Who should get this backpack?

I think this backpack is geared towards the travelling businessman or remote worker.  

While it doesn’t have the most techy features, there are enough compartments to store and organise your laptops, devices, and more, while also packing your clothes and other essentials.

But this Nomatic bag is also perfect for anyone who needs a spacious and versatile backpack that they can take on short trips and getaways!

Who should not get this backpack?

This bag is not a personal-item backpack so it won’t fit in front of you on a flight. So, if you’re looking for something smaller and more compact, this may not be the bag for you…

Moreover, while it’s got waist and sternum straps, this isn’t the most comfortable backpack you will find. If having the best ergonomics is a big priority, I’d recommend considering other options too.

Nomatic Travel Bag 40L Review

My first impression of this bag is that it’s giving me North Face vibes. My partner has two of their duffle bags and this reminds me of them, but almost better.

When you buy the Nomatic Travel Bag 40L, you will get waist straps and a laundry bag.

What is the difference between the Travel Bag 30L and 40L versions?

Besides being 10L smaller than the 40L Travel Bag, the shoe compartment on the 30L has a ventilated door with a water-resistant flap allowing you to choose if you want to keep water out or allow for ventilation. 

The 40L Travel Bag does not include a ventilated shoe compartment but does come with a custom laundry bag to keep dirty clothes separate as you travel.

Back to our 40L review…

There is a lot to unpack with this backpack, so let's get started!

How well-made is the Travel Bag 40L?

Just straight out, I love the shape of the Travel Bag 40L and how well it holds its shape, both packed and unpacked.

It is jet black so I couldn’t see all of the cool features until I explored the bag a bit more, which is great in terms of travelling as it’s not overly eye-catching. Plus, it was fun to figure out all the different parts and organisations, and this is overall a great, reliable bag.

The backpack uses a water-resistant tarpaulin material composed of 90% polyester and 10% nylon. 

What I especially love is that it’s vegan and made of 100% synthetic materials.

The industry-standard YKK zippers run great, while the PU coating allows nothing to seep in, which is exactly what you want to protect your belongings.

They also have tags to help pull them open easily.

One thing to note is that because of the colour and everything blends together, there’s a higher chance you might open up the wrong zip from time to time.

The handle on the top of the bag is strong and sturdy. It stays in this shape, stays up, and is well-padded. All in all, it does the job well.

While there is no side handle, the backpack can enter duffle bag mode so you have the two straps on the side of the bag. There’s a folded clip on one side that you can place over the two main straps. 

The construction is great for when you want to carry the bag that way!

At the bottom of the backpack, there is an extra handle that has this seatbelt-like material, which is handy for hanging up the back or picking it up or out of places. 

The material of one of the inner pockets is also laminated which makes it easy for spillages. Just fold it out and dry it off.

Overall I think this Nomatic bag aims to do well. It’s adaptable, stylish, and simple.

How comfortable is the Nomatic Travel Bag 40L?

In backpack mode, I feel like there is a huge lack of support, airflow, and overall thought when it comes to comfort.

I think there could have been so much more done here that would make this an even better travel bag, especially for people like myself who need extra support. And even those who don’t, your back is just going to get sweaty when carrying it.

However, I guess I can kind of see with it being the main opening for that main compartment, so maybe they felt that would be too much or too heavy. Also maybe because this bag goes from duffle to backpack and vice versa, keeping it clean and minimal is what works best…

The strap comfort is fine and decent, but not great.  

For the price and compared to other travel backpacks, the whole back strap system of the Nomatic Travel Bag 40L could definitely be improved.

I would have loved to have seen more adjustable straps at the top of the backpack where you then have control over how straight and tight it can come into your shoulders and upper back.

Without this, you are left with a gap and the material is that seatbelt-like material. This won’t be a problem if you’re wearing a jacket with enough padding on it yourself. 

Otherwise, in hot weather, you will notice the rubbing on the skin which may cause blistering because of the lack of connection and the gap created

The main straps on the chest area can feel suffocating as there’s not much room here. There’s also a sternum strap that can be adjusted but not removed.

