Weatherproof but not sweat proof
on September 28, 2022
Posted by: The Friar
My first hike with the 45 L Travelbag was on a warm day on a strenuous route. I found it comfortable and rode well. It didn't rain but I sweat through the bag and items in the lower front inside the bag were damp . Therefore I ordered the rain cover as I suspect things would get damper still in a downpour. That won't cover my back and things may still get damp from sweat or a downpour that runs down your back.

Bought for a trip to UK

I bought this pack for a trip to the UK where I needed to be fast and light and I can’t believe how happy I’ve been with it. I want to use it for everything now. It’s built so well, looks extremely stylish yet rugged, and has so many smart features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great bag but not wide enough in the laptop sleeve
on September 28, 2022
Posted by: Big Laptoper
Excellent bag overall. Well made, lots of pockets, lots of room, and the expandable compartments is hella handy. But the width of the pack was just a bit too narrow to fit a 17" laptop in the sleeve, which were my needs. 15" should fit fine, as advertised, but I wanted to see if the largest backpack in the line could fit a 17"-er, and it was just slightly too small in the sleeve, even though the bag itself physically had enough width.

Fantastic bag for travelling

from Norwich, UK
I bought this bag for a 10 day trip in Europe. It easily fitted in all my stuff, with a bit of room to spare. I was travelling about by plane and bus and it was comfortable to carry and I had no issues with taking it as carryon with Ryanair. The quality of the bag is excellent and the features are all well thought out. I received several compliments from people on how the bag looked too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Bag, but....

My wife & I recently each bought 45 liter travel bags for a 3-week trip to Europe. We both really like the quality and organizational capabilities. We did a lot of research and settled on this one. HOWEVER.... on the first day & leg of our journey, I lost the chest strap. I have no idea when or how - maybe taking the pack off or putting it on? I made sure to properly secure it to the shoulder strap. Normally, this wouldn't be much of a problem, but these packs really need the chest strap to keep the shoulder straps from sliding outward. Adding insult to injury, my wife's fell off as well, but I was able to see it fall on the floor.
Everything else here is a really nice pack 5-star pack, but the chest strap needs to be permanently secured to one of the shoulder straps! Hence, 4 stars. Hopefully, the designers read this....

Comes with everything you need - but at a cost

Used this bag as a carry-on for a one month trip. It is huge, able to swallow everything, such as my drone case, jacket, spare clothing etc. External water bottle pockets are huge and stretchy, making it easy to slot bottles, tripods, or any other object you need easy access to. All compartments, straps and handles are extremely well thought out, and everything a traveller could ask for. However, as with all things in life, nothing is perfect.
I faced two main issues with the bag over the course of one month of travelling:
1) The weight of the bag. All those compartments, straps and magnets come with a price - it weighs more than 2kg empty. Add a few more things in, and it suddenly feels really heavy. So it is definitely not suitable as a day pack - much of the weight you are carrying will be the bag itself. But as a sturdy carry on when flying, taking the train between countries, it is more than capable.
2) Chest strap. There does not seem to be a way for the top end of the chest strap to stay secured - it kept coming loose and flopping about.

Overall, despite the cons above, this is a wonderful bag for travelling. It would be perfect for me if it was lighter (or could be made lighter by removing the waist straps for instance).

Perfect bag with so many nice features!

I bought this bag 3 years ago now, and it has been the best bag I ever had. It is well built, and the number of really useful features makes it super practical for everyday use. At first I thought it was gonna be too big for my everyday carry bag, but I found myself using it on a daily basis, to commute, to work, to go on a hike, to take photos etc. I particularly like the little pockets on the sides of the bag, which allow me to put my wallet in a very secure but accessible place. The fact that it can expand is also very good, allowing for some week trips with one bag only.
The only downside for me were the zippers, which wore out with time (and intensive use). But the customer service did an excellent job at solving my problem.
