Avert Backpack (Carbon Bag / Smell Proof)

What is the Avert Backpack and how does it control odour?

The Avert Backpack is a 27L carbon-lined bag designed to reduce odours while looking like a regular backpack. Its odor-lock technology combines activated carbon lining, sealed zippers, and tough outer fabric to trap smell molecules and limit leakage.

Is the Avert Backpack truly smell-proof?

It's best described as highly smell-resistant. It can dramatically reduce odours when properly packed and sealed, but no bag is 100% smell-proof—especially with strong smells, leaks, or if overfilled or damp inside.

How much can the Avert Backpack hold?

With a 27L capacity, it fits daily essentials like a laptop, charger, jacket, lunch, and small gear. It’s carry-on friendly for most airlines, but always check your airline’s size rules to be safe.

Does the Avert Backpack have a laptop compartment?

Yes, it includes a padded laptop holder and is ideal for travel, commuting, or everyday use. It’s flexible but holds its shape better than soft fabric backpacks thanks to the thick outer material.

Is the Avert Backpack comfortable to wear fully packed?

Yes—it features padded straps and back support for everyday comfort. As always, comfort also depends on how the weight is distributed and how much you’re carrying.

What are the exterior straps on the Avert Backpack for?

The external straps are great for attaching bulky items like jackets, tripods, or yoga mats without cramming them inside the bag. They also work well for carabiners or extra gear.

Can I use the Avert Backpack in the rain?

Yes—it’s water-resistant and handles normal rain and splashes well. For heavy downpours, consider adding a rain cover or using internal waterproof sleeves for sensitive items.

Is the Avert Backpack lockable?

Yes. The zippers can be secured with a small padlock (not included). A TSA-style lock works well for travel. Note: carbon lining won’t trigger airport checks, but standard security rules still apply.

Can I carry strong-smelling items like gym gear or hydro supplies?

Yes—it’s great for odour-heavy loads like food, sweaty clothes, or hydro gear. For best results, seal smelly items in containers or bags before placing them inside. Clean spills quickly to avoid lingering odours.

How do I clean the Avert Backpack?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry fully with the bag open. Avoid machine washing or strong sprays, which can damage the carbon lining and reduce odour control.

How long does the carbon lining last?

Lifespan depends on use. If you keep it clean, dry, and avoid overloading with strong smells, it will last longer. You can refresh it by airing out the bag in a dry space between heavy uses.

What’s the best way to get maximum smell control?

Seal the bag fully every time, don’t overstuff it, keep smelly items double-bagged, and air the backpack out regularly. Keeping the interior dry is key for long-term carbon performance.