The sternum strap doesn’t have any added elastic to stop the excess material from flapping about so it just hangs there along with the rest of the material on the main straps and waist belt when you have that on.

Again for the price (and this goes for the 15L Lite too), I think Nomatic needs to upgrade the hardware. I’m seeing a lot of plastic and a lack of durability.

But with all that said, this bag is fine if you’re not hiking or walking for long periods of time.

Overall, I recommend using the waist belt as it helps distribute the weight, while the sternum strap will provide the support that the back of the backpack lacks.

What makes the Travel Bag 40L a great backpack?

So, what exactly makes the Travel Bag 40L so great? Here are some of its notable features:

1. Transformable duffle backpack

You’ve probably realized that this is no ordinary backpack. It’s transformable and doubles as a duffle bag, which is adaptable to your needs and comfort.

When in duffle mode or not in use, the waist belt is removable via gatekeeper which is a better hardware style than the plastic. 

But if you are transforming from duffle to backpack mode, the hip straps should probably come off otherwise they are left hanging there and can be in the way. 

Personally, I don’t use this backpack as a duffle bag as I don’t find it useful for my lifestyle and daily wear. 

But if you do then this is definitely a huge plus and allows you to only bring one bag for multiple purposes, especially when travelling.

2. Very spacious

The bag itself is very spacious at 40L, which is perfect for travel.

The back part of the backpack is where you open up to the main compartment of the bag. It has something akin to a clamshell opening in that the bag opens up widely and makes it easy to pack and find specific items.

Nomatic does their own packing cubes and I feel like it would work well for getting the best out of the space, so I would recommend getting maybe 2 large, medium, and a small cube in there.

This will make organising all your stuff much easier too.

The bag is said to be ideal for 3-7 day trips, though I always think you can get more when you pack smarter (i.e. with packing cubes)

Also, this feels great for long travel. Say you are someone who wants one backpack that is not overly tall but with enough space to get through your adventures.

3. Great organisation system

There are three quick-access pockets at the top of the backpack, and the one closest to the handle inside is lined with microfleece so you can put your glasses, earphones, etc in there.

It does have a cord pass-through pocket which makes it easy to store a power bank or portable charger inside while still using your phone.

Then there is the side tech pocket. This is where you can store money or other valuables as you can add a lock here when necessary, which I LOVE.

This compartment is sleek, it has all the fun you need for organising your smaller items.

It’s also RFID blocking and has smaller pockets, two bigger pockets, and a meshed pocket.

What more could you want?

On the other side are two more pockets, which are great for things you need quick access to.

Moving on to the bottom, there’s a shoe compartment for placing your dirty shoes and keeping them separate from your other items.

I love that this is separate from the main compartment and doesn’t take up room inside even when not in use.

Moreover, you’ve got a laptop compartment here that is not overly padded but has a microfleece material to prevent scratches and whatnot on your laptop. It’s nothing fancy but does the job. 

This space fits up to 16 inches, and in reference, my 11-inch Acer sits very nicely here.

Directly in front is a smaller pocket with the same fleece material, both held down by a velcro strap.

There is another pocket near the water bottle compartment (which I’ll get to in more detail in the “cons” section below) that’s great for things you might need first access to or simply keeping everything organised.

This one doesn’t run too deep which is great because you won’t be faffing about with it.

I’m thinking of when it’s in the overhead bin on a flight and you need to grab something fast from here, say a snack or your headphones.

With that said, just note that this pocket is easy to access, and should you leave your bag unattended, then someone could potentially unzip it easily.

Finally, the waist belt has two pockets on each side with waterproof material. It’s not overly big but enough to keep cards, your ID, and a phone.

4. Versatile look

This bag is very premium looking while serving both interrailing and business trip vibes. In other words, it adapts well to whatever your travel situation is.

I also love this ballistic nylon material as it adds character to the bag.

This bit is water-resistant and the front of it can get crinkled if not stored properly—it kind of folds into itself.

5. Waterproof & easy to clean

The tarpaulin material on this Nomatic bag is impressively strong and sturdy.

This is something I would definitely take with me camping to places like Donegal as it’s easy to wipe down and I wouldn’t be fearful of getting the bag dirty!

