Maurice, I love your vids man, but you gotta review stuff that is more affordable more often. This bag is dope, but its priced beyond its value for most of us who only fly a few times per year. The video is interesting, but there is a sense of foreboding that hangs over the video with the price. I want to buy things you recommend because I trust your experience, but your value for money vs my value for money dont add up and it feels like we're completely out of touch. In addition I think its unrealistic to not include price/ value for money as "the only 5 categories that matter".

This bag looks amazing. My husband and I travel with a single carryon shared between us with our own personal items. This leaves us an additional carryon for the return flight in case we buy something at the destination.

I have the V1. I love it. I think this gave a pretty good look at all of the clever upgrades too. I would happily grab the new version if something were to happen to my current one.

The best pack review delivery ever and a damn good pac

VERY good video, thanks so much for the review!! I've been considering Pakt, and I think this video may have decided it for me.

There are many lighter weight (while empty) backpacks that offer similar features. As you mentioned this one is 2kg (4.4lbs) which is 28% of your carry on weight limit (7kg/15lbs) before you even pack it! And yes, Ive had my carry on weighed before boarding many times, especially in Australia and all over the world. If you're lucky they might not ask but I have had to check bags in the past that exceeded their carry on weight. I'd advice caution if using this bag

Maurice obviously likes a bag with lots of organization (pockets, compartments, dividers, etc.) made from fairly durable (heavier) fabric. Of course it's all about tradeoffs. As you say much lighter bags exist, and those bags will have fewer "organizational features" and, or lighter fabric or will be lower capacity. This is all individual preference. But having said all that, my preference is also for a lighter (less than 3 lbs) bag.

I am very impressed with your review. I went to the website and they are even offering a 15% discount. In spite of that , the bad would be very expensive for a casual traveler like me.

Being able to stow the straps away is also great for placing the bag neatly into the overhead storage areas of planes and trains or if you need to put it the baggage compartment of the airport or sightseeing bus.

great video. incredible walkthrough and the editing to show everything you are talking about is sweet. Love you are a Toronto guy. This bag is great just for the daily it looks like. I've been considering the patagonia MLC (45l i think) and it reminds me of it. but this one is really good with all the quality in the build and well thought out. really well done.

Bro, you convinced me! I ordered one yesterday. I was hesitant bc I have a 7 day trip coming up in Japan at the end of the month and was scared it wouldn’t be big enough to pack 7 days worth of clothes and gear…. But I also watched the vid you of both you and your mother traveling out of the same bag and was convicted haha. I’ll let you know what I think about the bag after the travel!

dude, i love your videos, super informative

I am a die hard Peak Design fan but this review has won me over!

I have never seen a video that explains it in such detail❤

When traveling and going carry-on only, I use a 45l Incase clamshell duffle bag that they no longer make. It doesn't have the versatility of this Pakt but it's got plenty of volume thanks to it's rectangular shape and squared off corners. It's saved me plenty of times from being forced to check my bag in since I've been able to squeeze it into an overhead compartment that was "full". Frankly, there should be a lot more enforcement of carry-on sizing because when you're group 3,4 or 5 there should still be some room for luggage but group 1 and 2 rolled into the plane with their hard sided Away luggage which takes up all the overhead. But it's not all the fault of other travelers as a lot of blame can be put on the airlines as well. Creating subclass fares and not overhauling the overhead bins has caused major headaches too.

@jam_is_jammin

5 ай бұрын

The biggest problem is the people in Zones 1&2 put BOTH their carryon & personal item in the overhead bin. That’s selfish. Personal items should go under the seat in front of you and the space in the overhead bins should be cubbies that are labeled with your seat#. The airlines could fix this but they won’t. I travel carryon only and hate it when my luggage gets confiscated & “checked for free.”

@@jam_is_jammin I just came back from Orlando last week and jumped on an earlier flight than I was booked. Thanks to my soft sided duffle, I was able to avoid checking it in. But sure enough plenty of people put their backpacks and coats up in the overhead when it should be at their feet under the seat.

Always love your videos. Gotta check this backpack out.

Generally 7kg carry on allowance here in Asia, with this bag you've got a large 45l capacity but only 3.5kg spare once you put in your laptop. Nice as it is smaller and lighter is more practical forme dealing with weight restrictions and carrying even minimal photo gear.

I’ve had the original Pakt One and I absolutely love it. I’ve just picked up one of these for a trip to California early next year. Hoping all I’ll need it this but if not I still can bring my Pakt One.

