My daily bike commuter backpack (30L Travel)
on April 14, 2025
Posted by: scuderiaseb
from Stockholm, Sweden
I commute by bike 11 km to work and 11 km back and I love it since I get a little bit of exercise but then I need a good backpack that can store all my clothes, a towel and some toiletries so that I can take a shower. I bought this bag about 2 months ago to replace a 10 year old Thule backpack that was 24L that was almost always a little too small and poorly designed since the small accessories were fighting for room in the bottom of the bag that was always the most packed part of the backpack.
I'm so happy I bought this bag, it's 27L in its non-expanded state but that actually feels so much larger for some reason. My old backpack always felt so small when packed and this one handles it so gracefully and I've only needed to use the expnaded 33L once when I was carrying a lot and got a bouquet of flowers which I could safely strap to the outside of the bag. My toiletries and other essentials are at the top quick-access compartment and it works so well, not only does it have great organization and is easily accessed, it doesn't compete for space at the bottom.
My cycling bottle does fit on the side compartment but that is the only con I can think of that they're pretty narrow and I wish they were a little bigger. I was also a little worried about people writing that the straps were uncomfortable but that has certainly been untrue in my case. It's the most comfortable backpack I've had by far. I've had my backpack loaded very heavy and it was still pretty comfortably distributed and the sternum strapped helped. However I was "just" biking then for 30 minutes and not walking around all day with the backpack.
I can't wait to go on my next trip where this will be my carry on. So very happy I got this bag!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect “one bag” travel bag

Very happy with this bag! Quality is amazing and it’s the perfect size for a weeks worth of clothes and toiletries (in the peak design small wash bag) AND I can also fit my tripod inside the bag as well as my 3L everyday sling (which houses my camera and lens). I’ve not even had to expand it to 33L, I’m comfortably running it at 27L.
Being able to travel internationally for a week with only this bag in the overhead locker is amazing.

REAL travel backpack!!!
on May 17, 2025

When I first received the Backpack in the mail, I thought it was dumb. Now that I have traveled with it for 2 years i realize what a great Backpack it is. I have PACKED this thing completely full then yanked on the zippers, they never brake. Then it comes with stow away belly straps which work amazing to help strap it to a scooter or motorcycle..... then it has all of these little loops on the outside that seem useless, with 2 straps that have hooks... but in reality you can use the straps to hold the Backpack to your motorcycle. Then hook them to the little loops... you can also put suff in the outside of the backpack, like a jacket, rain coat or flip flops. Then use the straps and little loops to hold things on the outside of this backpack.. if I could make 1 tiny tiny change it would be to make the backpack about 2 to 3" longer and to expand 1 inch less. Sometimes when I have it completely full it almost won't fit in the over head compartment on smaller planes.. but then it would probably be to long of a backpack for short people... anyways I'm rambling on, its an amazing, well thought out backpack with great build quality... straps this bad boy onto a motorcycle or jam it completely full of souvenirs. It's won't fail you!!

Almost Perfect

The only minor thing would be the poppers to make it smaller frequently pop open when putting things in it. Other than that it’s perfect
