Road Tests :: Mission Workshop Vandal Backpack
www.carryology.com
This really is a great pack – one that innovates in a bunch of ways. While it’s been built with a cyclist in mind, it will still work great for climbers, surfers, dungeon masters and any number of adventure seekers as their go-to backpack. Expansion and versatility are perhaps its biggest trump cards, but water-resistance, comfort and great looks all help.
MISSION WORKSHOP VANDAL BACKPACK REVIEW (2018)
gearmashers.com
Mission Workshop did an exceptional job designing the Vandal and from our perspective they got almost everything right...The Backpack looks like it will hold up nicely and feels great while cycling. Given Mission Workshop guarantees the backpacks for life, there really isn’t any need to worry. Having the ability to expand the backpack is HUGE, literally for any commuter.
Mission Workshop Vandal Backpack Review

The Vandal eschews an overabundance of those compartments but smartly has two small outside vertical-zipper pockets on the lower back that are perfect for storing and quickly accessing a smartphone and other small essentials like a wallet, sunglasses, or keys.
Mission Workshop The Vandal backpack review

I can confidently say that for me the Mission Workshop Vandal backpack is that one bag that I have been looking for. Looks good enough for everyday use, and big enough to do grocery shopping and go the gym.
Mission Workshop Vandal

A hardworking, rugged, expandable backpack that can be small enough to take to work and large enough to take on holiday.
Tested: Mission Workshop - The Vandal - Bike & Travel Pack
www.mountainflyermagazine.com
Compared to most packs made specifically for the trail or road, the Mission Workshop Vandal is a different beast. It's not a lightweight, bright, hydration pack made to limit sweating and encourage drinking electrolytes. The Vandal is more workhorse, chameleon, simple, functional, creative yet challenging.
