Only one trip so far and I'm sold

"The long, international trip I got this for was postponed so I've only used it for a multi-day conference trip and it was fantastic. I'm a big guy (6'1", 290lbs) and it fits me comfortably, even the waist strap fits. I really appreciate the top and side loading and extra space at the top with the folder over cover, as well as the metal hooks on the straps that feel solid and not janky like plastic sometimes feels."

Perfection

"I was very lucky to get this as a birthday present. I think it gives new meaning to the words ‘a bag for life’. Smart, stylish, inventive, durable. For natural born organisers like me it’s the perfect bag."

12 Months

"I’ve been using mine (and lending it out) for a year, and it’s been fantastic. Not only it the most practical rucksack I’ve ever used - Salkan are definitely the coolest looking bags on the market. Totally recommend"

Great backpack

"I bought this in preparation for travelling to Berlin by train. It is very well designed, comfortable to wear and fits in everything I need. Cannot fault it."

Salkan Carry-on 35L

"Only used once so far but the pack is awesome. Versatile rugged comfortable to carry. Everything I was looking for. Im even going to use it to walk the Camino …"

muy buena pero con un error de diseño

"Compré esta mochila desde Argentina junto con la day pack, Me parecieron excelentes, pero durante el uso nacieron algunos pequeños problemas inesperados. 1. Cuando la mochila no se utiliza cargada en su totalidad la tapa suele soltarse de la presilla que la sujeta al cuerpo de la mochila. Esto sucede porque la posición de la presilla en el cuerpo de la mochila está muy arriba no no se puede darle recorrido al ajuste de la tapa; por lo tanto, cuando terminas de ajustar se nota fácilmente que la tapa queda floja, tan floja que me ha pasado de verla desconectada solo del movimiento. En relación a la daypack, podrían ampliar el bolsillo de la tapa, casi no entra un par de anteojos con su funda. Muy pequeño. Gracias"

Finally!

"Finally found the carry-on backpack I needed. Large enough to take all my travel gear/clothing. Top loading so I can expand the capacity at my destination to add things and stuff the cover with small gear items. Side pockets for water bottles or flip flops. Font lacing so it can carry extra gear on the go. Hipbelt with pockets for keys, snacks and other knickknacks. And does not look out of place on a trail! Thanks Salkan!"

Benoit G. (5/5)

Excellent Quality

"Worth the price for a bag that can last a lifetime."

Chitose R. (5/5)

Fantastic!

"I’ve used the carry on a few times now, it’s a quality product well thought out and a pleasure to travel with, looking forward to many more trips using it."

Shane R. (5/5)

The Carry-On

"I’d been shopping around for a carry-on that would cover a week away, for some time. After lots of research I settled on the Salkan 35L. Well after one week in Andalusia, I can say, I’m delighted with my choice. Yes, it is a little bit heavier than other bags but this is far outweighed by all the positives. It’s extremely comfortable, access points are easy to use, I love the small zip pocket for passport/wallet and the overall look is amazing. Nothing like all the generic looking backpacks out there. Would definitely recommend the packing cubes as well."
