[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient collapsible backpack, just the right size, it may be risky to put your laptop in it, it wouldn't be fully protected but just the fact it's collapsible is great

The handiest backpack I've ever carried in my travels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love this! I got it to replace my older travel bag and this one is way better made and more functional. perfect for trips where you'll need a smaller daypack. the water sleeve is an amazing feature too!

The delivery required a little extra effort, but the Nomatic staff was extremely helpful.
I'm looking forward to using it on my next vacation.

After looking at 5 upper tier brands, I purchased the 31 L pack and then returned it for the 41 L pack. Since purchasing this backpack several months ago, I have used it for both car and airline travel. The DSLR medium module fits my Z8 with an L Plate, a Z 100-400 lens, a Z 24-120, a 20 1.8 and a Z 1.4 extender. The protection is excellent. In the storage above, I have never used all the room. Within the roll down portion I commonly carry my toiletries, a rain coat, a down sweater, filters and sometimes a change of clothes. The smaller pockets carry keys, sun glasses, a card wallet, a few cleaning supplies, charging gear, ear buds. The long front zip pocket stores my wallet and phone going through security and a book. The computer sleeve will fit my 16 inch Mac-pro or my Air iPad.

This is an exceptionally made bag, very sturdy construction. It is also very versatile with the interchangeable divider modules and the extra upper storage capacity. The luggage dolly is an essential for me in airports. With the design and rugged construction, I feel comfortable taking it on hikes. My travel tripod or a large water bottle fits nicely in the side pocket. I can buy the large DSL module to take a second body and more lenses for a photography specific trip.

The negatives? The weight. It is a big bag so be prepared if you load it up. Also, remember that as purchased, it is only water resistant. With heavy rain, the backpack rain flap is important. 

As for airline travel, the 41 L has always been considered my personal item. I only carry on no matter how long the trip. I guess I could get burned one of these days considering the size, but I doubt it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is ideal for the office, short hikes, walking around town and for long trips as well (as an add-on daypack). Seems durable so far and is low profile.

I love this backpack. I've used it multiple times within the first two months of purchase. Very easy to take a 17-inch laptop and a few other items are thrown in, along with a light jacket. The best uses have been on travel in Hawaii. Super easy to store in my carry-on bag and when I got to Hawaii was able to use it as a daypack at the beach, pool, and hiking Diamond Head. It easily held some water bottles, a book, a beach towel, and more. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sizes of the backpack collapsed and expanded are just right. Also really like the sturdy construction and that the straps can take a lot of weight when the backpack is full.

Have not been able to use it yet as I’m getting ready for my trip. I like what I have seen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made, collapsable in a decently shape and size. Good for an extra bag on your short or long term trips
