Baseline Traveler Backpack

I’ve traveled for work on various types of events for different lengths of time throughout the years. Prior to purchasing the Traveler, I was using a tactical backpack for the pocket access and size. While it was working, the ease of packing wasn’t great. I purchased the Traveler off a recommendation from a friend whom has had the bag for a few months. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. My first trip for 4 days included airline travel. The ease of use to pack four days of clothes, with laptops, chargers and miscellaneous small items made this trip extremely stress free. I will never use another bag for any travel unless it is my Traveler backpack. I recommend this to everyone who uses a backpack and carry-on for their travels, as the luggage sleeve made airport travel a breeze on top of everything else. Lastly, the durability of the bag compared to any others in the past far exceeds my expectations, even from one trip.

The back zipper compartment comes unzipped constantly. This usually happens while I’m walking through busy airports and all of my personal items in said compartment go flying everywhere. On the days this doesn’t happen, I find myself repeatedly checking the zipper to make sure my bag is secured. The very front panel pops out completely or partially. B & G should have put a zipper there. Also, my water bottle falls out of the side pocket regularly. If I hadn’t spent so much money on this poorly designed item, I would have tossed in the trash a year ago.
