Knackpackers have been asking for a Small Knack Pack for months, and it will be available to order in a few days. Below, we’ve shared insights on how the Small Knack Pack was designed and tested.
Acting on Customer Feedback
The newest version of the Knack has 40 design updates, many of which were inspired by feedback from Knackpackers. From a trolley sleeve (also called a "luggage pass through"), to lockable zippers to changes in pockets – the Knack 2.0 has been through a lot of usability tests!
And, just like the addition of the trolley sleeve and deeper pockets to all sizes, the development of the Small Knack Pack was really pushed by the Knackpacker community.
Initially, the Knack design team thought of launching a super large version of the Knack Pack exclusively for travel, but Knackpackers convinced us (through your thousands of emails and social posts) that they really wanted a smaller, around-town version of Knack.
Deciding on Specs for the Small Knack Pack
The size of our backpacks is dictated by both the size of the computers that they can carry in the padded computer pocket as well as the number of changes of clothes that can fit in the expandable travel compartment. For example, our Medium and Large Knack Packs fit a 15” and 17” laptop respectively and can carry 2-3 and 3-4 changes of clothes respectively.
We wanted the Small Knack Pack to give you another choice, so we designed it to fit fit a 13” computer and carry at least one change of clothes. It’s perfect for a quick overnight trip or as an every day professional laptop backpack.
Here are the need-to-know specs:
Pack Dimensions (LxWxD):
Expanded: 17"x12"x9"
Unexpanded: 17"x12"x5"
Volume:
Expanded: 29 Liters
Unexpanded: 16 Liters
Weight: 2 pounds 4 ounces
Our Favorite Feature of the Small Knack Pack
If you don’t travel much, this is a great around-town bag that holds everything you need for work as well as your gym clothes (we even added antimicrobial lining to keep your bag fresh even with those sweaty items).

Hey Carol!
Thank you so much for your comment. We’re working on new fabrics for 2020, stay tuned! -BH
i bought a pack for my husband and he loves it….i will order a small for myself. i see you have made a version in leather. I hope the small will come in an upgraded more supple material from the original but lighter than leather…..ballistic nylon maybe? any chance of that? LOVE that you added luggage sleeve.
