DAKINE

Motive 30L Backpack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the pack I grab when I’m biking to work—it’s super comfortable thanks to the foam back panel and sternum strap, and it doesn’t bounce around. The laptop sleeve is padded and secure, and I like the expandable pocket for stashing my lock. The rain cover has already saved me more than once."

The Motive 30L Backpack is a rugged, commuter-ready pack built for everyday use and weekend missions alike. Dakine crafts it from 100% recycled, abrasion-resistant nylon with water-resistant zippers and includes a fitted, removable rain cover for reliable weather protection. With 30 liters of space, it’s designed to balance roomy storage with streamlined organization.

A back compartment houses padded sleeves for laptops and tablets, while the main compartment offers stash pockets and a zippered mesh pocket for smaller essentials. A fleece-lined top pocket keeps sunglasses and phones safe, and an expandable exterior pocket makes quick access to locks, tools, or layers easy.

Ergonomic foam padding on the back and shoulder straps keeps the load comfortable, while a tuck-away hip belt and adjustable sternum strap secure the fit for rides and walks alike. Exterior lash points add versatile carry options for a helmet or bike light, rounding out this weatherproof pack for active, organized commuting.
