Nalgene bottle. (3.5" diameter) VOLUME: 18 Liter Some backpacks are content being practical. The Menace has bigger plans. Wrapped in legendary Olive Drab TexWax™ canvas and paired with signature TexWax™ Buffalo Plaid wax canvas lining, this is the kind of backpack that looks like it's already lived a few good stories before you've even put anything inside. TexWax™ isn't about perfection. It's about character. Every crease, every scuff, every rainy commute and cross-country flight becomes part of the bag instead of something to hide. It doesn't wear out. It wears in. The Buffalo Plaid lining completes the picture, adding just enough contrast every time you unzip it to remind you this isn't just another waxed canvas backpack. The Menace 2.0 has become the backpack many of us around the factory reach for without even thinking about it. Its tall, top-loading form factor gives it a personality all its own. Unlike virtually every backpack on the market, its unique silhouette isn't just distinctive—it makes the Menace an absolute joy to use day after day. Everything stacks naturally, nothing feels buried, and the whole bag just works. It's the Goldilocks of backpacks: big enough for work, travel, and everyday life, yet compact enough that it never feels like you're carrying more bag than you need. Inside, everything has its place without feeling over-engineered. Outside, rugged TexWax™ canvas shrugs off years of abuse while developing the kind of patina that can only come from carrying it everywhere. Oversized YKK AquaGuard® zippers help keep the weather where it belongs, while AustriAlpin COBRA® hardware reminds you with every click that this isn't ordinary backpack hardware. One of our favorite details is one you'll probably never notice. Between the exterior and interior, we strategically reinforce critical stress points with additional layers of material because we'd rather overbuild something once than apologize for it later. It's the sort of thing that takes more time, costs more money, and makes absolutely no difference until ten years from now. We've never had much of an advertising budget. We'd rather spend that money where it matters: premium materials, industrial sewing machines, ridiculously strong thread, and the decades of experience sitting behind every sewing machine in our Chicago workshop. Every Menace 2.0 is hand-cut and sewn by our small team using methods that have become increasingly rare. We still build from the same hand-drawn paper patterns Mr. Lee has trusted for decades. We still take the time to perfectly align every panel, every seam, and every reinforcement because we believe the hidden details deserve just as much attention as the ones everyone sees. Truth be told, this isn't the fastest way to build backpacks. We still build them the way Mr. Lee taught us decades ago because some things simply don't deserve shortcuts. Don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself volunteering to run errands. Somehow, everything becomes a little more enjoyable when you've got an excuse to carry this thing.
