Hitchhikers Wasp 2.0

Hitchhikers Wasp 2.0

    The Wasp 2.0 follows right after the collaboration Wasp CP6.  A purpose-built pack designed to conquer the urban jungle and beyond, 

     The original Hitchhikers Wasp was born in 2018 and is a pack designed for the urban jungle. It combines durability, versatility and clean aesthetics for the concrete jungle.  It was Hitchhikers first step into the world of backpacks. Now, with feedback from end-users and our own experiences, we’re proud to launch the limited-edition Wasp 2.0. The Wasp 2.0 is covered with a 500 denier nylon skin and has a orange pack liner iinterior.

 Now onto the Wasp 2.0 details

   The Wasp 2.0 is a purpose-built pack standing at approximately 18L. It is what we consider a good size for Every Day Carry and office carry. It features 2 compartments, work compartment and lifestyle compartment. It epitomizes, “Party at the front, business at the back”. Laptops, documents, and electronics are carried in the work compartment while groceries or gym clothes and shoes are carried in the front. The Wasp CP6 continues with our tradition of having clean aesthetics and takes it a step further. You will find no PALs webbing for any attachments nor loop panels for sticking on patches or tags. This clean aesthetics presents a low profile, making it convenient for public transport and less of a target in the crowded urban areas. There are 4 handles all around the pack. The top and side handles are double layered for a more comfortable hold either in the profile or briefcase mode. The handle at the bottom of the pack affords easy retrieval from overhead bins on aircraft or trains. Other than the top handle, the side and bottom handles features attachment points for compression straps, the Hitchhikers Mosquito or beavertails.

    A familiar front dump-all compartment with minimalistic branding offers quick access to small miscellaneous items such as sunglasses, keys, napkins or pens.

   New on the Wasp 2.0 is a bottom access compartment for jackets, foldable umbrellas and rain covers.

   As with the original Wasp, Wasp 2.0 has the discreet pocket at the back for travel documents, cash or sensitive items when security is paramount. It’s also a perfect place for an Apple Airtag.

   In place of nylon triglides, Wasp 2.0 now sports aluminum triglides with anodized grey finishing.

   The lifestyle compartment is decked out in an orange liner for better visibility under low light conditions. A strip of four-inch loop runs down the back of the lifestyle compartment. This strip of loop allows users to attach hook backed pouches or morale patches. The front of the lifestyle compartment consists of two zippered mesh pockets and a zipper fabric pocket.

   The business compartment is where the serious stuff is held. This compartment is padded all around to protect laptops and other electronics. Two mesh sleeves to hold stationary, namecards and portable electronics. Two false bottom full sleeves to hold documents, framesheets and laptops. The sleeve can hold up to fifteen-inch laptops. Anything bigger would go into the compartment itself. This compartment is expanded from the original Wasp to hold all the work items. Users would be able to separate work and lifestyle items without having to dig through one to get to the other.

     The last but not the least finishing touch is on the shoulder straps. Each shoulder strap comes with an aluminum loop to allow the user to maintain adjustability on the length of the strap while preventing the extra length from flopping around.

 Finally, let’s talk material

   The Wasp 2.0 is a regular production item and we use 500D Cordura™. Cordura™ is tough, light and easy to repair. The interior is lined with 420d low density orange pack cloth to give excellent contrast in low light conditions. The webbing used meets the MIL 17337 standards while the loop meets the Mil-Spec AA55126A standard. YKK reverse coi zippers and aluminum hardware complete the list of materials used for this pack.

 Designed for urbanites with active lifestyles, the Wasp 2.0 is versatile, perfect for work and play. Built to last, we hope that the Wasp 2.0 will serve you well for years to come.
