Countless brands make up the EDC industry, but there are only a few that rise above the rest to achieve cult favorite status.

What makes a cult favorite? Some would say scarcity, rarity or unparalleled quality, but oftentimes, it’s all of these qualities mixed together.

DSPTCH is one such venerated brand, and its newest roll-top backpack is the ultimate expression of technical utility, refined design and exceptional quality.

Roll deep

The 30-liter Rollpack – RND Edition is a lightweight, waterproof pack constructed to handle the rigors of daily life and beyond.

Thanks to thoughtful organization, top-tier materials and adaptable features, DSPTCH’s backpack is as useful as it is classically designed. However, the new release doesn’t come cheap. (More on that later.)

DSPTCH didn’t skimp when it came to formulating this new, streamlined hauler: there are five versions of the Rollpack – RND Edition, each configured with a specific top-tier fabric that lends versatility, rugged durability and simplicity to the roll-top pack.

The material options include Dyneema Composite Fabric, X-Pac X50, Ecopak EPX200 and Ecopak Ultra400, each individually lauded for their mix of performance capabilities, strength and minimal weight.

All material options are coded to a unique colorway, including a Coyote brown (Ecopak) and Light Army green (X-Pac X50.)

Keep it contained

Despite their material differences, each of the five packs boast the same organizational details.

Externally, the EDC-ready elements include Fidlock Snap side adjustments on the roll-top sleeve, which allow for extra secure storage, and side compression straps to control the bag’s depth.

The side straps also double as bottle pocket adjusters.

There’s also a vertical front-zip pocket, 1.5 inch webbing mount system on the side of the bag, load lifters and padded shoulder straps.

Inside, DSPTCH included a large main compartment that can be reached through the roll-top or a side zipper, which also allows direct access to the 16-inch laptop sleeve and a subtle mesh zip pocket.
