Liquids and electronics don’t usually mix, as anyone who’s ever spilled coffee on their laptop will know only too well. But Mission Workshop’s Speedwell is a versatile hydration-compatible waterproof laptop backpack that covers all the bases. Ultra-strong fabrics in a range of colourways offer protection and durability however tough your day gets – including VX versions made from VX-21, an advanced textile with virtually unmatched abrasion, tear, and weather resistance per gram weight. The main cargo space has 20 litres of storage, including a padded and zippered waterproof laptop compartment that fits up to 16" MacBooks. Meanwhile, water storage is provided by dual exterior water bottle holders and a separate hydration compartment that is compatible with any brand of reservoir up to 3L in capacity.
Mission Workshop was born in San Francisco in 2009, down a nondescript alleyway surrounded by taquerias and dive bars. A small but passionate team spent months being covered in steel splinters, sheet rock dust and mouldy insulation, transforming an old warehouse into a shiny new workspace.
From here, they embarked on a single-minded mission: to fuse timeless design, modern construction and cutting-edge materials in the pursuit of bags and packs built to last a lifetime. In their own words, the workshop was created “out of the desire to build gear as tough as it is beautiful”.
To be fair, those at the heart of the brand have plenty of pedigree in this area. Co-founder Mark Falvai was one of the brains behind technical cycling brand Chrome Industries, whose signature messenger bags have become the bag of choice for pro bike couriers living and working in some of the world’s biggest and busiest cities.
Mission Workshop abides by the same ethos. Their packs come with a promise to dependably get you out and back, time and again, no matter the conditions – and make your day-to-day just that little bit better, whatever the mission.
