SOLD OUT & DISCONTINUED - Check out the Drifter 4.0 Collection

Convertible. Modular. Carryon Approved.

The 35L Drifter HD 3.0 is a rugged travel backpack designed to maximize budget airlines’ smaller overhead compartment while also fitting below every airline seat*.

The bag quickly converts from “backpack mode” to “duffle/carryon mode” with the roll top designed to unroll and cover up the shoulder straps, resulting in a more manageable experience when traveling with multiple bags, such as a personal item backpack (28L Ambassador 2.0) and/or gear bag (surfboard, snowboard, golf, etc.).

The 35L Drifter HD 3.0 is the economy version of our heavy duty (HD) convertible carryon backpack and comes included with 10 modular components: 4x economy compression straps, 2x padded handles, 1x duffle strap, 1x chest strap, 1x waist strap set & 1x waterproof rain cover

Maximize your carryon allowance and skip the checked luggage carousel with SOVRN Republic travel backpacks.
