    I lived in Australia the last 5 years and with my travel around that part of the world and SE Asia and being confronted with multiple occasions where my carry on was weighed, I couldn't afford the weight of this backpack. (Every gram counts!) So I went with lighter options. Now I am back in the USA and immediately purchased this bag. After a couple trips, I have to say, I love this bag. Well done Chase and Pakt. A sincere thank you to both!

    Thanks for the review Chase, I Pre-Ordered Two of the 35L version 2 today for my wife and I for an upcoming trip to Europe/ Spain next May, first time we are trying this one bag travel as our last trip to Italy from the US was not fun with rolling suitcases, lesson learned as Rookies hahaha. This backpack after comparing to every other back pack in the world being offered online seemed to check all the boxes for the very reasons you point out in your Vlog. We are excited to try these bad boys out and appreciate people like you who take the time to create great content reviews so those of us can learn and make better informed purchases based on experienced travelers.

    Lot of great improvements. Still on the fence about the laptop in the middle. Seems harder to get it in and out if your bag is stuffed (as they always are). In addition, I would suggest adding external bungies/stretch pockets to the daily carry. My dream combo backpack has a daypack that can hold wet/dirty items like a towel+bathing suit. I feel like so many of these techie travel backpacks are geared toward urban travel where all you have are clothes and slim electronics.

    Used my 45L Pakt v2 on a 3 night trip across the country. Fit everything I needed and was a breeze through security and fit perfectly in the overhead compartment. This was near perfect. Only complaint was the straps are a bit too wide for me but not a deal breaker.

    Good to see you Chase! You've been in my thoughts a lot lately. Stoked to see a new version of the Pakt backback! I've been looking forward to a 2.0. I was really hoping they'd put the laptop part in the back of the backpack. I always feel like the bulkier stuff I pack puts pressure on the screen. But I could definitely see using that front expandable section with a sleeve. We're here for you man! I hope you're doing ok hangin in there.

    Thanks for the review, Chase! I have mixed feelings about the bag. The format seems quite comfortable, but there are a lot of implementation issues: 1) The fabric appears to attract wool, lint and dust - imho, my least favorite type of fabric. If it's not constantly wiped down, it will look as unkempt as possible, especially the black version. The same goes for the small Daybag. 2) The 500d fabric doesn't hold its shape well, being empty the bag looks shapeless. This is probably done to lighten the overall weight of the bag. By the way, I was not able to find information about how much the bag weighs - neither in the review nor on the website. For many Reddit guys, this is an important question. 3) The lack of Aquaguard zippers anywhere in the bag. Considering that the fabric isn't the most water resistant in terms of its density, the extra moisture protection wouldn't have hurt. 4) The bag in the 45 liter version reaches a length of 60 cm - this is too much for hand luggage on any airline flights! Why other backpack manufacturers were able to make their Travelpack 45L in length of 55 cm, but Pact is not? 5) The location of the laptop pocket in the center of the backpack still raises questions - the center of gravity is shifted away from the back, which affects the comfort of carrying. 6) The fastenings of the backpack straps look too loose - in my opinion, the nylon strap could have been made a bit shorter. 7) The idea of detachable straps for lateral attachment of yoga mat etc. may not be accepted as successful by everyone either. They can fall out and dangle when walking. The fasteners themselves don't look entirely comfortable, which Chase himself admits. 8) The pocket under the back looks terribly cheap and not quite ergonomic.A variant with a simple pocket with a hidden zipper would have been much prettier, simpler and more convenient. In general, there are many complaints about the ergonomics and appearance of the backpack. It feels that the first version looks in this regard much cleaner and much better organized.

    The fasteners have me worried too…sort of think V1 backpack was better. Other bags do this too…but not many. I think there are more improvements overall than not. But some sacrifices also appear to have been made.

  • @richardacosta2297

    I agree with you. I fell V1 is better. I think a few changes would make V1 even better. Primarily making both sides slightly deeper to accommodate packing cubes. one side is slightly smaller (depth wise). Making the accessory straps actually stay on and few smaller details. otherwise the pack itself is perfect. I love the pocket at the top of V1 that is water resistant as well. This one seems......unimpressive and a step back.

    I'll have to say that I preferred the old material ( a bit more texture to it than now) as well as that crazy flip in the middle of the front they had on it. I wish I'd pulled the trigger while it was still available. I understand the need of upgrading products and some aspects in the comparizons between the V1 and now V2 are legit, but overall, I dunno.
