Thanks for the vid!
I was looking for a new travel backpack & after watching your review of Aer Travel Pack 3, I bought it.
Awesome! Please let us know what you think about the bag after testing it for a few weeks 🙏
You've nailed all of my favs too. I use the AER the most!
I also love the Osprey Porter and Fjällräven Slpit-Pack
I’ll have to check those out 💪🏾
Thank you for these! Many are in my top 3 list, but I ended up going with the Knack Pack v2 and Aer Travel Pack Small bc I have a shorter/smaller frame (loving both, btw!). So many bags are wayyy too long for my torso 😫 any additional short torso recs would be greatly appreciated!
two amazing bags - honorable mention for both!
Great, thanks for the reply. I have a short/smaller frame as well, so will look into the two you mentioned above.
@@tuyetcong-ton-nu1388 glad to help!
Had never seen that Wandrd bag before! Really like most of your list. Another great video. Hope your own bag makes many lists!
Appreciate that David! The WANDRD bag is pretty rad to be honest! (But personally, I'll take Minaal over it any day 💪 )
This is the best backpack review channel on all of UA-cam. Been watching for 2 years now. Bought the Travel Pack 3 because of your review. Can’t wait to buy your Fyro backpack. On the hunt for a good 30-35 travel backpack for leisure trips that doesnt weigh 4+ lbs. just bought the nomatic travel pack but too heavy
Thanks for the kind words and support!
Great roundup... I have the Minaal 3.0 & Peak Designs 45L Travel backpack. LOVE THEM. I'm surprised the Pakt Backpack didn't make the cut. I have that one too (I know, good bags are addicting) and it's probably my "go to" for most trips.
Love the Pakt Bag - should have an honorable mention for sure
Insane roundup as usual. Have been looking to up my pack game, but with all the awesome options out there it gets a bit overwhelming.
Trying to decide if I need an EDC bag or a smaller travel bag with some highlighted here on my list (Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L, Alpaka Elements Pro) and the rest pretty much smaller siblings of what you have in this video.
Primary use cases are driving into the office, taking my toddler around town, and traveling with a carry-on suitcase + backpack. When going into the office, I carry a 13" MPB, notebook, iPad, 18oz Yeti bottle, and a couple of pairs of glasses in cases. With the kiddo it's usually that, plus her extra clothes, plate / utensils, and a water bottle for her. When we travel, her stuff goes in her own backpack, but I add a 13" MB Air 2 (personal laptop), and usually a couple of packing cubes.
Must haves:- Clean look for going into a tech office- External water bottle holder(s)- Separate laptop storage area / suspended laptop storage- Luggage passthrough- Quick Access pockets (preferably easy access to laptop)
Sorry for the detailed info, but would love to see your recommendation. Love your content and looking forward to seeing your bag come together!
thanks dude! For me a 30L would be a bit big your your needs, but I also prefer smaller bags for my EDC. I think you should be able to get away with something around 24L, but it's impossible to say for sure. Maybe check out the Able Carry Daily Plus and Modern Dayfarer Backpack V2. This video will help as well ua-cam.com/video/yh1yEC4nw5c/v-deo.html
@@Nomads.Nation thanks for the response! The Able Carry Daily has been high on my list after watching your reviews and will check out the Dayfarer pack.
@@danielconrad9797 glad to help!
@@Nomads.Nation ended up getting the able carry daily plus through your links. Thanks again, it's awesome to see a creator who's engaged with their community like you are!
@@danielconrad9797 awesome dude, and thanks so much! I'd love to hear what you think about the bag after you test it for a few weeks
Great video as always. I may suggest reviewing some of Evergood's backpacks/slings.
Thanks dude! I have reviewed many of their bags - hoping to review more soon :)
great round up of a lot of the standard stuff out there. surprising how heavy they all are, and how those prices just get you the one bag - now you have to go get dopp kit, day pack, pouches, etc.
thanks mate!
Love the peak design. I have it and have had a blast with it on many trips over the past year
its an amazing pack for sure!
