Do you want to help me build a game-changing backpack? 👉🏼 nomadsnation.com/building-a-backpack

I just realized that your label at the top with the name of the bag is how much longer you have reviewing that bag. So if I wanted to fastforward over one bag, it was SUPER easy to do so. NIce touch.

I miss you guys...got busy recently....but wow! This review is what I've been waiting for...amazing! As always! Thank you for this guys!

Aaron, your so crazy, I love you. Thank you for your honest and detailed reviews of so many backpacks, save me so much time, your channel's totally underrated, should have at least 900k subscribers for how funny you are. Subscribed !

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 KZfaq backpack reviewers talked about...

Hey man! Your content is very cool and informative. Just what I was looking for. I hope you get more subscribers, you deserve it.

First time watching your channel. Love the reviews, love the productions, and went on to check a few others on the links and also loved them. Subscribed 👍

I just found you , and I’m really glad , today was a really stressful day and this video make me forgery everything and just focus and your reviews, thank you so much, I’m definitely going to suscribe

Awesome content bro. just the intro/your style is great.

Just subscribed to the channel today. Really enjoying the content. Have you done a review of the Nayo EXPandable Smart Backpack?

Thanks for the review of so many bags. This was helpful. I would like to hear you opinion of the Waterfield “Air Travel Backpack”. It’s emphasis is on luggage.

I like how you reviewed a variety of travel backpacks. I bought a Tortuga Setout 35L women's backpack in January, 2020 for a 10-day trip to India and Nepal before the COVID-19 shutdown. Since I was carrying 25 lbs worth of clothes & toiletries, the load-lifter straps made it easy to walk around with this on my back. Other travel backpacks from LL Bean and ebags lacked them. Sadly, it looks like Tortuga no longer makes the Setout, so I hope that the Outbreaker will perform as well or better than the Setout.

Really great review Aaron!! Ever heard of the Solgaard Endeavor? Seems a similar type of bag and was curious of your thoughts

great video. you deserve way more subs

Good review. Can you review the Tom Bihn Cadet messenger bag? It looks like it may be a good alternative to the Aer Commuter Brief 2 and they're in the same price range

I picked the Tortuga Set Out Divide as it goes from 26 to 34 litres. The expansion area is in the top, so not extra depth in the main compartment. Fitting in most camera cube isn't possible. When I also got a nice out fit to go to a wedding I needed 40 litres, although possibly the Setout 35 litres might have worked. I used a 40 litre packable duffel. I also had a small 17 litre to trek around with and on flights packed all my tech gear (cameras, lenses, tablet, mouse, battery razor, electric toothbrush) into that and the rest went cargo. Internal flights had a 7kg limit and the total was over 13kg even leaving the daily carry backpack would still have been over 12kg. Two bag travel splits up the weight and in cargo I can also store a multitool. Although I was in the tropics (India) going further north the late evenings had some bitter cold winds. A duffle and daily carry back pack works. The Setout converts to a carry bag, over the shoulder bag or backpack. So do a number of other bags including some from Tom Bihn and Nomatic. I had to arrange a USA postal address to get the Tortuga forwarded to the UK. Nomatic is currently not exporting to the UK. New UK and EU import regulations and delays in getting companies in other countries registration for VAT has been the cause and postal costs and red tape increased in the past 15 years.

Would be cool to see a video with bags that can count as personal items. Osprey just released a 26+6 L expandable backpack that looks like a good size.

Just found your channel as I’m trying to purchase a backpack for travel and school. I watched so much of your videos, but still couldn’t decide on the one. I want a lightweight for everyday use backpack that had a clamshell opening with an water bottle holder and laptop department. Do you have any recommendations?

I was actually looking for the Swiss Gear backpack A friend gave it to me and I was looking for a cool ideas of ways to utilize all of the gear the hooks and crannies

What is your recommendation for best carry on backpack that has the straps to slide over carry on suitcase?

Can you recommend good backpacks for size of personal item, especially for Rynair restrictions? You could do video with top list such like this one here :)

Woah I thought u had more subs! Very high quality thanks for the review man!!

