The Search for The Perfect Bag: The WANDRD PRVKE (Ft Bo Ismono & Nomads Nation)

Does the perfect bag actually exist? In this video that is the question I stout to answer. For my one of my all time favorite bags has always been The WANDRD Prvke. It's a bag that is not only dependable but also very functional and practical in most situations. Come along with me as we dive into what makes this bag so special and worthy of the title of "PERFECT"

What's your favorite part of The WANDRD PRVKE?

[@Youknowthebo]

Great video. Thanks for having me ✌️😊

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for having me on Odie!

[@OdieMatthews]

Loved having your opinion in this!

[@ScottfromCalifornia]

Dude, you should have way more subscribers. Great review!

Of the 30 or so bags I’ve bought over the past 5 years this was by far my least favourite bag. I was sooo excited to get it and over the first couple trips I took it on my opinion shattered. Number 1, it was the least comfortable bag I have ever wore. My normal travel carry with this bag made my shoulders ache like nothing else. With my PD bag I can use it for 30k steps and I get sore but don’t have to take it off. The PVKE I had to take off my back every 20-30 minutes. Maybe it was just not compatible is the my frame. I love the look of this bag but without a camera cube just putting a jacket in it makes it lose its shape and turn into a blob. The general workflow of this bag just didn’t work for me which goes to show that while there may be a perfect bag for you there isn’t a bag that’s perfect for everyone.

I have this one and the rogue 6L and both get complemented alllll the time

I’m 79. Going on a trip to Punta Cana next week. Leaving my Sony FX3 and a7siii at home and taking my a7iii with zoom lens and Rode mics. Traveling light. Your review convinced me to buy the small lyte version. I hope it works out. I’ll let you know. Good review. 😊

[@jvkrause]

Agree 100%. Great product. I also have a couple of the WANDRD Rogue slings.

[@MukLyfeMarshall]

Do you have a text version of the tier list available?

[@OdieMatthews]

I can make that!

[@dawncrossland3028]

@@OdieMatthews Could You Text That List to me as well??

[@kaikalino7349]

PRVKE you know my response. My favorite camera bag to travel with.

[@jonuiuc]

Nice, I like the material WANDRD uses (I've only owned the Duo and their Tech pouches), they do a good job with the shoulder straps and handfeel too. For my photography, I went with something very similar, but I personally don't really ever see myself side swinging a backpack on one shoulder, so side access is pointless for me, I'd prefer the sides be used for tripod/bottle holders. I use a Tenba DNA 16, which sort of has a drawer access which works better when the bag is taken off and put down standing up. I never liked the idea of having to lay the bag on its front or back to access, takes up too much space, fine for travel bags used in a hotel but not out in public. I've taken that bag to Alaska and Greece, its my photography go to. But I'm always buying bags if I find a good deal, so someday lol.

[@OdieMatthews]

Love this!

[@csc-photo]

Been eyeing up this bag for some time. I have the Nomatic / McKinnon 25L and that’s as close to perfect that I’ve seen. But this PRVKE would likely be right up there. Next sale, I’ll likely grab one. Currently deciding on the 3/6/9L sling, and consolidating 7 bags down to 3 🫣🙂

[@BenjaminTrillington]

Don't know if you'll see this in time, but prime day has the prvke on sale for 40% off! I just bought it

[@drunkestdriver]

kinda glad i got the prvke 21Lit not the Brevite one

[@tacomaster46]

Little late on the commenting on this, I really enjoy my PRVKE, and have flown with it as my only bag on dozens of trips. The main problem I have with it is a big one, the whole carrying system leaves a lot to be desired. Bags like mystery ranch 2dap are hard to go back from when I switch back to the PRVKE it feels like a totally underwhelming shoulder strap system. I still go for the PRVKE often, but if I am going to be putting in the miles with the pack on it is not my pick. TL;DR: Wandrd please make the shoulder straps into a nice yolk system and I’ll buy another PRVKE.

[@RealMuperSan]

This is v1?

[@bryanbuff]

Someone on the DARK MATTER Production Design team loves the bag too. Lol.

[@ambition2959]

I have this bag. If you travel with this it isn’t great. If you pack one camera with just 2 lenses then you ll be fine. But if you bring a drone too it’ll be hard. There simply isn’t enough room. You’ll have to shove a controller or drone in through top portion. The 31L is massive, if you fill up the bag, most airlines will make you check in your carry on, bc the wandrd will not be allowed to be put under your seat. If you want to add more batteries or rigs, it’s impossible.

[@osmewilkins]

It's the worst bag you can ever bring for travel!

[@karikaru]

Keep seeing stuff like this which makes me hesitant. Im looking for a niche camera bag that can hold a 16" laptop while still being airline friendly. Not necessarily under seat but that would be a plus. Only need to hold a body and maybe a second small lens and flash.

[@ambition2959]

@@karikaru don’t even consider this bag, even by some miracle you get your bag through the flight, you have to hope there’s extra overhead space, if not this bag will be sticking out under the seat in front and that takes up a lot of your leg room, you’ll be in for a very uncomfortable flight. I only ever take it on day trips or road trips

[@karikaru]

@@ambition2959 thanks for the heads up 👍

[@nicolg-q2b]

I have the larger version. Its great, but there are 2 huge design flaws: 1 - the shoulder straps should be attached to the bag body, NOT the laptop compartment. The bag falls back and one has to hunch when its fully loaded because of this flaw. 2 - The depth of the bag is too short. Even a sony mirrorless can barely fit. You have a DJI mic receiver on top? Forget it. You'll have to take it off. If you're a DSLR user, you literally cannot use this bag without taking your lens off which is comical. Hope these get fixed in next versions. Materials are top notch though.

[@markalexander142]

Be careful if you buy the backpack in Australia as spare parts are not stocked. I lost chest band as shown in the video, and WNDRD was $5 used to replace and $100 USD to post! Outrageous, find a better supplier because the chest strap is easily lost!

[@NJNP1]

wandrd prvke was the worst bag I've ever used..used it for two trips and gave it away on offerup not good for travel at all every pocket is hard to get into and the gap between shoulder straps and bag itself makes it drag back making it extremely uncomfortable all my opinion/experience

[@OdieMatthews]

Everyone has their own experiences but I gotta say yours seems rare unfortunately. Sucks this was the one you had on this bag :/

[@erwindelapena5708]

I sold my prvke because it always seemed heavy and I only carried a go pro and a rangefinder camera on trips. The only thing I really liked were the straps. They were comfortable. Bought a tenba, a lighter pack

[@Battlem0nk]

Have you tried Shimoda backpacks? They're known for exceptional comfort. Curious how it compares to the Prvke.