Great video as always. I'd love one done just on under seat packs/bags just like this. I'm 6.3 and long backed. I think the last green pack you showed would fit me well?
I think the WANDRD bag will fit you great, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you I don't think, way too big.
@Nomads.Nation thx I still like overhead use pack as well.
@@markpuffer9615 💯
Can I ask what backpack would you recommend if you want a camera and like 2 lenses with you safely? Don't have to be in a quick access slot.
im not a photographer, but I know that the videographers on my team like the Peak Design Messenger, WANDRD Duo and Peter McKinnon x Nomatic 25L.
Great video especially with the additional full review link. You guys Should review the LTT Backpack.
Appreciate that! Hoping to do an LTT review soon
Would be good to see a review of a ~40L backpack with wheels. I need to replace my now "too big" 50L carryon so thought a smaller one with straps might be nice.
There aren’t many out there that I know of, but I’ll keep an eye out
Fyi Eagle Creek and Osprey both make convertible wheeled carry-on size bags with backpack straps
@@liorajacob8094 I haven't tested any wheeled-bags yet but I've heard some very mixed opinions on comfort and how heavy they are
@@liorajacob8094 thanks. Yes, both Eagle Creek and Osprey are nice, also, on the budget but still decent quality side, High Sierra has one on sale for $55 right now. We wanted a type that is more used as a roller but still a decent pack. I ended up getting a "Hynes Eagle" for $85 on Amazon. In fact, I liked it enough that our 2nd one was just delivered today for my wife. Weight is 5.5# and it's a 42L (21x14x9).
Excellent presentation...It could very well lead to a late, very needed Christmas purchase...question about the insurance: on our last trip we had a big bag delay (took 5 or 6 days to reunite us with the lost bags) on a trip to South Africa (frequent travel destination). Because the trip was so busy, we didn't get around to filling out all the paper work until after the "time limit" to file a claim. Is your insurance better than that? Really felt nickled and dimed out of a proper claim.
Thanks! As for your question I’m not 100% sure as I have not had this exact situation with them. I’d definitely reach out to their support and see what they say - let them know we sent you 💪🏻
Any plans on reviewing the Stubble & Co everyday backpack?
none on the horizon, but hopefully soon
Sympl Travel Pack for the win! I LOVE that thing!!!
you are quite the Sympl fan aren't ya?
Huge fan!!
@@Fnick-dl6pg clearly haha
A great compilation as usual. Keep up the excellent reviews. Have you fully assessed Evergoods CTB26? It works wonders during my travels
cheers! And no, trying to get one from them as we speak... to no avail yet lol
Call me crazy. I got both the Phoenix 2 and CTB26 and they made me smiles on the road any given time! Good luck in your quest in building the next level backpacks bro!
@@kamb8860 thanks dude
Awesome review. What’s your opinion about Ogio renegade? Thanks!
Thanks dude! Haven’t reviewed it, but it looks extremely well made and functional (albeit, a bit of a ‘dad bag’)
Thank you for the help and information
Happy to help
Hello and thank's for all your videos...y have a question please..all the bagpack have a computeur compartment...but if y don't have computeur or y don't travel with..where can y found a bagpack ( like the aer..or alpha one niner evade ) but without computeur slot...?
Thank's
I’ve never actually reviewed a travel bag without a laptop compartment - so I’m not sure. Probably hiking bags would be your best bet
@@Nomads.Nation thank's..for your reply
I had the Huckberry-Peak Design collab and the only issue is the padding on the straps. I made mine packed out for a week and they would start to dig on long walks.
my only knock of the Peak Design (I have the 45L Travel backpack) is the rivets used on rotating shoulder straps can give under heavier loads. I had one fail on me so I'm reluctant to take it on longer trips (the rivet popped which made one shoulder strap useless). But the bag otherwise is phenomenal. Their service is amazing too and they replaced the bag.
yea their strap-game is controversial at best lol
amazing that they replaced the bag!
@@Nomads.Nation Loved the idea of how the straps tuck away so simply (leveraging magnets to keep the rear panel in place) but the rivet used to allow them to pivot was questionable. Granted I was carrying more than I normally would, but it gave when lifting the bag.
