“It is really good to have a backpack with multiple usage. I not only use it for travelling but also for daily commute. It is a creative design for the wardrobe system, although it is not light, it indeed accommodates enough clothes for like 3 days travel in winter season and perfectly organized. Really like the detachable toiletry bag. Sometimes I also use it for tech purpose. Can't wait to use it in the following trips.”

“Loving this backpack. It has the function and versatility I need and it looks great too! There's not been anything quite like this on the market before (and I say this as an owner of many travel bags, backpacks, and carry-ons). This one can go with me on a daily commute, a one-night business trip or a week+ adventure. Lumbar support and extra capacity that I'd need for an epic backpacking trip are there for when the need arises, but they stow away neatly for everyday use. No compromises! Thanks Tropicfeel team!”

“Loved my Shell, it’s exactly what was shown in the video. I rated this 4 stars just because I haven’t had actual experience to use it (because of COVID) . I had worried if it’s too big for a woman to carry (it happens a lot), but it’s a perfect size (I’m 166cm). I cannot wait to travel with this backpack!”

“I bought 2 bags with wardrobes and toiletries bags. They were surprise gifts for my fiance on our anniversary. He loves his! It can expand to be a weekend camping bag, or be compact enough to be his motorcycle bag. The only issue I had was with the communication while waiting for my bag. It seemed like promise after promise. But I see tropicfeel is making steps to improve this and I love it!! I will definitely be a return customer. After getting the bags, I am one happy camper (literally) I LOVE my bag!!”

“Great backpack! Really got lots of great features, but when all packed up, it gets quite heavy. I was also expecting to get a dirty clothes bag at the bottom of the wardrobe system which would've been amazing. I also wish the wardrobe was slightly bigger so you don't have to squish your clothes in so much, and you can just squish it down when closing it into the backpack. It's also quite hard to zip up the bag with the compressed wardrobe system, as the wardrobe compresses outwards making it chubbier and harder to close the zippers. I wish there was a loop or something at the bottom of the zippers on the backpack so I could grab onto that to close up the backpack when it's full. And yes I've read some other reviews which have said that some side straps on the backpack would be great to reduce the profile of the bag in day pack mode which I agree with. The bag doesn't really work as a day bag I don't think. I don't like the top access as it's too far to reach down. Also, the water bottle pockets are too thin to use at all when the bag is fully packed. Some good things though - it's great to carry, feels very comfortable (but some padding on the waist belt straps would be good, because I won't use them much as they currently stand), wardrobe a good idea - I live across two houses so I wanted this backpack so I didn't have to unpack my whole life every time I got to a new place, and I wanted it to be organised. It is hard to organise the top zippered pockets, everything ends up just flying around (also I feel like I don't have enough undies/bras to fit in here, but would prefer more space down the bottom). Also, there's a lot of straps on the top of the wardrobe which get in the way, I wish they could be tucked away somewhere when not in use. With the pouch on the front, it's a good idea, but it just sticks out so much it looks very awkward. I wish it was just more flush on the backpack. I have the toiletries bag which I use for toiletries and chargers, as my laptop charger is massive, so I just put it in the back pocket. But it does make me worried for when I go travelling having chargers in a pouch that can so easily be detached, as I could just lose that bag or someone could take it off - it's unlikely but because it's so exposed it feels weird. Also, I never seem to detach this bag, so it would be fine for me if it was just a part of the backpack on the front.”
