Mous is best known for its smartphone cases – you will have seen the YouTube adverts where day-old iPhones are hurled into the air and land, intact, with a thud. But now the British firm sells all sorts of tech-adjacent products, from phone mounts and chargers, to pouches, sleeves, suitcases and backpacks.
Up for review here is the new Protective Lid version of the Mous Optimal backpack. Helping it stand out further still is the UltraTex finish of this particular example, which claims to boost the bag’s resistance to water and tearing compared to regular nylon.
