    "What an incredible product! I've been dreaming of replacing my duffel with this bag for my 1 bag travel needs. I missed the first drop but got on the 2nd and boy was I impressed. The bag's features are very well thought out with everything I need, but nothing I don't. Most impressive is how everything is so neatly put together - the build quality is very very high."

    "This is a great bag. The beta version immediately became my daily carry, and after one year of reliable, bulletproof functionality, I immediately purchased the new release. Lightweight, crazy strong materials, comfy, can carry a ridiculous amount of stuff."

  • A green and yellow auto rickshaw driving on an empty road next to a tall concrete wall with a fence on top, under a canopy of trees.

    "This is an excellent one bag choice! The materials are superb. There’s enough organization across the pockets and the zipper expansion makes it easy to open up and pack for 3-4 days. The real star is the strap with unique adjustment and enough shape to remain standing on its own."

    "The bag is very well designed. I was able to intuitively use it without spending too much thoughts about it. The various pockets made sense, the sizes as well, and i really like that stretch material. Excited to see what else that can be used for. I have used the bag for my walkabouts, gym workouts and a short road trip, and it definitely reinforces the minimalism aspects, and it works, it just works. The strap and that hidden pocket.. chef's kiss right there!"

Klint, from The Perfect Bag, takes viewers through testing the 34L TRAVELER in Ultra200x on an ultralight overseas trip to Japan. Klint walks through the exterior and interior of the bag, and talks about his carry style with the bag while doing over 30,000 steps a day on his trip.

“Are you a Traveler, yes or no?

And when I say traveler, I don’t mean do you go to the beach once a year. I mean do you travel…do you go out and explore, do you bounce around city to city?

So ultimately, who is it the perfect bag for?
A Traveler.”
