NOMATIC Travel Pack - 20L Water Resistant Laptop Bag - TSA-Ready Expandable Black Backpack

The NOMATIC Travel Pack truly lives up to the hype. The material feels ultra-durable and water-resistant, and the anti-theft features add real peace of mind while commuting or traveling. I especially appreciate how the bag expands from 14L to 21L, making it incredibly versatile whether you’re packing light or need extra space.The TSA-ready laptop compartment is a game-changer—it makes airport security smooth and hassle-free. There are tons of smart compartments to keep everything organized: tech gear, chargers, notebooks, you name it.It’s on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for. If you’re a professional or a frequent traveler who values function, durability, and modern design, this backpack delivers. 👌

This is the backpack I ended up using daily, and it checks almost every box. The front is super clean and professional and when expanded, it unlocks a new compartment that feels like a secret upgrade. The interior pockets are over-the-top clever, especially the two stretchy ones in the main compartment—they’re perfect for glasses and keys, plus you get a retractable key string so you’ll never lose them.It has two stretchy water bottle pockets that use magnets to stay hidden when not in use (which is just cool). Side handles are sturdy, the bag is made in the Philippines (nice touch), and you can lock the zippers for security.Minor complaints: The back padding isn’t totally sweat-proof but works fine most days, straps are thin so weight gets a little tiring, and the zippers aren’t buttery smooth (probably for extra water resistance). Would love a brown color too for variety!

As the title states, I hesitated to purchase this bag because of its price tag. It was just really hard to swallow. I needed a commuter bag that could carry my work gear as well as my workout gear so that I didn’t have to carry multiple bags. One that was also water repellent since it’d be out in the rain often. It hasn’t disappointed and I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on it. It easily carries my 15” laptop, mouse, chargers, portable monitor, training shoes, gym clothes, supplements, and my lunch. Now, I did have to try several different ways to pack it into I found what worked. It’s a tight fit, but it ask fits and I love it. Quality is amazing. It’s comfortable to carry for a long period of time. Great bag.

When I got this bag I honestly thought there was NO WAY 3-days worth of clothes and my computer stuff was going to fit in it, but then I found the magical expanding zippers!! This bag makes me feel like a million bucks when I roll into meetings right off the plane.I ordered this bag a few months ago and wanted to take it on a few work trips before I left a review. This is a spendy bag (for me) and wanted to really test it out and give my feedback for others like me.For years I’ve been traveling with my free OGIO company bag... the ones that have like a billion pockets and look like a giant ball when filled all the way. I’d use it on like 90% of my business trips because I could fit 2-3 days worth of clothes and my laptop and stuff in it and not need to take another carry on. Well, my wife started making fun of me and saying I didn’t look very professional, and honestly, I was embarrassed when I had to go to meetings right from the airport.The only negatives for me are the sunglasses box... which was neat that it came with one, but bag real estate is at a premium for me and the case is just too bulky, so it never gets used. Also, I appreciate all the little pockets and hidden pockets, but I really don’t know what people would use them all for. The magnetic pockets are also cool, but I can really only fit like a basic water bottle in it and not my reusable one. But really that’s it for the negative stuff... basically, this bag is too innovative for a traveler like me.All in all, yes, this is a more expensive bag, but if you are a traveling professional, that wants to make good first impressions without sacrificing usability, than is is a GREAT bag. Quality wise I know I’ll be using it for years to come... unless I get fired...

I gave this 4 out of five only because of price. This bag has a hefty price tag on it, and while I find it to be excellent, the price is still hard to swallow. That being said, it really is an excellent bag. I got this because the backpack I used to use traveling finally kicked the bucket. Typically, I have always used a hiking pack as duel function traveling pack. However, I travel via planes all the time, and I do worry about my laptop getting banged around too much. And to be honest, I travel the skies far more than I hike. This bag is perfect! It easily protected my items while traveling, was big enough to fit anything I could want in a carry-on, and looked relatively normal (and those that have searched will know what I mean when I say that's not easy to find). I don't think this works great as a "briefcase for work" as they claim, but yes, you can carry it like one....I just wouldn't recommend an actual professional traveling on work to use it as such. Just suck it up and get a quality briefcase instead of a pack to travel. I just took my first trip with it, and was really pleased with everything about this bag. The top pocket for easy cell phone and id access was a must for me and hard to find, every zipper for main compartments can be opened ANY way imaginable as there are 4 zipper heads per pocket, and the padding around the laptop was perfect. It also stands up on its own nicely, which was a nice surprise and what I didn't even know I would like. Going through security was a efficient breeze. If you need a pocket, this bag has one to accommodate you. The hard sunglasses case was a nice bonus. As for the compression sack, it's nice, but the level of compression is limited if you are used to other compression sacks. That being said, I used it, and it did save some minimal space, and it doubled perfectly for holding dirty laundry on my trip as it has two separated sides to it, which was convenient. Overall, this is truly an excellent pack...IF... you can deal with the price tag. The upside, is this bag is sturdy, and I think it will last for many,many years.
