## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Packable as you can fold it away when not in use. This would do great as your secondary bag/daypack during long travels.
-   Has a built-in (15") laptop sleeve that can also serve as a water bladder sleeve.
-   Has tamper-resistant zippers which protect your belongings from pickpockets.

### Things to consider

-   As this is a collapsible bag, don't expect much comfort from straps. The "case" however double as a back panel for your back.
-   The laptop sleeve isn't protected as it isn't padded so use this sleeve with caution.

## What reviewers said

-   "I use it for traveling. It's nice to have a lil day bag when you go out adventuring you don't have to hold your water bottle and phone charger and things you wanna carry with you while you know you’re gonna be out a while exploring."
-   "Terrific size for day trips and takes up very little room in the suitcase. Really like the compartment for hanging a hydration bladder - very handy! Overall great backpack!"
-   "I have looked for dozens of collapsible backpacks, and this one is easily the best! It's SUPER easy to collapse and zip up, something I have found to be really hard with other packs. It's also very lightweight, durable, and retains its sleek form when collapsed."

## Reviews from around the web

**Nomatic Navigator Series**
[everydaycarry.com](https://everydaycarry.com/nomatic-navigator-series)

> It’s lightweight and durable, and folds to fit perfectly in the internal zippered pockets of the Travel Backpack or Navigator Carry-On, keeping out of the way until you need it.

**New NOMATIC Navigator series of backpacks, bags and suitcase announced on Kickstarter**
[www.novusfumus.com](https://www.novusfumus.com/en/blogs/blog/new-nomatic-navigator-series-of-backpacks-bags-and/)

> This is a "foldable" backpack that you can easily take with you for everyday use during holidays and city trips. The bag is therefore made to take with you in your suitcase, but can also be perfectly used for that long walk in the forest while skiing in the mountains. As you would expect from NOMATIC, this bag is also equipped with many practical functions such as a sleeve for a tablet or water bag, a water bottle holder, quick-access pockets and much more.
