Pakt. Travel Backpack 2.0 35L // New Travel KING?? Plus compared to GR2 34L and CTB35

[@travanw85]

It blows my mind how you don’t have more subscribers. Your videos are excellent. Great lighting, great audio, great descriptions, and you explain things well.

[@JBOutside1]

Thanks! 👍 Tell your friends 😜

[@NightShift_EDC]

These kind of comparison pack out videos are GOLDEN! Thank you SO much!

[@JBOutside1]

Glad you like them! These do well. Planning more!

[@Drebe73]

I have the Pakt 2.0 45L and I absolutely love it.

[@JBOutside1]

Nice!

[@LasseAntreten]

Great video, very helpful. If possible, could you include the new GORUCK GR3 35L in the video and maybe pack everything from the PAKT into the GR3 to get an understanding of how much room organizational features take up? That would be awesome.

[@JBOutside1]

Absolutely!!

[@WeiFinder]

1:57 can "manage" one week? I easily travel *indefinitely* out of 30L and I feel like I have a bunch of extra luxuries. Just came back from 8 months Th/Ph/Vn/Dubai.. in fact I left my Pakt backpack in Dubai to travel 1 month in Palawan with just the matador freerain22. I think I could travel forever out of even that volume tbh

[@JBOutside1]

Nice!! Expert mode unlocked!

[@WeiFinder]

@@JBOutside1 definitely makes you realize how much extra crap one keeps at home that is not really needed ^^.. minimalism is freeing. On that note, my only gripe with the Pakt is that the bag itself is kind of on the heavy side.

[@donkahl63]

Thanks for the great video! When is the Part 2 coming?

[@JBOutside1]

I used these several times with the hope of making them work. In subsequent videos on other travel bags I made some small updates to what I thought. Ultimately this layout didn’t work for me.

[@tiagomoraisc]

CTB35 is amazing! Just using it right now on a trip! (Good timing)

[@JBOutside1]

Yeah, such a great design.

[@rubelukeable]

Just got the CTB 35 and TD 35, and although a bit big for me at 5'5, I love it. I also have the CTB 26 Carryology Xpac and the CPL 24 Carryology as well. Also have the CAP 1 and 2 CAP 2's. Absolutely love the Evergoods products. Thinking about getting the MHP 3.5 sling. What do you like about the sling? as always love your stuff, very informative.

[@JBOutside1]

Very nice! I do love the MHP and the CAS2...just depends on how you plan to use them. The MHP is big enough to carry most EDC gear...planning to do a stand-alone MHP video at some point.

[@thatchanguy]

CTB35 hands down. Beats the GR2 34L and 40L. Just a better use of space and can more easily add stuff if you need to.

[@JBOutside1]

Nice!

[@C69hJc4]

Another vote for CTB 35. Best combo of simplicity, external accessibility, and ease of use. Bullet can fit in the secondary laptop compartment before it’s fully packed out.

[@JBOutside1]

Oh, nice! CTB is a great one

[@Gareths-Travels]

looks a great rucksack , but i have heard that it gathers lint on the surface also i think that the 2 handles on the side would be better if they were closer together for people with smaller hands

[@JBOutside1]

👍🏻

[@Trenchant468]

Boy would I love one of these smaller backpacks with roller wheel set for old ladies.

[@JBOutside1]

🤔 no wheels is the only way

[@Trenchant468]

@@JBOutside1 Talk to me in a decade or two after adding a couple medical diagnosis. Ideally, I agree. In reality though, traveling at all is a challenge, and I can’t afford to spend energy hauling a bag. I like the flexibility of a backpack, but need wheels too.

[@JBOutside1]

@@Trenchant468 fair enough

[@danieltobias3595]

Can the pakt 35L fit size 13 dress shoes or sneakers well? It looks likw that clamshell doesnt give enough space to allow them to stack together at the bottom...

[@JBOutside1]

You’d probably have to for them side-by-side

[@KelvinHew7]

I put the Pakt 35 and CTB35 side by side with both bags packed to the brim. The CTB looked more packed out than the Pakt. Interesting

[@JBOutside1]

Interesting, but I can see that. Volume labels is one of my torches!

[@PanaMaJwaaRd]

Any update on this bag JB?

