The Radian is a 42-litre pack designed to seamlessly navigate almost any environment with all the gear required for longer journeys. The elegance of The Radian lies in its configuration. The entire front panel zips open so that it can be packed flat like a suitcase, while at the same time maintaining the classic Mission Workshop roll-top closure for quick access to essential gear. Roll top can be used with or without velcro.

The Radian has dedicated laptop, iPad, and water bottle pockets so that it can be used as a single-bag solution for extended trips — replacing a rolling suitcase and pack/messenger combo. Traveling without rollers (and with two free hands) is especially liberating when facing subway stairs, cobblestones, and gravel roads. In addition, the Radian is compatible with all Arkiv system accessories giving it the ability to adapt and evolve as needed.

The backpanel of the pack is plush, breathable and fully adjustable in height with an internal aluminum frame so that it can be carried comfortably all day. An optional waist belt is available for carrying exceptionally heavy loads.

The main body of the pack is made from either 500D black camo Multicam Cordura or Mission Workshops advanced HT500 textile. HT500 incorporates high-tenacity yarn resulting in a refined lightweight fabric that is abrasion and tear-resistant. HT500 also has a special water-resistant coating that gives it extra structure and allows it to patina and naturally distress with age similar to leather or waxed cotton. Unlike many nylon fabrics, HT500 fabric looks better the more you use it.
