Fantastic Travel Pack
on October 27, 2022
Posted by: sub_urbancowboy
from Portland, OR
I have been searching for the perfect business/pleasure travel backpack for years. For the last several years I have been using a 28l PacSafe which has held up very, very well, but it is only a top loading bag and was too small for 2-3 day overnights packing a computer, charger, shoes and clothes. So far, the PD 30l seems to be the one. Clamshell opening, easy access, not too many straps and pockets, the shoulder strap system is fantastic and I love the expansion zipper. I looked for a long time, tried all of the bigger brands, Patagonia and the like, and settled on this bag. Looking forward to many years of use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome backpack, some limitations
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: km
The design is great. Two things are bothering me:
1) There is a severe lack of quick storage. I get the clean aesthetic but the sleeve for the luggage handle is just wasted space. I wish the top compartment just went all the way down or at least closed with a zipper. Don’t have any interest in putting a backpack into luggage personally.

The second thing is the sternum clasp is hard to use so I don’t use it much. Would prefer something more typical, I know buckles break but the hook is challenging.
Other than that it’s a beautiful bag, durable, lots of space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Way too heavy for mountain climbing
on October 20, 2022
Posted by: I clicked not recommended
from No
Too heavy, not enough pockets on the outside. After I put a water bottle, 2 lens and a tripod. I don't have a space for clothing or even an extra water bottle for my friends. I usually also bring my own container for food but there is also very limited space for that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Backpack at a Reasonable Price

I have this backpack in 3 colors and love them all. The special edition X-pac version from Huckberry is my favorite. Great straps and easy clamshell design combines with a no frills laptop sleeve and quick access pocket make this my “go to” bag most of the time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good backpack

Good backpack. Two downside. The laptop compartment could be easier accessible. And you can only use the storage inside of you take your packing cubes first always.

Girlfriend absolutely loves this

I bought this for my girlfriend after traveling in Europe for 2 weeks with the Everyday 45L backpack. I had a very great experience and have used my bag regularly for several years without any quality issues whatsoever. The travel variant fits the needs for her to travel with and use frequently when not traveling.

Excellent travel backpack
on October 5, 2022

Bought last month specifically for a trip to Europe. Focus was for something to carry on and hold all my gear as well as 3 days of clothes. It handled that in spades. Very comfortable when trekking through airports or trekking through cities. The one improvement I would like to see is to be able to access the laptop/tablet compartment separately without having to unzip the main compartment
I would recommend this to a friend!
