    I love my Osprey Porter 30. I tend to be minimal, and had 0 issues packing for any weather. Multi use items, quick dry clothing and packing cubes are necessary. However, being 5'2", I love the fact my pack fits under the seat so I don't have to fight the overhead bin battle. Pretty comfy, laptop fits, holds everything I need and reminds me not to over pack. My fave.

    Marmot Long Hauler (M/50L). It’s made 3 mission trips to Africa so far and use as my only bag/carry on. Weather resistant so stands up to the rain and dust as it travels in the back of a truck from one Bush clinic to the next. Duffel strap becomes shoulder straps and remove for stowage when needed. I can go 2 weeks out of this one bag. Liked it so much I bought one for my wife when she joins me on the mission trips. Love them!

    I love the the “Weekender” from Adventurist Backpack Co. it meets the criteria for a personal item, and can be used for a 3 night 4 day get away using eagle creek packing cubes. It’s square, so it will fit under the seat in front of you on most budget airlines. It’s also great for day hikes, and a every day backpack.

    I have the Peak Design as my travel backpack. I like the simple sleek design without all the stuff on the outside. I snapped the top to it to make it look smaller and for a sleeker contour rather than boxy looking. The main reason I chose this backpack was for the security features it provides when you are traveling in crowded public spaces. Unfortunately this is something none of the CZcams backpack reviewers talked about...

  • @RetroDiver
    @RetroDiver Před 3 lety +10

    I've had the Tortuga Outbreaker for several years now, and love the materials used as well as the comfort on the back. What I don't love is the clamshell opening is to the side which means part of the zipper is on the bottom and is taking on the load. I haven't had any issues yet of the zipper giving, other than it pulling away from the stitching, but over time I can see this being a weak point.
    I also wished the shoulder straps were hideaway to make it easier and to stow in overhead compartments or under the seat. This would also protect the straps from dirt and damage.

    • @geraldmcmullon2465
      @geraldmcmullon2465 Před 3 lety +3

      Having the straps on the Tortuga Setout Divide hide away was so useful. I had a small carry on backpack because of limits to 7kg on internal flights and had scissors and multitool packed in the Setout Divide to go cargo. So at the airports I carried the Tortuga as a shoulder bag. Otherwise everything packed inside.

  • @SkipperJane
    @SkipperJane Před 2 lety +3

    I have the North Face Travel Duffel Pack (37 L), which I love. Sadly it’s no longer available. I like the full clamshell design and padded laptop pocket. It has less organizational pockets, but I really like the look and the fact that it came in navy rather than black.

  • @moetube1337
    @moetube1337 Před 2 lety +4

    Definitely check out the Mammut nirvana pro 35, although it's meant for skiing/snowboarding, it's perfect for traveling, as well as an everyday backpack. 35l capacity, accessible from the back as well as from the top, removable hip belt and loads of other things that come in handy 👌

    I've mentioned it in an earlier video already but the Nomatic Travel Pack (v2) is my go-to. Availabilty in Europe, design, versatility thanks to being expandable 20-30l... I've used it as my daily driver for university and work as well as for week-long trips and even trekking. The only downside for me - it's quite heavy.
    Also, thanks for your informative videos!

    I use the Tom Bihn Tristar. It isn't great if you want to go hiking in the Himalayas but awesome as a travel backpack. Great organization, quality is top notch, and you can carry as a backpack or as a shoulder bag with the shoulder strap. I used it for month long travel in Europe a couple times and it was plenty of space, comfortable and kept my stuff organized and accessible. Tom Bihn makes a packable daypack that doubles as an extra large packing cube that i also use to throw the essentials in when just walking around.

    I have a Aer Travel Pack 2 Small, and I love it! Even though is the small version (28l), I think it has more than enough space for several days/weeks on the road (doing laundry, of course!). I love the "shoe" compartment because usually bags like this do not have separated compartments, and I find it very handy for organization. For me the only downsides are the zippers that are too big, and I would like to have the compression belt on the small version as well, so I could hold a jacket on it.

    I have both the Eagle Creek's Wayfinder and Global Companion. I bought the Wayfinder first and replaced it after two trips with the Global Companion. The Global Companion far outperforms the Wayfinder in both useable space and fit. The Wayfinder has lots of small, impractical space, no way to compress the load once packed, and no way to adjust the load on your back. The Wayfinder also has a very narrow belt that does not support the load well and cuts into the flesh after just a short time. I would highly recommend people try both out FULLY LOADED in a store prior to trying to take a two week trip with either. The Wayfinder was miserable for me compared to the Global Companion.

    I know is somehow unpopular in your channel, but I'm in love with the Patagonia Black Hole MLC. I simply don't need to be discreet anymore, and it's organisation and built quality keeps being outstanding in the pioneer of one bag travel.
    For shorter trips or lesser volume needed I have a Millican Marsden. I find it has a clever design and looks at home either in town or in the mountains. I don't understand it seems to have been discontinued but, as you mention their Fraser The Rucksack, I simply needed to point to what I consider their travel backpack par excellence...

