Trakke Storr Travel Backpack (20L, 25L, 35L) Review

"Modern Heritage"

The Storr backpack from Trakke is a lovely 30L pack for travel and gear moving.

  • Multiple sizes — Available in 20, 25 and 35 liter versions.
  • Killer waxed canvas material — British made, feels so dense and nice to the touch, will last for a long time.
  • Water resistant — all zips and materials are reinforced against water.
  • Simple and honest — it’s ultimately a very simple, honest bag that’s useful for travel, gear carry, and loads of other applications.

More on the Trakke Storr Travel Backpack (20L, 25L, 35L)

What I like

  • Incredible waxed canvas, handmade in Scotland. Heritage, heirloom quality, but modern enough
  • Perfect top front pocket for headphones, a laptop charger or a tech pouch, with a little detachable organizer sling
  • Sleek water bottle pockets on both sides that pull flat against the bag. My 32 oz Owala fits even in the 20L
  • Lovely little details: the strap adjusters with runes on them, the simple folded webbing handle, the bright yellow interior
  • Simple, every inch is capacity, and the top overlap gives you extra room when you zip it up
  • The 35L fits a surprising amount and goes under the seat in front of me on most airlines
  • The 20L is my favorite as a daily carry. The 25L is a large daily carry that can double as a travel bag

Watch for

  • The water-sealed zippers are durable but feel delicate to me, and they take a bit to break in
  • Laptop compartment opening is tight at first. The 20L fits a 13 inch, not my 16
  • The 35L is a bit big as a day bag on my frame unless I'm carrying camera gear
  • You pay more for it

Specs

  • Sizes: 20L, 25L, 35L
  • Weight: 2.98 lb (35L)
  • Waxed canvas, handmade in Scotland, made to order
  • Laptop: 25L and 35L fit my 16 inch MacBook Pro, 20L fits a 13 inch
  • YKK AquaGuard water-sealed zips
