What do you mean by ‘official team backpack’?
Great question! This is an official licensed product. When the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team approached Mous to design a team backpack, we knew it had to meet the demands of a relentless motorsport environment – more pockets, less weight and built for performance.
Working closely with engineers, mechanics and marketers at the team’s Brackley HQ, we developed this backpack from the ground up. The result? The official team backpack of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team – the same one used by George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and the rest of the team.
How well does this backpack protect my tech?
The Optimal backpack is built for serious protection. Its AiroFoam® impact-absorbing technology shields laptops and tablets from drops of up to 1.2 meters. It's also highly water-resistant, keeping your gear safe from rain, spills and splashes – though we wouldn’t recommend submerging it in water. Whether you're caught in a storm or on the move, your tech stays protected.
What’s the difference between this backpack and your Extreme Commuter range?
The Optimal backpack refines the best elements of our Extreme Commuter range while reducing weight, enhancing performance and maximising storage. Both offer tech protection, durability and weather resistance, but they differ in design, materials and organisational capacity.