They recommend wiping the bag down with a damp cloth and soap if needs be, but remember that it’s not machine washable.

Not to mention that it’s weather resistant, making it ideal for travel.

6. TSA-ready flap

An underrated feature of this bag is actually the TSA-ready flap.

This smart design allows you to breeze through airport security without having to fumble with all your gadgets.

You can pass through TSA while keeping your tech inside the bag!

Cons of the Travel Bag 40L

What I immediately noticed about this backpack is that there is a lot of excess material but not enough added material.

I can understand this because the added material would take away from this sleek, clean, and minimalist design. But still, I would have loved maybe an extra loop or hook that I could externally attach things like my headphones, tripod, dumbbells, etc.

The backpack does have a luggage slit, but it does fall horizontally. I think it works well for this backpack but is not great because of the position of some of the pockets where if you open them things might fall out.

A big drawback for me is that there is no external water bottle holder. 

Yes, there’s a place for your water bottle at the top of the bag, which can hold up to about 9-inch-sized bottles. It has a water-resistant material so is fairly easy to clean.

But I personally don’t keep my bottle here as I prefer it to be on the side and outside of the bag so it doesn’t take up the internal room.

Another thing is that I wouldn’t love to be wearing this backpack on a hot day or in hotter countries. The material, although waterproof and strong, is the type that will stick to your skin on those hotter days. 

Good thing I live in Ireland so this isn’t too much of a problem for me.

The material here is also a bit stiff and heavy , which may or may not be your cup of tea, but is worth noting!

Nomatic Travel Bag 40L: Performance over time

Here are my impressions in bullet points after using the Travel Bag 40L for the first time, and then three weeks later.

• Bulky, strong, and overall a great spacious backpack 
• Clean and sleek in its design
• A lot of features to keep you interested

After 3 weeks:

• Continues to be strong and great to pack up with plenty of space, and comes with a hip belt and laundry bag 
• There is no real back support on the bag such as a cushion or airflow so on a hot day that material will make you sweaty
• Easy to clean, got great features, and sturdy bag for long trips or short adventures

• Optimized size for maximum legal carry on.
• Nice additional touches, such as waterproof pocket, shoe compartment and laundry basket.
• Hip-belt is detachable and comes with slanted-zipper pockets for easy access.
• Laptop compartment isn’t ideal for quick access and can make it hard to close the pack.
• Duffel and shoulder strap system is a little bit clunky in practice.
• The pack is trying to do too much and it clutters the experience.

NOMATIC is known for their extremely successful crowdfunding campaigns, where they create innovative and unique travel gear. Designed as “the most functional travel bag ever”, the Travel Bag raised a massive $5m on Kickstarter and Indiegogo combined. It’s maximum legal carry on compatible and comes with lots of unique features that you’ve probably never seen before.

But will those features actually prove to be functional on the road? We took the NOMATIC Travel Bag around Detroit, LA, Joshua Tree, New York and Minneapolis for testing and to find out just how practical these unique features really are.

Material & Aesthetic

Not to be confused with their “Travel Pack,” The NOMATIC Travel Bag looks like a giant box on your back—because that’s basically what it is.

Other bags that utilize a “box-y” shape, such as the Minaal Carry-on 2.0 , have added some curvature to the edges, making it less box-like. Not so with this pack! NOMATIC really went all-in on this one, taking advantage of every corner to maximize space. The result is some pretty sharp, box-like corners.

If you can’t tell already, we aren’t huge fans of the aesthetic—but you do get that extra capacity in the corners which is always nice to have.

NOMATIC boasts that the bag is made of strong, waterproof tarpaulin material that will “last forever.” However, we’ve found that while the tarp is strong—and totally weather resistant—the other materials on the bag are somewhat lacking.

The tarpaulin material makes up the top, front, sides and bottom of the pack (5 out of 6 sides of the cube), and there’s also some on the straps, along with some foam padding.

However, that means the back panel is not made from waterproof material. It’s made of a ballistic weave (either polyester or nylon material) and some more padding.