@@dave.in.oregon you’re the first person that’s ever told me that, so hopefully it’s an extremely rare and isolated incident
Hi there, have you done a review of the Briggs & Riley ZDX convertible backpack? if so, where can I find it? thanks!
Have not don’t any Briggs reviews yet, hoping to soon!
Awesome review and great presentation. Subscribed for good!
Thanks for the sub!
I have a lot of tech - prob need a 45L. Any thoughts on one travel backpack that can hold its own for more refined travel and also for the more rugged off the beaten track trips?
Maybe Boundary Supply Arris, WANDRD Fernweh, or a big Osprey bag
Any of them 3 way/convertible ( having a separate )?
What about the LTT backpack? Do you have an upcoming review on it?
It’s highly requested, hoping to have a review up sometime this year
Really looking for a bag for plane travel ie each access to stuff in tight places, each access to passport etc, and then the same bag for day trips when at the destination. Don’t need the bag for hold my entire life while traveling. Not sure any of these are it! 😢
I think many of these hit that criteria…
Any have a separate shoulder strap to carry like a messenger bag?
Black Ember Forge
great post ! the reviews is helpful !
Thanks so much!
God blessed this people that do this type of videos
❤️
Having a you go time deciding between the Minaal 3.0 or the AER Travel pack 3
if comfort is more important to you - go Aer. If lightweight/streamlined is more important to you - go Minaal.
I should copy the words of the previous commenter as well (ha ha). You have heard me comment on some of your other videos about the new upcoming bag that is my latest obsession. So I think you may be editing this video soon once you can get your hands on one-Pakt Travel Backpack V2. However, your list is very comprehensive. There are truly a lot of bags out there, and a lot of options for varrying needs. So your concluding comments were spot-on.
Can't wait to test out V2!
I prefer the YOREPEK Travel Backpack, Extra Large 50L Laptop Backpack. I've used it for both local and overseas trips and it works great! Has a USB port, is water resistant and fairly ruggedly build with a strap to attach it to your rolling luggage. I did add a cross strap to make it more comfortable for me to use but others might not need it. It has a 4.7 rating from over 44K reviews and only costs $28. $28 bucks!!
I’ll check it out - thanks!
I have to rave about my Wolfpack backpack so durable. The 45 L fits overhead bin their 35 L and smaller under fits under seat
I'll be sure to check it out!
I actually have a few of those bags from the list and ironically even though they are listed as similar sizes I find they all pack different amounts.
its true, no all same size bags carry the same
@@Nomads.Nation what's the biggest 35L you own? I've backed the Transit Line as well. Trying to decide if I go for the 45L or the 35L. I took the Elements Travel pack 35L with me for a week to Portugal and found it pretty good and comfy. It fits under an EasyJet seat too. Kinda want the same from the Wandrd but not sure if their 35L will pack more without expanding. Their other 45L hexad access is great but its a big box and that one I definitely couldn't get away with under a seat lol
@@agent_pires 35L Tortuga Travel Pack probably the biggest
@@Nomads.Nation ok here's something interesting or maybe not. I was checking tortugas website and the listed dimensions of both the 40L and 30L aren't indicative of their capacity. The dimensions of the 40L indicates 38L volume (capacity might be less due to padding and shape as with all bags) and the 30L is 30.3L so realistically probably a 26-28L bag. Where's I can see other brands dimensional volume is more than the listed capacity as it should be. E.g Able Carry Max is 33L volume but listed as 30L due to shape and padding. What's Tortuga playing at then?? 😅
@@agent_pires I'm no expert, but like you said there are often other factors that cut into the volume of a bag (like padding, pockets, features, etc). The only real way to measure the volume of the bag is by doing this (www.osprey.com/stories/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Screen-shot-2012-03-05-at-10.32.43-AM.png) which I trust Tortuga has done
Great list!
appreciate that!
Hi, which bag do you recommend that is light for a petite woman traveling for 15 days internationally? Thanks for the review. I also love the Tom Binh Aeronaut 30L, will you do a video on that bag too?
