This is by far, the best purchase I’ve ever done.
First of all, functionality.
It has a great design with various pockets and sections.
My suggestion - get yourself good organizers.
If you’re smart with how you manage your belongings, trust me, you can easily get away having just this backpack for months (unless you travel or stay at some cold area, where heavy, bulky clothes and boots are required)
It fits a lot and, in the same time, the backpack itself doesn't grow a giant size.
Second, design.
It’s minimalistic and just great. No numerous straps, hanging here and there, nothing unnecessary.
It’s just a bag, that you can manipulate its weight by using magnet connectors at the top and a strap at the chest level to reduce pressure from your spine.
Zippers are great quality, very reliable, never broken.
Bunch of really cool outside pockets.
On the “inside” part there is one for passport. In the bottom one I kept the small lock and a rain cover.
In the top you keep power-bank, headphones etc. whatever you use frequently, so you dont have to go all the way inside the bag every time.
Third, quality of materials. Just great.
Zippers, pockets (love the one for bottle), handles, bag itself - never broken, fine at any weather.
I had mine since covid year, (I think I got it on 2020 if memory serves…), and I moved around A LOT. Canada, Malta, Ukraine, Spain, Poland, Germany, Luxembourg, France…
Never a single problem at the airport with Raynair.
Lots of trains, buses, hotels and hostels, apartments, houses. My grey friend always with me, keeping all the things I needed.
To be honest with you all, I often felt that sense of almost arrogance and superiority while I saw some other travellers, having their backpacks as they looked way more clumsy, bulky and just too much…
I remember myself watching quite a few of youtube videos and reviews about backpacks, pros and cons, all that…
I knew that I’ll be moving a lot and didnt want to deal with the suitcases, so, had to be mobile as possible.
So, finally decided to go with Minaal 3.0, and, god, it was a good choice.
Yes, it’s pricy. And, I’ll repeat myself again here, you have to get good organizers and get used to it.
Cause if you don’t, it will take you more time to adapt, figure it out, and, most likely, you’ll end up using its space not at full potential.
But if you run it properly: get the organizers, play with the sections, what fits where, take your time, rotate your stuff here and there…
Then you’ll figure the “fengshui”, and find out that it can fit a sufficient amount of stuff for a really long time.
What else?..
I personally dont use laptop almost at all, but, when I needed, there is a good section for it. So, you have your laptop/tablet, firm and secure, no problem.
Unfortunately for me, I had it stolen couple days ago here in Madrid, and that was a devastating experience.
I dont stress out too much about the passport that was there, nor for most of the clothes. I can get the new ones, no problem. But the backpack itself with a little toy bunny from my little sister that I’ve been keeping with me for more than a decade… That is a very bitter pill to swallow, to say the least.
So, the reason I leave this comment now, is because I went to the website to see if this bag is still available, so I can keep in mind I’ll buy another one some day when I can afford it, and by chance saw the section with comments.
…And I know that some companies use fake comments and feedbacks in order to promote their product, whatever, market works the way it works, I’m not to judge.
But I wanted to make sure, that I’ll leave mine. A 100% real person, that had some real story and experience with this backpack, and, whoever reads this - just buy it. It’s totally worth it, and it will serve you forever (unless you are an unlucky idiot like me)
Round of applause to the team who run this company. Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to make another order at this web-site ✌️
