Versatile, Organized and numerous configurations available
on June 7, 2019
Posted by: Curtis
Just put the Travel Backpack through two weeks in the Canadian Rockies hiking and taking images. Use a small camera cube with one full frame camera and two lenses. The Tech Pouch is dynamite, a favorite. Also rained, so the rain fly cover came in handy. I am in my late sixties, so one complaint is the bag is heavy. Estimate my weight at times, with clothing layers and gear, was between 15-25 pounds. Like the organization and versatile nature of bag. These are items needing further work: Sternum strap, difficult to work with and can be lost easily. It is also very necessary. Small Camera cube needs a center attachment to bottom of bag, not sides. With c-clips on side, bag is uneven and awkward to hike with. Really like the side pockets for water. Trying to move to 35L on airplane does not work on my bag, it stays at 45L which hampered a float plane ride. Received lots of compliments on the sage color and bag, so gave some recommendations during my journey. My sense is I have located the right bag for travel, even if I do not take camera gear. Suggestion would be to buy more C-Clips and a medium camera cube to even out weight. The C-Clips I found can hold more items other than cubes nicely.

Perfect travel backpack
on June 6, 2019

I have absolutely no complaints about this bag! It's incredible how much I can squeeze into it when I need to. On the other hand, when I don't need to carry as much, the bag collapses down to a very reasonable size. I love the quality of the fabric and the zippers. The whole thing is pretty customizable and can be adjusted to whatever type of trip you might be taking. Would recommend to anyone looking for a versatile pack!

The backpack I could never find before
on June 3, 2019
Posted by: Isaac S
I am lucky enough to travel a lot because of our travel blog, but I have always had a great challenge. I was never able to find a good backpack where to fit my main clothes and all the camera gear we use for our pictures and videos. For the first time and after many other backpacks, this 45L travel backpack has been one of the best things I have bought and is my top choice when it comes to the best travel backpack out there, especially for photographers.
It does not only have a great design, but it is incredibly functional, weatherproof, and I always take it as a carry on in all my trips with no issues.
If you want to know more about my personal opinion about the 45L and how they compare to some other good backpacks we have tried, you can take a look to our personal review here (it is not sponsored): https://www.nomadsrtw.com/travel-gear/best-travel-backpack/

Perfect bag!
on May 30, 2019

I use this bag for one-bag business travel purposes and it has been amazing so far.
Some of my favorite things about the bag:
- Hideaway shoulder and hip straps keep the bag looking clean. Many of the buckled straps that help lengthen and shorten the hip and shoulder straps are fastened to the strap, keeping the bag very clean.
- Side access to the main compartment is great!
- The bag has a rigid body and it maintains its shape very well
- The bag can compress to 35L, which helps me use it as an "everyday carry" type bag. Helpful when packing a second pair of clothes/shoes for a gym session after an office day.

My only minor complaint is that the sternum strap is a little difficult to fasten, as it hooks into the opposite shoulder strap rather than clipping to a buckle as other bags tend to do.

This is a very good travel backpack. I've made two three days trips to Idaho with the backpack and everything I needed. Also had no trouble at airport with it. Great carry on bag.

Best travel backpack ever
on May 27, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I've had 5 travel backpacks before this one, including a Fjallraven, Osprey, Quechua, and Kelty. I've been obsessed with finding the perfect sized backpack, with all the right features, and this one is it.
Buy this backpack if you are planning on doing serious long-term traveling, or just a casual weekend. It will satisfy both needs.