No plans to review TB yet, hopefully soon! Is this a one bag trip? Or will you have luggage with you? What’s important to you - weight, security, aesthetics? Also, how heavy do you pack? It’s a very tough question to answer but provide me more details and I’ll do my best.
@@Nomads.Nation I plan on one carry-on and one backpack for our 15-day trip to Asia. Weight and an easy way to maneuver/carry the luggage are my priorities. As light as possible and luckily going to Asia means no heavy clothes! I would appreciate any suggestion(s). Thanks.
@@tuyetcong-ton-nu1388 ULA Dragonfly is considered the best light bag out there right now, but I haven't reviewed it yet. Aside from that, Bellroy Venture Ready Pack, Bellroy Tranist Backpack, Minaal Carry On 3.0.
@@Nomads.Nation thanks, I will check it out! Maybe your new bag will be ready by next Feb 2024?
@@Nomads.Nation I just checked the ULA Dragonfly and it's perfect. Alas, it is not available. Looks like it's so popular that they ran out of inventory for it! Hopefully, they will restock. I like the accessibility features and the lightweight! Thanks for the great suggestions.
Looking for a backpack that can fit my Victus 15 laptop and camera with a 25mm lens. I'd prefer bright yellow but not mustard yellow any bright color will do just not any bland/dull color like black, gray, white or any color that is dark.
Check out bags from Topo and Bellroy - lots of color options
This is a good one!!
thanks dude!
How does the Osprey Farpoint 40 compare to these?
More comfy than many of these but not as great for tech. I did a full review on the older model - be sure to check it out
Great reviews… what are your thoughts on the new Graphene X Limitless?
cheers! I have reviewed it and it's in line to be published. It's an interesting bag with some VERY unique features (like the thermal pockets, helmet net, and double laptop sleeves) but if you don't need those features then I would have a hard time recommending it over more established bags like the Aer City Pack Pro
great choices 👍👍👍
thanks keith!
Still looking for a bag on one of these lists that I can get here in NZ.
technically you can freight forward them anywhere. Check out our new Bellroy Venture review - great travel pack that should ship to you
@@Nomads.Nation Ideally I'd really like to be able to hold the product in my hands before committing to buy.
@@NicholasWongCQ yes, that preference will greatly complicate things for you lol
Aaron, I love these reviews!
However, its hard for me to make a decision about buying something without seeing, feeling, trying it in person. I'm going to be taking a 1 month trip through southeast Asia in November. Mostly Thailand, cambodia and vietnam. I'm 5'11" and about 225lbs. If you were me and money wasn't a factor, What carry on bag are you going with to take the most in terms of clothes and supplies? keep in mind I'm only bringing a laptop, power bank and phone in terms of tech. Maybe I'll invest in a good point and shoot camera, but nothing too crazy. Thank you again for these reviews! by far they have been the most informative! Keep them coming!😎
thanks dude! That's a really hard question to answer cuz it depends on many factors.
How light/heavy will you pack in regards to clothes? You can bring 3 t shirts and do laundry every few days and travel as light as a feather, or you can bring enough clothes to never have to do laundry the entire time.
Do you plan to fly a lot, and if so are you trying to always carry on your bag?
What's most important to you? Lightweight? Comfort? Security? Features?
also you should watch this if you haven't already - ua-cam.com/video/CbsJ2mxuJwM/v-deo.html&lc=UgwOmjPiZXZcqiZWhfx4AaABAg
I'm probably looking to bring 7-10 days worth of clothes. I'd like to carry on if possible. Might be outdoors and in the elements quite a bit. I'll probably bring my grail water bottle (kind of large). Would like to have a lockable compartment or 2 for my laptop and passport, etc... the tortuga is on my list, but so is the Aer, and others.
@@MrHolbie43 Tortuga and Aer are fantastic choices - go with them.
Missing the BELLROY 38litres Transit Plus Backpack!!!
Honorable mention!
