I bought this bag for camera gear and exclusive use on long distance motorcycle trips. Of all the bags that I considered, this one had the best features, especially the ability to access gear from either the back (where the shoulder straps are) and most importantly, the front. There were plenty of tabs & loops to run RockStraps through and I can access any and all gear without removing the bag from my motorcycle.
I recently purchased the 45L Backpack. I plan to use it on a 2 week trip to Italy this summer and will be testing it on a trip to Grand Cayman shortly. So far, the design and quality of this backpack is clear. It is very well thought out and seems to have all the bases covered. I can definitely get more in this bag than my standard roller bag and I am looking forward to traveling wheels free.
I bought this bag days before taking a trip to Italy. It was my carry-on bag, so it never went through the checked luggage. I only carried it around on my back, no hiking, no banging it around on anything rough at all. Yet, the material looks very worn already after two days. All of the pockets and the expandable space is amazing. In Italy, the two people I was traveling with were both pickpocketed, but Not able to get into my backpack, so high ratings for safety! Overall, I love the bag I just wish it didn’t look so worn after the first use.
This backpack rounded out my travel kit in the best way. Holds a lot and it’s comfortable to wear. My favorite thing is how there were different access points to my gear. When traveling in remote areas of India, including the Himalaya by trains, planes and automobiles, that was the best feature. This bag was clearly designed for travelers!
I received my 45L travel bag a couple weeks ago. I used it to pick up some dry cleaning. It was a lot of dry cleaning, but I got it all I to the bag. I haven’t travelled with it yet, but I watched the informative, and sometimes humorous, video about it many features carefully before making my purchase. I have not seen any manufacturing problems. It is a handsome, versatile bag. If I have any issues when travelling with it, I will post another review.
I bought this backpack for a trip to Italy and I love the blend of space and safety features. Fortunately I watched the video where they go over all the little extras that are included that you might not notice at first glance. I am very impressed with the thought and design that went into this product. The backpack is easy to carry, I loved having my hands free as we negotiated train stations and multiples sets of stairs. Great stuff!
