Under Armour Hudson Backpack
Streamlined UA Backpack
Under Armour’s Hudson Backpack is a distinctive everyday bag with a stylishly slimline profile. The Hudson comes in a variety of modern styles with a simple dual zip closing and a weather-resistant exterior finish. Importantly, the main compartment of the Hudson features a cushioned laptop sleeve for safe travel.
Overall, the level of comfort provided by the Under Armour Hudson Backpack is stellar. Like the Coalition 2.0 Backpack, the UA Hudson has a cushioned back panel and ergonomic shoulder straps for all-day comfort. Furthermore, the Hudson has a supportive sternum strap for even weight distribution and a reinforced carry handle.
Made of hard-wearing polyester that incorporates Under Armour’s Storm technology for a finish that is resistant to the elements and extremely water-resistant, the UA Hudson is impressively robust. Moreover, the UA Hudson has a tough, abrasion-resistant nylon bottom panel that provides extra protection against wear and tear.
The UA Hudson is a great daily choice, delivering big on practical usability. In contrast to a similarly priced Under Armour option, such as the Coalition 2.0 Backpack, the Hudson provides a more streamlined and lightweight carrying experience. Finally, the Under Armour Hudson Backpack is equipped with exterior attachment points for overflow gear storage.