    Don't want to miss my Farpoint 40 which is kinda unbeatable especially on overland trips (car, bus, train). But since everything including sofa pillow and wardrobe fits in, I generally tend to carry too much of stuff with it. Found out that it is challenging to really travel light on plane, but came to the conclusion that even something like my Salewa Chip 22 can do the job. For sure a crazy piece of a pack, weights one kilo less than the Osprey and I surely didn't expect at all that my wife's 17" laptop fits in. Or that I could pack, using it as shopping rucksack at my destination, a complete box of 24 diet coke cans in it.

I really like the comfort and the bright inside but stylewise there are definitely more minimalistic ones out there now which I would prefer but I will stick to my trusty old one until it falls apart....but if this moment comes your videos prepared me to make the best purchase. :-)

    I use the Arc'teryx Bora 40. It's about 12" by 22" and fits EXACTLY the airport carry on bag max size. Bought it April 4th 1999, this is the first day of 2023 and it is still going strong even though I use it almost daily. Carry groceries in it, take my lunch etc to work in it and of course camp with it. I have taken it on many week long camping trips where it carried all my gear except food... and there is a spring right on site at my favorite campground so I never take water. Powdered milk, sugar, teabags and titanium cookware though. It is heavy... but I motorbike camp, so np.

    If you are not a back pack fanatic, you may try Nomad Lane duffel bag. They are just the best for travels! Very spacious with a lot of compartments!

      Sounds like you've got a great system going on here, Vanessa. Hopefully, you'll be able to start putting your Fairview to use this year. 🤞

    My one brand I love is ESHENA gear, currently I have the Bamian pack 17 and it's my go to for everything with all the accessories, and it out performs most of these packs on the video that I've tried but never really liked

    • @SteezyG
      @SteezyG Před 3 lety

      Bruh I just checked the 17 pack out with accessories.... 3.5kg.... that's absolutely massive. I don't think I could recommend that to anyone at that weight. At least it works for you...

    Ridge is kind of an odd place to get a backpack... but I really like my ridge wallets, so I figured I would try the commuter backpack. It fits a 15 inch laptop, and is weatherproof. I've had the odd chance to try that out. Even in absolutely pouring rain, no water made it into any compartments. Ended up buying the duffel bag too, since I was happy with the backpack.

    Very nice video. I didn't want to spend much this month but... I'll check out 4 bags and maybe I'll get one xD
    I recently got the Thule Landmark 60. It's a 40L main backpack and it comes with a 20L daypack that can be attached to the back of the main pack or you can carry it in the front. It's like the Osprey Daylite system with buckles.
    I always watch your videos and I can always find something that I would like to get. It's unfortunate that most things are so hard to get (at an affordable price) in Europe though.

  • @jakejones4946
    @jakejones4946 Před 2 lety

    kifaru... you should check their options out, would like to hear your thoughts. Generally my favorite packs... I travel to remote areas in South America for work... and even after researching a ton and watching a bunch of your videos, I think I´m going to go for one of Kifaru´s options for the smaller travel pack I´m looking for (needs to slide by as a personal item, but expand as needed).

  • @YoutubeTravelerSoloVagabond

    I need something that is really tough but at an affordable price for continuous backpacking, and around 40L so maybe just at the size limit for carry on. Seems as though the Osprey is a decent price but as you mentioned it gets some rips over a years time.

    My favorite by far is my Rockland wheeled backpack. Allowed as a stowable carry-on in addition to my 22" spinner. Fits easily under the front seat in an airplane or the overhead. Wheels put that weight on the ground not my shoulders.

    How do you feel about the cotopaxi? I am looking for a smaller travel pack given I'm 5'1"...that will be durable and will hold up well..

  • @dutchbachelor
    @dutchbachelor Před 2 lety

    Savotta Jääkäri / Jaeger M. Tough as nails, simple and yet flexible. Extremely well made. Maybe it does not have as many bells and whistles as many other bags as it is mainly designed as a hiking / bushcrafting bag. Still I could easily envision it becoming my go-to travel backpack.
    The only real downside I see is that there is no additional padding towards the bottom to accomodate electronics (not surprising considering the intended use), so you'll need sleeves / pouches for that. But it is very narrow and sits tight on your body, so running with it is no issue at all. Ideal if you are trying to catch your flight and have to pass through crowds. ;-)

  • @jeffa.evans-fineart1711

    Hi. I am a travelling artist and am looking for the right travel backpack and have a specific criteria. I would like one that accommodates a clipboard that is approx 18.5" long by 12" wide. The width isn't really a problem. Though these online descriptions give dimensions, its not so easy to know what those dimensions mean in a backpack. Currently i use an REI travel backpack that ive had for a number of years and its wearing out. It has three top loaded zipper compartments (one is for a laptop) and a front side zipper pocket. Functionally this pack is great for all of my supplies save for also being able to include the clipboard. This ability would be most desirable in my next backpack. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