What this really means is that if you were to place the bag in a puddle of water, the water would seep right in and soak all your gear. This seems like a strange choice to us. Why advertise the pack with waterproof materials, when the bottom of the pack, where you set it down in duffel mode, isn’t even water resistant ?

Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, this front panel seems to negate the benefits of the tarpaulin that is used for the other panels (which, as it happens, is totally weather proof, seriously resilient stuff).

We can’t seem to figure out why they wouldn’t have just included the tarpaulin (or some other waterproof material) on the back panel as well. Lowered costs? Worldwide tarpaulin shortages? A full-blown government conspiracy? Who knows.

In terms of branding, there is a simple, low key logo in the bottom corner. We’re fans of minimalistic branding here at Pack Hacker, so we’re glad they didn’t go with anything more flashy.

In addition to the logo, they also have some triangle patterns in various places on the pack (the trendy mountain/triangle image is their logo). These are a little bold for our taste, and we’d prefer the designs to be a bit more subtle. Perhaps less contrast between the pack and the triangles would help, or just having the designs appear in fewer places. Having said that, some people certainly appreciate more conspicuous branding—to each their own.

Wrapping it up, there are some sturdy Duraflex® buckles used on the harness system, and metal zippers on the pockets and main compartment.

The main compartment also features some partially “hidden” zippers, for increased security.

Overall, NOMATIC has chosen some solid, durable materials for this pack—although we’ve heard a couple reports of broken zippers. And while we do love the waterproof tarpaulin, we just wish it encompassed the entire bag. Alas. Let’s move on and take a look at the outside of the pack.

External Components

One quick look at this bag and you can easily see that the external features of the Travel Bag are… minimal. The folks at NOMATIC have chosen to maintain a simple external style, reserving the main innovations for the inside of the pack. It certainly makes for a clean look!

First off, on the top of the pack we have a SUPER thick carry handle. It’s really strong and padded, almost to a fault. We’ve never needed a handle to be quite this thick, and it seems like they have gone a little overboard with the padding. (You know it’s serious when we say it’s too much padding!)

There is also a smaller handle on the bottom side of the pack. We have found this to be useful when pulling your pack off of conveyor belts at the airport, grabbing it from underneath a bus, or out of an overhead bin. In general, we’ve found that additional handles are rarely a problem and can actually quite convenient.

In contrast to the top handle, we think the bottom handle is actually a little too thin! We wish NOMATIC had balanced these handles out a bit. Take a little padding and strength from the top handle and add it to the bottom one, then both would be perfect.

Halfway down the back panel is a horizontal “pass through” section, so you can carry it securely on top of a roller suitcase when passing through the airport or getting to your bus or taxi. NOMATIC is obviously targeting a broad section of travelers with this pack, so this feature will be super useful if you’re traveling with roller luggage.

Now we come to one of the main talking points of this pack—the shoulder straps that double up as “duffel style” straps.

NOMATIC has designed this bag as something of a cross between a backpack and a duffel bag. This means the straps are a bit more complex than your average shoulder strap.

Rather than being solidly anchored at the bottom of the pack—as with most backpacks—the straps run through a Duraflex slider and back up to the top of the pack. When you want to carry the pack in duffel mode, you can pull the “extra” section of the straps (that run back up to the top of the pack) and carry the pack using those—just like a duffel bag.

NOMATIC Travel Bag Shoulder / Duffel Strap System

When it’s time to use the bag in backpack mode, just pull the “main” sections of the straps (which are padded, and run from the top of the pack down to the sliders) and use those to carry the bag on your back.

It’s a novel concept, with a fairly slick execution. NOMATIC even has a clip in their promo video where the guy converts it to a duffel by throwing the bag up in the air, grabbing the straps on the way down, and walking away all non-chalant.

But in practice, we didn’t find it to be all that practical. While we did give it a go ourselves, it took a few tries to get it right—and throwing your bag in the air while flailing your arms as it careens to the ground in the middle of the airport is decidedly not cool.

Our final point on the shoulder straps is the absence of load lifters, meaning the pack tends to sag a little, especially when not fully loaded. With all the thought and research that’s gone into this pack, it’s surprising they missed these out. Load lifters would have been a small addition that would really improve the carry.

