I bought a Nomatic Travel Pack after years of using standard backpacks that required unpacking everything to find anything. The organisation is genuinely impressive – there is a dedicated spot for everything, from the TSA-friendly laptop compartment to the hidden passport pocket. After eighteen months of regular use, including weekly commutes and several international trips, the bag shows minimal wear despite daily abuse. The downside is the price: this is £200+ for a backpack, which is difficult to justify until you use it regularly. For frequent travellers who carry tech and need to access their gear quickly, it makes sense. For occasional use, it is overkill.
Nomatic makes travel bags designed for organization and versatility. Their bags transition between backpack and duffel modes and include features like TSA-ready laptop compartments, RFID-safe pockets, and dedicated shoe compartments.