Koala Gear - Jay backpack would be a cool review :)

Off topic but I suddenly felt super grateful hearing “everyday carry” instead of “concealed carry”

would you recommend the nomatic navigator 32L?

For peace of mind, I'd still go with Pacsafe Vibe 40L, but the list is great overall :)

Narrowed search down to 3 backpacks. Looking for one bag travel that can manage one week of clothing, tech (laptop, iPad, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, roost stand, and assorted chargers and dongles), and toiletries. Trying to decide between Able Carry Max, Aer Travel Pack 2, or Pakt Backpack. Any suggestions are welcomed. I typically use packing cubes and pouches.

hi aaron, i need a larger carry on backpack for my gal. she says my 40L tomtoc is to small. what do you recommend for her at 50l ish that is more for clothing than office gear. thanks

SWOOP Airlines under-seat dimensions are 16" x 6" x 13". I am searching for the ideal personal item that meets those dimensions. Suggestions?

Briggs and Riley has two convertible backpacks. Can you review them please. The price point is pricey but the no questions lifetime warranty is a deal clincher.

are all of them great with local flights in europe? thank u in advance

I've got 2.5 weeks in Asia coming up, gunna be hitting up a lot of trains, busses, trails, mountains, restaurants, cabins and more... I've chosen the Mission Workshop Sanction (20L) as my weapon of choice... It's probably actually the wrong choice for most people due to its size, I'm kinda doing it as a challenge to see what I can really get away with cutting out of my loadout, and if it really does prove impractical, I have an Aer TP2 to fall back on... Either way, that's just one more thing making me look forward to this trip.

Will the AER fit under a seat? Obviously not overpacked.

What do you think about the Everki bussines 120 aka titan?

On the nomadic travel pack you said it scratches very easy but you don't mean tear or ruin the integrity in any way, right? Just affect the looks...?

I have never understood why backpack producers add the shoe compartment. If you put your shoes in, it takes almost half of the space of your whole backpack. Instead of just putting your shoes in a shoe bag and placing them wherever they fit most in your backpack, they invented this pain in the ass compartment which takes up space even when unused.

Nice. Do any of them have a shoulder strap?

Ya, I will buy a 250 buck backpack and save a few on Ryan air's check in. Makes sense. Jokes apart, great review though!

Great reviews. But what @ the osprey backpack? It’s very popular, did u do a review of that?

The best one is genuine one

AER where is the $1200 version?

Tropicfeel Shell is also great

Expensive!

I hit the like button just for the " Stacy's mom mention". :P

Do any of the backpacks fit under front seat?

If you could get the Nomatic Navigator 32L and the Peak Design 45L for the same price, which would you go with

Are those available in amazon?

I was really interested in the Tortuga but unfortunately it's not there

Hi, I have an Osprey 53L. I’m going to Vietnam this coming January. For my first time. Is this bag too big for a carryon? . I’m traveling for 2 weeks. I want to use 1 bag. I’m going solo.

Is nomatic better than knackpack?

Looking for a carry on suitable for a woman travelling south east Asia. I’ll be working while I’m there though, so I need something that prioritises room for tech. I’m also not the lightest packer so looking for closer to 40L, especially as I’ll be gone for a few months. Tossing up btwn Osprey Fairview 40L, Aer travel pack 3 and Peak Design travel pack. What would you rec for someone who is part adventuring, part digital nomadding? Tysm!

Hey Aaron! and everyone, I'm looking for a new travel backpack and would love your recommendations for my needs. I definitely want one bag that can expand from approximately 20-30L and go from day to travel. I'm really small at 5'1 so comfort is important to me. I don't carry around a laptop so I find big laptop sleeves a waste of space and want a suitcase large opening design with some extra organisational pockets. I was looking at Pakt and Aer, however, I'm in Australia so they run between $500-$650 here which is out of my budget and now I overwhelmed by how many options there are online. Please help!

Is it safe to assume that I can carry this backpack and a carryon?

Dude, Where’s my series 2 Knackpack? 🤔 I did give a thumbs up even though you left my very capable edc/minimal travel bag off the list lol 👍🏾

How much!!!!😮😮😮 Just a a military surplus rucksack its SUPER STRONG military grade for $40 -$20

I like your presentations a lot. However, most of backpacks are too big. Can you please recommend a SMALL Travel backpack that carry 15" laptop and its compact?