In addition to the flawed harness system, there were a few other practical blunders with this bag.

NOMATIC Travel Bag In Duffel Mode

Firstly, this thing is really wide. This means you have to hold it quite far away from your body to avoid it bumping into your legs while you walk. If you take a look at the marketing photos on NOMATIC’s website, you’ll notice that even their models seem to be holding it far away from their body as they carry it in duffel mode. This isn’t an enormous gripe, as you likely won’t be using it in duffel mode very often—but it isn’t quite as functional as NOMATIC might make it out to be.

NOMATIC Travel Bag Snap Handle

Secondly, the duffel strap is designed with a fabric handle, which wraps around the straps and clips in place with some snap buttons. Because of the width of the bag and the fact that we were carrying the pack fully loaded, these buttons actually popped undone when lifting the pack.

It seems like this system could have been thought through more carefully. Developing systems to improve the carry is all good, but what’s the point of having that feature if it won’t function properly when the pack is fully loaded?

Finally, another nitpick with the system is that we often found ourselves catching a hand on the duffel straps while putting the pack on as a backpack. It’s not a huge issue—and perhaps we would get used to the “technique” as we used the pack more—but it just seemed like an unnecessary inconvenience when all we wanted to do was grab the pack and go. As far as we’re concerned, you shouldn’t have to learn a special technique to put a backpack on.

With all this discussion around the multi-functional shoulder strap system… it begs the question: when would you actually want to carry a bag of this size like a duffel bag anyway?

Generally duffel bags are used to carry gear for short distances, like from your car to the gym. For longer travel, the shoulder strap backpack design is better in almost every way. There are certainly situations when you want to just grab the bag and carry it a short distance—from the security conveyor belt to the inspection table is one that springs to mind—but that’s what side handles are for. It seems like a problem that’s already been solved in a much simpler way, and we’ve been starting to feel like the whole duffel bag function is a little gimmicky.

Anyway! Enough gripes. Let’s take a look at the hip belt, which we really like.

Unfortunately for some body types—namely those with a longer torso—the “hip belt” will actually work out to be more of a “stomach belt,” which can be uncomfortable. Not to worry though, because the hip belt is detachable, and that makes us happy!

With a pack of this size, a detachable hip belt is always a welcome addition. With smaller bags you can get by without it, but when you’re talking about a larger bag for extended travel, you really need a hip belt. Of course, if it doesn’t fit you properly, it’s great to have the option to remove it, rather than having the unused straps flapping around all the time.

Another thing we like about the hip belt is that it has pockets with a slanted zipper. Having the zipper at a slanted angle makes it easier to look down at what’s inside the pocket and access your quick grab items while wearing the pack. The only complaint we have about these pockets is that they aren’t 3D, which reduces the capacity and limits what type of items you can put in them.

If you’re planning to put something long and rigid in here—such as your phone—it’s going to be tough. Larger phones have a pretty tight fit. Plus, if you do get it in, it means the hip belt won’t wrap properly around your waist. Long story short, these pockets are best for smaller items or flexible stuff like cash, tickets or receipts.

With all that said, most of the features are on the inside of the pack—so let’s open it up and see what we have in there.

Internal Components

Alright, the inside of this pack is where things start to get interesting.

Starting at the bottom of the pack, there is a spacious, separate compartment to store your shoes. We really love when bag companies include a shoe compartment! If you’re used to traveling with an extra set of footwear, you’ve probably ended up wrapping them in a bag of some sort and just stuffing them in your pack with the rest of your clothes. We prefer not have our funky shoes so close to clean underwear and toiletries, so shoe compartments are always a welcome addition.

If you’re not carrying shoes, then this section will come in useful for storing bulky items you’d prefer to keep away from your clean clothes in the main compartment. Great for wet clothes or other odds and ends.

Next up on the “awesome and unique features list” is a packable laundry basket that you can take out, untwist, hang on a doorway and use as a laundry basket right in your hotel room. (Just as you’d have at home—yay!)