Need a best travel slings video next
coming soon! :)
Hey, thanks dude! I'm curious, is Tropic Feel good? Looks very interesting. And, for let's say 6 weeks in SE Asia, is Alpaka or Aer better?
Skip on Tropicfeel. Alpaka is great. Aer is best.
@@Nomads.Nation I just saw the Roark mule. For 6 weeks in thailand and bussing, trains,, that looks nice. I think 35 ml is Aer looks to small for a linger trip. What suggestions do you have for longer backpacking. I did 11 months straight a decade ago and my osprey 65ml was like a home.
@@Nomads.Nation Do you know Roark?
@@kevinumber7 never heard of roark no. If you need bigger, the Tortuga Travel Backpack 45L is my go to. Ain't cheap, but it's the comfiest travel bag I've ever tested.
@@Nomads.Nation so. Tortuga and Pakt. I know you worked on pakt, but Tortuga (40L) looks a touch better. Am I off? I'll get one of those two. Use your links to help out
Can you please do this for garment bags?
Great suggestion! I've added to our wish list
Thanks, very useful. I wish some had wheels
cheers! backpacks with wheels sound like a good idea, but usually don't work well (at least in my limited experience)
Do any of these come in beige/white/off white, or any light colours? 😊
Peak Design for sure. Also check out Bellroy
Aaron, I need to do 3 days (2nights) in different city for work and looking for one bag pack BUT i also sue same bag as EDC so looked at your video about bags that can be compressed, either way one backpack that can be used for EDC which one would you pick out of :
Peak design backpack 1.4 kilos 30L
Minal Carry on 3.0 35L 1.41 kilos
Knack medium backpack 1.4 kilos 24L moves to 35L
Alpaca Elements backpack 35L 1.6 kilos
Able carry max 1.7 kilos 30L
Aer TP3 1.8 killos 35L
If I had to pick one of these for an EDC I'd go with the Able Carry Max cuz it's the smallest that I like aesthetically. But even then it's pretty big for an EDC. The Knack Pack is the most practical out of all of them, but I personally don't like the look (but I gave it to my buddy who is now obsessed with it - so to each their own). Nomatic Travel Pack is another option. Or just bring a small compressible backpack like the Aer Go Pack 2.
@@Nomads.NationAaron, you are the best. If i had a small packable EDC, which out of them would you use as one bag? Also, can i add black hole 32L Patagonia to confuse the matter
@@abhishekjoshi171 I don't like the Black Hole for travel - poor access. I don't understand your question about the small packable EDC?
@@Nomads.Nation I apologize for any confusion in my previous message due to my dyslexia.
I've been considering various backpack options and I was intrigued by the Black Hole backpack since it's only about 900 grams. However, I also really appreciate the 'Able Carry' design. The only caveat is its weight, which is approximately 1.7 kilograms - the same as the X-Pac Aer TP3. The Peak Design backpack, on the other hand, is a bit lighter at 1.4 kilograms.
Without compromising on access or pockets, should I go with Able Carry or is there a different backpack not on my list that is around 30-32 liters but lighter? I'm eager to find a balance between weight and functionality. I do cycle/bike so thinking light weight few less grams will be nice hard to find bag that is (a) light weight (b) around 32L (c) is one back pack (d) can be used as everyday carry
@@abhishekjoshi171 all good, check out the UGA Dragonfly. It’s all the rage on Reddit, I haven’t reviewed one yet but they should be back in stock soon. Check out the review by George Defined too
Traveled the world with the 20oz Revomax insulated flask. Hands down the best water bottle I have ever used. One handed opening and perfect for cold/hot/carbonated drinks. Please review. Would love your thoughts!
Thanks for the rec!
Would it be foolish to get both the Aer Travel Pack 3 Regular AND Small? Or would it be more practical/flexible to get the TP3 (regular) and City Pack Pro? 28L Seems like it's the right size for me. I am worried 24L CPP will be too tight as i have a 22L and it's already too small. My goal is to fluctuate between EDC, USA Budget Airlines, and my flight to France without requiring overhead compartments. Maybe I am trying to check too many boxes?
more bags = more options, so if you have the budget I wouldn't say it's foolish. Having said that, I think the 28L is the best of all worlds as you can pack a lot and it'll fit under a lot of seats
@@Nomads.Nation Thank you, Aaron. I sincerely appreciate your input.
