Heimplanet Transit Travel Pack Review
"Seriously Tasty"
A really solid feeling bag with lots of pockets both inside and outside the bag and enough capacity for the minimal traveler.
- Great feeling materials. Thick, durable, water resistant outer shell, solid zips and pulls, great straps and back padding. It all adds up to a nice, dense, quality feeling in packing and traveling with the bag.
- A sleek-tech kind of look to the bag. The kind of thing Tony Stark or Elon Musk acolytes might feel very comfortable in (this is a compliment to the style, not a dig).
- Capacity is “medium” 1-bag travel to me; in the same category as the Minaal Carry On. So, it’s neither a large travel bag or a small one. Makes it great for minimal travel, not so great as a daily carry bag once you get to your destination.
- 2 Medium pockets on the outside of the bag, laptop pocket, two zipped medium organizing pockets inside the bag, one large main compartment for clothing.
- Ultimately a very capable bag that can be a travel companion for years to come. I just wish it was either bigger or smaller.

What I like
- Great feeling materials: thick, dense, water resistant fabric, solid zips and pulls, comfortable straps and back padding
- Sleek tech look
- Lots of pockets inside and out: two quick access pockets outside, laptop and tablet sleeves, organizing pockets inside, one big clothing compartment
- Clamshell access plus a quick flap into the main compartment
- Fits under the seat in front of you on most airlines (with a little forcing)
- Carries a little better than the Minaal Carry-on, its direct competitor. I prefer it
- I lived in Mexico for three months out of this packing setup
Watch for
- Medium size: too big for daily carry once you get there, small if you like a big travel bag. I wish it was either bigger or smaller
- The outside pockets have no built-in dimension, so they get tight when the bag is packed out
- Water bottle pocket is tight

Able Carry Max
Solid & SoftReally lovely and thoughtfully crafted bag. Tons of organization, excellent comfort (super cushy straps), large enough for bigger EDC and travel needs but designed in a way that doesn't make it look funky when it's not packed out. Looks excellent, in fact. Super unique in its "softness." Watch the vid to get a sense of what I mean.
