I kinda hated watched this video because I dislike Nomadic so much. $400 USD for this bag - it's made in southeast Asia from questionable materials - they never mention the materials they use (sorry Ed, nowhere does Nomadic say they use YKK zippers, because they don't). They charge U.S.A. made prices and keep the profits for themselves. If you're going to spend $400 USD, buy Americans made Tom Bihn or Mission Workshop. If you want to get quality bags for less, get Aer or Able Carry.
I agree with you, I find the vagueness of the materials strange. I don't think I said they used YKK in the video, I think they might be using Zoom zippers but it's hard to tell. I'd say there's good functionality with the bag which can be a big plus for some people, but yep - there's definitely a lot more cost-effective and excellent travel bags out there. - Ed
@@RushfasterTV they use some YKK in the interior and undetermined (Zoom?) in the exterior. The funny thing is that Peak Desgin uses Zoom in the external ones because they are smoother around the edges, but no one complains about it. I guess being a more open and customer-friendly company makes people trust you much more. Plus Nomatic had an many people with issues in the zippers in V1. Might be a bit exaggerated as they sold so many, but that set the mark for the future looks of the company, as they never addressed as an issue and just pretended everything was fine.
@@RushfasterTV this is a huge improvement over their original strap system, and all of the organization seems very well thought out. This will definitely be on my radar, even if just for suggestions and not for myself.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. While the Nomatic Navigator Travel Backpack 32L is designed to be versatile and compressible, a 32 liter bag is typically not suitable for fitting under airplane seats when fully packed and is usually more appropriately stowed in the overhead compartment. We recommend reviewing the carry-on baggage policies of your specific airline, as some airlines may have stricter guidelines or variations in allowable sizes for cabin luggage. Cheers!
