The Pakt Travel Backpack

[@Olson34]

really wish the backpack was more in stock. i really love xpac and would love to see this in that type of material. i love a high vis orange of most xpac that great for when I'm at a hotel and can see what packing cubes I'm looking for without waking up my roommates when in a hotel.

I bought Pakt's travel backpack when they were crowd funding in 2020, it is still my go to travel bag, my favorite, so easy to fit anything I need and I dont ever have to check it at airports! The most convenient and user-friendly bag ever! Thanks Pakt!!

Great review, i was caught off guard by him saying the material has a "sexy feeling"

Looks like a great backpack. Wished it came in that sand color that the Everyday one comes in

2:02 ”You can just grab all your stuff and move it to someplace where there’s not a bunch of...… people." Nice save 😀 Love your energy. Also sold on the straps that can hold a yoga mat. Been looking for something like this for a while. This actually looks very nice, gotta love a backpack that is functional for real.

[@gotrr]

Man-o-man…I have not traveled with a backpack in a thousand years. But, you just about have me convinced to try it again. I’ve never found a one-bag solution for travel. I’m going to give this some thought. Wish I could see it before I purchase.

@@Paktbags can I separately purchase the waist belt that came with v1 (to install on v2)?

[@AlecONAMISSION]

YT@AlecOnaMission. I strongly agree with this, "...I feel like the hip belt and accessory straps were a move backward from V1." Even w/o back issues, it's nice to have quality built-in support. The 'new' throwaway/easy-to-lose straps seem more aesthetic. My back gets strained from gear. Cheap hip or sternum support is...cheap...and ineffective. I was set to buy, but pressed pause.

[@honeyboy14]

Suggestion on which size for international flights, mostly focused around SE Asian airlines? Will be traveling through out that region for a few months with minimal clothing and some tech gear (laptop, podcast equipment etc) Any issues with the larger 45 L as a carry on? Thanks, great video!

[@kent3874]

I like to use such a TSA pocket to carry my passport and wallet, small valuables all the time, not just through the checkpoint, so would prefer that the pocket bottom would not dangle freely when using it, as when it is folded, one cant store much in there.

What is the volume with the expansion piece unzipped? Which there was a small net piece for cords etc and a laptop section not interior to the bag.

Yes it does fit under the seat. A teammate just flew United Basic Economy and used it as their personal item. They put it in the overhead for leg space but it did count!

Can the laptop compartment fit a 14" MacBook Pro already with a thin sleeve (using something from Herschel Supply)?

[@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.

[@capcityorgnzr]

I've got a 2018 RMU 42L Travel Briefcase. It's awesome, but it's discountinued. I travel 2wks out of the month & it's been my go to. I like that its' got shape, structure & extremely well made. Not to mention durable. Most importantly it's low profile, even when fully packed. It's got cinch straps on both sides. I like the features of this bag, but it's side profile looks like it can beefy when fully packed? Do you have other alternatives you can suggest?

[@JohnnyFiction]

Almost perfect, but can't keep this many valuables with zero theft protection from behind. The zippers are high quality but can easily be accessed by anyone behind you, and it's so thick, you'd never know. Great design, but in the next version, keep security in mind.

[@billbrooke4355]

use a locking carabiner? A cheap way to dissuade a thief from stealing your valuables or a small padlock otherwise.

[@maromorostar6621]

I was very interested and i saw they just hit stock but 200 USD for shipping and taxes to Denmark, total price 579 USD. That is way to much. Is it not possible to buy it in the EU?

[@billbrooke4355]

@@Paktbags have you got a UK retail partner as well? The UK now has to pay taxes to import goods from the EU. Delivery & import taxes from USA add £100 to the basic price of this very nice backpack, hoping Pakt might have a Black Friday sale which would help to mitigate the overall cost?

[@nomap2161]

I have the 34L V1 bag and absolutely love it! It's the best travel backpack I've ever owned (Thanks Chase). I do have to say this V2 doesn't do anything for me. I feel their design updates have gone backwards making go from a sleek travel backpack to a big bulky turtle shell. I agree with others that the V1 also looks better. Come on, Pakt!! What are you thinking?

[@joxseph]

Not only that but the unnecessary branding on the bag. I truly believe quality bags (like their V1), don't need their logo plastered on it because the product will speak for itself. The new design makes the bag look cheaper.

[@zsL-o8l]

How can I get it in china ? Have you ever think about selling it in China

[@sl-rt5kv]

Seems like a great bag, but it weighs too much for me. I need something closer to 2 pounds. Less weight comes in awfully handy when doing one bag travel on those airlines with 15 pound carry-on limits. Also carrying less weight is always better even though it isn't the only consideration.

[@thyroidnodule]

Nice review! I wonder if this bag can be used as a camera bag, from the design it looks tough to do so because the split-center design.

[@Paktbags]

It could! If you prefer a different style, we have the Pakt One Travel Duffel that opens from the top and the clamshell. It comes 28L and 35L. paktbags.com/products/pakt-one-travel-duffel

[@Buckyy_08]

how many days worth of clothes will each backpack hold? And does the 45L fit under seat as well? thanks!

[@Paktbags]

The amount of clothes depends on where you're going and what you like to pack. Our founder just spent three weeks in New Zealand with their Travel Backpack! Going on a ski trip? Might be a little challenging with all the cozy layers. If you're planning to put the backpack under the seat, we recommend the 35L. The 45L is a little too big but both fit well in the overhead compartment.

[@drphibesrises]

Would the 45L version fit under the seat?

[@Paktbags]

We recommend putting this in the overheard compartment and using the 15L Bag under the seat. Depending on what you pack, the bag probably wouldn't leave much room for your legs (as if there is much now).

[@lanceklein2746]

It looks monstrous with the daypack packed inside. I would guess you will need to pull it out and compress the bag before going near the gate so you don’t get gate checked, no?

[@Paktbags]

Depends on your airline carrier and what you pack. We just had a teammate carry this on no problem as their personal item in United Basic Economy.

[@skynichols]

Suuuuper cool bag. Its definitely replaced the boundary Arris as the next bag travel bag Im eyeing. One feature I would have loved to see would have been a way to hook my Pakt 5L sling at the top/top back of the bag using the slings side loops. The system integration of your smaller bags into the bigger ones is one of my favorite features, but I think you could make the same area of attachment double as an attachment place for other things, as youve done with the yoga straps side. It could serve to attach a solar cell for on the go charging (perhaps a very niche case but the perfect spot for such a thing!) or even a place to strap your wet towel to dry, while your bathing suit dries on the side. Perhaps you design a 5L sling bag version thats suited to a mirrorless dslr, and that goes there! Im sure you'd have artists that would love to carry a large pad in the expansion pack and then brushes/pens in the aforementioned sling slot so as to keep the other awesome pockets free from the clutter/paint messiness. Maybe just compression straps for a down parka so that the other top pocket for the jacket can be dedicated to a shell or vice versa during the colder months. Ill stop ranting/providing examples 🙃If you made this update in a v2 I promise you I will set any amount of money on fire for this bag lolol because for now Ill be coasting on my aging Nomatic v1 from kickstarter, which doesnt get enough use as is but I would still replace with such a perfect system if it was *truly* perfect ;) Soo food for thought!

[@kelsenkel]

That bright, contrasting logo just makes the bag look cheap. It seems like it has great enough technical features to make it possibly the best travel pack out there. It's a shame that they had to plaster that loud logo on it. I much prefer the design aesthetic of the previous version.
