First things first - this is probably the best review on youtube, period. And here are my thoughts when I read all those comments: 1. I think this is a quite good balance between everyday use (20L) with an option(!) of 2-3(?) days trip where the only route when you carry a "full load" would be home-airport/train station - hotel - airport/train station - home. Yes, maybe a bit heavy but not as horrible as some may describe it, I think. 2. Not suitable as personal bag on some airlines? Well yes.. but it depends. Like if you travel with a cheap cr*p like Ryanair you'll have to do some sacrifices anyway.. I usually go with full check-in + small bag.. but still you can probably fit it as Carry on, which is 55x40x20 (cm) for a short trip. For most "normal" airlines you can just squeeze it just a bit to match the requirements. 3. Price... well for this build I would agree that it is a bit overpriced, but having 2 separate backpacks for daily + casual trips is more expensive.. Obviously for people who like short "activity" trips, where you have to carry a full load all the time, Nomatic is not an option at all. That being said, I would love to hear any suggestions on competitor which is capable to do a similar jump from 20 to 30 (I mean comparable jump), from daily to the "trip" mode with a comparable slick design (does not look like a sack) which is important for daily use and similar quality. Thank you!

I have the original version of the Nomatic Travel pack, which I use mostly as a laptop+tech bag. For that purpose, I find it a very good fit for the way I travel. I don't use it for carrying my clothes as I have a rollerboard for that. Pretty much all of the organizational features of this bag are useful to me (great for holding laptop, chargers, cables, power banks, etc.) . I only use the expansion feature if I buy (or am given) stuff that I didn't originally plan to bring back on my return trip. The bag is almost a perfect match for my business travel needs. But there are a few shortcomings - 1) I wish there was an external documents pocket. I don't like having to open up the bag to get to my travel documents. 2) it's clumsy hiding the shoulder straps with the metal snaps 3) the luggage pass-through should open up easier, a lot of times it's a struggle to mount this bag onto the handles of my rollerboard.

This review was extremely timely, as I just received my Nomatic Travel Pack; so thank you. I'm sending it back. A bit of explanation...I purchased the bag with the expectation that it would be a "personal item" bag that could be used under seat in addition to my rolling bag. Due to my need to carry medical equipment when I travel, one bag travel is not possible except for short trips. In these cases, the Peak Design Travel Backpack is my go to bag, since it is large enough to cope with the machine, my meds, my tech and enough for a short trip. However, the problem comes when I have to carry my camera gear. I cannot take my camera gear with the Peak Design backpack alone; the bag is too heavy. What I was hoping for with the Nomatic bag was a pack that could handle my machine and tech, while the roller handles my camera gear, which I can get on any flight anywhere. In this respect, the Nomatic travel pack failed. Dividing my tech gear into the Nomatic bag was cumbersome and the sunglass case (as you accurately described) could not be used because it used up too much space. I could get my gear into the bag, but it required the hip straps and the hip straps were VERY difficult to get on and off, which would be necessary since this bag would go under the seat. In addition, while the pack was comfortable to wear at 20L, it was not at 30L and at 30L it will not fit under the seat. It's a great looking bag. Functionally, however, for my needs, it was not.

I bought this bag & I use it for daily wear and travel. For daily use is good but definitely feel little heavy when I put some items compare to other backpack. For travel it’s good after expand especially minimalist pack like myself. The cons is like Tom mention is the shoulder padding making my shoulder quite fatigue after an hours especially expand and packed more stuff. Also the chest strap if can make a removable that’ll be bonus. Pro tips have to put the waist strap better support & less fatigue on my shoulder during travel. The material definitely are top notch & feel last longer. Overall I love this bag looks and for my convenient, can be use in many ways whether in daily or travel.

IMHO the verdict is way to harsh. I own the "old" version and absolutely LOVE it! The organisation in this backpack is amazing. If you want you can find a desired pocket for everything. Also, this is a great one bag travel option. After storing your stuff at the accommodation you can use this back for shorter trips. I used it for many monthly trips as well and can only recommend it!

If you are going to edc and walk around all day sight seeing etc, there are better and lighter bags. I just had to evacuate my home because of a nearby fire and i tossed everything in my nomatic through it in the trunk and off we went. Laptop, cords, medicinces, wallet, clothes, toiletries. All i needed for a couple days. Good review, but it really depends on what you are using it for

hi, great review, I have the old and yes, for the price, ykk should be used for all zippers, I like that is is small enough for a weekend bag and under airplane seat use (i am 6'6", so most bags are too big). I also wish they went with external and possibly internal compression straps like other companies (I have tortuga and osprey, for example) and I think the expansion would be much more usable and take the tension off of the zippers when overpacked. I use packing envelops and small packing cubes primarily.

