FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage.

![Pakt One Review [Insane 35L Duffel - Honest Guide]](/img/tr.png)
I really like this bag because of his design; genius quick access pockets and his separate compartments! 🤩
What I never get:
- always the same issues with these bags:
ZIPPERS AND WATERRESSISTANT (or proof!) materials!
Why are those designers not able to take care of it?
Thanks Bo again!
I believe the black version takes care of most of those issues. To be fair, the material is coated, just the zippers aren't ideal. I think this grey version is targeted towards business people who travel with a suit and take a cab anyways. and the black version is the more rugged but maybe not visually suiting for business attire.
do a backpack for a long term vacation like a month and how you organize it
I wish I had a long term vacation soon. But if I had one I would try to travel with just a bag
Wait a minute - Hairdryer!? C'mon if there's an "enemy of packing"....
Is there anything like that but in backpack form and without "minimalism extra" on price?
Pakt will be releasing a backpack shortly. Pricing TBA. Typically you will get what you pay for, a well designed and built bag just isn’t cheap. Good luck on your search!
Great review Bo. Just received word today that this bag is being shipped. Excited to get it. Ordered the black one. Even without the added protection I’d still order the black. Just more appealing to me. I plan to use this bag for all my trips but will bring a laptop/daily carry bag with me as well. Help with weight and I’ll be packing more clothes. Cheers!
Thanks, mate. I think you made a good choice. But be aware of how much you pack. If you plan on walking a bunch with the bag, treat it like a smaller bag. You're shoulders will thank you ;-)
Thanks for another great review Bo. This is probably not for me as I prefer a backpack style. Recently a leisure trip for 4 days in a 26 litre Northface. While everyone was fighting for overhead space I put my bag under the seat. I did a beach / mountain day hike trip with binoculars and 2 cameras total under 7kg travel weight. For hiking I emptied out a lot of my bag. However for business I generally take 2 bags if going business class. Some tips for one bag travel. Try only ever taking 1 shoes plus flipflops. Wear the shoes. For the tech you have a tough choice. I would leave the keyboard at home for a short trip. And probably even the mouse. Usually a multibox and conversion plugs are needed for overseas travel. Camera gear I strip back as well. My work doesn't require a camera so I use my phone or take smaller option. Try to minimise your just in case stuff but ymmv. Good luck with one bag travel!
I appreciated your balanced honest review. I like the design of the Pakt bag, especially the top zippers that allow easy access to the compartments but I wondered how it would feel trekking with it, especially trying to hurry to my gate at a large international airport. Thanks to your review, I don’t think it’s for me since I’d probably find it heavy & exhausting. I’ll stick with backpacks. Just haven’t found the perfect one yet.
Thanks, Kaeleen. Yes, lugging it around the airport (especially if you need to run from gate to gate) can become very exhausting. Which is why I recommend to treat it as a 20 or 25L bag rather than the whole 35L that it offers.
What kind of backpack are you looking for?
Try the north face borealis, it's quite big and has many organisation pockets, it has enough space for a 2 night trip, depending on what you take.
Bought this bag. Not really usable for video creator. With all my clothes and gear it's too heavy and not pleasant to carry around. It's basically a nightmare to walk with this.
If you knew you'd be packing heavy why would you buy a simple shoulder strap duffle?
Hey Bo, I'm looking for a bag recommendation. I'm looking for a small/medium bag for when I'm wondering around the city. I love my LBB Peloton! But it can be a little bulky and heavy when going to a crowded bar or on long treks around the city. I'm looking for something that can hold a large water bottle, large battery, A5 notebook, and maybe a couple of beers or whatever. Bonus points if it's a messenger bag that lays flat against my body. Essentially a man purse!
Thank you for another awesome video!
Thanks, mate. I'm not too much into messenger bags. But since you already are happy with the LBB Peloton, have you seen their new line up with that reflective material? Their messenger looks pretty cool as well.
My main concern is that it does not meet european low cost carry-on size
I see so many people with rollcases as carry on, I think this should be fine ;-)
It does. I did some travels With mine Pakt one and had No problems on planes and the size is with in the limits both in Sweden/Great Britain and also overseas in USA. Cheers
Well actually the size is 50,8x27,9x25,4 whereas ryanair/vueling size is 55x40x20cm, so it doesn't and they are really strick
Yeah, in paper it doesn't meet the size limits, but since the bag is soft it can "adjust" in size, so it must be no problem in most cases
You might want to look into the Wandrd Hexad Access Duffel. :) It seems to have better camera protection options, and it is a convertible backpack. Downside is that it's bigger.
Thanks, Julia. Wandr has been on my wishlist for a while.
If I am traveling I cannot live the one bag life. I use a duffel bag just for clothes and other stuff and carry a backpack within it for the day and duffel stays in the room.
Great review though the bag looks really good.
Thanks, mate. I'M mostly the same, but I usally don't have the backpack inside the duffel but rather as my carry on bag. So all the important stuff as carry on and clothing etc as a check in.
For traveling now I just bring my northface duffel bag full of my clothes and herschel dopp Kitt. and bring a light packable day pack that fold and is basically weightless (REI Flash 22) since I don't really need any tech other than my phone, portable charger and Bluetooth headphones.
User 01 for me the north face duffel bag is the best...i use S size & black i love it.
So what you are saying is that you aren't a business professional, correct?
You're right, that gray is really good looking. I'm pretty set as far as my travel setup, but I would definitely consider this if I were looking. I'm a duffel + backpack or larger backpack + small messenger type of guy. So this would fit. Bo - assuming you got in on the Heimplanet KS that went live today?
