Built for traveling rope technicians, the Lotus is a combination backpack and duffel bag that zips open from all sides and lays flat for maximum access to essential equipment. Our improved version of the Lotus has greater mesh pocket durability, sewn-in gear loops and compression straps, smoother zippers, more secure shoulder and waist strap stowage, stronger dorsal and duffel handles (WLL: 60 lbs & 100 lbs respectively), and color-coded zipper pulls to indicate the optimum location for easy side access.
The Lotus provides 4 exterior pockets and 7 interior pockets for easy organization of personal gear. Items are readily visible inside the mesh pockets, which are placed over the contrasting light gray background of the Lotus interior. The protective storage pocket is ideal for stowing a laptop, ipad, or other surface. Versatile gear loops and compression straps are sewn into the pack in key areas, enhancing equipment storage.
Named after the iconic Lotus Tower, this pack is designed for working at height and taking abuse. The durable black exterior is Double Ripstop Nylon with Carbonate coating on both sides for superior abrasion and water resistance. Heavy duty zippers around the Lotus are fitted with reflective pulls and stored in protective garages. The Lotus includes a removable waist belt and a ground cloth to protect gear as it comes out of the pack. Born to travel, the Lotus has a business card / team card holder, Velcro strip for patches and ID, and fits nicely in overhead bins. Take it anywhere, anytime, for any job.
