TLDR: Want one bag that carries the whole trip then shrinks to your essentials when you land? That is the whole idea š
You are at the front of the security line and your passport is under a hoodie, behind the laptop, somewhere near the chargers. The Switchpack gives your passport, phone, wallet and cables their own detachable pocket at the top of the pack. You reach for one thing and get one thing.
Most travel backpacks in this class do not include a sling. You buy the pack, then you buy the day bag, then you carry them separately. The Switchpack ships with both, and the small one attaches magnetically to the big one.
Detach the sling bag, clip on the crossbody strap, and head out with only what you actually need. The main pack stays at the hotel. You are not walking around a city carrying your clothes.
It unzips flat, so you lay your clothes in properly and see everything at once. No excavating from the top. At 26L it stays in carry-on territory on full-service North American carriers, and there is a luggage pass-through on the back so it rides your suitcase handle instead of your shoulders.
A dedicated padded compartment takes most 17-inch laptops and sits against your back, away from the zips and the knocks. Around it, water-repellent 600D Jacquard polyester and YKK zippers, dual bottle pockets, a hidden valuables pocket and a scratch-resistant sunglasses pocket. The pack weighs 2.85lb empty, so the capacity does not cost you in carrying weight.
Kuro started because my brother and I kept running into the same frustrating travel problems ourselves. We spent years testing, changing and rebuilding the bag until it worked the way we actually wanted to travel. Even now, weāre still close to every part of it - reading feedback, answering customers, improving the product and seeing where it can be better.
A comparable travel pack and sling from Aer or Peak Design often costs more, and the two do not attach. The Switchpack includes both bags and a magnetic attachment between them, so you are not juggling separate pieces.
More than 800 bags have gone out since launch, and the Switchpack has sold out twice. It is rated 4.9 from 50+ reviews. Free shipping, 33-day returns, and real people answering the emails.

Bag is very useful. It can be use in office too due to laptop compartment. The best part is using it as a travel backpack and the bonus is the sling bag which you can use for daily errands.
Great backpack, love the design of everything and the customer service is top-notch impersonal. Here are my improvements for the next one and phase 2, stiffer material so when youāre Cary bag in the middle is heavy, it doesnāt sag and stays stiffer, easier to zip. Thatās a big one firmer fabric overall also it holds it shape better when full. Need more colors as well, need a Gray, Blue, and maybe a dark green.
100/100
Got this about three months ago, love it, it gets rather big if you need it to and then small if you donāt need it, I like to have the extra room, love the big flap in the front to open up the fine tons of little stuff that you may have in there, the only thing is when the sling is full in the middle it slouches a bit so you have to hold it up to zip all of the main zippers, small detail so if the fabric was a little stiffer, it would hold straight and be easier to zip with one hand, thatās nitpicking. Itās a great backpack, and now all you need is more colors, having only black isnāt really that unique so a good stone a good Graye a good darker blue would be a hit
I LOVE this backpack, the separate sling bag changes the entire game, especially when using this for travel. This bag has plenty of space for the everyday things, it's organized well, and being able to seamlessly detach the sling bag and have your essentials on the go without lugging around a whole backpack is my favorite feature! Materials are solid, whole bag is well constructed, branding is clean and subtle, padding is perfect and makes it a comfortable bag as well. It's the perfect work, weekend travel bag!
The backpack is amazing! Material feels durable and premium, nice finishes, and the best part was the extra sling bag. I can put a lot of things in the bag without feeling too bulky look.
Love this bag pack! It's so great!!!!
Very good backpack with integrated sling. Only 2 problems - (1) it does not stand upright unless completely filled and (2) depending on the shape/type, the side pockets do not hold the water bottles tightly, causing them to come slipping out
Ever since I got this bag, I carry it with me everywhere I go. The bag is so versatile and very useful for any occasions. Work, gym, also a weekend getaway, this bag is definitely my āGo-Toā bag and I love it so much.
I like the look and feel of the bag. The 2 bottle pouches on the side being equally large is great. It's easy to put 2 bottles, one on each side. The medium sized pocket/pouch at the top which comes with a side bag is great. I use it for storing books to read on the subway. It gets very tight if I try to use it for traveling. the middle compartment is never enough to fit everything I need.
great quality - amazing customer service
Love this bag. Been looking at it for a long time, and finally decided to upgrade my work bag to the Kuro - the pop-out fanny pack is fantastic for on-the-go and quick organization, and I feel like I can carry everything neatly with this bag. Highly recommend!
As a remote freelancer, this backpack is the perfect daily companion: Work days: My 16" Macbook, laptop stand, keyboard, and lunchbox fit with room to spare! I love the separate compartments, and the sling bag is perfect for necessary charging block & cables, earbuds, and external ssd. I love the top compartment access! Home days: Shoes and gym gear + water bottle. A fantastic gym companion. Travel + Digital Nomading: I travelled for months in Japan with the Workpack + carry-on luggage. My camera bag nestled in comfortably in the outer compartment, alongside my laptop and accessories. A great investment with quality materials! I couldn't recommend this backpack more!