Excellent review. I would say the theme of this bag is "2 steps forward, 1 step back" given how it seems that every pro has a con (e.g. sunglasses case storage area impinges on the main storage area, getting in the way of other items like those larger packing cubes). Not my aesthetic, but more importantly, the features don't gel. The Peak Design is much more structured and well thought out. I don't have much use for internal organiation since I like to roll my own with pouches, etc. so this kind of bag wouldn't appeal to me anyway. Lastly, the overall look reminds me of a spaceman or something. Not a good look in my book.

I'm now using the first version of the nomatic travel pack for about 10 month. The tech oraganization is ok for me, but the travel feature failed. I buyed the Bag with the idea to use it for 2 days business trips as alternative to my (more or less half empty) roller luggage to just get more moveability on the airports and in the subways. But in reality, if it's fully loaded it's just to heavy on the sholders and that makes the usage to a pain. Also unexpected for me was, that in "full capatacy mode" the bag is so thick that you really need to take care that you don't hit someone if you turn around. Another point, at least for business travellers, is that you need to move it the entire day... from the conference room to the working place to somewhere else - and all time you have this heavy block to move.

@@PackHacker Hey Rebecca, for the moment i'm still using it but only as Daypack. For travelling im using a combination of a roller luggage with the backpack - it's not perfect but much better than the "Travel Feature". But i will replace it in 01.2020 when i'll get my new (smaller) Laptop and therefor i'll buy a (tech) Messanger Bag and a suitable roller lagguage. I think that this is the best combination for my usage. At least i have a positive point for the NOMATIC Travel Pack as daypack: The compartment in the middle is big enough for a (really) small cooling bag... it's awesome if you spend some hours in a Car or Train (and a meeting room as well) in the summer. But the next project is a hiking backpack for day trips with kids in the (austrian) Alps...

Re: leaving your laptop in the bag, does anyone allow you to do that anymore? I think I've been through security 8 times this year in the US/EUR and I've always had to put my laptop in a bin by itself. I honestly can't recall the last time I was able to leave it in the bag. Seems like an outdated feature anymore.

Hey Jhonby - from the info NOMATIC provides on their site, it looks like they do ship to the Philippines. We recommend reaching out to NOMATIC directly for more specifics, but you can also check out this link for more information help.nomatic.com/article/7-where-do-you-ship-from-and-where-do-you-ship-to - hope this helps! - Rebecca

If it's tarpaulin, it'll be heavy. It'll be durable but it'll be heavy, so it's a compromise. I don't think so it's a good bag with practical volume, simply bcoz they focused on the material more !

Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out which day/travel packs would be effectively water resistant/proof. When walking around Edinburgh and hiking in the Trossachs last week in light rain, I had some wetness with my old LLBean 40L Student backpack (it's been a workhorse for my purposes even though it started life when I went back to nursing school 10 years ago). I haven't seen much addressed in any reviews about this. I don't like the foldover tops and wondered if any zipped ones were waterproof in rain (non-immersion).
@PackHacker4 жыл бұрын
Hey Catherine - most packs are water or weather-resistant rather than waterproof, which is why we always recommend traveling with a rain cover packhacker.com/travel-gear/unigear/backpack-rain-cover/ to protect your pack. However, if you're looking for a pack with some good weather resistance you can check out the Tortuga Outbreaker Backpack 35L packhacker.com/travel-gear/tortuga/outbreaker-backpack/ the Mission Workshop Radian packhacker.com/travel-gear/mission-workshop/radian/ the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L packhacker.com/travel-gear/cotopaxi/allpa-35l-travel-pack/ the GORUCK GR2 packhacker.com/travel-gear/goruck/gr2/ and the Osprey Farpoint 40L packhacker.com/travel-gear/osprey/farpoint-40/ Most packs with a TPU coating will add to the weather resistance too. For daypacks, we recommend checking out the Matador Freerain24 2.0 packhacker.com/travel-gear/matador/freerain24-2-0/ and the Tortuga Outbreaker Daypack packhacker.com/travel-gear/tortuga/outbreaker-daypack/ Hope this helps! - Rebecca