@@verynearlypure glad to help!
What do you think about Thule chasm?
Haven’t tested it yet - I’ll add to our wish list
My Aer Travel Pack 3 is suppose to come in today. I hope it's worth it!
you'll love it... I think! haha let us know what you think of it after testing for a few days
@@Nomads.Nation Thanks, I th ink it was one of your videos that sold me on it too.
I've been doing so much research lately for travel that everything kinda puddles together.
But what sold me on the bag was someone said it has that "Aer comfort feel." Or such, and you mentioned it again in this video.
@@nauscakes1868 I often use the term 'the Aer mattress experience'... and it's very accurate lol
By any chance do you have a recomendación for a backpack under $200 dollars ? For international travel
We are shooting a ‘best budget travel bags’ video in a few weeks. Some brands to check out are Tomtoc, Mopak, Deuter, and Amazon Basics
Can you make a Video for European Airlines? We dont really need such big bags. Often the max size got carry on is 40x30x20cm. If it is slightly different it doesn't matter. But 50 or 60cm in hight is too much. The limimits are for example wizzair, ryanair, easyjet.. I dont find any good bag this size.
great suggestion! We'll research this and add it to our to-do list
I believe you may be referring to the dimensions of a personal item (not carry-on bag), yes?
I'd love some wisdom on this, too!
@@donny1546 💯
@@donny1546in Europe especially with the cheap airlines you don't have personal item. You just have carry on and checked luggage
Any thoughts on the Airback?
Looks very cool! Hoping to get one to review soon
Tortuga just looks like a beast compared to the Farpoint 40. Can you really pack the same in those?
I don't have the newest version of the Farpoint 40 so I can't say for sure. But also the Tortuga is 45L
Still waiting patiently for the Mous backpack full review 🙂✌🏼

So which is your top recommendation for 3 night work travel, want the ability to take take clothing and the laptop, compress for office once clothes removed.
5'8" squad ❤🤣
I was surprised you didnt include Evergoods products on your list 😢
Amazing brand, but I usually think of them more for EDC, at least in my reviews/experience
@@Nomads.Nationyou should try their CTB 35. It has been my one bag solution for international travel for over a year.
Cant decide between Sympl Weekender and Aer Travel Pack 3 X-Pac.
Can't go wrong with either. I'd let size dictate your decision - if you want something a bit smaller - go with Sympl. Need a bit more space? Aer
Actually I wanted to buy the Tortuga Outbreaker. But unfortunately it is no longer produced. The successor has 5 liters less volume. They remove the 2 front pockets and also the rounder corners are less stylish for that backpack. Very annoying. Unfortunately, that puts Tortuga out of the race, for me.
I like the way you present the Gear.
Keep on going with what you do !
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks dude! I did a review of the new Tortuga Travel Pack and I think I like it almost as much as the Outbreaker… be sure to check out the video

Thank you, i went to Suburban but i guess they are all sold out of AER products but it was nice to see a bunch of other bags in person.
@@shanecavette3716 all sold out? wow, guess business is good for them!
maybe you should also look at North face shutter daypack. i think its better than this list of 11
Will do!
No Osprey bag?
love Osprey - honorable mention for sure!
Aer travel pack 3 or nomatic travel pack? I can decide
Both have their pros and cons and unique use cases, but for me personally the ATP3
@@Nomads.Nation how bout the ATP3 vs matador SEG28? I’m worried with the ATP3 if it can hold a 32oz water bottle or not
@@HungryYett I can't say for sure about what water bottle either would hold, that's best to ask the companies themselves. Please let us know what they say!
@@Nomads.Nation what’re your thoughts on the matador seg28? You got a review on that?
@@HungryYett yup! Check it out
Bro come to tsim sha tsui chung king mansion for any marjuana, hashish and coke.

