In case you don't know Wandrd.
Wandrd is a small company based out of Utah. The founder of Wandrd found that there were three distinct categories for backpacks -
Adventure bags with bright colors and lightweight materials
Camera bags which looked like boring squares
Everyday bags with stylish designs
He decided to create camera backpacks with the style of everyday bags and the comfort of adventure packs. A decision was made to make the camera part of the bags modular so that they can be sued as normal backpacks, because nobody is a photographer 100% of the time. That way the packs can be used normally for day-to-day use, but when the need arises, they can become camera packs too.

Mine just arrived this week. I’m a big time Wandrd user/lover who already owned the PRVKE Lite and 31.” The reason I got the large 41” model is to carry a medium format kit (Fuji GFX 100S + multiple lenses).

Nice review style!👍 I would like to suggest a video comparison for "best videomaker backpack", imho the bag should carry a body (bmpcc please?😁), 3 cinema lens, handles and various accessories, a monitor, multiple battery/1 or 2 v-mount, media storage etc... Bonus points if it can carry: gimbal, steadycam, mattebox, tripod with video head or other big equipment Keep up the good work💪📽

Great review… loved the presentation. An orange or light grey interior and I’d have been ordering this over the PD45 I was deciding between, but man, that’s dark and my eyes ain’t getting better as I get older! I have no idea why bag manufacturers put so much thought into pocket design, styling, carry configs and then at the last hurdle give us a f*****g black hole! One last detail guys!! Thks for the share.

@Brandon-0028 2 жыл бұрын

You know, I had the 31 for a couple weeks and sent it back. The material has it's water resistance, but seriously... wouldn't the smaller sizes look killer in a Dark Multicam and orange interior? I liked the bag in general but found the side access difficult to get the zipper around and not a fan of the outer material. I am someone who really likes roll-tops, when there is alternate access like this one. However the front pocket was useless for anything other than a jacket (for me). I don't care for vertical pockets. But I did love the overall lines and compartmentalized space inside. I needed better organization. That top stash pocket was pretty awesome though. Lastly that massive g-hook on the front is way too large and almost obscene to me (as a designer). I do agree those zipper pulls are very nice! Great video as always guys!

@@Brandon-0028 thanks! What would be your recommendation at around 40l? I have the Peak Design Everyday 30l. It is just about right for daytrips with one child but I will soon have two kids and need some more room. I would need quick access to some smaller items like wipes, diapers, sunscreen etc. but also room for changing clothes and maybe two water bottles. I sometimes travel some days for work so a laptop compartment would still be great.

@Brandon-0028 2 жыл бұрын

@@HannesHanath So I've had the PD 40/45L Travel pack and it was almost perfect for travel. The outer (expanding panel) is ideal for upwards of 8 button-downs flat packed as it acts as a compression cube when you zip the expansion back down. My only complaint were the straps, however I think they were edited in the newest release and hopefully more comfortable under load. I know what you mean as I have 7 year old. For my 1 bag travel I use the Mission Workshop Radian which is a little more my style aesthetically, with some of the Archive attachments. I flat pack a thin daily carry bag inside which takes up little room at all. I have heard great things about the GR2 40L and its on my list to try out. When there is a destination trip, I use a Zero Haliburton carryon, and a variety of day packs/edc. Currently its the Bellroy Apex, which I love.

Is it possible to somehow lock that roll-top? Can you pass a cable lock where the hook goes on the roll and then lock it into the hook or something?

How tall are you? Do you think this would look too massive on a 5'7 guy? I want the 41L to use it for traveling but also for just daily carry, I do carry a camera and tripod but that's it for photography so I'm struggling to choose between this and the smaller one

@Nomads.Nation 2 жыл бұрын

I’m 5’8. It’s not massive for your size but it’s pretty massive for an everyday carry (unless you carry a ton of gear that is)

@brackodejacko 2 жыл бұрын

I've owned this bag. I've packed it out and the padding on the straps are not sufficient. These are the same straps that they have on the lite version. Couldn't agree more on high vis interiors though. I don't understand why they are so resistant. It really makes such a big difference. I love Wandrd, but these are things they need to correct. Hopefully v3 lol.

I owned one of their smaller roll tops and ended up selling it. I used it about a year or so and that is when I learned that I did not like roll tops. You can’t see what is in your bag especially with the black interior. They are great looking and nicely made bags. I just felt like the roll top was more trouble than it was worth. I have learned my ideal bag is a clamshell style because you can unzip the whole bag to acces your stuff or just unzip it partially to get what you need quickly.

@Nomads.Nation 2 жыл бұрын

100% agreed. Rolltops look amazing, but they cannot touch the functionality of a clamshell

@madacaphoto 2 жыл бұрын

@@jb.6196 yes it does open up clamshell from the back but if you want something from the top that is a different story. Still one of the best bags I’ve ever owned. The newer ones looks even better with more organization.

For such a large pack, you'd think it could hold a 17 inch laptop. I'm not the biggest guy, so I would've liked to see some more shots of how it fits on the body fully packed out.
