Built To Survive A Lifetime: The Wingback Everyday Pack v2

The quest for the ultimate everyday carry backpack is an ongoing, passionate obsession for us here at The Coolector. We are perpetually hunting for that elusive sweet spot where uncompromising technical performance perfectly collides with refined, urban-ready aesthetics.

Bringing a definitive, highly satisfying halt to that relentless search is a spectacular new release from a London-based design team that has spent the last four years obsessively perfecting their craft.

The Wingback Everyday Pack v2 is a masterful piece of technical luggage engineered to handle the daily urban commute just as effortlessly as your most punishing backcountry adventures.

Currently available to back on Kickstarter from £275, this is a phenomenal piece of gear explicitly built to outlast you.

Materials Stronger Than Steel

When you are investing in a premium everyday carry companion, the raw materials need to be absolutely top-tier. Wingback has pulled zero punches in this department, utilizing the highest performing fabrics currently available on the market.

The exterior shell is constructed from a robust, three-layer recycled waterproof Cordura—specifically, EPLX600 re/cor™—which boasts a subtle 45-degree CrossPly for exceptional, long-lasting wear resistance. It is impressively waterproof up to 200psi and treated with a PFC-free DWR coating to easily shrug off torrential downpours.

However, the real engineering magic happens inside the highly versatile 21L main cavity. The interior is lined with a cutting-edge Nylon UltraGrid™ rip-stop fabric that is heavily reinforced with a proprietary yarn astonishingly rated at 15 times stronger than steel by weight.

Combine this fluorocarbon-free super-fabric with heavy-duty hydrophobic thread, closed-cell foam protection, and strategic bar-tack stitching at high-wear points, and you are looking at category-leading abrasion resistance in a pack that will genuinely age better than you do.

Revolutionary Titanium Hardware

A premium technical backpack is only as strong as its weakest closure, which is why Wingback offers two spectacular, ultra-rugged hardware options for this campaign.

Traditionalists can opt for the legendary, virtually indestructible COBRA® hardware from AUSTRIALPIN®, which has long been the gold standard in premium tactical luggage.

For those seeking something entirely revolutionary, the brand is proudly debuting their in-house developed SOLIDSTATE™ components.

Designed in their London studio by an ex-Dyson engineer, these first-of-their-kind mechanisms are precision wire-cut from a single solid block of titanium using a highly technical process called electro-discharge machining.

This creates a flexible yet incredibly robust single-piece component that completely eliminates the need for failure-prone springs or moving parts.

Paired with signature knurled titanium pullers, vegetable-tanned leather accents, and YKK heavy-duty racquet coil zippers, the tactile experience of opening and closing this bag is completely unmatched.

Ultimate Organisation & An Ironclad Guarantee

Despite its rugged, bomb-proof exterior, the internal layout of the Wingback Everyday Pack v2 is a highly refined organizer’s dream.

Weighing in at a manageable 1350g, the bag features a full clamshell opening that provides completely unobstructed access to the main compartment, revealing a meticulously planned network of 11 distinct pockets.

A suspended, floating laptop sleeve keeps your critical tech perfectly safe from hard drops, while an internal water bottle sleeve prevents unsightly exterior snagging.

A quick-access top pocket and cleverly integrated front pockets give you rapid, on-the-go retrieval of your everyday essentials. Furthermore, a stiffened rear panel provides excellent impact resistance and features a luggage handle pass-through for seamless international transit.

Expertly assembled by one of the world’s leading technical luggage manufacturers in Vietnam, every single detail has been field-tested to absolute perfection. Wingback is so confident in their rigorous prototyping that they cover this pack with a comprehensive lifetime guarantee, ensuring it remains your go-to vessel for decades to come.
