Perfect
on August 26, 2024
Posted by: nmharvie
from Bristol, UK
I bought this a a month ago prior to travelling from UK to Canada and the USA. Used for work / gym / commute (on the days I need a bigger bag), train / carryon air travel and day hikes. I can’t really fault it, you can use all the space available very easily, there’s enough rigidity in the back to hold its shape even when not full and straps and handles seem sufficiently sturdy and comfortable. Some might prefer more pockets and compartments but I prefer the openness and flexibility between the quick access pocket at the top and the main compartment that butterflies open. You can be more strategic how you use that so long you remember what you need is on what side and only open that part. Drinks holder seems very sturdy, never drops. This replaces a Arc’Teryx Mantis that broke and is recommend this one for sure, and feels better made!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great travel backpack
on August 28, 2024
Posted by: David
from Malvern, PA
I have been very happy with this pack. I had previously been using a 45L travel backpack and it was just too big. This 30L bag is the perfect size. The material is well made and I especially love the way it can fit packing cubes. I also like the way the main compartment is accessed via a zipper that allows it to fully open when lying flat.

BEST TRAVEL BAG EVER
on August 30, 2024
Posted by: Bob22
from ERIE PA/Bag was used in Italy
I took this bag on a 10-day trip to Italy, and it exceeded all my expectations. With an average of 25-30k steps each day, the bag remained incredibly comfortable throughout. One day, I carried two bottles of wine and a quilt around Capri with ease; on another, I transported five bottles of wine from Ischia to Sorrento without a hitch. The clam shell design was a game-changer—when I nearly got pickpocketed in Rome, the thief couldn’t get into the bag, thanks to how I secured the zippers. Initially, I was concerned the bag might be too big, but when it came time to pack souvenirs and wine, the extra space was a lifesaver.
I even used it as my carry-on in the airport, and it held everything I needed with room to spare.
This bag was, without a doubt, the best travel companion I could have asked for.

A very practical pack for big and small trips
on August 31, 2024
Posted by: LMM
from Dallas, TX
I bought the 30L travel backpack in February of 2024, along with some small and medium packing cubes from Peak Design. I've been on two trips using this bag and the cubes, one for a 3 day business trip and another for a three week trip through Chili, Uruguay and Argentina. This has turned out to be a nearly perfect pack for me. On both trips I filled it with one medium cube containing pants, a small cube with shirts, and another cube with underwear. My 15" laptop also fit in nicely along with various toiletries and smaller items. I found it to be very comfortable on my back and easy to adjust. It has a nice, clean, unpretentious look to it. I also have a Pakt2 and an Aer Travel Pack 3. Although both are a little larger than the Peak Design, I found that the Peak Design turned out to be the most practical to pack and access among the three packs. I am very satisfied with this pack and the cubes. They make for a great packing system.

Perfect backpack for a digital nomad

This backpack is the backpack that I’ve always been looking for.
It fits my 16” MBP perfectly like a glove, and still has a slot for my iPad Pro. There’s a thick enough padding to protect your tech. I love the quality of the material and looks line it’ll hold up nicely in time. I just bought the packing cubes pack recently and it’s awesome with this. Good for 4-7 day trip no problem.

L’ho comprato poco più di 15 giorni fa e già è diventato il mio zaino preferito, dopo anni ad usare zaini della NORTH face questo è proprio stato lo zaino che ha cambiato la mia vita al lavoro. Un prodotto solito costruito con materiali ottimi e gli spazi sono pensati in modo geniale. Complimenti.

Worth the investment
on October 15, 2024
Posted by: Andrew67
from Brisbane Australia
I bought this a few months ago and have now done one short trip and a month long overseas trip with it. Great investment! Its a robust flexible pack that doubles as airline carryon and a large day pack. All the access points make it easy to get at my stuff while keeping the pack secure, and the options to pack up the straps and use the many carry handles or also to slip it over the handle of a suitcase makes it really versatile. This pack took a bit of a beating a couple of times at the hands of tour guides, but it shrugged it off. I think this pack will be with me for a long time :)
