One Pack to Rule Them All: The YOMP YCO-2 30L Backpack

YOMP has quickly made a name for itself by focusing on gear that’s built tough, performance-oriented, and ready for serious use. While their YCO-1 backpack is geared towards rucking and load training, they recognised the need for a pack with that same military-grade durability but optimised for the demands of daily life, gym sessions, and travel. Enter the YOMP YCO-2 30L Backpack – their answer to the ultimate everyday carry, gym, and travel pack, engineered for anyone who needs durability, organisation, and comfort all rolled into one rugged, high-performance package.

Constructed from full 1000D Cordura, the YCO-2 is built to laugh in the face of tough conditions. This is a pack designed to withstand the kind of abuse that would send lesser bags packing, all while keeping your gear secure and easily accessible. Unlike its weight-plate-carrying sibling, the YCO-1, this version sheds the dedicated ruck plate pocket, allowing for significantly more internal organisation and versatility – making it the perfect blend of durability, organisation, and comfort whether you’re hitting the gym, travelling across the world, or managing your daily commute. It’s built tough, packed smart, and genuinely ready for anything you throw its way.

Organisation is a key focus here. The YCO-2 features thoughtfully designed dual compartments, ideal for separating gym essentials from travel gear or work items for efficient packing. Smart internal organisation is boosted by multiple storage pockets ensuring quick access to everyday carry essentials like keys, wallet, and accessories.

The Mesh Pockets boast High-Visibility Orange Nylon Backing, making it easier to locate your gear even in low light conditions. Perhaps the most essential feature for anyone hitting the gym is the dedicated Damp Gear Pocket – a smart, separated section within the main compartment specifically designed for sweaty clothes, wet towels, or toiletries, keeping moisture well away from the rest of your kit.

A dedicated Laptop Compartment is padded and secure, perfect for carrying devices up to 16 inches on the move, and a Quick-Access Pocket is ideal for small essentials like your phone or passport. Two discreet Drink Holder Pockets keep hydration accessible without disrupting the bag’s sleek profile.

Comfort is also well catered for, even when the 30L capacity is fully loaded. Padded Shoulder Straps are engineered for all-day comfort. For heavier loads or longer journeys, the removable Hip Belt and Sternum Strap offer added support, helping to distribute weight evenly – they can also be easily removed for a streamlined look when not needed.

A single Compression Strap for the main compartment helps keep your load secure and balanced. Adding further ruggedness and style are Aquaguard zips for added water resistance. Offering this level of military-grade durability, smart organisation (including that game-changing damp gear pocket), and versatility at a price point of £189, the YOMP YCO-2 30L Backpack is a seriously impressive piece of kit. It’s designed to move with you, built to last, and intelligently organised for the modern multi-hyphenate.
