Review on πŸŽ’ Deuter Transit Backpack Removable Anthracite: Ultimate Convenience and Style for Every Adventure by Jeremy Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for traveling backpackers

For a 6 week solo trip to South America I spent 9 months looking for bags. I needed something I could take into the jungle, carry around town, and not have to control. Verifying is a pain. You risk losing your bags and that slows you down. Check = items are always available to you. If I hadn't found this bag, I would have gone with a traditional backpack, but I wanted to avoid issues with straps, packing straps, and anything that doesn't stand out. at the box office as too big and obnoxious and was forced to review it. At 50 cubic inches, that's about the maximum you can handle as carry-on luggage. As a duffel bag and with a smaller detachable backpack, it hides from the radar quite well. I felt it would be riskier with a traditional 50 cubic inch backpack. This bag packs well and can be used for business trips without yelling anything with a backpacker. I was never forced to review this bag = great. There are both internal and external straps to compress your stuff. The backpack opens fully so you can see most of your belongings at a glance, which is a plus when you're constantly moving from place to place and need to inventory your belongings quickly. There is a smaller bottom section that can be used separately or integrated with the bulk of the bag. Inside there is a mesh, a flat pocket and a top cover. Directly below where the smaller package will be attached. The zippers are strong and the material is durable. It converts from a holdall to a backpack in about 30 seconds, with the fanny pack tucked into the bottom of the backpack. This easy transition comes in handy when transitioning from plane to customs, taxi, and cabin. The smaller detachable backpack met all my day trip needs and I was happy to have it available on the plane. small and handy, but still contain everything you need. Having your main bag stuffed to the brim when you attach it seems to limit your ability to make the most of the smaller bag's capacity, but I've never seen this as a major issue. As a duffel bag, there are 2 thick hand straps, one on top and one on the side, and a detachable shoulder strap. I had no problem packing clothes, toiletries and photo gear in this bag. As a backpack, I couldn't find another holdall with the same comfortable straps and waist belt. Beefy.Luxury when it comes to backpacking without a backpack. When placed in a duffel bag, the straps feel a little bulky under the suitcase, but I think it's worth it. The zippers are aligned and close enough together to be locked with cable locks. This is important if you are traveling with bags or need to leave your bag at the cottage. For a traveling trekker this is really not the best bag. . Quite reasonable price. $140? Serious? I bought one for my wife and kids and have recommended it to other travelers who travel the same way I do. If you're just getting around town and need to wheel on sidewalks, a wheeled bag might be more convenient. You must carry everything you pack in a bag. But if you drive cross-country or hike, the ice rink will be heavy and uncomfortable. The role packs I looked at just didn't meet my needs. They were heavy and just didn't have the mix of features that this bag has. The rain cover is not included, but you can easily take it with you and when not in use, it can be stowed in the bottom of the backpack where the harness cover folds up. I really like this bag. The duet is great. It was the most common brand I saw when traveling abroad.
