this is the best dedicated two-bag travel combo I’ve ever used, just for the fact that it’s comfortable to use, even with the smaller bag latched on.

I’d usually be a tad skeptical of a debut product from a newer brand, but I’ve been roundly impressed with what Salkan has put together. If you’re looking for a pack for your next adventure, I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
