Fyro Levo Travel Backpack (30L + 36L) Review

More on the Fyro Levo Travel Backpack (30L + 36L)

What I like

• One of the rare bags that's a real travel backpack and still works as a daily carry when you get there
• The straps and back panel are the headline: pillowy edgeless neck, neo lycra, great foam, load lifters
• Clean, minimal, no logos, black on black urban look
• 330D Cordura, same kind of material Peak Design uses, but with less padding so it's lighter, and it scuffs in nicely over time
• Laptop compartment is padded, lifted off the bottom, and your laptop just slides in
• Goldilocks organization: front tech pocket that runs all the way down, admin panel, hidden back passport pocket, side access
• Performance stretch mesh water bottle pocket, my favorite kind
• Comfy padded handles that don't snag

Watch for

• The top flap over the laptop area is thin and floppy, gets in the way when grabbing the laptop
• The little pocket beside the laptop is too shallow for a power brick
• Zips aren't water sealed (I like that, but bring a rain cover for downpours)
• The 30L feels a little big for daily carry, the 36L is full carry-on size

Specs

• Two sizes: 36L (about 2.5 lb) and 30L (2.28 lb on my scale)
• 330D Cordura exterior, 100D ripstop liner
• Load lifters, luggage pass-through, side access pocket
• Designed by Aaron Ratcliffe