If you’re not planning on washing your clothing at all on a trip, you can just load up your dirty clothes in here and stuff the laundry bag in your pack when it’s time to leave. Take it all home and wash it there.

Again, this solves a nice little problem for us. Too often we end up stuffing laundry items into plastic bags, or finding other ways to keep dirty clothes separate from clean items. This provides a great solution to that and it has the added benefit of helping to keep your hotel room floor free of dirty clothes. If you use it, that is.

NOMATIC Travel Bag Top Pocket

Taking a look at the top of the pack, there’s a pocket similar to the shoe compartment that opens right up and offers a good amount of storage space. It’s a bit smaller than the shoe compartment, and we found it useful for storing bulky items, or things like socks and underwear that you want to keep separate and organized.

Right next to that pocket, there’s another pocket which is lined with a totally waterproof, shiny tarp-like material. Since NOMATIC doesn’t include any external water bottle compartments—because they wanted to keep that slick, box shape—they created this pocket to give the option of storing a water bottle. This, once again, solves a unique problem. We can all relate to that anxious feeling you get when putting water bottles in the main compartment with the rest of your gear (ie; electronics). Fear no more.

This pocket could also be useful for toiletries. Not only to safeguard against leaks, but also because the location at the top of the pack provides easy access if you need to take them out quickly—like at security, or when you want to freshen up at a rest stop.

Finishing up the top of the pack, there is also a little felt-lined pocket. It’s designed for quick grabs—passport, tickets and other items needed for security—but the extra special feature is the felt lining. Great for protecting your phone and other electronics from scratches—a really nice touch that we haven’t seen on many other packs.

Moving on, on one side of the pack there are two external zippered pockets. One is two-thirds of the length of the pack, and the other makes up the final third. They’re simple pockets with no separate compartments inside.

One of the issues with these pockets—like the pockets on the hip belt—is that they aren’t 3D. They don’t have their own dedicated space, so stuffing them with gear will eat into the storage space on the inside of the bag. Likewise, stuffing the main compartment to its limit will also make it hard to get items into the outer pockets. It’s not a major issue, but it’s worth noting that you’ll have to find a balance when packing your gear.

Flipping to the other side of the bag, there’s a large pocket that fully opens up and reveals a lot of small organizational compartments inside. Looking closely, there are two stretchy mesh pockets down at the bottom, as well as another felt material section. At the top, there’s a fairly large compartment that opens and closes with a zipper.

We also have a pocket that’s lined with RFID-safe material. It’s designed for things like passports, credit cards, phones, or anything that you want to block from external signals. Whether you actually see value in this feature is a matter of personal preference, but it’s there for anyone who does want to use it. It’s still a great pocket to have, even if you’re not really concerned about the RFID protection element.

Overall, the zippered pockets in this section are going to be the most useful. The nylon, stretchy pockets and slider pockets are nice to have, but when you start moving around the contents are going to get mixed up inside, undoing all that organization. The items in the zippered pockets will stay put.

You also want to be a little careful when opening up this section—if you end up with loose items bouncing around they have a tendency to fall out when you open the bag up. The last thing anyone needs is their gear bouncing around on the street or on busy public transport. That’s no fun.

Now for the main event—the clam shell main compartment, which NOMATIC describes as “a full perimeter zipper to give you the widest opening possible, for optimal packing and easy access to the interior of the bag.” We can confirm that this is exactly what you get. It is basically a giant bucket with a lot of storage capacity.

And it’s here that we’ve come to appreciate the sharp corners of the pack. Being able to pack right up into the corners means you can pack it like a suitcase, flat packing your clothes in a really organized way.

The only thing to bear in mind here is that the pockets on the bottom and sides will eat into that main compartment space if you load them up too heavily. Employ a little mindfulness when packing items into the pockets/main compartment though, and you have a ton of room.

We’ve found we can fit two rows of packing cubes in here, which is very satisfying and helps keep everything super organized. The main compartment is also ideal for flat packing clothes—especially shirts and other items that have been ironed and need to stay flat.

