Travel Bundle Original / Compact

The majority of our materials are made from recycled PET bottles. We use a PFC-free, environmentally friendly water-repellency coating on our fabrics. 

The difference between our fabrics is mainly in the look and feel. Our first fabric (Black and Sand variants) has a rather natural, canvas-like look. It feels thinner.

In the Sleek Black variant, the fabric has a smooth look. It feels a little thicker and rubbery.

The Sleek Black is a little easier to clean due to its smooth texture and water rolls off more easily - on the other hand, it is more prone to superficial scratches and dents or cuts, which remain visible in the long term on such smooth fabrics.

As far as protecting the contents of the backpack from moisture is concerned, there is no difference between the two versions, as both fabrics are waterproof. It is always important to remember that after prolonged exposure to heavy rain, moisture can seep through the seams and zips of backpacks. Therefore, we recommend using the Rain & Luggage Cover in such cases.

Main Fabric

  • 100% Polyester (91% recycled, 100% for the Sleek Black version)
  • 600 x 600 Denier
  • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
Lining
  • Day Pack: 100% Polyester (100% recycled), 150 x 150 Denier
  • Cube: 100% Nylon
  • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
Zippers
  • Outside: Durable YKK Natulon® luggage coil zippers (partly recycled)
  • Outside: weatherproof PU coating on back pockets to protect valuables
  • Inside: YKK Natulon® coil zippers (partly recycled)
  • Cube attachment: Sturdy YKK VISLON® zipper
  • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
Buckles
  • Recycled plastic (black version), sourced from bluesign® System Partner
  • Durable aluminium hook for roll top closure

    Does the sand colour get dirty easily?
    No, it does not stain easily, however, dark stains are more visible than on the black version. Good to clean. Fine for everyday use. Attach rain cover when exposed to heavy rain, dirt, oil or dust. (read more)

    Overpriced

    The product quality is far from the price I bought two and both have issues with the zippers and the sewing.
    The idea is god though

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks a lot for your purchase. I am so sorry to hear that two of your bags have issues. Manufacturing errors are very rare but if they happen, we of course take care of them.
    Could you email us photos of the issues to hello@wayks.com so we can assist you further?
    Many thanks,
    Fabian

    Highly recommended

    We really enjoyed our SA and Thailand trip with our Wayks bags.
    We found the different storage areas very convenient , it was a pleasure to repack every 3 days.
    The compression bags are really a must, in combination with these from travel monkey, you can organize the bags perfectly.
    Next to handy they are also super beautiful ....

    A Satisfying Travel Companion

    The WAYKS backpack has become an indispensable companion for my wife and me during our travels. Its well-designed pockets offer excellent organization, striking the perfect balance between spaciousness and practicality. The backpack's optimal size makes it versatile for different trips, and its swift delivery only added to our satisfaction with the purchase.
    Gifting this backpack to my wife for New Year's was a joy, and her positive experience with its style and functionality reinforces our recommendation for fellow travelers. The WAYKS backpack is a reliable and efficient choice for those seeking comfort in a compact design.
    Thank you, Leonie & Fabian! :-)

    Verarbeitetung ist top. Auch mag ich die helle Farbe. Die Stabilität + Tragegefühl der Rucksäcke ist auch sehr gut, wenn sie schwer gefüllt sind.

    By far the sweetest bag I've ever owned

    What can I say? It's comfortable, stylish, functional. I've also gotten many compliments on it.

    Overall a great bag :)

    Good intentions but not suited for long term travel

    Pros: good materials
    Intelligent Hidden pockets,
    Good packing cubes

    Cons:
    Here is the problem: it's really not comfortable to wear the backpack fully loaded for a longer time.
    The detachable bag at the bottom is a nice idea but it makes the backpack really uncomfortable to wear because the backpack is not in one piece and therefore lacks stability. It gave me a lot of backpain when I had to carry it for several hours for the first time. Now I am seriously considering buying a trolly for my backpack.
    The backpack is very minimal and you can't really extend it much. If it is full it is quite hard to close the zipper
    The hip strap is attached to the detachable part. So if I want to only use the upper part I don't have a hip strap.
    The hip strap doesn't have any cushioning in the front which makes the backpack even less comfortable to wear. Overall I would say its a nice idea and if you have a lot of camera gear and want to use the cube for that its an OK choice.
    But if you are looking for a long-term travel backpack that's adapting to your needs and is also comfortable to carry around do look further.

