Best travel backpack ever

REALLY wish it came in one of the more durable fabrics. The xpac fabric would be perfect. Just used for 2 weeks in Europe. Carried 2 big laptops and a tablet, and 5 days worth of clothes. Despite the weight from the electronics, the bag carries really well and really does have all day comfort. Highly recommend this bag for minimalist long haul travelers, those who really want a 'do it all' one bag solution for adventure travel that includes long walks with fully packed bag.

Excellent but not perfect

I’m loving the new, larger Traverse. Some things to know: it’s heavy, over 4 pounds on my scale. The bag is comfy and the integrated hip belt helps to distribute a heavy load, however the comfort would have been improved significantly with the addition of load lifters. It’s not 38 liters in volume. Probably somewhere around 32L, but definitely not 38.

It feels great to finally own the backpack I wanted.

It offers space to store clothing, the side pockets are very useful, and I really like the top pocket, which is handy for quick access in emergencies. I’ve been using Alpaka products exclusively, and for me, this is an excellent backpack with absolutely no downsides.