Are there some under $100 but still good?

👍🏾💯

Most airlines only allows 7kg for carry-on baggage, so ideally a "one bag carry-on" backpack should weigh less than 1.4kg, or 20% of the weight limit.

I’d love to see a review of the Taskin One.

Those prices are insane

Why nobody is talking about weight? Most airlines set a 10kg weight limit. The Nomatic looks good but it weights 2kg... Most of the backpacks here are super heavy.

Where is Evergoods CPL 24?

It is not carry on, but personal item. Personal item is free and needs to fit under seat. Carry on has larger size and sometimes you need to pay to travel with it.

Man, I just can't believe the prices on these bags.

Korin backpacks are not good?? I think you never mentioned it while other reviewers point out one of the best.

Osprey Porter 46 and it’s over

I cannot believe the way RyanAir expects people to travel. I paid €80 for flights to Sweden and I can’t even have a carry on... Only allowed a bag that fits under the seat. At €80 that is not cheap.

Love all of them but looking for something smaller for a woman Preferably not in black

PHEV’s are a waste of time. I have one now and the extra expense and the low EV range does not justify the additional cost

spanish

Let’s talk about how hot the host is!☺️

30 liters for a weekend?? Thats for a week dude.

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is NOT THEIR luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5OXf9aWzMfec6c.html Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arSWi5WImaqyZ3k.html These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie to the base of the handle, tie to the metal buckle. Thus, it will not slip along the handle. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpapm5ijsKidnHk.html This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your backpack, skiies, duffel bag, carry-on, and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case bag. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 PICTURE RECORD Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. Take a picture of the interior. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 INSIDE IDENTITY Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 HIDDEN IDENTITY Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show. Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS Use 4 ribbons Add 1 designer ribbon colored duct taped handle Stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2” or smaller stencil letter or number or word or your initials to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray the BOTTOM OF THE CASE as well. Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon. Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”. Put a travel sticker on the case. Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE It is less than $15. Tip #7 GPS TRACKING DEVICE Duct tape to an inside pocket a GSM GPS Tracking device. Find them on Ebay. Your iphone can tell you where your luggage is. Is it in another city? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7CbiLZ_rqjXgGQ.html HomingPIN tracker kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ9mdKeju-DMqac.html Gego Tracker kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e69gdLWfqtfVXas.html Worldwide Tracker ...GSM, Wifi, Bluetooth USB rechargeable Tip #8 OLD TAGS, YOUR ITINERARY Remove old trip tags before you arrive at the airport. Remove confusion. Put a copy of your trip itinerary in an outside pocket so the agent can redirect the bag. Ask the travel agent to send you copies. Photograph all travel documents using your cell phone. Tip #9 FLIGHT SAFETY Put laptops, cameras and jewelry in your CARRY-ON. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLd8fNqHvceXn4k.html Tip #10 LET LUGGAGE FOLLOW YOU Choose non stop flights. Choose connecting flights of at least 90 minutes so luggage has time to be transferred to the next plane. Compare white luggage destination tag city code to your itinerary for accuracy. Tip #11 TAKE SCREEN SHOTS OF THESE TIPS Then share them with your friends. Include the Tube Video seen here also. Tip #12 PHOTOGRAPH THIS Your travel plan Vaccine Passport Hotel confirmations handwritten by you. Your luggage, inside and out. Include unusual words spray paint stenciled on luggage by you. Show a close up of ribbon colors. Your destination luggage tag, bar code tag Receipts for payment of trip. If you lose paper versions, you have a backup. Passcode lock your cell phone in case it is lost. Tip #13 LUGGAGE DESTINATION TAG Check the accuracy of the white luggage tag code against your itinerary. You may be sending your luggage to the wrong city.

$200 + usd for a single backpack.... damn I should have gotten a better job. Going to need to save for awhile.

Where are they Ospreys? You have no idea, chump.

I love your backpacks, and we also have some awesome backpacks

There is no "Best, there is your "Favorite". Its subjective.