    Hello Jascha,

    Thanks a lot for your purchase and your feedback. We are glad that you like the materials, pockets, and packing cubes, but sorry to hear that the backpack is not comfortable enough for you. 
    Hopefully, the following information can help to improve your experience and make it as comfortable for you as for most of our customers.

    I first wanted to double check if you noticed all adjustment options described on pages 8-15 of our manual (https://wayks.com/pages/manual) to ensure the best possible fit to your body.
    The rigidity of the Cube should usually help to transfer weight from the shoulders/back to the hips quite effectively. It is critical to pull the hip belt quite tight for this. 

    If you want to use the belt on the Day Pack, so when the Cube is not attached, you can detach the waist belt (the straps) from the hip belt padding and attach them to the loops on the Day Pack. It is also possible to keep the hip belt padding attached and hook it into the loops on the Day Pack, however, this may only work well for you if your torso is quite short. It is not designed for that but we know that some customers are using the padded hip belt on the Day Pack and it is working well for them, so it may be worth a try.

    If besides the roll top, further capacity/extendability is required for your needs, you could attach your Day Pack Mini to the Travel Backpack with our Mat Strap to gain another 12L.

    I hope the above is helpful to enjoy your Travel Backpack more and have lots of fantastic trips with it.
    If any follow up questions come up please do not hesitate to get in touch.

    Best wishes,
    Fabian

    Great backpacks

    Came along Wayks in 2020 via kickstarter. Back then I ordered the „sling bag Combo“, which accompanied me almost every day since then. That is why I finally (after thinking it over, measuring my laptop and looking at my frustratingly too big collection of backpacks) decided to purchase the „Travel Bundle Original“ at a special offer. It is pricey, but the sling back combo persuaded me in quality, modularity and flexibility. Beside that it also looks great.

    First the travel backpack felt a bit stiff for my daily use and heavier than expected. But then I removed the padded backpart and attached the smaller straps. Now it’s perfect for going to the office with my laptop, food and more in it or for example for doing the weekend grocery shopping. I love how sleek it looks and that I can open it completely like a suitcase.
    It also took me a while to discover and use the special pockets etc. though I watched the videos before.

    The only thing, I am not used to yet: the backpack does not stand stable on its own. And when it is leaned to a wall or table leg it often falls to the front or slides away.
    But this is only a small thing.

    I recommend this backpack to people who regularly use backpacks and don’t want several for different things, but one for all (city, work, freetime, outdoors, traveling). I think it is worth its money. Also: you support a small business which focuses on sustainability and fair production.
    I am still happy every time I put it on my shoulders.

    What Our Customers Say

    Ich habe mich sehr gut über euer Produkt informiert und bin trotzdem von vielen Details überrascht. Ich kann nicht glauben, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesem Rucksack steckt! Ich möchte meinen größten Respekt für so ein durchdachtes Produkt zeigen. Ich studiere Kommunikationsdesign und weiß wie viel Arbeit in den manchmal unscheinbarsten Dingen steckt, die sich jemand überlegt und die dann einfach intuitiv für möglichst viele Leute funktionieren sollen. Deshalb bin ich umso beeindruckter von dem, was ihr mit dem Wayks One geschaffen habt.

    (translated) I wanted to tell you how amazing I find the design, functionality and ability of the backpack on the one hand, and of course how cool it is to get an insight into your production, the products you use for manufacturing and your employees . I've rarely been so excited about a brand!

    I wanted to leave you this positive feedback because I can only imagine how much effort, work and passion there is behind your project.
