What is ECOPAK sailcloth?

ECOPAK EPX200 is a 100% recycled laminated sailcloth originally engineered for ocean-racing sails. It is inherently waterproof through a bonded film layer, blocks 97%+ UV, and absorbs 80% less moisture than nylon.

How is the Vanta 22 EPX different from the Vanta 22 Robic?

Same 22L layout and 11-pocket design, different fabric. The EPX uses recycled ECOPAK sailcloth (lighter, inherently waterproof) while the Robic uses recycled Korean Robic nylon (military-grade, tear-resistant). The EPX is a limited edition.

What size laptop fits in the Vanta 22 EPX?

The padded laptop sleeve fits laptops up to 16 inches, including the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Is the Vanta 22 EPX waterproof?

Yes. The ECOPAK sailcloth exterior is inherently waterproof through its bonded film construction — no coating needed. Coated YKK zippers throughout provide additional weather sealing.

What is your return policy?

Free shipping, free returns, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not the best backpack you've ever owned, send it back — no questions asked.

Limited Edition

One pack.
Zero compromise.

We didn't just swap the fabric — we rebuilt the Vanta 22 from the ground up in ECOPAK™ EPX200, a 100% recycled sailcloth that's lighter, tougher, and fully weatherproof. This is what happens when performance meets purpose.

★★★★★

"I've gone through a ton of backpacks over the years for daily carry and commuting, and the Vanta 22 has easily become my favorite. The materials feel top notch, stitching is clean, zippers are smooth, and the layout just makes sense. The wing front quick access pockets are way more useful than I expected. I grab my keys, wallet, and earbuds without even opening the main compartment."

— Alex M. ✓ Verified Buyer

★★★★★

"I was on the fence for a while but glad I pulled the trigger. This backpack is super well built and feels premium right out of the box. The wing access system is honestly my favorite part now. Didn't think I'd use it much but I do all the time."

— Ben R. ✓ Verified

★★★★★

"Everything from the pocket layout to the materials feels thought through. It's comfortable for daily commuting and doesn't look tactical or flashy at all. If you're debating it, I'd say go for it. I already stopped looking at other EDC bags."

— Daniel L. ✓ Verified

★★★★★

"This bag has replaced all my other daily bags. The shoulder straps and back panel make it comfortable to carry all day, even when it's packed out. The build quality is just insane."

— Jeffrey Q. ✓ Verified

★★★★★

"Took this as my personal item on a recent trip. The luggage pass-through is a lifesaver. Slid right over my roller bag handle. Made navigating the airport a breeze."

— Daniel T. ✓ Verified

★★★★★

"Absolutely in love with the minimal design. It's professional enough for my office, but doesn't look out of place on the weekend. The clamshell opening makes it so easy to pack and see everything at once."

Full Breakdown

Everything the original has.
Nothing left behind.

Dual RFID-protected tech pouches give you instant access to your transit pass, phone, and essentials — without ever opening the main compartment. Tap and go, zero slowdowns.

Full-zip main compartment opens flat like a suitcase. See everything inside at a glance, grab anything without digging.

Cushioned, floating sleeve fits up to 16" laptops. Your device stays suspended off the bottom of the pack, absorbing impact from every angle.

Attach pouches, tools, or the magnetic strap system (sold separately) to the front panel. MOLLE webbing plus a large hook-and-loop area lets your pack adapt to any mission.

Weather-sealed coated YKK zippers throughout the entire pack. Rain doesn't get a vote.

Both vertical and horizontal pass-through channels. Slides onto any roller suitcase handle for seamless hands-free airport carry.

Customizable load support attachment points for longer hauls. Clip on when you need it, remove when you don't. Your carry, your rules.

Breathable mesh with ergonomic padding keeps air flowing against your back. All-day comfort even when the pack is fully loaded.

Why EPX200

Same carry system.
Next-gen fabric.
