How the Minato Premium Backpack Expansion Works
Minato Premium is designed to adapt to your day - whether you're heading to work, into the city, or away for the weekend. Thanks to its smart expandable-volume system, you can change the backpack's size in just a few seconds to suit your current needs.
Three Sizes, One Backpack
- 20 L - Compact mode: Ideal for everyday carry. The top section is rolled down and secured with a Fidlock® magnetic buckle. The backpack is slim, elegant, and holds its shape well.
- 30 L - Medium mode: Simply roll up the top section and fasten it with the buckles. You'll have more space for a sweatshirt, laptop, or gear for the whole day.
- 40 L - Fully expanded mode: The top section unfolds completely and the side compression straps are loosened. At that point, your city backpack becomes a full-sized backpack for weekends or travel.
How to Expand the Backpack
- Unfasten the top Fidlock® magnetic buckles.
- Unroll the roll-top section upward - the fabric is soft and flexible, so it unfolds effortlessly.
- Loosen the side compression straps - this frees up space for the top section to expand fully.
- Fill the backpack as needed - the construction and internal reinforcements ensure that it remains stable even when expanded.
- Once filled, roll the top section down again and secure it with the buckle in the new position.
In this simple way, Minato Premium adapts to the rhythm of your day. Whether it's an ordinary day in the city or a weekend adventure, the backpack remains functional, organized, and stylish.
Technology and Materials
Every Minato Premium backpack is handmade in the Czech Republic from CORDURA® 1000D material. This technical material is known for its high resistance to abrasion, water, and UV radiation. The C0 DWR finish repels water without using harmful fluorocarbons.
Thanks to these technologies, the backpack stays dry even in the rain, retains its shape when fully loaded, and lasts much longer than standard backpacks made from ordinary textiles.
Why Minato Premium Stands Out
- ✅ 3 sizes in one backpack - a flexible solution for every day
- ✅ Fidlock® magnetic closure - easy and secure one-handed operation
- ✅ Handmade in the Czech Republic - every piece undergoes careful quality inspection
- ✅ Eco-friendly materials - CORDURA® 1000D
- ✅ Thoughtful design - a minimalist look, smart organization, and a sturdy construction
Tip for Everyday Use
For city use, keep the backpack in 20 L mode - it will be lightweight, elegant, and compact. If you know you'll have a longer day or a trip ahead, expand it to 30 L. For weekends or travel, make full use of its full 40 L capacity.
Thanks to the smart system of buckles and zippers, the backpack adapts without losing its shape and maintains a stable form in every configuration.
