Nomatic Navigator 32L Travel Backpack review

[@MrJoelrobles]

I bought this 32l nomatic back after doing some research and watching this review. Just got back from a 27 day trip in Italy and I have to say that the quality and overall features of the backpack are top of the line. There isn't one feature I didn't like. The product is very well described in your review and it is a top of the line product. However it can be very heavy, packing clothes for 7 days, tablet with charger, documents plus a toiletry and a pair of shoes, makes this bag extremely heavy. It gets very bulky so it makes it hard going thru the aisle of the plane or train and it wears you out fast going thru airports and train stations. In my opinion this is the perfect backpack for road trips, because it fits everything you need and you can put it in your vehicle and go. Highly recommend if you are a strong person that can carry a lot a weight for long time. (I'm not blaming anyone for this, as you did mention how heavy it is, however I didn't realize it until a had to carry it thru the airport, train station and stairs as a lot of places in Europe have a least one floor of stairs before getting to the elevator)

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the epic comment Joel! I don’t think this bag is significantly heavier than other bags in it’s same range - only slightly - but that weight does add up over time

[@ephinefrin]

Not really interested in this pack, still watching it. Amazing quality, content, design and delivery. This channel will blow up soon, the tipping point must be in sight. You guys are next level.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks so much Peter! We are only in our 1st year and are growing fast - the tipping point is in sight! Thanks so much for supporting us on our journey :)

I own this backpack, I have traveled with this backpack to Europe....AND only this backpack. It hauls the clothing and one pair of shoes along with my extensive tech. Even the pockets I thought were useless, weren't. Everything is exactly where it should be BUT I didn't know how brilliant is was until I used it. The small secret pockets were useful and just made me feel better about stashing cash in them. The iPad pocket was well placed. The computer pocket was also well. I love slash pockets because they offer more protection while minimizing the need for full range zippers, as long as you are right handed.The look, the function the quality make this the best backpack/luggage piece I have ever purchased. I am a bag/backpack/luggage whore. I have upwards of 50 bags/packs/luggage. This is my favorite non-wheeled piece. My home to office bag is the Nomatic Travel Pack. The same bag I use to travel on 2 to 5 day trips. I like it for short domestic trips because it fits under the seat on airlines. The Nomatic Navigator 32 L is my go to international bag. The Travel Pack is my go to domestic travel pack and office bag.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the epic comment james! Nomatic is a great brand and it’s awesome to hear that you love both your bags from them

[@viermalvier4x4]

Very good video. I bought this backpack today. Was looking for the best for my back too. The video convinced me. Thanks. Best regards from 🇨🇭

[@Nomads.Nation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BurningGhosts]

That is MUCH too heavy for a backpack

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yea it’s not light

[@guillemsolersuetta5924]

I would love to see on the reviews, comments on how the products compare to their direct competitors e.g. the Aer travel pack 2 normal/xpac versions. Great channel and very in-depth reviews.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the comment! In my opinion the Aer Travel Pack 2 is a better pack. It's a better price point, without sacrificing any quality.

[@safebeauty9162]

Great video, I know this bag is meant to go in the overhead bins - but- is there anyway I could get away with this bag possible being under the plane seat?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Great question! It depends on the airline tho :/

[@ryancruz16]

Very underrated channel! Love your reviews! It would bring it to another level if you guys record in 2K or up as well!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for the love! We might up our game and record in a higher resolution soon :)

[@gregwarren1538]

Do you have any comparison information on this backpack vs the Sympl Travel backpack? They seem to be similar but witih a very different price point.

[@Nomads.Nation]

SYMPL is better at the price point imo. If you have any specific questions im more than happy to answer

[@Viveros26]

I always travel with my carry on and a backpack for my “personal ítem” i have a backpack like 5 cm smaller, do you think that i can use this the dame way?

[@Nomads.Nation]

it will work on some airlines, but not on all as they all have different policies. Please check the specifications of your most taveled airlines and see if this fits their requirements

[@MrApj4457]

Like my backpacks. $400. For this absolutely NOT! love your reviews

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yea dude... it's a steep price.... thanks for the love!

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

good video man, thanks

[@exserk]

Wish there was a 20l expandable to 30l version.

[@Nomads.Nation]

[@kalzone4966]

How do you compare this vs. the 30L travel bag?

[@Nomads.Nation]

They are quite different. This one is much more minimalist but lighter. Plus I think it has a better look. But if you need organisation then the travel pack is a much better bet

[@juliocuevas7082]

Great review. Thank you It was really helpful

After seeing this review in Korea, I paid $430 to purchase this bag. Thanks for the good review.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Nice! Glad to help and let us know what you think of it after it arrives 🤘🏼

[@zanejarecke714]

Seems like this goes head to head with the peak design travel bag. Do you have a favorite out of the two for long term travel?

[@Nomads.Nation]

I love nomatic bags. I’ve used the travel backpack and the 15l navigator as my daily for years. I’m looking at getting a carry on to use for my 3-7 day trips. I’m between the 40l vs the navigator 32-41(expanded). Would you say the 40 can fit more or cuz the 40’s pockets(ie water bottle pocket) go into the main storage the navigator fits about the same? Liters isn’t always the best way to compare.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Ur right, liters isn't always the best way to compare, but yea I'd say that the 40L is maybe slightly bigger

[@jimmyfox231]

[@roberthache2523]

Thank you for your informational review on this backpack and others! I'm trying to replace my Hylete 6 in 1... Looking for something that "mostly" (I can get away with) fits under the airplane seat and also has a laptop compartment that fits a bulky Alienware R1 X17. Do you believe that this backpack in 32L mode might accomplish both of those? I'm also looking at Boundary Supply Errant Pro X-Pac and the Sympl Travel 35L, any thoughts on these would be appreciated :)

[@Nomads.Nation]

All great options but I have no idea in regards to the airline (policies vary) and laptop size. I’d recommend reaching out to each brand and double checking with them for the most accurate answer

[@KiyoAve]

I'm on the fence about buying this backpack. Do you know if the side water bottle pockets can fit a 40oz HydroFlask?

[@Nomads.Nation]

dont have one, hopefully someone in the community can help. Or reach out to Nomatic, they'll be able to give you a clear answer

[@danny8911]

Even camera backpacks are on the overpriced end if they're around 400, and this is just a sleek, but plain backpack with a few elastic straps inside.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yea, it's not cheap, and it's highly debatable if it's worth the price, but I've spoken to some people that were OK with the price and absolutely love it.
