What's the difference between the Pakt One and the Cero Travel Backpack?Updated 10 hours ago
<p>Both are carry-on travel backpacks, and both are Fair Trade certified, covered by our lifetime warranty, and shipped in plastic-free packaging. The real decision between them comes down to one thing: <strong>organization and fit, or weight.</strong></p>
<h3>Pakt One Travel Backpack — maximum organization and the best fit</h3>
<p>Our flagship carry-on, and the most adjustable bag we've made. It's the right choice for digital nomads, business travelers, and anyone who wants to stay organized on the road.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Adjustable torso system</strong> — a first for Pakt, so the fit works across a wide range of body types</li>
<li><strong>Expansion pocket</strong> — adds capacity when you need it, disappears when you don't</li>
<li>Clamshell opening, luggage pass-through, padded 16" laptop compartment</li>
<li>Removable pre-curved hip belt and sternum strap</li>
<li>Noticeably deeper main compartments than our previous Travel Backpack — 3.5" on both sizes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Specifications</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>35L+ (expands to 40L): 19.5" x 12.5" x 9" (50 x 32 x 23 cm) — 3.6 lbs (3.9 lbs with hip belt and sternum strap)</li>
<li>45L+ (expands to 50L): 20.5" x 13.5" x 9" (52 x 34 x 23 cm) — 3.7 lbs (4.0 lbs with hip belt and sternum strap)</li>
<li>Carry-on compliant with most major airlines</li>
<li>Recycled nylon, PFAS-free water-resistant coating</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cero Travel Backpack — our lightest carry-on</h3>
<p>At 2.3 lbs, the Cero is the lightest carry-on we make. That came from an intense weight-cutting design effort: a deliberately pared-down feature set and our light-but-tough "Aeroweave" fabric. It's the right choice for minimalists, outdoor travelers, and anyone counting grams.</p>
<ul>
<li>Luggage-style dual-compartment packing</li>
<li>Top-access padded 16" laptop pocket</li>
<li>Interior security pocket with RFID-blocking liner</li>
<li>Luggage pass-through, hide-away accessory straps, stowable shoulder straps</li>
<li>Removable webbing hip belt and sternum strap</li>
<li>Lockable zipper sliders</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Specifications</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>35L: 50 x 30 x 24 cm; 20" x 12" x 10" — 2.3 lbs (2.5 lbs with removable hip and sternum straps)</li>

<li>Aeroweave composite laminate exterior, PFAS-free water-resistant coating</li>
</ul>
