Sea-Hawks Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 So, ordered a new backpack for my next Thailand trip. I ordered my new backpack assuming I would be receiving my backpack before the Thailand October opening for tourists...which now seems in jeopardy. A GPS tracker so if I lose my pack, I can locate it. Also has a notification feature linked to my phone, so if I get too far away from my pack, it will let me know Comes with 2 USB ports. 1 inside & 1 outside Battery life ranges from 8-24 hours depending on how many features I am using Battery is airplane compliant, so you can travel with it Very good speakers for external sound when walking/hiking I bought 3 extra outer shells. The white, black and clear see-through 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t be able to fit everything in it, but more spacious than a simple daypack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 $550🤯🤯 Carry a small cheap backpack around with me daytime, often after a few sun downers it ends up being christened in beer. I'd be terrified to take it out at that price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of sealable outside pockets, a smaller detachable pack, excellent lower back support, light and durable through the harsh Norwegian winters up north. You could have carried beer in it then pissed on it afterwards with no effect! (If it was Budweiser you wouldn't tell the difference) And I gave it back .........Probably one of the worst decisions I ever made! 😭 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of pockets & storage areas. Dedicated compartments, can fit up to 2 laptops, extra reinforced zippers and mesh, waterproof but breathable and soft cushion padding. Plan on still using for longer/bigger hauls. This latest one is for fun with lots of added features for tech guys Edited July 31, 2021 by Sea-Hawks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forqalso Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A little too pricey for me, but I like the concept. I have an Airtag and battery pack in my backpack but I bought them all separately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have purchased I would expect to be in most work backpacks in the near future (if not already!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 My travel bag is the Pacsafe Venturesafe GII Anti Theft Travel Backpack (25L). Fits under the seat, so don't have to bother with overhead storage. Because of the anti theft features I don't have to rely on hotel room safes. Quite durable too; it's held up great after five years of use. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
