FAQs

For the ultralight minimalist, The Traveler works great as a single bag, filled with a few small packing cubes and the items you need to hold close. For those who pack a little more, or who have to bring more operational equipment with them into the field, we find The Traveler works great accompanied by a backpack for true 1.5 bag carry. The messenger style makes it easy to wear in tandem with a travel backpack – while retaining freedom of movement, use of both hands, and access to the contents of the bag.

The materials that we use are highly water resistant. Additionally, waterproof ykk zippers help keep water out. We do not recommend submerging the bag in water, but you should be just fine on a drizzly motorbike ride, or a rainy walk through an old part of the city.
