Pockets on pockets on pockets on pockets! What a great duffel, and thanks for the review! LOVE that there's easy access to the big sections without opening up the whole thing - smart!

Such a smart bag!

This bag (and cubes and sling bag) looks phenomenal! Love the colour you chose and the organization!

Love it!! Thanks Lauren for another awesome review 👍🏻❤

Great review Lauren😄. I love all the pockets. This would make an awesome weekender especially for car travel.

I think so too!

Thank you finally you reviewed it packed up! The version 1 actually went on sale but I was curious cause I remember Chase Reeves who was part of design team saying in one of his reviews that there was a batch that mistakenly didn't have the original YKk zippers so thank you for showing it with packing cubes and extras❤ I loved that you went over the sizing difference and weighed it in. My 1st favorite thing about this bag when I discovered it was that a laptop could still be tucked safely between both sides and everything could be opened at top. My second favorite part is that pull out mesh red lined pocket for when you have to empty your pockets for TSA then find them easily again and reinsert it into itself after!

Great review. Thank you! !

I love this bag!

This is an awesome duffel! And I love the packing cubes too. Will be checking them out further.

right? I love that it can separate my items, and its still so small.

I bought the original Pakt backpack on Indiegogo developed with Chase Reeves, another fun minimalist packing guru. The features are amazing and it's beautifully made. Turns out, it's too heavy for me when packed :( but I can say their products are perfectly designed for travel.

Why do I get so excited when your new videos pop up??😜

Aw thank you!

Looks great.

Love it and love the color

I have the original pakt one bag in grey. It’s the only bag I use now. So compact and fits everything.

Now you’re talking! I think people have forgotten what it was like to travel before luggage had wheels! I have had this version for years and it got quite the workout as it was a bag I was traveling with when the pandemic hit, and I practically lived out of this bag for over a year. I’m sort of a pocket minimalist, but these pockets do not take up excess room, nor do the zippers snag on things. If you don’t use them, you have more interior packing room. Easy Peezy. This bag has continued to be one of my favorite, lighter weight duffels, and even though I chose a lighter color has never showed a scratch or snag. This bag is so balanced when I wear it crossbody with the very comfortable strap. I’ve never tried Pakt packing cubes, but they look like they’re quality. Great video showcasing an even more mobile bag for one bag travel! Cheers!! 🌍 🌎 🌏

I really want this bag even though I don't need it. It's perfect!!

I was watching the Pakt demo on their site, and there’s a thingamabob at the bottom of the water bottle pocket that attaches to the bag so it doesn’t flop/flap around uncontrollably.

Ooh even better

Just a clarification with the weight. You said it’s 2.36lb (0.45kg), but 2.36lb is 1.07kg. The Pakt website says it’s 2.9lb. Weight is always one of the main dealbreakers for me with any carry on bag because usually I’m flying airlines with 7kg restrictions. And I think for anyone using this for one bag travel, it could be pretty rough on your back when it’s fully loaded, especially if you have a laptop or other heavy electronics. I love the functionality and packability of this bag though.

@ItsTheKellys

7 ай бұрын

Ooh thanks. I typed it into Google but I probably had a typo! It is heavy when fully fully packed. I use duffels more for road trips vs airports with a lot of walking.

Since I just purchased the Bento bag I wouldn't want to make a change right now but I might consider the smaller bag that you show today and this larger bag might actually be too heavy to carry as some folks have said but it does have quite a bit of organization and the suitcastile is really popular right now And stars many purposes so thank you for this review.

Yes duffels are definitely heavy when fully packed. I personally wouldn’t travel with them solo on a plane, through an airport. I would use it more so for road trips or train travel 🥰

This zip queen is back

Wow Looks like a great duffle. My only "complaint" would be too many compartments and zippers. Maybe one or two on one side outside for quick grabs but don't won't it to get stuffed due to size restrictions. But, do love the concept of clam-shell duffle. Is smaller size considered and sized to be a personal item? Wish the interior color was something besides white due to looking dirty but some bright color. Another great excited review!!!

There is definitely a point where there can be too much, especially if a lot of them are smaller, but a lot of these don’t necessarily bug me, although I probably wouldn’t always use all of them! I do love the little hidden pocket inside of a pocket because I would totally hide some extra cash in there

When you get a chance, will you review their backpacks too? They look really great. Thanks!

Hate to bother you, but could you please tell me if you reach for your Bento bag a lot for a plane trips? After seeing Lauren’s review of the newer one, I am curious! The Bento would be my only bag, so I’d be toting it through airports and onto trains, so it makes me worried about the comfort factor 😅 🥴

@@happyfamily1298 No bother at all! I have the newest version too, but haven't traveled with it on a plane-yet. My recent trips have been on international airlines with stricter sizing limits (was easier to skate by with my backpack). I have traveled with it via train for a few weekend trips though, and it got the job done. (:

Would the smaller size pass as a Personal Item? I think you said it was maybe 1 1/2 inches shorter in length, but that would still make it over 18". Thanks!

It’s 11 x 18.9 x 9.8, according to their website, and the largest personal items allowed are 14 x18 x 8, and that’s only for a few.

How does this compare to the Bento Bag which you did a review on previously?

It’s similar in the fact that it opens clamshell style and is made for convenience, but this is a carry on duffel and the bento is personal item size

There is the smaller 25l one that’s supposed to fit under the seat from Pakt, please review that if budget allows - I think it’s more comparable. I would prefer the features on this bag, I’m a function over style girlie but I DO like that nomad lanes looks like a handbag a lot.

Can this fit under a seat or is this instead of a carry on luggage? Thanks

The nomad lane is smaller and more personal item sized. It’s a more luxurious looking bag, vs the matte material on this one, although both water resistant. The nomad lane has other top pockets that are convenient, but takes away from the depth of the one side. It’s really all up to your preference!
