Small bag but works well for the essentials like phone, external charger, wallet, keys, pen and some snacks.
Great bag. Really well made. A decent size and not too bulky. Really pleased and would recommend.
Only trial packed this purchase so far, so no real world travelling yet. The quality appears to be first class and it has exceeded my expectations on the amount you can pack in it. I packed enough for 8 days and there was still space for more. Felt good on my back when packed and I can imagine it would be comfortable to carry from the airport to my hotel via the train. I love the idea of not having to wheel a bag through a city when taxis aren't required. Will be taking it away on a multi city trip to Canada in September, using the railway so will see better then just how good it is.
Great product, well made and just what was needed. Thanks to the excellent staff for their guidance and suggestions.
Ideal sling bag that I bought for festivals, holidays and day trips. Excellent design and build quality with plenty of space for phones, chargers etc. Adjustable strap , breathable material and padding make it comfortable to wear throughout the day.
I had been looking for something as an every day bag for quite a while until I came across the 22L from Three Peaks. I am impressed with the quality and the details. I got a couple of insert bags for it as well which are made of the same high quality. I am now going to get one of their larger bags as well.
My wife and I ordered two Nomad 42L packs as we like the idea of it being a pack we can wear as well as having the convenience of travel suitcase style access. We also travel only with hand luggage!
So, what do we like about the Nomad 42L so far?
1) Easy access top pocket. This is great for headphones, sunglasses, hat, etc. It's also handy to have that clear plastic bag of liquids in for certain airlines.
2) Being rectangular with a flat bottom the pack sits upright on a flat surface. This means it doesn't roll over if you try and get something out the top pocket.
3) The zips all have a waterproof cover - nice touch.
4) The waist and chest belts are both detachable which makes it less 'strappy' if you aren not using them.
5) The laptop slot is large and perfect and there's a nice padded pocket on the near front (that goes against your back) for wallet, passport, etc.
6) Side and top handles for easy lugging around. Again, a nice touch.
Note: I read online that someone complained that the side pockets (for water bottles) were loose but this was definitely NOT the case. The side pockets are snug and can be tightened. I never had to worry about my water bottle falling out.
One tip would be to definitely use it with packing cubes. As some of the cubes weren't available when we ordered, we ordered Eco cubes (made from recycled plastic bottles) from Amazon and they were and are great.
What would I improve? Possibly an accessible zip pocket that you can get your passport/card out easily without taking off the pack. We found that when the pack is on, we have our passport and a card in a breast zipped pocket of a sweater - essential if travelling around, say London where you're clocking in and out of tube stations, etc.
The pack works well on British Airways as hand luggage. Please note that some flights have different size overhead lockers! For example, on a Boeing 777, the window row lockers are bigger than the central row lockers. Our packs fitted perfectly end-ways in the window row overheads but would have to go sideways into a central row locker. In other words, book those side aisles!
We've not had the packs long and only made a couple of trips with them - but so far, so good and we both really like them. When we got home with them our 18-year old son was so impressed he's going to get one too!
I recently decided to upgrade my backpack which I use for my daily commute. The Kaito has loads of storage and it remains in shape. I'm absolutely thrilled with it
This bag is awesome. It looks great; really stealth. The water bottle holders which are internal in storage area but external access are one of the biggest wins as I don’t like having my water bottle / protein shakers protruding on the side of a bag. I have a very well known brand’s 1.4 litre double walled water bottle and it fits with ease, and I was surprised to see a review stating they struggled with a 750ml bottle. It’s absolutely no struggle. Quick access zipped pocket on the top and more zipped internal storage. I have size UK 15 shoes and they fit in the boot bag (with a bit of a stretch but they’re in). Quality is great. Big fan.
Yeh, really good quality. Looks nice & a part of a cohesive design. Just wish there were some colour options but black is perfectly fine.
Perfect for work or taking out the baby with pockets for everything, two bottles, and storage for laptop / iPad and all extras
Grwwt product which helps me condense my packing for my upcoming week away
Comfortable to wear even with some weight inside. Easy to fit a medium packing cube inside and still have room for small extras. Enough small pockets to put stuff but not over fill. Bought it green which is a lovely colour.
Well made with quality materials. Specifications exactly as described.
Would recommend the company and product.
Very pleased with this purchase. The photos and media online don’t do it justice. The quality is exceptional. First time finding great function and design in one. Purchased as a gift and now grabbing my own!
Brought for work as a combo great investment should have brought months ago
Packed for 5 days of hiking in Norway with room to spare. Carried on as hand luggae. Comfortable to wear. So many pockets I almost forgot what id put where! Great bag, highly recommend!
