    I have the Peak Designs (45L, not the 30L), the Pakt and the Minaal 3.0. They're all great. The Peak Designs failed me when the rivots broke under load while travelling. Admittedly I just grabbed the bag while it was holding a bit more than I usually carry. It was replaced (PD support is awesome). The Pakt is VERY handy but I struggle with it on longer trips. I use it more for shorter getaways of a few days or less. The Minaal is my new favorite. It appears at home in any travel situation. Going to take it on a 2 week cruise in a few months. Packing cubes & a good dopp kit are certainly the way to go with them all.

      @@youngvet1993 sorry for delay but just returned from holiday abroad. I LOVE the Pakt, but longer trips typically require "more" (more clothes, shoes, etc) and while I try to be as minimal as possible, some trips still require additional items (such as a cruise where I need daily excursion wear and dress a little nicer for dinners). I can fit a little more in the Minaal than the Pakt.... although I'm hearing that the Pakt is coming out with a slightly larger size (that may just be a rumor). Either way, all three are AWESOME bags!!

    I feel as a carry on travel backpack - weight should be front and centre of the review. Budget airlines are particularly painful with weighing carry on bags. one airline sets it at 7kg. So that automatically rules out the Pakt at 2kg. A 13inch MacBook is about 1.3kg. And yes - I have my phone, charger, keys, battery and even a book hidden under my jacket to pass through the weigh in. Ive had AER, Pakt, Nomatic, north face duffle and fuse box. all great bags but still trying to find the bag that is light ideally at 1.2kg or less, not overly complicated and strong. Now looking at hiking backpacks as a possiblilty. rain covers are important also but that can be bought separate.

    I have been traveling all over Asia/USA/Australia with a 54 Liter pack. Airlines usually ask me to check my backpack if the aircraft I am flying on is a small commuter prop type. Don't sweat Delta or the major American carriers. The one exception is JETSTAR in Australia/New Zealand, which has not a size but a weight requirement.

    Hi Zac great review,I was looking at Pakt travel backpack,ill be traveling for 10 days in Europe by train ,will the Pakt be enough to use as I only want to use it for carry on and have no check in,thanks.

    • @RushfasterTV
      @RushfasterTV  Рік тому +2

      The Pakt Travel Backpack has a capacity of 35 liters, which is generally considered sufficient for 10 days of travel, assuming you pack efficiently and don't bring too many bulky items. Since you mentioned that you plan to only use it as a carry-on, the size of the backpack is also an important consideration. The Pakt Travel Backpack's dimensions are 22 x 12.5 x 7.5 inches. Overall, the Pakt Travel Backpack could be a suitable option for a 10-day trip to Europe, as long as you pack efficiently and stay within the carry-on size limits. Keep in mind that you may need to do laundry or hand-wash clothes during your trip if you're traveling with only one backpack, so plan accordingly.

    30L is too small. 45L carry on bags are ok for flights in Europe. and is common to see popular trolley bags bigger than size limits allowed on. Not sure about long haul flights

    • @RushfasterTV
      @RushfasterTV  Рік тому +1

      While it's true that a 30L backpack may be considered small for some travelers, the ideal size of a travel backpack depends on personal preferences and the duration of your trip. Many travelers find that a 30L backpack is sufficient for shorter trips or if they prefer to travel light. However, for longer journeys or if you need to carry more items, a larger backpack like a 45L can be more suitable. Regarding carry-on bag sizes for flights in Europe, the general guideline for most airlines is that the carry-on luggage should not exceed certain dimensions, usually around 55x40x20cm (21.6x15.7x7.9 inches). While a 45L backpack may fit within these limits, it's important to note that the volume capacity alone does not determine whether a bag is suitable as a carry-on. The dimensions and weight restrictions set by the airline are the primary factors to consider. It's worth mentioning that some popular trolley bags or suitcases may appear larger than the allowed size limits, but they often comply when not fully expanded or stuffed to the maximum. However, it's always recommended to check the specific requirements of the airline you'll be flying with to ensure compliance.
      As for long-haul flights, the carry-on size restrictions can vary depending on the airline and the specific flight route. Some airlines may have more lenient size allowances for long-haul flights, while others may enforce stricter limits. It's advisable to review the guidelines provided by the airline before your trip to avoid any issues or unexpected charges. Ultimately, the choice of backpack size depends on your travel style, duration, and the specific requirements of your airline. It's always a good idea to double-check the size and weight restrictions with your airline to ensure a hassle-free travel experience.

    • @RushfasterTV
      @RushfasterTV  Рік тому +1

      All of these gears featured are high-quality options that could work well as both work and gym EDCs, depending on your specific needs and preferences. Here's a brief rundown of each option:
      Aer Travel Pack 3: This backpack is designed specifically for travel and has a lot of great organizational features, including a separate shoe compartment and laptop sleeve. It might be a bit too bulky for daily use as a gym or work EDC, but it's a great option if you frequently travel for work and want a backpack that can do double duty.
      Heimplanet Transit Line Travel Pack: This backpack is similar to the Aer Travel Pack 3 in terms of features and functionality, but it has a more minimalist design. It's a good option if you're looking for a backpack that can work well for both work and travel, but don't want anything too flashy.
      Tropicfeel Hive Backpack: This backpack is specifically designed for outdoor activities like hiking and camping, but it could work well as a gym EDC if you need a backpack that can handle wet or dirty clothes/shoes. It's also a good option if you like the idea of a backpack that can be worn in multiple ways (as a backpack, shoulder bag, or tote).
      Minaal Carry-On 3.0: Like the Aer Travel Pack 3 and Heimplanet Transit Line Travel Pack, this backpack is designed for travel, but it could work well as a work EDC if you need a lot of organization and space for your gear. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other options on this list, but it's well-designed and durable.
      Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L: This backpack is designed for photographers, but it could work well as a work/gym EDC if you need a lot of organization and space for your gear. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it has a lot of great features like customizable dividers and easy-access side panels.
      Pakt Travel Backpack: This backpack is designed specifically for travel, but it could work well as a gym EDC if you need a lot of organization and space for your gear. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it's well-designed and has a lot of great features like a separate shoe compartment and laptop sleeve.
      Overall, the best backpack for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Consider how much gear you need to carry, what kind of activities you'll be doing, and how much you're willing to spend. All of the backpacks on this list are high-quality options that could work well as work/gym EDCs.