Moving through the laundry list of internal components, we’re finally hitting on the oh-so-important electronics compartment. The lid of the main compartment is set up to accommodate all your flat electronics. There are two flat pockets on the inside of the lid—a smaller tablet pocket and a larger pocket just behind that for your laptop. The laptop pocket is spacious, and we had no problem fitting in a 15-inch Macbook Pro.

Unfortunately, there is a small issue with this system. When the bag is really full, it can feel like you’re jamming down your electronics if you try to force the lid closed on an overly packed bag. You don’t get this issue when the laptop pockets are at the back of your pack (against your back, like a framesheet—the absence of which causes this pack to crumple easily and suffer from a lack of structure), as is common with most packs.

Having your laptop in the lid of the pack also makes the lid very rigid. It’s hard to open the bag slightly, take a peek in, and grab whatever you need. You’re forced to really open the pack up before you can reach any items, because the lid won’t flex and give you space to reach a hand in.

This issue is exacerbated somewhat by the zipper being somewhat hidden. It’s a security feature, which is actually really useful for preventing would-be thieves from unzipping your pack and grabbing your stuff. The flip side of this extra security is that it also makes it harder for you to just crack open the pack and reach for items in a hurry.

Having said that, NOMATIC has included a lot of external storage options for items you want quick access to, such as the felt lined quick grab pocket on the top, and the zippered side compartments. If you get used to using those, you shouldn’t need to reach into the main compartment too often.

Overall, the internal features of this bag are pretty useful in practice. We’re especially pleased with the waterproof bottle pocket and the laundry bag, which are unique features that really come in handy while traveling.

Durability & Testing

At the time of this review, we’ve been testing the NOMATIC Travel Bag on trips across the US, in cities like Joshua Tree, Los Angeles, Detroit, Minneapolis, and New York City.

Overall, the durability and quality of the pack has held up so far. There aren’t any scratches or scuffs on the material and we haven’t noticed any fraying or damage.

Usage Timeline

Condition: Fine

The pack is working well, but the couple of gripes with the harness system and the unbuttoning duffle straps right of the bat are ominous signs.

Same condition – no blemishes on the fabric yet and overall holding up well after 2 months.

[Review] The 40L Travel Bag Bundle by Nomatic

The Nomatic 40L Travel Bag is quite possibly the carry-on sized travel bag of the century. The Travel Bag is for the explorer, the minimalist, the over-packer, the on-the-go business person, the van-lifer, the busy mom or dad, the disorganized boyfriend or highly organized girlfriend. There’s no arguing that if you travel at all, the 40L Travel Bag will be the only bag you reach for when you go to pack. With a well thought out design and separate organization spaces throughout, the Travel Bag seriously makes traveling easier.

Whether you go with the Travel Bag or the Travel Bag Bundle, your packing skills are going to skyrocket. Personally, we think the extra money is worth the bundle because the accessories are great. In addition to the 40L Travel Bag, the bundle includes a laundry bag, waist straps, shirt organizer, toiletry bag & vacuum bag. The vacuum bag and toiletry bag our two of our most used accessories, but they all have a time and place.

Tyson’s absolute favorite part about the Travel Bag is the easy access laptop and tablet sleeve. Without unloading your entire bag in the airport security line, you can access your laptop or tablet or both by just unzipping the top of the main zipper and grabbing your gear out. It’s quick and hassle-free and decreases the stress of trying to get all of your s*** together in the security line.

While living out of these bags for a month, we realized the importance of the integrated organization pockets. It’s much easier to stay organized, move quickly, and decrease travel stress when you know where everything is and have a designated place for all of your belongings. We’re both used to the black hole approach for suitcases but this bag made traveling in Europe easy and efficient.

The shoe compartment keeps your dirty shoes away from clothes, the fleece-lined valuables pocket keeps your sunglasses from getting damaged or scratched, and the secure RFID pocket gives you piece of mind that your Passport won’t be taken. There’s also a water bottle pocket that is entirely waterproof so if your bottle happens to leak, it won’t get anything wet.

