Dirty Rigger Technician’s Backpack – 30L Professional Tool Backpack
Dirty Rigger Technician’s Backpack – 30L Professional Tool Backpack
The Dirty Rigger Technician’s Backpack is a rugged 30 litre professional backpack designed specifically for technicians working across theatre, live events and the arts & entertainment industry.
Developed by Dirty Rigger with input from industry professionals around the world, the backpack has been designed around the everyday needs of working technicians – providing generous tool and equipment storage, excellent organisation, comfortable load carrying and quick access to your kit.
At the centre is a large 30 litre storage compartment, complemented by multiple external pockets, a MOLLE attachment system and a dedicated triple-padded laptop compartment suitable for most laptops up to 15.6".
A high-visibility yellow interior helps make tools and equipment easier to locate in low-light environments, while the ultra-tough water-resistant outer fabric and reinforced anti-puncture base help protect your equipment through demanding production use.
Designed for Technicians
This isn't simply a general-purpose backpack. Dirty Rigger has designed the Technician’s Backpack specifically for arts and entertainment professionals.
Whether you're heading into a theatre, production prep, a festival site, a venue or out on tour, the backpack provides a practical way to carry tools, testers, accessories, a laptop and everyday technical equipment in one organised bag.

30 Litre Main Storage Compartment
The backpack features a generous 30 litre central storage compartment, providing plenty of room for the tools, accessories and equipment required for a working production day.
Its internal layout has been designed to make effective use of the available space while keeping equipment organised and accessible.
High-Visibility Yellow Interior
One of the particularly useful features for entertainment technicians is the yellow internal fabric.
Rather than disappearing into a completely black bag, tools and accessories stand out against the brighter interior, helping you locate equipment more easily when working backstage, in wings, during load-ins or in other low-light environments.
Dedicated 15.6" Laptop Compartment
A triple-padded laptop compartment provides dedicated protection for most laptops up to 15.6".
This makes the backpack particularly useful for technicians who need to carry both traditional tools and digital equipment such as laptops used for programming, configuration, documentation or production work.
MOLLE Attachment System
The front and sides of the backpack feature a modular lightweight load-carrying equipment (MOLLE) system, providing additional flexibility for attaching compatible pouches and accessories.
Four D-rings provide further attachment points, allowing the backpack setup to be adapted around the equipment you need to carry.
Built for Production Environments
Dirty Rigger uses an ultra-tough, water-resistant outer fabric together with heavy-duty zips to create a backpack suited to regular professional use.
The base is specifically designed to be anti-puncture, water-resistant and abrasion-resistant, providing additional protection in the area of a backpack that often receives the greatest amount of wear.
Comfortable Load Carrying
The rear of the backpack features ergonomically designed ventilation and padding, while the shoulder straps are both padded and ventilated.
An additional chest clip helps improve comfort and spread the load when carrying heavier equipment.
