Smith the Roll Pack: Designed for the Journey
When it comes to a backpack, it’s the little things that make the big difference. And in Smith the Original Roll, every detail is there for a reason. Now back in its original Bionic® cotton canvas and available in both 15L and 25L, this pack isn’t just built to carry your things — it’s built to carry you forward.
We’ve broken down the standout features of each size below, so whether you’re choosing your first Millican bag or upgrading an old favourite, you’ll know exactly what you're getting — and why it matters.
The backbone of the bag
No matter which size you choose, both versions of Smith the Original Roll Pack are made with the same commitment to thoughtful design, functionality, and sustainable construction. Here's the features they share:
Ergonomic shoulder straps
- Fully adjustable, padded, and shaped to sit comfortably even when you’re fully packed.
- Improved buckle design prevents slipping — no constant readjusting mid-journey.
Roll-top closure
- Expands to carry more or rolls down for a slimmer profile.
- Offers weather protection and a flexible main compartment, great for spontaneous plans.
Padded laptop sleeve
- 15L: Holds laptops up to 13”
- 25L: Holds laptops up to 16”
- Discreet and easy to access, so you're not digging around at security or at your favourite café.
Hidden external zip pocket
- Perfect for passports, wallets, or small valuables.
- Paired with an internal key ring, because who hasn’t lost their keys in a backpack?
Front + side pocket setup
- External front pocket with organiser for notebooks, pens, sunglasses, snacks — you name it.
- Two stretch side pockets for water bottles, bike locks, or whatever you need quick access to.
Weatherproof finish
- Bionic® DPX Canvas (67% RPET / 33% Cotton) with a PFC-free C0 DWR coating.
- Keeps your gear dry in light rain and resists marks and scratches — tough, but not too heavy.
