The Expandable Travel Bag: Tropicfeels Shelter Review

I've been searching for a good one -bag travel kind of bag that checks a bunch of boxes. and I think I may have found it. It's expandable, has great organizations , is well made and has a chest and waist belt, hip pockets and even a hidden pocket for a passport. The only way to check out these packs in real life is to order. They have a 30 day return policy.

I pre-ordered two of these from Tropicfeel for my wife and I when we travel. We really wanted to love these backpacks but in the end we were not satisfied and had to return them. There are some great features, however for a backpack that can accommodate up to 66L the main straps are not nearly as adequate as needed. The main component of a backpack are it's shoulder straps and Tropicfeel could have done a lot better here with the Shelter to provide some more padding and comfort.

[@AdventureMuse]

I agree! The straps are pretty sad for an expensive bag, but I love the Expanding feature. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

[@TheKingOfTheClouds]

Did you find a suitable alternative?

[@marvinlopez6130]

Great video! Just ordered mine today. And also. Hey, you actually should be able to remove the lower sternum straps. It’s a Velcro piece that connects hidden inside a slot, and you should be able to un Velcro and pull it out. Also, the whistle should be able to fold out a bit and then you should be able to blow on it lol

[@AdventureMuse]

Thanks for the tip on the whistle! like I said, probably operator error. LOL. yes, I should have pointed that out about the hip belt! hope you enjoy the pack.

Hey, thanks so much for the review - there are very few of this backpack yet! I've just bought the backpack and the laundry bag in their BF sale, but I'm still unsure whether I should keep it, as so many people keep on saying that the straps are really uncomfortable after some time. Have you by any chance already taken it for a trip by now? And if so, what did you think of it during this trip? I'm planning my longest backpack trip yet for next summer, it'll be about 4 weeks, and I really want to have a practical backpack. My shelter bag makes a good impression at first glance, but it IS still pretty expensive, so I'd like to hear what other people thought of it after taking it for a trip.

[@AdventureMuse]

I did take it on a two week trip. There is a review o my my channel.

[@TheBooban]

I want that but with wheels also. Travel bag that size should have wheels. It’s only sometimes you need to carry it on your back.

[@petr-podrouzek]

SUPER 🙂🙂

[@AdventureMuse]

Thanks, you’ve motivated me to take my drone

[@gabrielerusso4679]

Hiii amazing review, really specific for what i need! But i was wondering, at minute 6:24 what were the dimension of the backpack in that exact moment? Because it's exactly how i will travel 🤣😊

[@AdventureMuse]

It was the TSA size within a quarter of an inch, which since it's a soft bag I could squish it if I had to. I didn't have any issues on USA and international flights but did check it on a small airline in Europe. I did another review after using it on a two week trip. Happy travels.

[@gabrielerusso4679]

Thank you very much! Really appreciated 💪

[@IncusSchmincus]

​@@AdventureMusehey! Did you use the rain cover from the backpack itself to check it in for the flight? Did it work without problems?

[@annaisangulo696]

Did you end up buying the dry day pack? I’m considering purchasing

[@AdventureMuse]

No, I never did.

[@danilapolimeno1386]

Hi! 😊 Nice video 😊 Sorry to bother you. I wanted to buy this backpack too but I’ve read lots of complaints about the shoulder straps and now I really don’t know if it’s worth it.. is it really so much uncomfortable to wear? Someone even wrote something about shoulder bruises..

[@AdventureMuse]

No bother. They could be more padded, but they are not bad. I was a little disappointed when I first saw them, but had the pack loaded and on while I was filming and thought they were comfortable. You have to adjust it to fit and use the hip belt to take the weight off your shoulders. That’s why I was happy it had one. They do have a 30 day return which I think I saw was $8 US?

[@danilapolimeno1386]

@@AdventureMuse Thank you 😊

[@AdventureMuse]

Anytime. I keep looking at other packs, but I keep this one. It’s expensive, but so many of them are.