What a great roundup here. I got the 40L Aer Capsule pack after seeing your review (its no longer made, but they still have the 35L on final sale). I love that thing because I like having one large space. Though those Sympl and Wandrd bags, I can see a case for having two sections, as you get good visibility to everything at once, once opened. Also sorta serves as built in packing cubes if they have the mesh over the section. I'm the sort that unpacks the whole bag at my destination, but if I moved rooms a lot and kept everything in the bag and just worked outta there, I'd like those two.
I never got the underneath the seat front bag thing, like, my feet belong there. If its a long flight that would be unbearable. I wonder if people are just traveling over weekends.
So stoked that you love the Capsule - I was sad to see it get discontinued. Having a bag underneath the seat in front of you isn't necessarily about comfort, but more about traveling with a bag small enough to never have to be separated from it... ever
It’s also about not having to line up and compete for overhead space.
@@Rollingstone2009 ahh, I see. I play the credit card points/miles game so I'm just use to having status to board a little earlier I guess.
@@Rollingstone2009 correctmundo!
@@jonuiuc me too! but I stopped being loyal to any airlines and now just use points for the Chase Travel Portal, which works nicely for me. What's your card/airline of choice?
Oh man, how'd I miss the review of the Wandrd Transit 🤦♂️, they should have the 30-35L which might be better suited. If I didn't already have a Prvke 31L that would be my bag.
Random ?, do you have any reviews up of bags with rollers too? My wife is not the biggest so sometimes when she's loaded the bag heavy she would like to roll it...just wondering, if not, maybe food for thought for a future video!
Unfortunately I do not. I’ve tested the one from Osprey but those bags are so heavy and clunky… hard for me to recommend but might be good for some
The OG Peak Design Everyday 20L backpack is the best backpack for travel, hands down. The latched opening top is amazing when flying, you throw the backpack on its back under the seat in front of you it is dead easy to grab snacks, food, a jacket, anything and open and close that top easily. Also because the top capacity is expandable via that ladder latch system it makes it easy to throw jackets and sweaters in there. The side storage in the side flaps is awesome too and you have the hidden straps that act like tie downs for external carrying stuff too.
Great point, definitely an ideal airplane-companion for all the reasons mentioned. Keep an eye out for my bag that I'm making though - it takes the same design principles but in a different way and really elevates the accessibility
@@Nomads.Nation I will probably buy one, I love having lots of different bags and slings and pouches. I have everything from $10 backpacks to Peak Design and Wandrd backpacks. If Nomatic made their bag without Peter McCanon's name on it I would probably own one too. LOL
@@venom5809 we share a similar obsession lol
What about Pakt?
Love Pakt, definitely should be included as an honorable mention at the least
IMO any > 30 L is too much, otherwise get a suitcase w/wheels because your bag will likely be too heavy. If you insist, revisit because you’re likely overpacking, and if you insist even more, I guess that’s your style after all :)
I'm basically at this point as well for my personal travels - 28L or under - and even then I'm still getting forced to check it due to weight restrictions. It's getting hard out there
Hi chi Minh Vietnam shout out woohoo!
One of my favorite cities in the world!
How to buy backpack❤❤❤
❤️
I like THULE. But so far I only have KALIBRE, EIGER, and TORCH from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I’ll have to check them out!
Sure thing. The best brand from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Peak Design
one of the best
I think you know what I'll write and what backpack is missing : D
Comment for supporting :)
Bellroy Apex? ;)
@@Nomads.Nation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can go wrong with a GoRuck GR1 Heritage
so ive heard, gotta test one of those
Alpaca is very good, Sympl is beautiful, but Aer... mmmm
It’s a great time to be a backpack-nerd 💪🏾
@@Nomads.Nation it's good to be self-critical he he he
@@nenotanc 💯
I have the Sympl Travel Pack and damn it’s good! So functional, stylish and it’s tough as nails. I use it for all of my trips and it still looks brand new.
@@Fnick-dl6pgagreed, I
I think the PakT backpack is way better than the aer and Tortuga, and the version 2.0 just released.
