Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What laptop sizes can the Hatch 22 EDC. Backpack fit?

Hatch 22's tech compartment fits laptops up to 16 inches (perfect for 14-16-inch modern machines) and full-size tablets. The tech compartment features stylus/pen slots.

Q: What makes the Hatch 22 the endgame EDC. backpacks?

Because we maxed out the spec sheet and didn't hold back.

MULE.TEX for monsoon-ready protection. SUPER.VELOUR liner throughout for a plush feel. Magnetic sternum strap that snaps to secure with a satisfying click. Anti-theft locking straps. MULE. orange microfibre leather touchpoints throughout. Refuse to settle. This is what the endgame looks like.

Q: Is the Hatch 22 Backpack water-resistant or waterproof?

Hatch 22 uses weather-resistant MULE.TEX TPU polyester and water-resistant zippers to protect against light rain, dust, and UV fade. It’s built for tough commutes and travel, but it’s not rated for full submersion or extreme wet conditions.

Q: Is the Hatch 22 TSA-friendly? Can I access my laptop quickly at airport security?

A: Yes. The Hatch 22 features a dedicated quick-access tech compartment that holds 16" laptops and tablets. The 270° clamshell opening allows the bag to lay completely flat, making it easy to present your tech at security checkpoints without removing everything. Between the quick-access compartment and the full clamshell design, you're covered for fast TSA screening.​

Q: Is the magnetic sternum strap secure?

A: Absolutely. The magnetic sternum strap snaps to secure with a satisfying click, but requires a deliberate twisting gesture to unlock. This twist-to-release mechanism ensures it never comes off accidentally, even during active movement. It's designed for single-hand operation and built for reliability. Warning: Pretty addictive to use.

Q: Where does the magnetic sternum strap stow away when not in use?

A: The magnetic sternum strap stows away in its own dedicated zippered pocket when not in use. When you don't need it, it disappears completely into the harness system.​

Q: Is the Hatch 22 suitable for overnight travel or just daily carry?

A: The Hatch 22 works for both. At 22L capacity with a 270° clamshell opening for suitcase-style packing, it handles overnight trips easily. The travel-ready organization includes a tech organizer with a magnetic closure and a separate TSA-ready laptop compartment. and a luggage strap pass-through for attaching to rolling bags.

Q: Can the Hatch 22 fit under an airplane seat?

A: Yes. As a 22L backpack designed for travel-ready organization, the Hatch 22 is sized to fit under most airline seats. The streamlined profile and structured design make it ideal for carry-on travel without taking up overhead bin space
