Typically, you might need to get a separate backpack for each activity or series of activities, but Mission Workshop's Arkiv Field backpack utilizes modular compartments to transform into the pack you need every time. One backpack can take on limitless functions without compromise.</p> <ul id="gallery_images"> <li><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures#1" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/missionworkshoparkiv-0.jpg" title="The main backpack can be equipped with a series of sleeves, pockets and cases to organize ..." alt="The main backpack can be equipped with a series of sleeves, pockets and cases to organize ..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures#2" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/missionworkshoparkiv.jpg" title="Not only do you design your own backpack when buying the Arkiv, but you get to configure i..." alt="Not only do you design your own backpack when buying the Arkiv, but you get to configure i..."/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures#3" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/missionworkshoparkiv-2.jpg" title="The Arkiv Field pack gives you use a choice of roll-top or flap-down closure" alt="The Arkiv Field pack gives you use a choice of roll-top or flap-down closure"/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures#4" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/missionworkshoparkiv-3.jpg" title="Accessories include a laptop case, cell phone pocket and vertical zippered pocket" alt="Accessories include a laptop case, cell phone pocket and vertical zippered pocket"/></a></li> <li id="view_all"><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures" class="blue">View all<br/></a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> <p>Customization begins at the point of purchase, as you'll select the specific components and accessories that you need to build your ideal backpack. Start off with your choice of a 1,250 cu in (16 L) or 2,500 cu in (36 L) main pack and then select storage add-ons like a laptop pouch and tool pocket. All components are weatherproof and attach to the main backpack via steel hardware. If you realize later that you need more room, you don't have to buy a new backpack; you can simply purchase an additional pouch or sleeve.</p> <div style="width: 530px; height: 530px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/pictures#9" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/missionworkshoparkiv-8.jpg" width="530" alt="Mission Workshop backs the Arkiv with a lifetime warranty "/></a></div> <p>With a base price over US$200 and an average around $60 for storage add-ons, the Arkiv isn't the cheapest backpack out there. In fact, depending on how many add-ons you want, you may just save money by buying two separate backpacks. However, it's certainly a cool multifunctional backpack that offers you configurations for all kinds of hauling. It's also made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.</p> <p>The video below illustrates how many different ways you can equip yourself with this backpack.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228/http://missionworkshop.com/products/arkiv-system-bags/configure-your-field-pack.php#3" target="_blank">Mission Workshop</a> via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228/http://www.acquiremag.com/style/bags-accessories/mission-workshop-arkiv-field-p.php" target="_blank">Acquire</a></p>  <div class="article_video"><iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228if_/http://player.vimeo.com/video/42592757" width="530" height="298" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fmission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack%2F22655%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130914014228oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/mission-workshops-arkiv-modular-backpack/22655/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/missionworkshoparkiv-5.jpg" data-description="The Mission Workshop Arkiv backpack uses a modular system of storage accessories to give you just the right fit.

Weiss" id="bio_pic"/> </a>   Upon graduating college with a poli sci degree, Chris toiled in the political world for several years. Realizing he was better off making cynical comments from afar than actually getting involved in all that mess, he turned away from matters of government and news to cover the things that really matter: outdoor recreation, cool cars, technology, wild gadgets and all forms of other toys. He's happily following the wisdom of his father who told him that if you find something you love to do, it won't really be work.   <a href="/web/20130914014228/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">All articles by C.C.

I'm a bycicle enthusiast who usually carries around an assorted toolkit and some small mechanical spare parts, which is actually a load heavier than usual for a regular backpack. Thus, they start ripping open in just three to four weeks, even a good-quality Swiss Army backpack I last bought! My local shoe repair shop has reinforced all my broken packs, but still the remedy lasts only another month. </p> <p>Are there any regular-sized backpacks designed for heavier loads? I don't want to look like I'm carrying a parachute, but still I need the capacity to transport heavier-than-usual stuff...(by the way, great leg exercise!) </p> <p>I will much appreciate your suggestions...... </p> <span class="name">Charlie Channels</span><br> <span class="date"> 26th May, 2012 @ 10:27 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-172036" class="a_comment"> <p>I have to say I own a Mission Workshop Vandal bag and travel extensively around the world for work. </p> <p>I use the bag as my carry on luggage and also to carry computer equipment. </p> <p>I have yet to have even one stitch fail on the bag and its very sturdy. Yet probably the most comfortable bag I have owned. </p> <p></p> <p>I have no doubt the arkiv system bag is of the same quality. </p> <p></p> <p>Its probably important to note the bags come with a lifetime warranty.