Definitely an amazing bag! They are sending me 2.0 to review soon - I’m very excited to check it out
Bought the Peak Design 30L .. sold the Peak Design 30L ... didnt like the bag one bit. the Straps comfort is probably the worst that I've ever used.
yea this is one of the most recurring criticisms of PD
really sad to not see the bellroy transit backpack in this video with this title....
great bag! Deserves an honorable mention for sure
They are all too big for my liking. I'm currently using the Thule Crossover 2 (20L).
Thule is a great brand, can't wait to check this bag out myself
@@Nomads.Nation I'll keep an eye on the video 😉
@@paolaroblesgil keep an eye out but don't hold your breath 😂
@@Nomads.Nation 😂 it's fine! I'll keep watching other videos as well. I'm always looking for a new bag. It's an addiction 😬
Nice bags but ridiculous prices
you get what you pay for, backpacks included
Less dangle. Less problems.
truer words have never been spoken
I spammed 10sec skipping button after he told the price of every bag hoping there would be cheaper bags
We’ve done some more budget-friendly roundups as well, be sure to check them out
Thoughts on doing a similar video for budget backpacks / travel packs?
Just ordered 4 packs on Amazon for this exact reason. Video should be live in a few months 💪🏾
@@Nomads.Nationnice. I look forward to it. May I suggest that you take a look at Osprey. Their design is a little more utility than your usual packs but I’ve used one as a EDC for the last 6 years and it’s still good as new. Used by the Special forces here in the Uk but some of them are immense for travel. My budget £50 30 litre has almost everything a £250 pack has. For the money they are top quality.
@@avs040288 love Osprey, one of the best brands out there. We've done a few reviews by them but need to update our stock as no longer have any of their newer bags
Hmm, I must be the only person in the world who doesn't travel overseas with my laptop.
Built-in laptop/tablet pouches are so annoying because you can't really put anything else in it.
there are many like you, but most urban bags will have the laptop sleeve. Maybe check out more outdoorsy/hiking bags.
Interesting video but I kinda wished I kept a count of the times that the words ‘international travel’ were used… must of been 20plus … 😂 … sorry but I think the phrase was overused even it was part of the title..
🌎
Several of these cost as much as a very nice SUITCASE. 😳
Some more, good bags ain’t cheap
Why does it always have to be black
Wheres some good backpacks with some more popping colors >:(
a lot of these bags are offered in multiple colors, but the end of the day most people prefer black/grey bags cuz the materials don't get 'dirty' as fast. Some colorful suggestions though - anything by WANDRD, Osprey, Topo, or Cotopaxi
You want wild colors, Cotopaxi is your jam. Topo is nice too, even North Face has nice colorful backpacks.
@@venom5809 honorable mentions for Bellroy, Patagonia, Peak Design (some products), and Day Owl
@@Nomads.Nation I thank you, I have like 3 new things I wanna buy now :D
@@stitchowi glad to help
As usual, Goruck bags are ignored
I've heard awesome things about GORUCK! Hoping to review one soon :)
Temu cheaper
😎
@Nomatic warrenty: I bough a Nomatic backbag in 2019 and in 2021 the zips were brocken. So I'll tryed to contact them but... Nomatic stops there business in Europe. So there was no warrenty for my bag and that's why I would never buy something from Notmatic once more.
I had the same zipper issue on my Nomatic backpack, hopefully it was 2019 just before they were forced to stop their activities in Europe. I have sent them a few pictures and they have sent me a new bag. But yes their zips are not YKK and their quality is not at what you should expect at this price point.
damn, that's unfortunate. Did you try to reach out to their new brand Gomatic?
@@Nomads.Nation It was the periode during the switch from Nomatic to Gomatic and no one responds my requests. I was trying it for 2-3 month and than i thrown away the bag and buy a Bellroy Transit.
@@FakeJamesHolden ah that's unfortunate, hopefully the Transit is an upgrade for you!
36 liter CabinZero , It's Good for Travel? Abroad
I’ve heard good things about it but never reviewed myself
