Hello! I’m Seki, the store manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno.
Today, I’d like to introduce the EXTLEK Series, a brand-new backpack lineup for the 2026 Spring/Summer season from the popular messenger bag brand CHROME.
This high-performance backpack series features a large bottom pocket that allows you to store shoes or spare clothes separately, as well as a fully waterproof removable PC case as standard equipment.
The series comes in three sizes: 24L / 38L / 45L.
It’s a versatile backpack suitable for many situations such as commuting, school, gym, club activities, travel, and business trips.
This is a large-capacity backpack with 45L of storage, the largest in CHROME’s lineup excluding the PRO series.
You can store study materials and sports equipment together, or carry business gear along with travel essentials for business trips. It allows for a wide range of uses that take advantage of its large storage capacity.
With 45L of space, it’s also perfect for travel, tournaments, or longer trips.
EXTLEK 38L PACK
Capacity: 38L
Size: W33.0 × H48.3 × D22.9 cm
Weight: 1.29 kg
Price: From ¥16,500 (tax included)
This 38L model is slightly more compact than the 45L version.
It features a single main compartment, which means one of the largest main storage spaces among CHROME bags over 30L.
Large items are easy to store, making this a great option for travel or for people who usually carry a lot of gear.
EXTLEK 24L PACK
Capacity: 24L
Size: W25.4 × H44.5 × D19.0 cm
Weight: 1.08 kg
Price: From ¥13,200 (tax included)
This 24L backpack is perfect for everyday use.
It includes a separate bottom pocket and a dedicated laptop sleeve, making it very convenient for commuting or school use.
Key Features of the EXTLEK Series
Since all three sizes share the same basic features, we will use the EXTLEK 24L as the main example for this overview.
Wide-Opening Main Compartment
The main compartment is designed to open wide for easy access, allowing you to quickly take items in and out of the bag.
In addition, the side straps allow you to compress the bag to make it more compact when needed.
The interior features a simple structure with minimal pockets, making it easy to store larger items without restriction.
Removable Fully Waterproof Laptop Sleeve
The main compartment includes a laptop sleeve made with waterproof material and thick shock-absorbing padding.
Since the sleeve is removable, it’s convenient when you only want to carry your laptop, such as:
Meetings
Moving between classrooms
Working at a café
Because it is fully waterproof, your laptop stays protected even in sudden rain.
The photo shows a 14-inch laptop, and there is still plenty of room for storage.
Convenient Bottom Pocket for Shoes
The bottom of the bag features a separate bottom pocket.
This pocket allows you to store items that you want to keep separate from the main compartment, such as shoes or spare clothes.
For example, it is useful for storing:
Gym shoes
Sports or club activity shoes
Wet clothing
Lunch boxes
Please note that this pocket slightly overlaps with the main compartment internally.
Convenient Front Pocket
A small accessory pocket is located on the upper front of the bag.
Because it has a shallow design, it is ideal for storing items that you want to access quickly, such as:
Keys
Earphones
Card cases
This pocket also features a water-resistant zipper.
Side Pockets for Large Bottles
The bag includes bottle pockets on both sides.
The wide design allows you to store larger bottles with ease.
These pockets also feature an elastic band, so when they are not in use, they stay flat and maintain the clean silhouette of the bag.
Back Pocket (Available on 38L and 45L Models Only)
The 38L and 45L versions include an additional pocket on the upper back panel besides the storage areas already introduced.
This pocket extends to the middle of the bag, allowing you to store longer items surprisingly easily.
Signature CHROME Shoulder Straps
The shoulder straps feature a loop design that is characteristic of CHROME.
This allows you to attach accessories such as phone pouches or small gear pouches.
The bag also includes a chest strap, which helps you carry heavy loads more comfortably and securely.
Reflective Details for Night Visibility
The front panel, logo, and zipper pulls feature reflective materials.
These reflective elements help the bag stand out when light hits it in dark environments, improving safety during commuting or walking at night.
Breathable Back Panel
The back panel features a breathable mesh design.
This improves airflow and helps reduce heat buildup on hot days.
The bag also includes a luggage pass-through strap, allowing it to be attached to a suitcase handle, making it convenient for travel or business trips.
