Tortuga

Served me well on a 3 week trip all across Asia. Packing light in one bag makes traveling so much better and the Tortuga backpack took it like a champ. It's very tough, comfortable and could carry everything I need.

My husband and I spent several weeks going to 5 different countries in Europe. I had purchased a Tortuga backpack and my husband brought one he had purchased from his work. (An outdoor company we will not name here) My bag was so much easier to get items in and out. I especially appreciated the pocket for the laptop and hip pockets. I have traveled a lot before this trip with other bags, but this one has become my new favorite. I had also purchased the rain cover which worked out great for me as well. As I read on their website, if you are an over packer this bag is NOT for you. It holds a lot of clothes, but you still need to be careful. Overall a wonderful bag that I have recommended to other friends.

I bought a set for myself and my daughter. I also bought the travel cubes and day packs - we use them all the time (the day pack is awesome). I highly recommend these for any traveler with kids.

Used it while on vacation at Seattle. Fulfilled all of my expectations!

After spending a month traveling around Europe, I can honestly say this is the best backpack I have ever used. I've used other backpacks and a rolling suitcase on previous trips but the Tortuga is in another league altogether. It was the perfect size to hold everything I needed for the month but more importantly, it was very comfortable. After this experience, I've replaced my old backpack with the Tortuga on my daily (bike) commute to work. Love this bag!
