30L - The Traveler Duffel

Everyone gets their own compartment! Must have four traveling, especially plane travel

I bought on a recommendation from a friend and as someone who is careful and hesitant on purchases, I was a little apprehensive. After taking on a vacation, as my personal item, and two subsequent trips to a theme park I will forever be a TOBIQ stan. The 30L is truly the perfect bag. I really have zero complaints (just a small rec that it had an external water bottle holder). Otherwise it was really nice to store snacks, entertainment, sunscreen, changes of clothes, first aid supplies, and the list could go on and on. This is also the perfect size for a summer day bag, I don't know if I'll ever leave the house with out it moving forward.

I live with this 30l back pack! Its been:
* on a bus tour of Ireland with my rugby team
* the best carry on on for flights all over the USA
* road trippin' around New England
* my dedicated school bag
* our daybag in Monterey, CA for the Sea Otter Classic (downhill Mt. bike race)
* gear bag for EMT class

.... my only regret, that i didn't buy the 60l bag with the initial discount. On a weekly basis someone will compliment this bag. Not much is "Nikki Tested Tough" but so far - this is doing some heavy lifting friends! Well made & still lookin' good.

One of the coolest bags I've seen. It will be perfect for travelling.

We were both looking for a personal item-friendly sized bag with a bonus for fun colors! He went with a Cotopaxi backpack while I found Tobiq - guess who won! The multiple compartments were a real asset to organize my camera, toiletry bag etc. He then borrowed it for his own week long trip, and attempted to re-pack the same stuff into his backpack when he came home. The duffel being a clear winner on accessibility.

Note that the water bottle bag is not “stretchy” in that the only way to secure it is with a pull cord, I think the only improvement can be to have the edge lined with some rubber to prevent longer bottles from slipping out.
