Fantastic travel companion!

"Great bag both in terms of size and design. No issues with quality and seems hard wearing having already notched up several flights and boat trips without complaint. Comfortable even wearing most of the day, and the two bottle pockets on the side each hold a large bottle comfortably without fear of them coming free of their own accord. Overall, highly recommend! 😁⛵️🏝️"

The best keeps getting better

"I have been an huge fan of Salkan — really, I have a lot of their items — but this Shorthaul just hit the sweet spot in a magical way. I cannot recommend Salkan enough: outstanding quality and versatility, YKK zippers that can take a huge beating, super dynamic backpack (I have traveled 8 countries with Salkan backpacks and there’s where you really see them shine)."

Great bag 10/10

"I wanted a traditional looking rucksack with access from the top but also full access from the front. I didn’t want it too big. Something I can hike with and take my camera or use for work. This provided that. Decent depth while not too big. The roll top provides flexibility of size. The laptop case and carefully thought out pockets are great. The quality of the bag is excellent. Worth the money. It feels like I have a new friend for life."

— Ian H. (5/5)

Great, well crafted bag

"This is a wonderful everyday bag, my experience so far has been great. The thoughtful little features really make it. The only improvements I would like to see are that the zip on the roll top is open on each side, I would love for the bag to be more waterproof when at full capacity and when rolled up. The other thing I would love would just be some small pockets on the outside so that I can slip some sunglasses or other small things in there without needing to open the bag. Other than that it is really well made, sturdy and I’m sure will last a lifetime. It also means a lot that they offer free repairs throughout its life should anything go wrong."

— Oliver M. (4/5)

Great bag. Used it on

"Great bag. Used it on my first trip and was comfortable to carry and the front access pocket was very useful. Water / bottle storage on either side worked well with different size bottles and stayed flat without the bottle in."

— Martin H. (5/5)

Perfect day pack

"Bought this to replace my old Osprey backpack that has seen me through countless trips. The build quality is far better than the Osprey and its really comfortable to wear. Ive not seen anyone else wearing one and I really like buying from a small company."

— Alex Y. (5/5)

Finally

"Been waiting for a smaller bag to be released that fits the personal item measurements! Top quality as per usual guys! In love with this bag :)"

— Jessie M. (5/5)

"I bought this as a replacement to my 20L daypack. I prefer the front panel opening, additional space, and the bungee attachment points. I also own the 35L carryon and use these packs exclusively for multiple trips to Japan a year."

— Keith (5/5)

Very Impressed

"I am highly impressed with the weekender backpack. The build quality is top notch, with durable materials and strong stitching that feel built to last. As well of the excellent functionality, it is a truly beautiful, sleek bag that looks great for any adventure. Highly recommend."

My "Goldilocks" Weekend Bag

"I already have the 35L Carry On, but keep that for longer trips, so I was delighted when this was announced and even more so when it was available early as I was going away. I soon discovered that it's my perfect weekend bag! It's is not too tall (I'm 5'3" so that's always a consideration) and while it's plenty big enough to carry everything I need (and more) for a weekend, it isn't too deep, meaning it doesn't stick out too far behind me! In other words, it's just right! I love the dual opening design on these bags, and the attention to detail is SO good. It is a bit heavier than some of my rucksacks, but the style, comfort, and features more than compensate for that. I'm already planning more trips. . . . just so I can use the bag! 😂"
