Fits so much stuff - I love it! It holds my 17” MacBook, iPad, work binder, wallet, reusable bags, water bottle, and a book, yet still looks sleek and not bulky. The pockets are well-designed, easy to access, and the straps are comfortable. Even in the rain, everything stayed dry. Highly recommend!

Stylish backpack with roomy interior. I put the Ikigai backpack to the test and packed for a 2-day/1-night overseas trip. I was able to fit in my essentials which included travel skincare and toiletries as well. The backpack itself looks stylish and makes an ideal travel companion for those who wish to travel in style!

Best Back Pack Ever! It's the perfect fit for under the airplane seat. All of the different pockets are so handy. The outside is sleek and very comfortable to carry. This will now be my new backpack for work. I could not be more pleased!

Functional, polished, and surprisingly light! I love backpacks and am always looking for a great travel pack for 2-4 day work trips. I was hopeful about the Ikigai—it seemed large enough for short trips but not so big that I’d look like a turtle with a massive shell. After two weeks of use, it’s lived up to all the hype!

Classic, Not slouchy

I bought my backpack for a bucket-list trip. It is such an elegant and durable product. The number of pockets were perfectly situated and it didn't have the typical messy/slouchy look. It deterred me from overpacking and I absolutely love it!

The backpack

The backpack looks really nice and is made to last. I own everything Nomad lane!! I’m happy with my purchase.

Another Nomad Lane Winner!

I have been eyeing this for a while and finally pulled the trigger on the dusk version. I already own a Bento Bag and was looking for something a little smaller. This has the same amazing nylon fabric, quality zippers, and organizational features along with no-dangle straps - love that! It's a nice addition to my ever increasing travel collection.

Light weight and functional

Light weight, spacious and functional for work and travel. Has lots of pockets to stay organize.. Shoulder straps are comfortable. Enjoyed using the backpack for the past month.

High quality EDC or Travel Carry

Premium materials and smart design choices make this great for everyday or travel. Very spacious despite its more compact size, and its more rigid shape keeps it from ever being too slouched or lumpy. My one personal con would be that the straps at the shortest length are still a bit too long for my 5'8 frame. I'l prob sew a solution for that but its worth noting.

Perfect personal item bag. Fir air travel

This is well made. I feel like there are so many organization and security features. Fabric is nice and looks easy to clean. It is comfortable to wear. It fits well atop a carryon hard she suitcase.

Light and comfortable

I ordered this backpack because mine always ended up too heavy to carry on hikes. Unfortunately the Ikigai came the day I left for an Alaskan cruise! But I was so happy to open the package when I returned home. It was what I had needed, light comfortable and the Dusk color was beautiful. I really like how I can have my things organized now and not have to search for them. I will be definitely enjoying this backpack once the weather cools

Basic Dependable Backpack

Great basic, dependable, backpack. I appreciate that it has the handle strap on the back in case you wanted to loop it around your suitcase (although depending on how high your handle is, it might be a little awkward with the vertical weight distribution along the handle). I'd say this bag is a good choice if you want to have the bag double duty as a usable daily bag. It's a minimal design so if you use it out and about outside of an airport it won't raise any eyebrows.
