Gaston Luga Splash 2.0 - 16" Waterproof Backpack Cloud Cream / Sage

Gaston Luga Spläsh 2.0 Waterproof Backpack 16"

Spläsh 2.0 Urban-Ready Waterproof Protection That Fits Your 16" Laptop

The Spläsh backpack has been reimagined in a more sustainable material that is streamlined, hardwearing and waterproof. Built with an impressive waterproof grade 8000 mm rating, the Spläsh 2.0 shields your tech and essentials from rain, spills, and unpredictable city weather - all while maintaining the clean, contemporary style that Gaston Luga is known for. The backpack is made from eco-friendly waterproof material, specifically recycled PES with a solvent-free PU coating, so you get serious protection without compromising on sustainability. Whether you're a professional hauling a 16" laptop to the office or a student navigating campus between downpours, this is an urban backpack designed to keep pace with your day.

Why You'll Love It

• Waterproof rating of 8000 mm – The backpack's waterproof exterior offers reliable protection during city commutes, handling moderate downpours so your laptop, notebooks, and documents stay dry.

• Spacious 20L capacity – The main compartment which comfortably fits a 16" laptop also leaves room for books, a water bottle, a light jacket, and all your essentials for work or study.

• All-day comfort – The backpack features ergonomic straps and a breathable mesh back support, with cushioned shoulder straps and a movable chest strap that distributes weight evenly across longer carries.

• Sustainable construction – Every element - from the 100% recycled PES lining to the recycled webbing - uses more sustainable material, free from harmful DMFa solvents and PFC.

• Secure double-strap flap closure – The sleek double-strap flap closure keeps all your belongings secure in the main compartment, sealing the top against splashes while maintaining quick, easy access.

What Makes Gaston Luga Different

Most urban backpacks force a compromise: you get full waterproofing in a bulky, outdoorsy shell, or a sleek profile with little more than water-resistant fabric.

The Spläsh 2.0 is built differently:

• 8,000 mm waterproof rating – This exceeds standard urban backpack protection levels. Where many competitors offer roughly 5,000 mm or simple water-resistant coatings, the Spläsh 2.0 delivers genuine rain defence through its eco-friendly waterproof material with PU coating.

• Sustainability without sacrifice – Recycled PES backing with PU coating offers a material that is streamlined, hardwearing and waterproof, proving that responsible production and high performance go hand in hand.

• Scandinavian minimalist design – The backpack is praised for its minimalist and modern aesthetic - muted tones, subtle hardware, no flashy branding. Its contemporary style and functional form make it ideal for exploring the city, fitting naturally with both business casual and street style.

• Streamlined profile – At 45 x 35 x 13 cm, it slides into overhead compartments and navigates crowded transit without bulk, while still maximizing internal space across its 20L volume.

How It Works

1. Load and organise Place your laptop in the dedicated padded sleeve - the backpack features a dedicated padded sleeve for laptops ranging from 11 to 16 inches. Use the multiple organizer pockets for convenient storage of chargers, keys, pens, and smaller accessories. The design includes multiple organizer pockets across the interior and exterior for easy separation.

2. Secure with the flap closure Close the double-strap flap over the main compartment. This keeps all your belongings secure and shields the top opening against rain. Zippered front pockets stay accessible beneath the flap for items you need on the go.

3. Carry comfortably through your day Adjust the cushioned shoulder straps and clip the removable chest strap for stability. The breathable mesh back panel reduces heat buildup, keeping you comfortable whether you're walking, cycling, or standing on a packed train during your daily commute.

Frequently Asked Questions

How waterproof is the 8,000 mm rating in real-world conditions? Users appreciate the waterproof exterior for protection during city commutes - it handles moderate to heavy rain effectively. The flap closure and PU-coated fabric keep water out in typical urban scenarios. Note that the bag is not designed for full submersion.

Is the recycled material as durable as traditional backpack fabrics? Absolutely. Users report excellent durability over extended time, with strong resistance to dirt, fading, and general wear. The recycled PES with PU coating performs on par with - and often exceeds - conventional polyester.

Does Bang On provide official Gaston Luga warranty coverage? Yes. As an authorized retailer, Bang On offers full Gaston Luga warranty coverage (24-month limited warranty), guaranteeing product authenticity and after-sales support.

Can I clean the waterproof coating without damaging it? The PU coating wipes clean easily with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical solvents and excessive heat to preserve the waterproof layer over time.

How does the back support system work for extended wear? The cushioned and breathable back panel promotes airflow and reduces sweat. Combined with padded shoulder straps and a movable chest strap, the system distributes the backpack's 1.35 kg base weight (plus contents) for more comfortable all-day carry - whether walking, cycling, or standing on transit.
