@@TravelwithYiew can’t say it’s a factor I consider for day to day use for me. However I did notice I couldn’t put as much in it as I liked because of airline carry on weight limits when travelling in the Philippines.
Hi, great review and production. I was wondering if you could also make a review for the Shelter backpack from Tropicfeel. I'm planning on traveling to Asia in a couple of months and I am looking for a convertible clamshell backpack. But the marketing feels really focussed on only a few aspects of the bag. In the video you mentioned that you also used the shelter so was interested in your opinion. And if you could make a review even better! Also subscribed btw :)
Hey! Glad you liked the review. And thank you for subscribing :) I would make a review but unfortunately I've sent the Shelter bag back. So I'll write out my thoughts for you. There were a few things about the bag I didn't quite get on with such as the side and front straps always coming undone and the roll top (I just don't like roll top bags I found out). But more specifically for your use intentions I wouldn't recommend it because the size isn't quite right. It's too big as a daily use bag, and for carry on. Yet it's not big enough to maximise the checked bag size allowance you get on airlines. Personally I would either go with two cabin bags or one large hiking backpack and a sling back like the Wandrd 6L for carry on. I hope that helps. Happy to answer any more questions :)
@@tristbrook thanks for the reply. That indeed answered my questions about it. Might buy the shell bag for a daily carry and for small weeks away and look further for a bigger backpack Thanks!
@@onechilleddumpling thank you! Oooo I’ve not tried all of them yet but I have had the Shelter and my girlfriend owns the Hive. In my opinion the Shelter is too much. Too many straps that don’t stay in place. Not big and comfortable enough for backpacking but not small enough for carry on. Out of those 3 I prefer the Shell. But I’m keen to try the Nest and the Nook as a smaller daily carry option. Hope that helps?
Yes! I've used it as my only bag on Easy Jet or Ryan Air when we went to Scotland for a short trip. I wouldn't recommend maxing out the bags capacity by filling the kangaroo pouch though
This was a great review. I found it after purchasing the bag but it makes me feel confident that I have made a good purchase. It would be great to see a review from you on the wardrobe and pouches for this bag, so that you can put your 'nipples' to good use!
Best review I've seen on this, you deserve more subs.
@@WeiFinder thank you so much. Glad you liked it ☺️
Awesome review!! You need more subs!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
@@BjoernBoy thank you 😁
Nice review, thanks for sharing and also listing some of the downsides!
Thank you! I hope this helped you make a decision. If you have any other questions about the bag I’d be happy to answer them
Great video ! It helps a lot
Thank you! Glad it was helpful :)
Very good video pal, keep it up!
@@mrbladenft thank you 😁
😍😍😍
I love this bag too! But I find that it's a bit heavy even when it's empty. What do you think?

@@tristbrook Cool! thanks for sharing :)

Great and very informative video! :) What is your favorite backpack from Tropicfeel? Can't decide if I should buy this one or the Shelter..

@@tristbrook That helps a lot, thank you so much for your answer! :) I bought the Shell, really looking forward to it.
Have you tried using this bag with a budget airline?
Yes! I've used it as my only bag on Easy Jet or Ryan Air when we went to Scotland for a short trip. I wouldn't recommend maxing out the bags capacity by filling the kangaroo pouch though

Thank you! That's a good idea! My girlfriend has the wardrobe and a few other accessories, so I'll definitely be doing this
