Taskin ONE Backpack

San Francisco-based startup Taskin developed this great backpack, suitable for business or pleasure.

The nine-in-one design means the bag can expand and contract to three different sizes, depending on how much stuff you are carrying, and it can be used in three different configurations for maximum utility. Use a single over-the-shoulder strap, two backpack straps or briefcase handles in 20-, 30- or 40-liter capacity options.

Clam shell opening makes for easy packing, and there is a removable laptop sleeve for when you pass through airport security. There are also myriad pockets throughout the bag to keep smaller items separated. Four-point shoulder straps and adjustable sternum straps make for a comfortable fit, and the neoprene-cushioned top handle is easy on the hands.

The bag will retail for $224 following a massive success on Kickstarter, and delivery is scheduled for June. The ONE is made from quality materials and looks like a good piece of kit for those who want a versatile bag that can be used on all sorts of different trips. The stylish design means you can take it anywhere, and the design features mark this bag out from the competition.
