Sleek, modern, yet comfortable and versatile. I can use this bag to bring what I need to the gym and quickly transition to a daily commuter for things I need for the office. I photograph, I travel, I workout, and I’m usually on the go. This bag is essential for people like me in the military as well who don’t like to pack in a military style backpack but still have the space required to take the essentials when traveling abroad and not being an easy target. Even as a small business owner, working at farmer’s markets I can take my admin supplies along with me and be completely mobile with this modular bag.
Amazing how much stuff I can carry, especially when I travel with packing cubes. I did a 3-week trip to Europe and I could bring clothes, tech, and more with this bad boy!!
It is not only a high quality camera backpack, but it is also a functional daily carrier and travel bag. Because of the high quality recycled materials and modular design it gives me the peace of mind knowing that it is a circular and ethical product. With its unique packing system the Travel Backpack is especially useful when it comes to storing my camera gear while I utilise the bag for other purposes, like traveling or hiking. Highly recommend it to digital nomads who are looking for a multi purpose backpack that will last forever.
it weighs more than the typical backpack, but it’s very rugged and can withstand a lot of abuse. i wish the zip pockets of the waist belt were more centered so you can look down to see what you’re grabbing. currently they are on the sides.
I recently took the 45L Travel Backpack on a trip to Maui and it was amazing! There is plenty of organization pockets and storage space, but most importantly the wide access zipper made getting to everything you need very easy. I was even able to fit the bag in it's compressed form under the Southwest airplane seat so that I could have an additional carry on bag. We did a trip up to Mt. Haleakala and needed to pack cold clothes, snacks and water bottle for myself and my two young kids. The expansion zippers made it very easy to get everything we needed in. Even though it can store a lot of gear its ergonomic design did not make it feel bulky or heavy. I was very impressed by every detail and quality of this bag. I would highly recommend it!
I bought this bag especially for trips that last a couple of days. I really love the extra straps on the front and use them in example for ski gear that I only need to transport a short distance. Overall quality is great an feels sturdy. Only issue found so far was a magnet that is not perfectly sawn in. AirTag pocket would be nice.
I purchased this backpack for consistent travel and it is great. I was concerned because I am a smaller person so I would need a smaller leader of backpack, but condensing the backpack down is enough for daily travel specifically for me if I don't over pack it (I am 5'6' and 105lbs). It is also amazing for airport travel with the magnetic straps which are my favorite feature. If you consistently overpack or like a super lightweight backpack or are going backpacking, this might not be the best option due the thicker weight of the bag. However, if you are doing daily travel or travel consistently, this bag is sleek, extremely convenient and easy to use without having too many pockets which is my pet peeve (I prefer internal small bags). I will definitely recommend this back back to others, and I have gotten compliments on it even from only three trips so far.
