YLX Finch Backpack

Crafted out of material made from recycled water bottles, the Finch is a versatile backpack that helps reduce waste pollution. Strong, sturdy, and extremely durable, the polyester fabric also holds up well to resist those ever-so-common signs of wear and tear. Adjustable and reinforced with cushioned padding, the straps rest comfortably on the shoulders to lighten heavy loads. Use the side bottle pocket to store your sips and the interior padded slip pocket to stow away your laptop computer (up to 14").
