SOLD OUT & DISCONTINUED -  Check out the Drifter 4.0 Collection

Convertible. Modular. Carryon Approved. 

The 35L Drifter HD+ 3.0 is our top of the line model, a rugged travel backpack designed to maximize budget airlines’ smaller overhead compartment while also fitting below every airline seat*.

The bag quickly converts from “backpack mode” to “duffle/carryon mode” with the roll top designed to unroll and cover up the shoulder straps, resulting in a more manageable experience when traveling with multiple bags, such as a personal item backpack (28L Ambassador 2.0) and/or checked gear bags (surfboard, snowboard, golf, etc.).

The 35L Drifter HD+ 3.0 is the premium (“+”) variant of our heavy duty (HD) convertible carryon backpack and comes included with 11 modular components: 4x premium compression straps, 2x padded handles, 1x duffle strap, 1x chest strap, 1x waist strap set, 1x waterproof rain cover & 1x velcro divider

The “+” variant is an organizational beast, featuring 9 extra interior zippered stretch mesh compartments, a removable internal divider, a 2 way USB passthrough, upgraded compression straps with Trimmers® anodized aluminum tension hooks & upgraded anti-theft double coil zipper chain for the main two compartments.

Maximize your carryon allowance and skip the checked luggage carousel with SOVRN Republic travel backpacks.
