Scapade AirPack with "Where is?" integration tested

Accessory provider Scapade is trying to attract attention with specialized gadgets for mobile working and travel. To stand out from the crowd, the manufacturer relies on direct integration with Apple's "Find My" network. We took a closer look at the Scapade AirPack and tested whether the smart backpack can impress in everyday use.

Design and workmanship: Robust and dimensionally stable

With a volume of 28 liters, the Scapade AirPack offers ample storage space for everyday use and short trips. Despite its dimensions of $47\times 32\times 23\text{ cm}$ The backpack has a slim, streamlined appearance. In terms of materials and workmanship, the model showed no weaknesses review. The AirPack is constructed to be dimensionally stable and does not collapse even when empty, thanks in no small part to the all-around sewn-in padding.

With an empty weight of just under 1,3 kg, the backpack is within an acceptable range. The surface is water-repellent and can withstand rain showers. However, only the side pockets use specially sealed zippers, while the main compartment uses a classic model, which is at least protected by internal rain flaps and a top cover.

Interior: Space for hardware and clothing

The main compartment features a clamshell design. The zippers extend all the way to the bottom, allowing the backpack to open like a suitcase. This makes packing clothes for one or two days much easier and wrinkle-free.

The AirPack offers a well-thought-out layout for the hardware:

• Laptop compartment: Lined with velour and sewn in a raised area, suitable for notebooks up to 16 inches.

• Tablet compartment: Provides space for an iPad Pro up to 12,9 inches.

• Additional subjects: Four smaller inner compartments organize documents, power supplies and charging cables.

However, a significant criticism in everyday use is evident on the outside: there is no flexible mesh pocket or dedicated holder to quickly access a water bottle on the outside.

Security and smart features: lock and tracker on board

Security is a top priority with the AirPack. A TSA-compliant combination lock on the top protects the main compartment from unauthorized access. The zippers of the outer pockets are also secured with small loops, making them difficult to open unnoticed in crowded situations.

The defining feature is the Bluetooth tracker integrated into the back panel. This tracker is fully compatible with Apple's "Find My" network. If the backpack is left in one location, the system sends a notification. proActive alert sent to the connected iPhone. According to the manufacturer, the tracker's integrated battery lasts up to 6 months and can be fully recharged in about 30 minutes via MagSafe or Qi charging pad.
