The FCS Mission Surf Backpack has been my go-to travel and surf backpack for many years now. It’s pretty much top-of-the-line when it comes to FCS’ backpack line. You can tell that it is designed specifically with surfing in mind, as it has an array of pockets for all of your surf accessories. Thanks to the 43L design, you can fit your whole wetsuit inside. There are small pockets on the front that are lined with mesh so you can keep your other accessories dry.
That same pocket comes with a “wet zone”, which is essentially a few drainage holes, perfect for if you have wet gear. As an on-the-go worker, I need to have my laptop with me. I love the fact that the FCS Mission comes with a hidden laptop pocket, lined with neoprene and a suspension harness for safekeeping. On the very top of the backpack, there are two small, fleece-lined pockets, perfect for my sunglasses and cell phone.
I sometimes find myself travelling in wetter areas, so the storable, polyester raincoat cover is extremely helpful. It also doubles as somewhat of a changing mat for post-surf sessions. Beyond all the cool features, this thing is extremely comfortable to wear. The shoulder straps are nicely padded, the aluminum-reinforced back support is solid, and the hip protectors throw in some added support. For the nomadic surfer, this backpack is a no-brainer.
