Lightweight Backpack Design from Troubadour Now Available, Ideal for Urban Travel
Troubadour, a renowned brand known for its high-quality bags, has launched a new addition to its lineup – the Neo backpack. This lightweight and affordable backpack is designed for those who are always on the move, whether it's for weekday commutes or weekend adventures.
Key Features of the Troubadour Neo Backpack
The Neo backpack boasts a waterproof fluorocarbon-free coating, making it resistant to spills. Weighing just 2.69 pounds with a 22L capacity, it is Troubadour's lightest backpack design to date. The responsive, stretchy shoulder strap system, along with an adjustable minimalist chest strap, ensures superior comfort and stability.
Inside, the lining is lighter, and the layout is smart, making it easy to keep everything visible and organized. The Neo backpack features a CrashPad Cocoon sleeve that keeps the laptop cushioned and suspended for maximum protection. An integrated luggage sleeve is included for travel convenience, and a discreet magnetic front pocket provides quick access to essentials.
The front panel of the Neo backpack opens up into extra storage, and a molded front compartment is perfect for organizing cables, chargers, and notepads. The shoulder strap is stretchy and contours to the body, providing added support.
Comparing the Neo to the Apex Line
In comparison to Troubadour’s premium Apex line, the Neo is the brand’s most affordable backpack, priced at approximately $179 (£179 or about $240 in some regions). While the Apex line is known for premium materials and a focus on luxury and durability, the Neo aims to deliver lightweight functionality and versatility for everyday carry without sacrificing essential features like tech protection and ergonomic comfort.
