The Rhake is built to hold everything you need for work, play, and the occasional overnight. Purpose-built pockets designed for your laptop computer, iPad, phone, power chargers, keys, sunglasses, and water bottle. Additionally, the weatherproof 22-liter main compartment can grow or shrink as needed to hold gear and clothing.

Like all Mission Workshop backpacks, The Rhake is built with two-layer weatherproof construction to keep your gear safe and dry. For added versatility and customization, the shoulder straps are equipped with two Arkiv rails for attaching small accessories.

The Mission Workshop Rhake takes the original Rhake design to the next level by incorporating waxed canvas. Like on their Advanced Projects® series and messenger bags, The Rhake is constructed with Fairfield Textile 10oz Army Duck Canvas with a Martexin Waxed finish. The weatherproof canvas will show unique wear patterns that reflect daily use. Built to endure.

VX versions of the Rhake incorporate VX-21, an advanced textile with virtually unmatched abrasion, tear, and weather resistance per gram weight. VX versions are also equipped with Fidlock® magnetic buckles allowing for one-handed operation, increasing convenience while maintaining strength. For more information visit missionworkshop.com.
