PORT Designs publishes no dimensions and no weight for this backpack — only the 12-litre capacity and a feature list. If exact measurements matter for a locker or a cabin-bag allowance, this is not a bag you can size on paper; ask us and we will measure a unit. Reference and colour: 400702 is the grey Yosemite Eco backpack, and grey is the only colour PORT publishes for the whole Yosemite Eco range. An overseas marketplace listing offers a “black” version — PORT publishes no black reference. Note on PORT reference numbers: within this range they encode the product, not the colour — 400700, 400701, 400702 and 400703 are four different Yosemite Eco products, all in grey. Internal contradiction on PORT’s own site: the English specification table has a row reading “Eco materials = No” while the French table for the same product says “Matière ECO = Oui” and the description states 58% recycled material. The English “No” contradicts PORT’s own copy. Not published: fabric type and denier, a water-resistance claim for the shell (a rain cover is supplied instead), a tablet compartment, a chest strap, RFID, lockable zips and a water-bottle pocket. No USB port — PORT states this explicitly.

✓ Commuting with a 13″ or 14″ laptop in a compact pack

✓ Wet climates — the rain cover is in the bag, not on a wish list

✓ Buyers who want a quantified recycled figure rather than a vague claim

✓ Anyone who wants a lifetime warranty at this price

Yosemite Eco is PORT’s environmental line and it is more specific than most: a stated 58% recycled content for the bag and 90% for the rain cover, rather than a green logo and a vague sentence. The rain cover being included and stored in its own pocket underneath is the practical highlight — a rain cover you have to buy separately is a rain cover you do not have when it rains. Twelve litres is deliberately compact, so this is a laptop-and-a-day’s-items pack rather than a travel bag. The nickel-free closures are an unusual and thoughtful specification. The recurring frustration with PORT Designs is data: no dimensions, no weight, no fabric type, no water-resistance claim for the shell. We publish what PORT publishes and flag the rest rather than filling the gaps from a reseller database. And note that PORT’s English spec table contradicts its own French table and its own description on whether this is an eco product at all — the 58% figure appears on both language versions, so we have gone with it. Browse the rest of our laptop backpacks and bags, and a docking station makes a compact pack more practical by keeping cables at the desk.
