Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- The hidden TSA pocket located at the back pad is convenient to use and will let you go through checkpoints without dismantling your personal items.
- Truly comfortable to carry even in long periods of time.
- The removable hip strap can turn into a fanny pack.
- Offers so much organization throughout the entire bag.
Things to consider
- Some folks claim that it is "over-engineered."
- The laptop compartment location which is situated in the middle of the bag is a bit awkward.
- The back panel could use some more airflow.
What reviewers said
- "This bag is amazing, I used it for a two-month trip (warm climate) and could pack everything I needed. Wish the material felt a little more premium overall and would love to have an extra inch of depth and maybe an inch less height, especially because when it is packed out the laptop compartment becomes pretty difficult to access. Overall amazing bag, great first pass and can't wait to see the next iteration."
- "The organization of this bag is so great! While I love traveling with backpacks for hands-free convenience, I hate that feeling of rummaging around looking for what I want, which always seems to be at the bottom of the pack. This bag has such well-placed pockets and amazing zipper access that with the help of two or three color-coded packing cubes I can find anything I want in just a few seconds."

After the success of their killer duffel bag, Pakt partnered with Chase Reeves to design a modern travel backpack for both pro travelers and weekend warriors alike. Lots of external access, solid aesthetics, perfect carry-on size, organized without overcomplicating things.

This backpack is loaded with features, it looks cool, has a great brand story and best of all to me, it’s a carry-on that feels bigger than a normal carry-on size backpack. I give it a 5 / 5

"...is it one of those bags that operates like Hermione’s beaded bag in Harry Potter? Most definitely! You can throw anything at it and it simply handles it and keeps a pretty low profile, unlike a traditional travel bag (like an Osprey) – on-body, it has the silhouette and feel of your typical EDC pack. But the true genius is in the design and details. I think this is where I fell in love with the Pakt Travel Backpack. It’s just so damn functional. The flexibility to adjust to what you need and how you want to carry it cannot be overlooked. Combine that with the fact that the backpack doesn’t get bloated on-body the way other bags with large carry potential do, and it feels like you have a secret weapon on your back."
