What's New?

The Expandable Backpack is the latest version of previous expandable bags: the Setout Divide and Tortuga Air.

Compared to the Divide, the Expandable Backpack is larger (when unexpanded), lighter, and more comfortable. Plus, the water bottle pocket will now fit even larger bottles.

What Hasn't Changed?

The improvements above add up to a new and improved bag. But the most important features of a Tortuga expandable backpack haven’t changed.

Like all previous generations, the Expandable Backpack is still:

  • Carry-on-sized
  • Expandable
  • Easy to pack
  • Comfortable to carry
  • Built to last
