Navigator Travel Backpack W/ 9L Built-In Expansion

Amazing bag!!

I Travel all the time for work this thing is great. Pricey for a backpack but designed very well and is comfortable to carry. Just be ware for a backpack it starts heavy and only gets heavier from there.

Backpack is good, but two problems I have mainly with Amazon. There is no ladder system as shown in the description. If you look closely the inside of the ladder system bag shown is a different color. Just false advertisement. Second, my bag came in a bear up box with a return label and return slip still inside. The buyer bought it, used it for a short trip it seems, and then tied the label back on. It even has sweat stains and a deodorant stain.

Bag is extremely well made and will meet your needs for minimal luggage. The only problem is that this bag is HEAVY. Empty, the bag is almost 5 lbs. Loaded down and walking through the airport you will regret your choice.

Let me start by saying that I have way too many backpacks. I have one for rock climbing, short trips, work, skiing, and for camera gear. I was looking for a big backpack that I could take my camera and a bunch of video gear skiing, and also something that could replace my carry-on suitcase on longer trips. This does all of this for me and more. Here are the key things that really set this bag apart from my other backpacks: -Build quality: I have owned Nomadic products in the past, and this is where they have “wowed” me in the past. This one is next level. I have had minimal problems with backpacks in the past, just the occasional broken buckle. This one is SOLID. Many of the buckles and hooks are metal, and the straps are soft, but they feel like a super nice seat belt. They are not the cheap plastic nylon ones, they are really nice, but hard to explain the material. -Laptop pocket: All of my bags have a laptop pocket at the top, and this one is from the side, which does not make the backpack loose its shape. The advantage to this is I can take my laptop in and out while wearing it. A little thing, but it is actually really important to me, plus its hard to find for pickpockets. -Adjustability and fit: At 6’5” I am a large human. Most chest straps when my backpack at the right height is way high on my chest, I can’t use them because they are way too high and end up choking me. This one you can take out, and there are slots to put it way down or way up, depending on your size. This makes this bag so much better for me! -Comfort: This goes along with my previous point, but because of the internal straps that hold your cloths or other big items right up against your back, there is nothing “jiggling around against the bottom, and it is held right against the back. It also has a really stiff design which makes it great for sports like skiing, and also for carrying all day. -Carrying space: This has a beautiful big space and feels like packing a normal carry-on suitcase. Opens just like one as well, so you can keep all your clothes nice and organized just like a suitcase. -Water Resistance: Nice smooth material, put my camera in it for a really rainy shoot, the inside did not get wet at all. Enough said. -Looks: Amazing design, I feel good wearing it. I have not had any issues with the pack so far, I have been impressed with it and loved carrying it around with me to a variety of events and activities. If this review was helpful, I would appreciate if you marked it as so! Thanks for reading.

Nice bag , but mine DID NOT COME with the freeken ladder rack and cube . Wtf . I’m returning . Literally the only reason why I bought this bag. Anybody else not get the ladder rack and cube in there bag??

This is my first experience with a Nomatic bag. I was traveling for 3 weeks with my family and was looking for something durable that would also fit all my clothes, toiletries and computer. This turned out to be everything I needed and more. Every pocket is designed with a specific purpose in mind and it fulfills its function perfectly. There's even a hidden pocket inside another small pocket for anything needing a little extra protection. I had plenty of space to hold everything I needed to bring and was even able to pack some of my wife's things as well. The shoulder straps are comfortable, even with the bag being packed to the max and there's even a waist strap to help support your back (if necessary). This bag is 100% worth the price and I'd recommend this product to absolutely anyone!

I have owned other Nomatic products before and have loved them. I bought this new bag from their Navigator series and used it for a recent trip I took. I was gone for 3 days and was easily able to pack all my clothes and accessories. I love the little secret pocket where I am able to keep my keys from home. The lined pocket at the top is a nice place to store my phone. I was a little leary about the price of the bag when I bought it but this bag far exceded my expectations. The quality is superior and flawless. Every zipper and pocket has a purpose. I highly recommend you get this bag.
