Apex Series · Premium Business & Travel

Premium business and travel gear, built on outdoor heritage. Engineered for corporate and frequent flyers, the Caribee Short Haul 42L delivers premium performance with a refined, professional look. Designed for seamless short-haul travel, interstate business trips and weekend escapes, this versatile airline carry-on backpack is designed around the 115cm linear cabin baggage size while offering exceptional organisation and streamlined travel style.

The sleek 42L profile provides generous storage without bulk, making it ideal as a carry-on travel bag, business travel backpack or compact luggage alternative. Constructed with durable, water-resistant PU fabric and lockable zips, your gear has added protection from the elements. Four practical storage zones keep business and travel gear organised on the move, including a front pocket with internal twin zip storage, a spacious main compartment with additional storage pockets, plus a dedicated rear padded 17" laptop pocket for quick and convenient airport access.

On the outside, an expansion zip provides an additional 6cm of packing capacity when needed, while stowaway padded shoulder straps allow the pack to quickly convert from backpack to streamlined travel bag for a cleaner, more corporate carry. If you are travelling with additional luggage, the integrated trolley sleeve allows the Short Haul to sit securely over your suitcase handles for effortless airport transit.