Something that is very important to us and absolutely worth mentioning is that we’ve traveled with the Travel Bag for many months now (including the aforementioned trip to Europe) and the bag is still in incredible shape and looks as good as new. On top of really using the Travel Bag, we haven’t been careful with it. We’re sure to use and abuse it and it is, after all, a travel bag. It’s pretty incredible that after all the places/floors/airplanes the Nomatic Travel Bag has been with us, it still looks like a dang nice bag in really great condition. Nomatic uses high quality, durable materials and it shows.

The conversion of the Travel Bag from a backpack to a duffle is quick and simple, though our preferred style is for sure the backpack! The included waist straps are key if you’re going to be doing a lot of walking or training etc. with your travel bag. The waist straps ensure a proper and supported fit and as portrayed in the video, help keep the bag in place no matter what kind of rush you’re in.

If you’re ready to get your travels in order and stay organized with your packing, definitely be sure to check out the 40L Travel Bag by Nomatic. They also have Travel Bags in smaller sizes as well as packs and a collection of accessories! This is the one bag we’ve always needed and never knew we wanted. It’s extremely durable, so well thought out, and made for the traveler by the traveler. You’ll never say, “oh, I wish it had this” because we guarantee that Nomatic has already thought of it.

We’d like to take a second and dedicate this post to the thief who stole one of our Nomatic Travel Bags in Italy. You may have gotten a lot of my dirty clothes, but you also got a dang nice bag! I hope maybe one day the bag you stole from me will help you leave the life you live of stealing people’s belongings and help you find a better place where you can live wholeheartedly and honestly. 

We have teamed up with Nomatic as Ambassadors which means when you purchase gear using our link , we get a small kickback from your purchase (no additional cost to you). We appreciate your support!

40L Travel Bag

• Easy access laptop and tablet sleeve
• Very durable and still looks new after months of use
• Keeps you so so organized
• Dedicated pockets keep your belongings safe, clean, and dry
• Affordable bag especially for the quality
• Cally doesn't love the toiletry bag (part of the bundle) but they have redesigned it so stay tuned!

I love anything outside, my hound dog, and adventures big or small.

What's Different About The Updated NOMATIC Bags?

What's different about the bags you already love

Our bags have been loved for years by 50,000 customers worldwide. We are so grateful for the positive reactions we continue to receive from people who are crazy about our products. 

To create our bags, we surveyed thousands of people, created several prototypes, and went through years of testing to create a product that we were confident was the most functional bag on the market.

Still, one of NOMATIC's core values is constant improvement. When it comes to our products, this means listening to our customers and continually educating ourselves about new materials and techniques. 

As we've improved our processes, gained knowledge, and learned from you, we decided to make some changes to the bags you already love. Here are some of the changes we've made to our bags, making them the bags you already love, but even better.

Updated minimalist style

The classic version of our bags sports a triangle pattern on a diagonal panel. The new version has a straight-stitch canvas to give the bags the more minimalist design that you, our customers, are looking for.

Increased scratch resistance

The exterior fabric on the new version of our NOMATIC bags is more scratch resistant. While our classic version is also manufactured with a tarpaulin material, making it water-resistant and durable, the new version is built with a tougher carbonite-coated 6PM tarpaulin. This keeps your bag looking sleek and polished longer.

YKK zippers

The main zippers on the NOMATIC Travel Pack , NOMATIC Backpack , and NOMATIC Messenger Bag  are now YKK brand — known to be the leader in their field. We've done this to give you the added confidence that you're buying a top-of-the-line bag that will last.

Increased security

To make your bag even more secure, we've removed the two bottom zippers. You still have full perimeter access from any angle, but you have the option of locking the two zips together to ensure people can't access the bag when you're not aware.

Higher-end interior

The new interior material is higher quality than that on the classic version, resulting in a better-looking and stronger interior.

Easier hip belt attachment

We wanted to make attaching and removing the waist straps on our backpacks even easier so we added hypalon belt loops. Not only do these make adding straps easier, the hypalon makes them even stronger, for ease supporting a big weight.

Stronger chest strap

The chest strap is designed to carry the load of your bag so you don't feel it on your shoulders. The new one is stronger, to go further. 

Note: The classic version of our bags are still available for a limited time in our clearance section at a discounted price.
