Nomatic Navigator Pack 15L Review
"Clean. Expandable. "
Beautiful design with expansion for more capacity and lots of little bits for organization.
More on the Nomatic Navigator Pack 15L
What I like
- A great tech-worker style bag. Rounded turtle shell look.
- The zipper around the bottom expands the main compartment when you need it. A masterful way to keep the bag small most of the time.
- Structured, gusseted shell, so it opens up without everything flopping forward.
- Lots of organization and dongle pockets, plus a rain fly.
- Fleece-lined quick access pocket up top. Smooth zippers.
- Laptop pocket in the back, with a bit of rigidness in the back panel. The straps feel great.
Watch for
- The side water bottle pocket doesn't fit my 32 oz bottle. There's an internal bottle spot instead.
- I'd like more dimension in the top pocket.
Specs
- 15L, expands to about 20L. About 2.7 lb.
- Fits a 16" laptop plus a large tablet.
