35L Drifter HD+ 3.0

SOLD OUT - Check back for the 35L Drifter HD 4.0 in the second half of 2023.

Convertible. Modular. Carryon Approved. Nicknamed our “Mobile Closet”, the 35L SOVRN 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 gear bag (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 removable premium compression straps, 2x removable padded handles, 1x removable messenger strap, 1x removable chest strap, 1x removable waist strap set, 1x removable waterproof rain cover & 1x removable 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 on budget airlines and skip the checked luggage carousel with SOVRN Republic travel backpacks.
