I just received my Tortuga Lite pack. I’m on the tall side (5’10” or 177cm) and plus-sized. I haven’t traveled with it yet, but the chest and hip straps fit no problem, even though I’m a size 20/22.

@GearfortheGirls 3 ай бұрын

Awesome! It's a really light carry for the size, I hope you enjoy using it!

Great review!! The lose hip belt would be a no go for me. I don’t want to have to gain weight for it to fit my narrow frame. A shame that was overlooked in the design process. Curious, Is there a (removable) frame sheet in the pro? I would have loved to see where the bottom of the straps hit you. I have been finding with big bags, the straps are too long and almost hit the bag, which isn’t a good fit. Happy about load lifters and adjustable fit (I wish more bags had those features) and it looks super comfy. Still, I wonder if a bag that big would fit a 5’5” human with a 17” torso…. It’s been very hard finding a comfy travel bag that fits well. The best fit so far the Goruck2 26L, which is only 18” long, has two compartments and a top notch laptop compartment. But it is super heavy when packed out…and it does lack some features I would like…For short trips, I wear the Tom Bihn Synik but it’s only 22L..at around 18” it fits my torso well. I wish it rose higher on my back… Enough about me. You did good! I always thought an Aer might be a good option to check out. I wonder if Cotopaxi is a worthy/robust travel bag. Their ads pop up on my Instagram feed often….I would love a review.

Aer is definitely a different type of fit, I have never tried the Cotopaxi I will try and add it to the list! Glad you enjoyed the review!! It sounds like the Lite would be a better option for you :)

@GearfortheGirls Күн бұрын

I've traveled with both, i think the Osprey can fit more with packing cubes and it so breathable. The Tortuga Lite is more minimalist and sooo light but for me not as comfy as the Osprey

If you’re going to make it “lite” please get rid of laptop compartment. Many of us travel to get away from the need to be tethered to a computer. Where is a great travel bag without a laptop compartment taking up vital volume?

@GearfortheGirls 3 ай бұрын

Okay that's a good point forsure, it does take up that extra space. I'm gonna be on the hunt for a good travel pack without a laptop compartment for my non laptop travelers!

@Travelingandjournaling9093 3 ай бұрын

I agree

@user-xs6kk6lx2m 2 ай бұрын

I will use that section for some jackets or something because I agree with you , at least I never travel with laptop

@tkdshine Ай бұрын

@@user-xs6kk6lx2m I also agree. However, those laptop compartments are great for when you want to keep flat items in there. Say, a folder, journals, books, etc. I used mine recently for quick to grab items that were relatively flat.

I can live without the admin pocket (I do like a full-length admin pocket, though), but since they didn't include one I really wish they at least made that side access front pocket as large as they did on the Pro version. Also really wish there was a tablet sleeve in the laptop compartment since I often have to travel with a work laptop and then bring my iPad along for a personal device (and again, since there is no admin area with a large pocket to put a tablet in). I was really hoping this bag would be a no-brainer for me when I heard it was coming out, but ugh! So, so close! I still may get it though. Lots of great things going on with this bag. I've had the Tortuga Setout 35L for years and it has been nothing short of awesome, so I definitely trust their bags.

@GearfortheGirls 3 ай бұрын

They really do have great long lasting bags! I understand the frustration with the no tablet sleeve. It is meant to be just a very simplified travel backpack tho, maybe just try it out and see if you can pack it to your liking because it's such a lighter carry!

Amazing, I just looked for a lite review yesterday so thanks for that! Actually I’m really pleased, I felt like I was drowning in the bulky pro straps. I actually don’t use most of what they got rid of. Do you think the lite can handle more clothing now that the admin panel is gone?

@@strandreayes! Without that front admin pocket it just allows more in the main compartment. More room=more clothes 😁🙏🏻