The backpack is very well thought out. Itās the perfect size for both travel and everyday use. The design is sleek, it doesnāt look out of place whether Iām wearing smart casual or sporty attire. One thing I really appreciate is the quiet zippers. No jingling! Thank you for that! I also own a Prada and a Tumi backpack that I used to rotate regularly, but since receiving the Kuro backpack I havenāt touched either of them. Time will tell how it holds up long term. It doesnāt feel quite as indestructible as Tumi, but considering the price, I could buy several Kuro backpacks for the same cost. Overall, Iām very happy with the purchase. Iāll definitely be checking out your future products.
Innovative design and extremely comfortable. This is my go-to travel and work bag. Itās aesthetic enough to bring into the office as a daily and love the compartments and hidden sling bag feature! The materials are extremely durable and I havenāt really noticed any wear at all.
Exactly what I was looking for
Absolutely love this backpack and the service from Kuro is second to none. USPS screwed up my shipment and Kuro sent me a second pack with no questions asked! It saved my international trip...I would recommend this backpack to anyone and everyone!
Awesome bag and you can see every thought went in to it kudos to the team on this. Just wish it had a chest strap and it would be the last bag you ever buy!
Really.iike it, love the top punch. Wish you had gray color
Overall, this bag is exceptional. The design is meticulously crafted, making it a versatile and reliable accessory for various purposes. I can't wait to use it for my gym workouts and any tech-related tasks I may have while traveling. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed by the Kuro team. Great product followed up by an exceptional team!
A great bag from a company that offers exceptional customer service!
This is literally one of if not THE BEST backpack I have ever bought, especially since I travel a lot. The top compartment for the tech pouch is such a smart and innovative idea, love it! 5 Stars
This backpack is amazing!! The material feels high quality and durable and the design is so intentional and thoughtful! Itās so functional, fits so much, yet doesnāt looking bulky at all! Great backpack and the staff is so friendly and accommodating as well āŗļø Thank you Kuro!!
Great customer service. They managed to ship to me very fast as i wanted the bag for a holiday! And since have been very fast in answering questions! Highly recommend this company!
This bag is designed with purpose! An umbrella and water bottle can comfortable fit themselves into the side compartments. The large internal space can pack any lunch and clothes for trips that may last up to like 3 days. Laptop sleeve perfectly fits 16 inch macbook (even with a case, though if you have a protective laptop cover on, it gets very snug). Laptop pocket is also good for notebooks, stationery and storage of tablets, kindles, etc. You can be confident your naked laptop won't get damaged in the bag because it is protected by thick memory foam that is utilized for comfort on the side of the backpack facing your back as well as having a padded internal sleeve. Travel pack that comes with the backpack is also great! As a student I keep the travelling pack in the bag compartment open so I get an added level of organization for chargers, etc. But anytime I need to take a short trip anywhere from my office, the travel pack is just emptied into the pack compartment in the bag and I am ready to go! Would highly recommend despite the price being just a little bit steep!
Got this bag because I was going on a trip where I was going to be flying and riding trains on the East Coast. This bag was absolutely clutch. Love it. In the middle pocket, I was able to pack some clothes, a toiletry bag, and a thick book (Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson). This was clutch as it freed up room in my carry-on luggage for a week-long trip/conference. The third pocket with the laptop compartment was good for my 15-inch laptop plus a small notebook and journal (plus the laptop charger). The cushion on the straps was also a plus and was helpful when carrying a heavy, fully packed out bag. The coolest part of the bag, though, was the top compartment. It's cool that it comes with a fanny pack, although for this trip, I didn't bring it because I needed to use the full space. A potential negative I was hesitant about was the water bottle holders because of a YouTube review. But walking, flying, taking public transport, and throwing it around, the big water I had stayed firmly in the holder, even with the bag fully packed out. This was a happy surprise
I never leave reviews, mainly because I don't care, but this backpack is worth it. I was very nervous about choosing a new backpack, but the Kuro backpack has eceeded my expectaions (especially in the design and materials used). It holds everything I WANT, and has some pretty smart water bottle holders on the sides. I've had zero issues, ziltch, and am going to look into some more of their products. Sleek, Useful, Confident.
It's an amazing backpack, I have enjoyed flying out with it as I can get everything out in ease. The most unique feature is the portable tech/ fanny bag. Hoping more colours and sizes will come soon.
Great backpack, holds more volume than advertized and though I would recommend to most of my friends and family, a few minor improvements could be made: the handle could feel more structuraly sound as it felt like I was stressing the attachments if the workpack was heavily loaded, the laptop compartment could use a better false bottom that would better protect my device when I set the backpack down, and the bottle holder could be more secure as my bottles had occasionally slipped out. Also, the unfortunate omission of a sternum strap made this a good, extremely innovative product rather than a great one. I would gladly pay more for a better product, and I look forward to whatever Kuro chooses to release in the future.
