## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Multiple compartments and pockets that will keep your things tidy inside.
-   Waterproof so you won't have to worry when it starts drizzling.
-   Have tons of features such as RFID safe pockets, a hidden money pocket, and a removable shell for glasses.

### Things to consider

-   Quite pricey.
-   Doesn't hold much with 20L capacity. Would be perfect as a work bag or as EDC.

## What reviewers said

-   "I rated this 5 stars because I am a bit of a compulsive back user. I travel a great deal and need a practical, comfortable, and waterproof pack. The Nomatic is the best I have ever used. The design is outstanding, with well laid out, practical pockets for all the electronics and cables needed for today's electronics"
-   "I travel heavily for work, 4-5 days a week. This backpack has been a perfect fit for me. It holds everything I need and I can still fit it under the seat in the airplane. It has tons of separate pockets which help with the organization of all my cables and extras..."
