“As avid travelers my wife and I loved your promotional videos and were so excited to receive and use the Shell pack... First trip was this past weekend and it is difficult to express how disappointed we both are in the poorly executed features and design compared to a $70 Backpack on Amazon. I don't want to just complain about everything. The materials are decent quality (zippers are average at best), but every detail seems like it was never tested or designed by someone that has actually ever used a backpack. 1) The over-shoulder straps are way too rigid and very uncomfortable. My wife and I are used to going hours on end but within minutes we were feeling the edges of the straps digging into our shoulders and chest. At 30 minutes the pain is unbearable. 2) The had stapes (Top and Side) are way too small and thin (no padding). So you are trying to lift a 20-pound bag with 2 or 3 fingers (because that's all that fits) and they are very thin (like a shoestring) so so it cuts through your fingers like a knife. Even a cheap backpack has a fully padded, full Hand sized carrying strap! 3) The "Expandable Kangaroo Pouch" will only fit light tennis shoes US size 9 (EU 43) or less. Hiking boots or trail runners... forget it! 4) The laptop compartment is basically inaccessible due to a design flaw. There is a large Velcro flap that covers the top of the laptop pouch, which you can't open because it is blocked by the clothing organizer in the pack. You have to completely open the backpack (full clamshell) to open the velcro flap to access the laptop. Not so easy on a plane/bus/car or anywhere because you need a ton of space and anything lose comes falling out. Again, a $70 backpack has an easy access laptop sleeve. 5) The "Wardrobe System" has a small loop for hanging but unless there is a nail or small hook in the wall it won't fit so you can't hang it anywhere. Why not add a hook that stows away under a velcro flap so that you can actually hang it as purposed? Also, synching down the "Wardrobe System" to save space is nearly impossible because it's too flimsy (it just folds back like an accordion and everything comes out) and is poorly designed (you have synch one side at a time, which shifts the contents and it then becomes uneven). Why not have the synching straps connect on the top and bottom so that you can just pull up/down and tighten the entire thing at once and evenly? 6) The extra connecting pouches are a good idea but again poorly executed. They connect well but stick out too far on the edges (big gap between pouch and backpack) so they get caught and snagged on EVERYTHING. Why not add a small fold-over (similar to the way too small "kangaroo pouch") to make it seamless instead of a snag magnet? 7) Not many external pockets compared to way cheaper backpacks. So, you can't wear it for more than 30 minutes without your arms going to sleep. You can't pick it up with the 'way too small' hand strap as it will cut off circulation to the 2/3 fingers you can fit. You can't easily access your laptop (this drove me crazy in the airport!!). You can't hang the "Hanging Wardrobe Organizer" or synch it down with ease. The shoe pouch doesn't fit shoes. The pay extra pooches just cause a snagging problem. AND it cost me 5 times what my previous and again current (because this is unusable in comparison) backpack cost.”

“I am an original customer of the first release of the Canyon series and I cannot say enough good things about my original pair. Since then I pledged for two other releases and the sizes have been all over the place. Given this I tried to assume which way the Jungles would go and yet again a big miss….what should have been a 11 US was closer to a 12 and a 10 was closer to a 9 1/2. I really needed the Jungles to be a big win but sadly the sizes just do not align with a US or EU standard. 44’s and 45’s are just nowhere near their expected US counterparts”

“Disappointed. I bought a pair of the TropicFeel Canyon shoes last year and found them to be great. Stylish, comfortable, well-made shoes and I was very excited to be an early backer of the Jungle. I ordered them in January 2021 and they finally arrived in July 2021. My left shoe arrived unraveling seams in two spots, there is a separation hole between the back webbing and the boarder material and the back pull-on loop is un-usable because it came separated immediately due to the seams issue. I immediately contacted TropicFeel in hopes they would repair, replace, or refund but they only responded by giving me $12 off a new pair. Very disappointing. Was excited to have another great pair with them and continue my relationship with the company but now looking into other travel shoe companies, luckily this is a growing market and lots of great options out there. Jungle really is a great looking shoe, but quality is key in a travel shoe that is going to take some wear and tear and can't trust them if they are going to be busted out of the box.”

“You could find a cheaper water shoe with similar features on Amazon which cost 70% less. This product has import taxes that costs a lot of money. Won’t recommend”
