afternoons with Albert | technical weekender bag | oak

Popping out for the weekend? We have just the bag to get you where you’re going. Designed to fit everything you need for a short trip, the Technical Weekender has plenty of smarts packed in too. Engineered for life, not for seasons.

Due to personal circumstances, Shane needs to wind up his business. (He will still be flying!) We are helping Shane clear the last of his stock of his beloved “Technical Weekender” because it is a great product and Shane is a great human.

Road tested by “afternoons with Albert” founder Shane before they hit the shelves. Our Technical Weekender is no different. As a pilot for QANTAS, Shane has seen everything there is to see in bags and luggage. So, he knew what he wanted in his design. Once it was made, he put it through its paces and he gave it the tick of approval.

Made for easy loading and unloading, the Technical Weekender comes with top, front and rear handles – perfect for making a quick getaway. As a pilot for QANTAS, Shane has seen too many people struggle to get their bags down from the overhead compartment. The solution was as easy as adding a front and rear haul handles. Just grab and go.

The ALBERT Technical Weekender is made with a water-resistant cotton canvas body. So your clothes stay dry even if the weather isn’t.

An Aussie shed is where all great stories start. Afternoons with Albert is no different. Founder Shane used to spend his Sunday afternoons in his Grandfather’s shed. That’s where he learnt about design and functionality – from watching his Grandfather tinker away. It’s these principles that go into every product that we make. So, when it came to naming his brand, there was only one name that came to mind. His Grandfather’s name. Albert.

All IN THE DETAILS:
Check out the underside of the main opening on the Technical Weekender. It’s lined with Velcro (the soft side!). They are the first in the world to add this feature under the zipper. They put it there, so you can stick our custom-made MOLLE packs under the main opening. So now your smaller items stay put, and you can access them in a flash. Super simple. Super smart.

The large, double zippered opening on our Technical Weekender means it’s one-thousand times easier to pack and unpack. That’s just a guess. But no more wrestling your clothes in and out of a small, single-zip opening.

Honestly - every detail is so well thought out and the quality is remarkable - it is almost “over-specced”!
