THE Best Travel Backpack
on September 11, 2025
Posted by: belleabby
from New York, NY
Bought the 45L Travel Backpack in Coyote before a 2 week trip in Europe. I have since packed it with new sweaters, jeans, gifts, etc. and the bag still manages to fit everything without the expander. Pockets are extremely well organized and accessible. This is THE best travel backpack. And a lifetime warranty makes the product 100% worth it for the price and quality design. Doesn’t hurt my back too and I am a thin woman with lots of stuff!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Zipper heaven

Always seem to overpack when traveling, both for business and pleasure. Since purchasing the 45L Travel Backpack, I’ve found it difficult to choose any other type of bag or luggage for my trips. No need to check bags during flights. The biggest advantage, and what I really appreciate most, besides the flexibility of the Travel Backpack, are the zippers. After 2.5 years of constant travel, daily use, and frequent overpacking, the zippers still hold up excellently.

Hate the bag
on August 24, 2025
Posted by: KL
I love the backpack size and portability. One of the reasons I bought it was for the waist and chest load lifters so it doesn’t strain my shoulders. I hate it, there are no buckles. They have metal little hooks and it is really hard to remember where and how to unhook the metal hooks.

Awesome Travel Bag
on August 21, 2025

I bought this 45L backpack in September 2019 and took it with me to Kenya for a 5 day safari trip. It fit my 100-400mm Fuji lens plus my other camera gear and the rest of recommended safari trip packing list to Masai Mara. The recommended weight is 33 lbs and had to be soft-sided for a bush plane. This bag was everything I expected it to be. It's been my companion on my trips all over Europe and Asia. It's still holding up pretty well.

A dream come true
on August 1, 2025

from Kailua Kona, HI
I bought a bag this past spring in preparation for summer travel and I am SO glad I did. I love this backpack! It's the backpack I want to travel everywhere with! Its color is easily recognizable, its features are incredibly helpful, and it fits all the stuff I need in a carry-on. I love the security features and the different compartments in the bag. It is, as advertised, easy to access from the sides and from the back. And, it's incredibly high quality. Thank you for making such an excellent travel backpack.

Great travel bag
on July 26, 2025
Posted by: A303
Became my go to bag for all travel occasions. Bag is big and durable enough for cameras, laptop, ipad, clothes and easy pack up with PD packing pouches. Shoulder strap is thick and comfortable, less stress on shoulders and back with them. Bag is a bit heavier than previous travel bags I owned but feels strong at all points of straps, so I guess it evens out weight for durability.

Durable and Easily Cleaned
on July 13, 2025

Bought about 3 years ago when I went backing in Ireland, Scotland, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, for about a month. Held up well. Can handle a lot of dirt and cleans easily. I think because its a backpack even when it was oversized as a carryon (fully expanded only certain airlines) I never had an issue I think because its kind of incognito or just luck who knows. Just remember where you pack things when I was going through airport security (this only happened once and I was told it was just because they were training they were being extra formal) TSA struggled to find the "mystery" item which ended up being a portable charger it was a bit of a pain going through all the zipped comparments. Everything was fine just know where you put your electronics or like anything that may be a potential issue because there really are a lot of zippers and compartments (a good thing). Good size for me 5'8 woman medium to broad build (I could see shorter women or short torso people in general maybe struggleing with the weight distrubtion). I have a larger chest (H-cup in case any women have similar worries) and one concern I had was that the chest strap would be uncomfortable but I had no issues. I had the matching travel cubes and toilettires bag which have been used a lot in the three years. The material used is good and i've spilt foundation on it and managed to wash it off. I will be using it on another trip shortly which is why I'm writing this review now as I was reminded while checking the dimensions of the bag to compare to airlines. The side zippers that expand the bag capacity can get caught on the material and are difficult to unstick so watch as you condense the bag but I reconize this is human error and the matieral held up as I got it unstuck so I can't complain much. The price is a lot but I see this bag holding up atleast a decade if not a lifetime even with rough treatment.