[@JBOutside1]

Unfortunately the Pakt didn’t work out for me. I ultimately didn’t like the split of the compartments

[@kknopper]

Was that Huckberry patch on your bullet ruck a limited release? I don't see it on their website

[@JBOutside1]

Yes. It was sold on one of there special edition bags quite a while ago

[@mar-mar-marina]

Pakt looks like a beast of a bag, but I feel like my back hurts just looking at it lol.

[@JBOutside1]

Depends on what you Pakt in it 😜

[@DingoOG]

Evergoods Nr. 1 again 💪

[@wokthetalk3079]

I was drawn to this the travel pack for the less attention grabbing (thus less prone to theft or robbery) design, color choices and durable materials used. The clamshell dividers are uniquely practical for a more wrinkle free travel. I like the zip out expansion pack that can also fit the 15 liter day pack while transiting but one has also the option of using it as part of the under seat stowage in a larger commercial plane too. I am guess 45 +10 =55 liters in total would not be accepted at carry-on by most airlines. The 15 liter day pack with that is amazing flexibility both sliding into the expansion pouch or under the seat carry-on is perfectly thought out. The 35 & 45l v2 travel back pack is out of stock and overprice for non US residence. It does not include the 15l day back which is another overpriced $185USD. The daisy chain loops don’t have much of a functional use. The hip strap does no longer double as a fanny pack as like in version 1. I would to compression packing cubes instead of the PakT branded ones regardless of the loops. The clip-on pouches are very expensive for they lack luster utility. There are more functional and cheaper one out there that make more sense. The front 2 pouches can’t be combined into an one cable locking system like Peak Designs 45 liter. The aluminum back stays have been replaced with a cheaper plastic set. The water bottle pouch is not long enough to be used alternatively, as a tripod or monopole & stand pouch.

[@JBOutside1]

Thanks for posting!

[@DaemonViews]

I have an osprey that opens clamshell like this and I love it for that. Just quick my clothes in there. It even has straps. One side clothes the other a pair of shoes and some additional pants and slippers. But I don't like how the osprey and the pakt look. In this size they are probably more useful than the evergoods. But the goruck and evergoods do look better...

[@JBOutside1]

Agree

[@arlencarlson]

Pakt for the win!

[@JBOutside1]

Really a strong contender! First trip with it later this week!

[@arlencarlson]

@@JBOutside1 Same for me this coming week…although with a one-nighter I won’t be packing it out.

[@JBOutside1]

@@arlencarlson same here. 3 days so medium level for this size.

[@arlencarlson]

@@JBOutside1 Well, after my trip...which really didn't pack the bag out to "the max", but did use the Expansion section for part of the trip, I found the backpack not as comfortable as I had thought it would be. Admittedly still getting used to proper adjustments with the load lifter straps etc. I have an Able Carry Max as well, that is more comfortable. But the caveat...it carries less. So when I used that on a trip a few months ago I probably had a smaller load overall...and less heavy stuff (don't recall being able to carry my CPAP machine for instance). So, I tried a smaller load on the trip home with the Pakt and divided out part of the load. Much more comfortable! Also, perhaps the backpack needs to be used a bit to truly "break it in". Time will tell.

[@JBOutside1]

Nice feedback! I will pack tomorrow and be out all weekend...will see how things pack out. @@arlencarlson

[@parryhooper]

I'm debating on the GR2 Dyneema... I mean it's essentially better than my current GR2 as it's over a pound lighter, waterproof and has a quick access pocket.. the biggest issue is that it will not age well. You planning on doing a review? Seems like a great travel backpack.

[@JBOutside1]

I had planned to but haven’t received a GR2 in that style yet.

[@chrisd6193]

Pakt 2.0 Has the best fabrics in a bag hands down and an excellent design. However its really not comfortable to wear for me. Actually hurts my back. quite a bit. Wish it had a backing like the osprey farpoint.

[@JBOutside1]

Bummer. Great materials for sure

[@bobporter7742]

Great setups! I used to have the Pakt V1. This is my current dilemma. Been looking at the CTB35, GR 2 34L and the Trakke Storr. But, I also have a UTA Camino that I have not taken a trip with yet.

[@JBOutside1]

I don’t envy your decision!

[@Crenshawzfinest]

A overhyped travel bag

[@JBOutside1]

Nice. I have seen that one just yet

[@DaemonViews]

@@bingbing2515 calling aer overhyped in a video in which evergoods is present is funny. Don't get me wrong. I have a lot from evergoods. But I also have an aer CPP which I take more often than my cpl24.