Lol, I understand the water comment. We are fortunate to live on basalt rock and our well water is something else. I make sure to have a big bottle of it with me wherever I go.

If you want some padding on the day pack straps, there are fairly inexpensive padding options that are sold for car seat belts. I used them for other backpacks before and they work great.

I have the evergoods CTB and i enjoy it a ton, but this is a very compelling argument for a great travel bag. I may pick up the 15L everyday bag as an addon to my current setup!

For Canadians the MEC Outpost 35L whilst not nearly having the number of pockets or modularity is a also a solid contender for travel pack, it's seems to be a diluted Cotopaxi 35L and the pricepoint is more reasonable for those in looking in that bracket.

I am not sure if this is the bag for me, cause I somehow look for a hybrid bag for EDC as well. BUT you did a tremendous job reviewing the bag. Probably thr best I've ever saw and I've seen many! Not only what to present but also how to present

I absolutely love this bag. It’s perfect for me for a quick weekend trip where I only carried this backpack as well as a 2 week Euro trip accompanied with my monos carryon

I am newer to your channel and your videos but the way you lay out information and how you film these are incredible. I was pretty on board with the bag till I saw the price ha ha it's a bit out of my budget but if I am ever traveling I'll have to consider it because an easy but effective travel bag makes a massive difference and I am not too opposed to spending a lot on good bags. The most I've spent is about 225 bucks so this is still a bit more but that other bag has done me very very well and I got it on sale for 180 so after tax and shipping not too bad.

Actually, for wheeled luggage, the July Lightweight is 3.9 lbs and Lightweight expandable is 4.9 lbs. Plus Heys has some well under 7 lbs too.

I feel like a bag would definitely be easier to tote around than a big suitcase, which I feel only does well on airport floors. Love the video!

Love this! I've done my share of one-bag-travel experiments and trips, and I must admit I'm not a big fan of backpacks. Too much schlepping. That said, I carry A LOT of tech items with me, and I travel long-term (usually 3 months/trip on average), so I usually need a full carry-on case of some sort plus a full personal item bag for my tech/miscellaneous stuff. (Team carry-on only here). And if I use a 40L carry on backpack as my "luggage", then I'm relegated to the 2-backpack strategy; big one on the back small one on the front - which I detest for so many reasons. But I love these Pact bags! Got any suggestions for a long-term traveler?

Thank you so much for introducing this bag as I never heard of this brand. It does seemed like the perfect bag. It seems difficult to find a bag without using those waterproof zip with coating which starts to pill over time, loses its function and looks horrible. It also has a ok looking logo. I know. I’m very picky and I found a lot of bags out there got an ugly logo… and I love the fact that this bag also got a hidden pocket! I don’t know why it’s so hard to find similar design.

A really awesome tech accessory i recommend to people (Id love to see it featured in a video too) is called the Kable Card, has charging adapters and spots for a sim tool and microSD and nanosims in it, and incredibly slim

I feel like I have done serious research after your vids, even if I don’t get the exact same product - I know what to look for

Great roundup. Fingers crossed!

Oh man, this is my first time on your channel, I came for the review, but that butterfly knife moment was friggin' fantastic. :D

The bag looks good and the review was showed everything I needed. The price is a bit high and the comments got me comparing other bags they use. Thanks

Looks interesting and well designed. Thanks for your thorough review. I have a few questions if you happen to read this months later - or someone else who owns one... - How is it holding up after months of use? - Will either size bag fit under an airline seat, at least when not fully expanded, or do I need to stick with the day pack for that? - How is the water resistance, would you rely on it for walking in the rain for an hour or so or does it need a cover? - finally at $300+ it's a bit spendy, what's your closest alternative that's in the $200 or less price range?

I'm convinced on your point. This seems to really be the best bag I've seen so far. But the price unconvinced me. hahaha Seems like I'm just keeping my not so good backpack. But this was a really cool review.

Hey man, huge fan of your videos. I rewatch your videos so often because I just love your philosophy. Would you happen to be a photographer? I’ve been dabbling in some photography, however, in line with your philosophy, I want to carry as little as possible while staying practical, especially when travelling. Would you happen to have any suggestions on EDC’ing a camera, or how you would incorporate a camera into your one bag travel system? Most camera bags I have looked at are whole backpacks themselves 😅

I think one other thing I would want is the ability to unattach the middle divider where the laptop goes and place it in front or the back as well. Sometimes having the option for larger bulkier items has been beneficial and I've been using peak design stuff because that has given me the best versatility, however, that middle divider is something I also have enjoyed in other bags..
