1. The top pocket detaches and becomes a crossbody sling
This is the whole idea. The 2L top pocket lifts off the 26L backpack on a magnetic mount and clips to a strap. Passport, phone, wallet, charger and airpods come with you — the backpack stays at the hotel.
Check availability
2. You stop unpacking your bag at every checkpoint
Everything you actually reach for lives in one pocket at the top. Boarding pass at the gate, passport at security, charger at your seat — no digging through clothes with a queue behind you.
3. It packs like luggage, not like a school backpack
26L opens flat like a suitcase, so you pack in layers instead of stuffing from the top. Fits most 17-inch laptops in a padded sleeve, and slides over your suitcase handle on the luggage pass-through.
At 28.5 x 24 x 44.5cm it clears carry-on limits on most full-service carriers.
4. It replaces two bags, at less than the price of one set
Most travel packs in this class sell the sling separately, and the two bags don't attach to each other — you simply carry two.

5. THEY BUILT THIS AS TWO BROTHERS, FROM A BASEMENT
Kuro started with the two of them sketching bags after work, funded by a single credit line and packed from a basement. Two years later they are still a two-man team — one on design and production, one on operations and support. No investors, no big warehouse, just the bag we wanted for our own trips.

6. It has already sold out twice
The Switchpack launched in early 2025 and has sold through two production runs since — each restock cleared in days, not weeks. Kuro still makes it in small batches, so when the current run goes, the wait for the next one starts again.
Common questions
- Does the sling really come free?
- Yes. The set ships with the 26L backpack, the 2L detachable essentials bag and the crossbody strap. You are not charged separately for the sling.
- Will it fit as carry-on?
- At 28.5 x 24 x 44.5cm it clears carry-on limits on most full-service North American carriers. Budget European airlines run tighter personal-item rules, so measure against your airline first.
- What laptop size fits?
- Most 17-inch laptops fit the padded compartment.
- What if I don't like it?
- There is a 33-day return window, with free returns in the US and Canada.
