Navigator Travel Backpack 32L

I bought this for a trip to Switzerland last week, and with the idea of using it for 4 day trips to Colorado for hiking here and there as I do. After taking it with me all over Switzerland, Im conflicted. It is slightly heavy, but Im picky due to ultralight packing packs. The weight distribution is impeccable, and it never became actually uncomfortable. It is bulky to carry as a day pack, but not enough to be embarrassing. It is built well which adds to peace of mind but also bulk. Im trying to understand how I can use this for CO trips. I dont think Id ever take it hiking. Too heavy. So what is it's happy place? Probably a 3-4 day jet set where youre not doing anything technical, and you arent wearing it 100% of the time. Maybe a friend's bday away where you have a base camp and venture out for sightseeing once or twice. Or maybe a CO trip if you can fit a Camelback in it for the flight. Just be aware of the airline restrictions for carry on weight if flying economy. Overall, I like it. My 2 points of contention:

- The tension straps need a way to secure the excess. They are soft thankfully, but theyre flapping everywhere.

- It was too easy to knock the (buckle?) strap tension holder thing on the shoulder strap when removing the pack for access while out and about. Small peeve, but with any weight if you knock that you lose a lot of strap which makes the bag feel like a weight on your shoulder and it annoys.

Honestly, I haven't bought this bag yet or any of the travel backpacks that you have in your store. I just don't have the budget for any of your amazing bags. What I do is check out the walk-through videos that you have and see how each bag differs from each other and what unique features they offer that afford the user more advantages than limitations.

This bag, by far, is the most impressive travel backpack that I have seen in the market in terms of durability, weight distribution, and compartmentalization. The framework at the back offers utmost relief to any user of any body size or shape. It allows the back of an adult user, especially those who are in their 40s, to breathe and it mitigates further back pain. Allowing the back of the user is one luxury that not all backpacks offer. The way you thought-out smartly the distribution of weight with different mechanisms like the buckle is something that provides the user flexibility and choices on how to manage the weight of this Spartan cargo. I assume this is one significant feature that female users with various body frames can benefit from. Although the compartments remind me of how you assign compartments in the different travel and backpack models, the variety of compartments designed for this bag allows the user to create permanent assignments to specific valuables and necessities to be brought.

The only downside is the compartment for the laptop. Guys, you can do better than that. Provide the same design for the…

Nomatic is the best travel bag brand I've seen. I have the Nomatic Travel Backpack 32-41L and it's great. It carries as much clothing as any carry on, and has a sleek design along with plenty of organizational pockets.

By the way I also have the Nomatic Travel Pack 20-30L, Nomatic Backpack 20-24L, Nomatic Navigator 15-21L, Nomatic Navigator Lite 15-21L, and Nomatic Collapsible Sling 6L. Plus all sizes of Packing Cube and the Shoe Cube. AND I'm thinking about getting the Nomatic Navigator Carry On Luggage 37-45L. The entire ecosystem shares a sleek design and incredible utility. It feels amazing to have a bag for any scenario. I keep these babies pre-packed with key travel supplies so I'm always ready to go.

And no I'm not a Nomatic employee nor have I been paid to submit this review LOL
