Spacious Top-Loading Pack
Herschel’s new Iona Backpack features a pair of clip-fastened adjustable webbing straps that run vertically down the front of the pack. Notably, the Iona has a spacious main compartment with padded laptop storage and a hidden zippered top flap storage pocket for quick and easy small item storage.
The modern Iona Backpack is no slouch when it comes to carrying support. The Iona Backpack, like the Herschel Little America Backpack, features foam-padded, adjustable shoulder straps that are hardly noticeable. For additional carrying support, the Iona also offers padded back support.
The Herschel Iona is made of woven polyester with a liner of ultra-lightweight nylon. All new Herschel Supply Co. items come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This is important because it guarantees the product is free of flaws in both the material and the production process.
Modern looks and spacious storage are standout features on the Herschel Iona Backpack. In comparison to a similarly priced counterpart, such as the Herschel Heritage Backpack, the Iona offers spacious, top-loading main compartment storage and dual external buckle closure.
