Just received mine today. This is the coolest looking backpack out there in my opinion. I tried at least 3-4 other bags in the $200-350 price range, and returned them all for various reasons. But this one is it!
I was looking for a minimal style backpack but also high quality. There aren't hardly any out there with no branding like this to begin with. This bag also has all the right practical features I would want in a bag.
From the lightweight to really feel like a lighweight traveler with just a regular sized-looking backpack, to the large enough main compartment that actually fits everything you'd need, to the laptop compartment not eating up too much space, to the chest strap for less shoulder fatigue, and the secret compartment. It fits my packing list just right, and I can't wait to take it international in a couple weeks. I'm so grateful that Dylan brought the perfect bag I was looking for to life, and that I can get to use it now. Thanks!
Love it , it is the best and I have been looking everywhere for a good backpack and holy it is good for travelling and really light weight
I just returned from a three week trip to Europe, which included a cruise. I used this bag as a plus one for a carry-on suitcase. It fits perfectly underneath seats. They provided an excellent amount of space for everything I needed. The only issue I had was trying to get my valuables into one of the smaller front pockets to go through security. On the cruise, I emptied the bag and used it as my day bag on excursions. I love how lightweight it is. That is one of my favorite things about it. I originally thought that the straps might be too thin but after using the bag for the past three weeks, I didn’t have any problems. Another issue that I didn’t notice was there seem to be a lack of airflow between my back in the bag which caused some sweating in the summer. This is fairly common with most bags though. The pocket on the inside front of the bag works excellent for storing an extra packing cube. It doesn’t look like it would be good, but it stretches around anything and fits great for that purpose. I’ve begun using the bag as my daily carry now that I’m home from my trip. It just needs all my needs and the weight is a huge improvement from previous bags.
I have bought this backpack earlier this summer. I have experience with the competition (Nomatic McKinnon, Peak Design, Bellroy, even Uniqlos of course :)). I assure you this backpack is a safe purchase. It strikes the right balance between lightness/space/performance/design. I just bought a second one for my wife before our next trip. I realize this sounds like a plug, I just am happy to know help make the right decision.
Perfect condition and a fabulous backpack. It's already my EDC. Can't wait to take it on a trip.
