Travel Pack - 20L Water Resistant Expandable Laptop Backpack
Product details
Web ID: 18031638This is it. Done backpack shopping
I can't express how helpful this has been already as a commuter when riding the bus and short trips away from home. I have a friend who has had one for years. He wore his out and loved it so much he couldn't stop using it even when the zipper busted. Some years later he was told that Nomatic did replacements and even unaware as he was he reached out to see if it was true, sure enough, they took care of him and he got a new replacement bag to continue is life-long love of this travel pack. Well, after that lifetime guarantee story I figured it worth the expense and I now can't imagine getting any other backpack. Even considering buying the smaller one for my kids and maybe even this one for the one going off to college. It's just plain good and hits every mark I would hope for in a bag. yeah, it's a bit on the big side, but so what! It works and I proudly wear it walking all over the place getting from A to B. If I really wanted looks to matter I'd get the smaller version, but function is my thing and it functions with perfection. (well. . . that glasses case lid in the bag seems to come off easily, but otherwise perfect. :-D

A reliable bag
Got this bag just in time for a 12 day trip to EU. I used it as a carry on in case my luggage got lost. I was able to fit a change of clothes, some tennis shoes, an IPAD, a jacket and a shaving kit. I pretty much tested the zippers and the unit to the max and it held up well. It got a bit more broken in as the trip went on and was easier to get closed. Tight fit for as much stuff as I put in it but overall I was happy with the product. Would recommend

Good bag but the zipper gets stuck
The backpack looks great — very aesthetic and I love the size, it's perfect for daily use and short trips. However, the zippers are a bit disappointing. They feel stiff and sometimes get stuck, which makes opening and closing the bag frustrating at times. For the price I paid, I expected the zippers to work smoothly and flawlessly. Overall, I like the bag, but the zipper quality doesn't quite match the rest of the build. . .

Fantastic Travel Pack
This is the best backpack I have ever owned. Very well made and the inside is organized. This was a warranty replacement and no issue whatsoever with the exchange. Very polite people and helpful.

Travel Pack May 2025
Love the fabric & materials used. Vast field of pockets. Spectacular storage capability & flexibility. I bought it to travel with 2 laptops (13" & 15"), 2 cellphones, a leather portfolio filled with papers, a notebook, 4 power adapters, a miniature mouse, cables, pens, thumb drives, a few small tools, business cards, masks, mints, bottle opener. . . all that stuff. It's packed to the gills & I wish there was a bit more room, I'm forced to pack some of my stuff in my suitcase. Would've been pleased to see a carabiner on the retractable key loop (most keys are on loops, crazy to connect 2 loops together, annoying to de-couple later). A name tag should've been included with a loop on the back of the bag to tie it to. It's still the nicest backpack I've ever owned & I've had dozens over the years. If you can swing the price, it's worth it.

I’m touring musician. At least
I’m touring musician. At least five or six people I work withhave recommended this bag. I bought it with high hopes. I think it beats every other similar sized pack in terms of features. However, mine broke the first hour of the first day. In the documents pouch (in the same compartment as the laptop), I had been keeping my travel planner and after using it, I was trying to put back in to the pouch while on an aircraft. I caught the edge and with very little pressure ripped about a half inch of the seam of the document pouch. I’ve owned all kinds of gear and this kind of tear is something you expect on gear a 10th of the price. So I returned the pack. I also took a look at all of the friend’s Nomatic packs who had recommended it. They weather and start to look rough pretty quickly. The really old ones do not wear in (like my Filson gear), they look worn out. Great concept, but disappointing execution. I’d be willing to pay double the price if it did what it said it would do with tougher, construction and better materials. The compartments were awesome and I will miss them on my AER bag, but at least I know that it’s built like a tank, and will look good for at least a few dozen more trips around the globe

This bag can be used as a daily gym bag. It is awesome.

Expensive but durable
I have so many Nomatic products that when it came time carry my Apple Vision Pro I needed something to carry all the peripherals and device. This did it all. Love the ability to expand the bag when more items need to be added.
