Very pleased with my gear
"Been interrailing with these and glad I splashed out. Sturdy, a joy to use, easy to access. pockets / compartments in all the right places and a cool look as well. When the smaller pack is attached to the larger one it feels a bit unbalanced (I'm a size 12 female) so I generally carried the small pack on the front or in my hand when on the move."

"Very well made and thought out. Simple to access stowed items with many useful pockets. Im excited to putbit to the test and confident it will endure. After years of searching only to be let down by big brand names, I am very pleased with this line of bags. The packing cubes were a great addition as well."

Well designed, well made, well happy
"Excuse the TOWIE language but this backpack is a very good piece of kit. As someone who recognises that you need the best kit when travelling but need to pay the premium before you leave, the Salkan Backpacker simply delivers the goods. Rugged construction and intelligent design mean you can buy this pack and simply get on with what travelling is about - enjoying new places, people and wildlife - knowing that your gear is safe and protected. One last thing; the optional sealed orange pack is a sensible buy - don't find out the hard way!"

Perfect travel bag combo.
"I bought the Longhaul Combo for a 4 month trip which included a variety of climates - Australia, NZ and the Philippines. I was concerned the larger bag wouldn't be big enough but it is honestly cavernous and it seems you can always add more. The quality of the zips, straps and stitching throughout is really great. Internal pockets are good in the big bag. I could manage without the laptop sections but that's just personal preference. Love the secret passport pocket. The two bags together give you a great volume for any trip - I had a snorkel, art materials, a puffa jacket, soo many clothes, gifts for family, a bottle of tequila. . . When the bags were attached I found the unit too heavy and it was easier to just carry the day bag in front. I love the styling and the material is so soft and lovely. I am going to get the cabin bag and complete the set."

Highly recommend
"Bought the large and small backpacks for my son to go travelling for 6 months. Very well made and seems to have lots of pockets for ease of storage. Hope it lasts many years as it’s not the cheapest product on the market, but I’m confident it’s one of the best made so will last! Great delivery and packaging. We were very pleased 😆"

Amazing!
"I bought this backpack specifically for a trip to Thailand, and it turned out to be a really solid choice. It’s comfortable to wear for long days of travel, even when fully packed, and it held up well in hot, humid weather and busy cities. The materials are great, the zippers are smooth, and it handled planes, buses, ferries, and daily exploring without any issues. One feature I really appreciated is that it opens up like a suitcase. Being able to lay it flat and see everything at once made packing and unpacking much easier, especially when moving between hotels. The internal organization is well thought out, with enough pockets to keep things accessible without overcomplicating it. Overall, it’s a practical, well-designed travel backpack that did exactly what I needed it to do on this trip."

Amazing backpacks for traveling

Super impressed
"So far, I am really impressed with the Backpacker 45+20L, packing cubes, and laundry bag. After thorough research to find a suitable backpack, I’m really pleased I chose Salkan. From the ease of ordering, to the super-quick delivery, to the product itself, everything has been fantastic. Even the box the order came in was good quality. The backpack itself has been really well thought out, with dedicated space for a laptop, secure pockets, and a cover to protect it when travelling in the hold of a plane. The material, padding, and overall build quality are excellent and, in my view, well above all the other backpacks I considered. I can’t wait to put it to the test!"

Best Backpack available!
"My son is currently using these backpacking around Thailand and Vietnam. He says that they are absolutely brilliant and far superior to the ones his friends are using!"