Genius design, premium materials. Best for everyday use and the best part is you got a backpack and a sling at the same time, which merge in a perfect way. I love it and using it everyday. Looking forward to their next product.
I love the product, thank you for your service
I really like the compartments and what itās able to let me carry around while still looking fresh! Itās been my everyday backpack since Iāve received it!
very versatile bag. Super refreshing way to travel. Having all of your most important things in one convenient (detachable) place is genius. I love this bag. Each compartment was extremely well thought out and the materials are great. This is my second Kuro product, and both have been phenomenal. Can't wait to see what these guys come out with next.
This is a solid backpack and is fair for the price point, and delivers on all things advertised. I'll keep this concise: What I love - The materials (especially the external), it's got a really nice feel to it and texture is unique. - The removable pouch. Great for travelling and I like that it snaps inside the compartment... very cool concept and most importantly useful. - All the storage pockets, they're well thought out and there's plenty of them. - Side pockets nicely stores my water bottles, pretty much a perfect fit. My only pet peeve - The laptop compartment has a hard time getting zipped up if there's weight in the removable pouch. Thought it wouldn't be an issue but requires extra effort every time I put my laptop in, which is multiple times a day. The weight can also cause the compartment opening up if the zippers aren't secure, so I always have to double check. Overall this is impressive for a V1 backpack and would recommend. I'd give it a 5/5 if it weren't for the inconvenience of what I said above!
Awesome backpack. So well thought out. I've been looking for months for something that checked all the boxes and this is really the one. The only small negative I have is that I wish it had some way to tame the loose shoulder strap tails.
This is the perfect work bag and travel bag. Itās roomy and holds everything I need!
I did my research, this was the best backpack for my work-life balance. Using it everyday since, it's exceeded my expectations. The perfect workpack.
Absolutely love this backpack. Itās small enough to not feel like a burden but has plenty of compartments and space for everything that you need on a day to day basis. I use it for work and the gym. I love the easy access compartment on the top and I love that it came with a little cross body bag. Think this is a really well designed backpack. So glad to finally have something that works for everything.
For everyday office work. One if the best out there
Amazing backpack. High quality and can be used in many ways. 10/10!!
Love the bag! Super comfortable, has enough space for my camera and equipment, and the top pocket is a game changer for all the small things I need to grab!
I ordered the Everyday Work pack from Kuro and absolutely love! I had been looking for a backpack for a couple weeks now, that would be suitable for work, travel, and just in general, my everyday needs. It had come to a point where I had a few options but with 5 days left to travel hadn't placed an order as nothing sat right. That's when I came across Kuro. I instantly fell in love with what they had to offer but was worried I wouldn't recieve it in time due to the long weekend. I ended up reaching out to them and soon after had everything sorted. Long story short I recieved the bag within 12 hours (thankfully I live close enough to their dispatch location), and I genuinely could not be happier. A sleek, multipurpose, multifunctional backpack. Itās thoughtfully designed to make daily preparation easier. Thanks to the Kuro team for your impeccable service and well done on creating a pack built to last!
I've been looking for a backpack that checks all my boxes and this one has been awesome. I didn't know I even wanted this type of admin compartment being provided as a sling! The top down access is really great when using in the office and cafes, and it's so simple to take it out and bring it with me on errands. I also appreciate that the back panel and the straps are very cushy and comfortable. Can't wait to bring it with me on my next trip :)
Amazing backpack. The sling pack pocket is great, but for ME, the best part is the clamshell opening. It has amazing capacity for a short trip while still retaining a ānormalā looking shape. The top pocket can be repurposed for a toiletry bag quite nicely as well.
Excellent quality bag and even better customer service!!
Honestly one of the best bags Iāve ever owned. The attention to detail on the tiny things is what makes this bag different. I thought Iād get confused with all the zippers but in my most recent travel, it helped stay super organized. Not to mention the small bag that comes with it, all my cable management fit nicely. 10/10 worth the price, trust me. Shoutout to the founders for an amazing craft
Amazing backpack, great quality. Have it as my daily driver for work/gym. Customer service and the team that makes this is top notch.
The backpack is wonderfully designed; overall, a very solid bag. The bag is water-resistant and very durable, made from a strong polyester. I highly recommend this bag for anyone who travels for work.
This bag does it all, from using it as a carry on while flying, to spending a couple nights at the cottage, or bringing it on a hike. The storage compartments are laid out perfectly, along with being able to fit so many items! It's comfortable to wear, and looks great with every outfit.
As a creative couple always on the goāwhether weāre on set acting, dancing, or behind the scenesāThe Everyday Workpack has been such a game-changer. Whatās cool is we actually share it. The design is super clean and minimal so it works for both of us! My wife loves the flex pouch for keeping her go-to things easy to grab, and Iām always impressed by how much tech we can pack in without it feeling bulky. Laptop, chargers, camera gearāit all fits! Itās rare to find a bag thatās both stylish and super functional, but this one nails it!!
