartment capacity by more than 35 percent, so it flexes from daily commute to short trip without a second piece of luggage.

The laptop compartment fits a 15.6 inch machine and is designed to open for quick and easy airport screening, which saves time at security. Side compression straps secure and stabilise the contents once packed, keeping the load close to the back rather than swinging. Smart organiser pockets separate chargers, cables and small essentials, and a luggage strap fixes the pack to a trolley handle. The fabric is RPET with the AWARE tracer validating genuine recycled material: each bag saves 22.9 litres of water and reuses 38.4 half-litre PET bottles, and the construction is PVC free. Two percent of the proceeds from each Impact product sold is donated to Water.org. Finished in black.

That combination makes it a natural fit for frequent-traveller audiences: field sales teams, auditors and consultants, airline and travel-sector clients, and corporate sustainability programmes that need measurable figures to publish alongside a gift.
