I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the uploads with Lauren. She is so clear and concise, the videos do not run too long and she is a wonderful presenter.
Regarding Topo. For the past year I've considered Katmandu, Topo Design, Cotopaxi, and Thule.
My go-to bags that I already have include Osprey, Gregory, Timbuk2, Cabin One (for quik trips) and Deuter.
I do not actually 'need' another bag, but I seem to have a serious bag addiction after a lifetime of travel . Every bag I have has features that I choose for different types of travel so I'm always looking. Every time I see a new review or video I change my mind once again.
At one point I did not care for the colorful design of Topo and it seemed to just stand out as a very millennial type of design (form over function) (?). Then I saw that it comes in black.
This review definitely points out the features which@ I look for in a 40 l one-bag travel pack...... bumping the Katmandu out of first place.
Thank you for all the kind words 😃 They mean the world to us-Lauren included!
Do you think you’ll end up trying this pack? You brought up a ton of great points. We dig the color options on this one, too.
-Eric
My favorite bag! I have the green too. It's honestly so difficult to choose between it and the Topo Core Pack, but they're both great.
Do you have the topo core pack as well? I have it in green!
@@jellyvo I have this bag in green, Core Pack in blue and Roller Bag in Orange. 🤡
@@PaulHo nice! How does core pack compared to the global travel 30? I feel like I can pack more clothes in the core pack, because the main compartment is deeper! I don't know if I should upgrade to the global travel 30 for more space, or just stick to the core pack!
@@jellyvo just different uses, the Global Travel has all the great dividers and compartments built-in where you'd want packing cubes of your own with the Core Pack. It's nice if you don't have a lot of miscellaneous things that need a place of their own.
I watched tens of video about backpack for our 3 weeks family travel to east and west US coast. Finally I found this bag which is the best to me. As I couldn't find a resealler in Europe for the Aer Travel Pack 3 - EXCEPT if someone can help about that, I will get this model !!
thank you for the detailed video as all in your super channel 🙂
Thanks for watching! 😃
-Eric
Could you please make a comparison video with Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L?
I need a backpack like this for my school trip next year to Europe.
It will fit the bill perfectly! 😃
-Eric
I have a Rocky Mountain Underground 40L Luggage Briefcase. It's a beast, a workhorse & there not about it that I don't like. I've been shopping around for one, this one seems to fall short. What are other options on the market???
Having this I am contemplating a Cabin Zero Adv 32L which is lighter. Helps in reducing base weight for carry on only, I hope.
Thanks for sharing! 😃
-Eric
Hi thanks for the video! Do you recall what size owala water bottle you used in the video that didn’t fit?
Can this fit under an airplane seat ?
Hey there Pack Hackers! I have a first gen version of this bag and it's pretty solid. Does this newer version feature a flosting laptop sleeve? The first gen did not. I can live without the bottle pockets but a banged up lappy is a hard thing to accept.
This back pack has the ergonomics of spongebob squarepants but I like the compartments.
😂😂😂
How do these fit underneath the seat of airlines? Think it will work for most domestic and international airlines underneath the seat? Looking for a medium size personal bag for this reason.
I just used this bag on a trip to Japan from Europe. Fitted fine under the seat on KLM/AirFrance. Top sticks out a bit, but no one complained.
More tope desings! please.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along 😃
-Eric
Great video! Does this bag stand up on its own when you pack it out?
Hi! Do you remember what size packing cubes you were using for this video?
Love the colour and design of this bag, but I cannot undo the clips at the ends of the shoulder straps to stow them. Is there is technique to this? Or maybe my hands aren't strong enough
Great review! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching 😃
-Eric
My favorite bag
Do you think this would work well putting a 17" laptop on the inside as opposed to the dedicated section that only fits 15" laptops? I'm looking into a decent quality travel/laptop bag and considering this one.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a 17-inch laptop to test this with! It might be worth trying to find one in a store to test it with.
-Eric
Packed up is it over 7.8" deep?
So basically once you open it there is nothing there, just empty space.
Love this channel!! Just what I need... more bags.
I notice tho your LACKING completely on Maxpedition gear..
There is more than just "tactical". Bags from this brand
They are a few other lines and series that are semi tactical and completely *grey*
And caled down
I have used the stuff for over 10 years and they are absoloutly bomb proof hard use gear.
I recommend a few bags/ organizers/ ect
Sorry for sending you down ANOTHER rabbit hole
I think i'm gonna pick this up instead of the patagonia 32l. Thanks for this review helps a lot.👍
Thanks for watching! 😃
More power to PH !!@@PackHacker2
Thank you for the video. Really like to have this. But I am wondering if i can fit this as i am petite, 5 ft only.
It’s a pretty big pack, but you might be able to manage it! For reference, Lauren is 5’6”. It might be worth trying to find it in a store to try it on before purchasing it.
-Eric
Fit under the front seat of an airplane?
Hey Zia! There are too many factors to say for certain. The airline, plane type, and where you're sitting on the plane can all make a difference.
- Austin
I’m very torn between this and the global briefcase I’m a medical device rep and i tend to fly for either day travel or 1 night trips would the pack be overkill? Thanks for any insight
30L seems like a good size for you! For more information, check out our bag sizing guide 😃 More info: packhacker.com/blog/general/travel-bag-sizing/

Ballistic nylon? 🔫
a travel bag without lockable zippers,...
The zipper pulls can be threaded though the loops for a pretty solid theft deterrent. Let's be real. If someone wants to get into a backpack they will find away. Most deterrents, including locking zippers, will stop casual theft but that's about it.

I bought a Topps Design several months ago...
It was around the $150 area..
It looked like and felt like a $25 dollar grown up kids Walmart brand bag..
Seriously....
Why don't you take 6-7 other same size and $$ bags that are out there
I know that within the last few years you did reviews on those..
But,
Do a side by side comparison..
Comparing features...
Layout...
Materials and function and price...
Let the viewers decide...
After they see for themselves
all the bags all together...
I have and had several $125-250 quality travel backpacks and duffeld and luggage over my 35 years of traveling for the national
American Red Cross all over the world..
Topps Design is the bottom of the bottom when compared to all others in the price range..
Blessings

Thank you for your input! Kathmandu and Topo Design are the only two I have not seen in person and materials are number one with me. Food for thought ...
Topo is one of my favorite brands and their Core Pack is my favorite pack that I own. The #10 YKK zippers that they use are a huge stand out to me and nothing like a Walmart bag. They also make packs that are not overloaded with features so they are often light as well, which I appreciate. Agree to disagree.
I have the Topo 30L (v1) in black, and I was always impressed by the build quality. The fabric, zips, and hardware are excellent. If anything is lacking it's some of the design choices like small bottle pockets, small laptop opening, etc.
I have three Topo bags. Don’t know why you’d say they are like Walmart bags.
The newer Topo bags have recycled nylon, so maybe the feel of the material is reminding you of cheaper/Walmart bags. But even with the lighter feel material, their bags are still durable, imo. I also have many classic and newer Topo bags. All great. Minimal with fun colors.
