Travel Backpack 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
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)
How should I clean the WayksOne? We recommend hand wash only. If necessary use gentle soap and brush. Dry well. (read more)

I love the thinking of the multi detailing the zippers and possibility to put everything together. But the inside of the globetrotter isn’t so big after all. But the design is perfect and trendy!

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.

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.

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.
Hanna from Würzburg, Germany, about her WayksOne
(translated) My Wayks arrived today already and I'm totally in love!
Regardless of the fact that you brought a wonderful, sustainable and so incredibly well thought-out product into the world, I would also like to thank you very much for the great customer service!
You're doing a fantastic job and I wish you all the best for the future :)
Keep it up!!
A very happy customer :)
Ella from Munich, Germany, about her WayksOne
Ach, echt schön, ihr habt so ein tolles nachhaltiges Produkt entwickelt und seid auch noch so nett ... Da fühlt man sich rundum glücklich mit seinem Kauf. :) Hatte mir so viele Rucksäcke vorher angeschaut und bin froh, mich für euren entschieden zu haben.
Julia from Hamburg, Germany, about her WayksOne
(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.
Hannah from Vienna, Austria, about her WayksOne
Tausend Dank! Von eurem Kundenservice kann sich so manch einer eine Scheibe abschneiden!
Jakob from Vienna, Austria, about his WayksOne
I would like to say thank you so much! You have been absolutely fantastic with customer service!! I would like to say that I just took the backpack on another trip over in Michigan and it was fantastic to use yet again.

ᴬᴰ Modular systems are my thing. I first discovered @wayksberlin through their crowdfunding campaign and was excited when they later approached me to work together. The company was founded by siblings Leonie and Fabian, who live on different continents: Europe and Australia. Together they worked for years to create a modular backpack and the result is, mildly put, mind blowing. The backpack can be adapted from 7 to 37 liters, can be a day or full on travel backpack and a camera bag (which also is made to be a cooler bag in case you want to bring cooled drinks!). Materials are mainly recycled and the production in Asia is done by a manufacturer that’s bluesign and fair wear certified. My favorite is this light cookout and don’t be fooled: it’s so easy to clean (had it with me in Ukraine!).🧡🧡🧡 #wayks #backpack

Heute gings mit dem Auto (zur Personenvermeidung) an einen schönen Ort, abseits der Menschen, in die Berge. Mal wieder Sonne tanken und die frische Bergluft schnuppern tat so gut. Mit dabei war mein Travel Backpack von @wayksberlin der auch ganz praktisch zum Wandern ist, da der Rucksack modular ist. Auch geeignet falls man einen müden Hund runtertransportieren müsste 😜
