The Minaal Daily – Video Walkthrough
In the city? On the road? Outdoors?
We designed the Minaal Daily around that question. How you pack for daily life depends on what *you’re* into. But we’re here to help you get started:Design [00:03]
We kept the outside sleek and thoughtfully minimal, because chances are, you won’t need to lash on your ice axe after a lunch meeting. You still need to stay organized though, no matter if you’re pedaling into the office and gym, out downtown with your drone and camera gear, or off on a two-day business trip. For longer hauls, the Minaal Daily fits into the Carry-on 2.0’s device compartment (even when you’re carrying a laptop and tablet).
Yep. The Daily fits in the Carry-on 2.0’s device compartment, even with a laptop and tablet inside.

Here’s another (even more grainy) angle.
Raincover [00:10]
The raincover on the Minaal Daily packs into itself and is fully detachable.
You can stuff your Minaal Daily’s detachable raincover into itself for easy storage (also doubles as a very light hacky sack when trapped in empty airports WAAAY longer than expected).
You can stuff or stow it in the sneaky pocket at the bottom of the bag or unclip it and go ultralight. Your bag’s fabric is water resistant to 1000mm. That’s good enough for wearing around town, but you wouldn’t want to be caught raincover-less in a downpour.

Water beading up (in fear!) on the outside of the water resistant Minaal Daily everyday backpack.

Caution: Minaal Daily is not recommended as a personal floatation device.
Backpack, Messenger and Hand-carry Mode [00:20]
When your gear arrives, the anchor fins will be tucked away in hand-carry mode. Pull them out and connect the shoulder straps to wear the Daily in backpack mode. You can also tuck away the shoulder straps and anchor fins and connect the optional Shoulder Sling for messenger mode.
So, so many modes.
Device Compartment [00:25]
Inside the lie-flat device compartment there’s a document sleeve, an organizer panel for everyday tools and the neoprene DeviceNest™ suspension system. There’s no truly “TSA-approved” system, but with a lie-flat device compartment you *may* be able to run your Daily through security with your laptop still in the bag – we’ve successfully done this many times. Just pay attention to posted signs, and remember that agents on the ground always have the final say. If you forget that, they’ll remind you.

DeviceNest™ Suspension System [00:29]
When it comes to protecting your expensive tech, you can’t cut corners. That’s why the Minaal Daily has a full-sized DeviceNest™ built in. That’s the same device suspension system as the Carry-on 2.0 – even though the Daily is about 30% smaller than its big cousin.
The Minaal Daily DeviceNest™ suspension system gives your laptop cozy protection from *every* direction.

Right Hand: “‘Sup over there, Left Hand? You hacking?” Left Hand: “Totes.”
Adjustable Ladder Loops
At the top and side of the DeviceNest™ you’ll find ladder loops that can be used to tailor the fit to your devices. To use them, pinch the velcro end of the elasticated band and thread it under as many webbing ladder loops as needed. Then stretch it over the velcro to close.

The ladder loops in the Minaal Daily ensures your laptop stays snug in the DeviceNest™ suspension system.
Lockable Zippers

Locking zippers mean your gear stays safe even while charging.
Main Compartment
Like the device compartment, the main compartment was designed to fold open for full access. That way, you can get to your gear no matter where it’s stashed. It’s a great place to pack a hoodie, jacket, books or workout clothes, though it’s been known to hold a lot more (depending on your #packingskillz).

Mesh Storage Pocket
The mesh storage pocket in the main compartment zips closed and lets your gear breathe while allowing you to see what you’ve packed. It’s a good spot for bulky items that can compress easily like a burly winter hat or wool scarf.The ‘Trunk’
A lot of Minaal Daily users treat the long zippered pocket at the base of the main compartment as the bag’s ‘trunk.’ It’s the perfect spot to store handy items that you might not always use but are great to have on you when you need them. We’ve seen all kinds of kit in there:- a combination lock for the gym
- a bento box and chop sticks
- a headlamp for biking home late
- extra reflectors or reflector cuffs for errant pant legs
- a portable speaker
- a pair of flats or sandals
- a rain poncho…
If you *might* need it, the ‘trunk’ is your spot for it. Let us know what you’re carrying or tag #minaal on social so we can see for ourselves!
Keeping Your Gear Organized

Attach the Shirt Protector to the internal loops in the main compartment of your Minaal Daily to keep your collars crisp (and for bonus packing ninja points).
Bottle Holder
On the right side of the main compartment there’s a stretch-fabric bottle holder. It’ll keep your liquids locked in while you’re on the move.

Quick Access Pocket
At the top of the bag there’s a quick-access pocket that’s long enough for a boarding pass (and big enough for other stuff in addition!). It’s a good place for chargers, snacks and anything you need at the ready. Inside the quick-access pocket there’s a more-secure zippered mesh pocket that runs its full length. You’ll find a key clip there. You can also use it to keep smaller items organized, to stash pens and pencils, or to keep cables tidy.Adjustable Fit
Once you’re all packed up, put the bag on and adjust the chest strap. It can slide up and down, so make sure you find the right height for your body. Then connect the clip across your chest or tuck it away for a dangle-free experience. The clip even doubles as a whistle.
Clip up the chest strap or tuck it out of your way.

The Minaal Daily adjusts to fit your body type, big or small.
Now that you’re all packed up and fitted out. The only thing left is to make your move!
