The Drifter
Dads love their kids, and love spending time with them. Taking them places, buying them things, spending time together. But not every dad loves the idea of toting around a diaper bag, for some guys, it feels too much like a purse. Since fanny packs are out of the question, STM has a solution for those dads who want a little more than a diaper bag.
The Drifter is a spacious backpack with 18L of storage for the necessities, a 3D foam-mesh back for comfort, and even floating pockets to protect a laptop and a tablet. Dads can now carry around anything they might need to keep kids occupied and supplied if they don’t like the idea of a traditional diaper bag.
