Nitro was founded in 1990 in Seattle by Tommy Delago and Sepp Ardelt, with deep roots in West Coast snowboard culture. What began as a passion for winter sports evolved into a distinctive backpack and bag line with an unmistakable, independent character. An international team still shapes the brand today: designs are created in the USA, while technical development and detail work take place in Europe. This blend of American origin and European precision defines every Nitro backpack to this day.
The range of Nitro backpacks covers a wide variety of uses. Daypacks with a padded laptop compartment are ideal for university, everyday life and commuting between home, campus and office, while travel-friendly models with an integrated packing cube make longer trips and weekend getaways easier. Anyone looking for a Nitro backpack with a laptop compartment will find suitable options here, just like anyone who needs a Nitro travel backpack with a packing cube for their next trip.
Professional snowboarders continuously test the models in real conditions, so real demands from the mountains flow directly into product development. A padded laptop compartment, a zip front pocket with a clear organiser, an ergonomically shaped back panel and an adjustable chest strap provide comfort both day to day and on the move. Robust materials and reinforced seams make every Nitro backpack suitable for everyday use and long-lasting at the same time. The design stays understated and functional, defined by clean lines rather than excessive detail, a recognisable feature that makes Nitro backpacks instantly identifiable.
Alongside models for university and leisure, Nitro has also developed its own school and youth collection, combining functionality with trend-conscious colours and patterns for high recognition value. Whether it's a classic Nitro daypack, a model for school or a travel companion with a packing cube: our range includes current Nitro backpacks as well as new Nitro collections as soon as they launch. Anyone looking for a good deal will regularly find Nitro backpacks on sale too, so quality remains affordable.
