Der Day Pack Mini ist ein super Rucksack. Er hat ein tolles Volumen und wirkt trotzdem nicht zu kompakt. Ein wirklich schönes durchdachtes Produkt aus textil wirkenden Material in einer schönen Sommerfarbe.
Das einzige was man mal überdenken sollte, sind die Abstände der Träger zueinander. Für meine Schulterbreite passte es jetzt ganz gut, für schmalere Schultern wären sie aber zu weit auseinander und würden dann von der Schulter rutschen. Und das wäre doch für so ein tolles Produkt zu schade, wenn es daran scheitert !
Super!
I’ve had the wayks sand original travel backpack for a while now, and love it. However, I needed something a bit smaller for everyday life. This mini bag compliments my original backpack, but means I can use it everyday for cycling to work and general use. It has all the same satisfying pockets and organisation. Would recommend.
I have trouble washing it though, I can't put it in the washer machine, so manually... tricky to get grease from my bike gear out :S
Thank you so much for your nice review. We're glad that you're happy with your Day Pack Mini. For removing stains on the sand-coloured bags, I highly recommend the 'Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarwash Cleaning Spray.'
Its formula is specifically designed for cleaning outdoor equipment, and preserves the water-repellent fabric coating. It also protects the fabric from the sun's UV rays. So far, I've been able to use it to remove all stains. I usually use warm water and a sponge or soft brush to work the soap in gently, then let it soak for a few minutes before rinsing and repeating if necessary.
The spray can be purchased at many outdoor stores or directly here: https://www.nikwaxwebshop.de/Reinigung/Ausruestung/732-/Das-Neue!-Tent-&-Gear-Solarwash
If your backpack is subjected to dirt frequently and needs cleaning on a regular basis, I recommend applying 'Tent and Gear Solarproof' Spray every now and then. It refreshes the protective fabric coatings and reduces the likelihood of staining the yarns: thttps://www.nikwaxwebshop.de/Impragnierung/Ausruestung/88-/Tent-and-Gear-Solarproof
I hope this helps and that your bag looks fresh and clean again soon. :)
Best wishes,
Leonie
Får plats med mycket mer än jag trodde, har även använt som övernattningsväska! Stabil och tål regn, jag använder den dagligen.
Ein sehr schicker Rucksack und damit bestehe ich definitiv den Vibe Check als Student.
Ein paar kleine Anmerkungen: - die Möglichkeit auf zusätzlichen Brustgurt besteht anscheinend leider nur bei euren größeren Rucksäcken aber ich muss zugeben mir würde auch bei diesem Rucksack ein Brustgurt sehr dienlich sein.
- ich weiß das Laptop-Fach ist etwas erhöht aber es wäre wahrscheinlich sinnvoll es entweder noch weiter nach oben zu machen oder den Teil vom Rucksack zu polstern weil ich dennoch immer sehr vorsichtig sein muss wie ich den Rucksack den Boden stelle wenn ich meinen Laptop drin habe, um ihn nicht versehentlich kaputt zu machen.
- Keins der Netzfächer ist so richtig praktisch wenn man etwas sperrigeres rein tun möchte: mein Geldbeutel zB ist nicht so wahnsinnig flach aber ich brauch ihn an einem Ort an den ich schnell ran komme und wenn ich den gemeinsam mit zwei, drei anderen kleineren Sachen in der oberen vorderen Netztasche habe und dann noch Laptop + einen Block ist das wie eine Blockade bei der Öffnung des Rucksacks und ich kann nicht mehr wirklich etwas unten füllen obwohl dort noch Platz ist (ich kann natürlich immer von unten nach oben füllen aber eigentlich nehme ich die Sachen, die in den Fächern sind, nicht raus sonst weil das soviel Arbeit ist)
Really convenient bag to travel or daily life. Modular bag that can adapt to various situation. The packing cubes are also really convenient which allow to organize the bag and take more stuff.
Meine Frau ist glücklich…!
This bag is great with the big main bag, however on its own I wish it was different. It’s very small, so I think the fancy heavy padded back and strap is totally unnecessary because it will never be heavy. And I think it makes it way overpriced and adds weight. It’s only good for a day pack and no over night trips, so I wish the bag was lighter and more functional for a day out when travelling/on holiday. A less heavy back would allow for more room and functions. The roll top doesn’t work either since this bag could only be used for a short time which means a lot of opening and closing and if you stuff the roll top you can’t do that.
In the airport, if carried with the big bag it kills in security and on the plane you can separate it, put big bag in overhead lockers and use this as your under seat bag which is great. It fits a 13 inch MacBook Pro and if you squeeze hard, an iPad.