I have seen the Heimplanet Kickstarter. Looks awesome. I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon.
Wow ich hatte neulich erst gedacht wie geil es wäre die Minimalismus Skills von Matt d'Avella und die Packing Skills von dir zu haben und jetzt reviewst du sogar den Bag von den Minimalists 😂. Sehr cooles Video!
Danke sehr, Felix!
Hello Bo, I´ve been looking extensively over your EDC small bags, which I find significantly appealing and practical. I live in Costa Rica Central America and have easy access to the US market, however, I've had problems finding any of your recommended brands in this side of the world. Do yo have any links I can use? Tx for your work it is quite useful!
Hey Juan.
Most of the pouches should be available in the US. Or at least should be easier to get compared to Europe. Did you watch my puches and cubes video?
Bon are you wearing the Levi Trucker Jacket 2 Commuter? I love mine for traveling.
Hey Brent. It's the Levis commuter Jacket. Well seen ;-) It's one of my favorite jackets!
The moment I saw that you got the grey one I already knew what you were going to complain about! The black one is a lot better and that bag really doesn't work as an EDC in my opinion. It was great to see you try a duffle for a change though. Great review as always!
Thanks, mate. It's a great bag, but I have to say, that my shoulder is already sore after this one week using it. I prefer backpacks.
Bo Ismono yes I agree. I loaded it up fully one day as a test and the grunt I made picking it up got me worried 😅
😂
Great review Bo, your are our trusted resource for honest and in-depth bag reviews, we have looking forward to your review on this product. All the best for 2019 and thank you for the great videos.
Wow! Thank you very much, Emet! That means a lot!
You took out your pouches and cubes at the hotel. How did the bag perform as a normal day bag when going to office? How do you think it would perform for people who are travelling for business but only really need to bring a laptop , charger, cables etc and don't usually carry keyboards or camera gear?
Hey Dave,
Yes I took out the cubes in the office. And although it does get lighter, I am not used to this one sided weight distribution. Having weight just on one side of your shoulders does get exhausting even if it is just a 10 minutes walk. That is also the reason why I mainly review backpacks. That being said: If you prefer messenger bags or shoulder bags, than this one can function very well as an edc bag. Obviously with 35L it is very big, but if you go for a business trip and leave most of your stuff in the hotel, then this will fit well on your daytrips to meetings and such.
Do the new Topo Designs Mountain Pack. They updated and it looks definitely worth checking out. Hope you make a video, thanks!
Hey Lukas,
yes, a Topo Design has been on my wishlist for quite awhile. Would love to check one out in the future
Great video again. Quick thought: You don't cover costs of the bags themselves. At one point I really like that you don't since it reserves judgement of its worth to the person whos seen the bag post the review.
Secondly, I guess that bags don't really compete with each other model vs model like phones do. However there probably is another league of luxury bags that are great too.
Just wondering if that is why you don't mention the price.
Thanks, Varuna!
I decided not to include prices in all my video reviews. Most of my viewers are either in USA or Asia, while I live in Germany, therefore everyone has different shipping costs and custom fees which will affect the price a lot. Which is why I believe that it is more reasonable or easier just to google the specific product in your country and try to find the best deal. I hope that makes sense.
My Goruck bag is a great example: By itself it is already pretty expensive, but for what it is it is still reasonable. But as soon as I added shipping and custom fees it was almost €400.- and this is a completely other story. So shipping and custom fees can change the price dramatacally .
Hi Bo
Will you also review the new HEIMPLANET Transit travel pack?
Yes, I will ;-)
Niice
just get a playboy or penthouse magazine and tear out all the pictures and leave the articles, that'll learn 'em. ;-) great hybrid bag, needs to make all colors top grade protection. thanks for sharing.
There are articles in playboy? :-P
would you mind doing a review of the mission workshop radian? at that price you would expect lots of reviews, but i can't seem to find one that is as detailed as you would be.
I just received the Radian. Pretty impressive, but very big and a little heavy. But the features and the quality is awesome.
Bo Ismono great to hear! Will you be posting a video on it soon?
Yes and No, It will be a Quicklook, but with a surprise ;-) WIll be online end of this month
only me feel the kind of style not suit with backpack? I would just choose camping style with backpack!
Wie immer ein cooles Review!!! ;) Ich hoffe du testest auch die neuen Heimplanet Produkte, die heute auf Kickstarter gestartet sind. :D
Danke sehr, Björn. Ja, die werde ich auch testen ;-)
Check out Red Oxx sky train bag. Interesting bag.
It's on my wishlist ;-)
It is not the bag, it is how you pack. You need a extra jean for a one night trip, seriously? Did you forget your makeups?
I have been trying to buy one of those (Pakt One) for about a year, but was not able to find a used one...
A new one is just too expensive to just try it out..
As a frequent traveller, it seems the Pakt One could be a nice alternative to the Cabin Maxx i am using at the moment....
But then again: The Cabin Maxx is just so much cheaper, that i probably will never try out the Pakt One...
Hey Sascha,
As far as I know the Paktone hasn't been shipped out to the backers yet. So indeed it will be difficult to find one yet. Where are you located?
Germany (Northrhine-Westphalia)...
Ok, that explains why i have not been able finding one online..
:D
Thanks..
Schreib mir doch mal eine Email falls du an dem interessiert bist
I actually prefer the blue the most. You don’t even mention it
Lesson learned. Only travel between May 15th and September 15th.
Those negatives were exactly why I chose not to purchase this bag -- as much as I wanted to like it. The biggest drawback for me was that it's a duffel and not a backpack which takes a toll on my back and shoulders when walking with all that weight. Not a bag for everyone nor for every situation. Bought a clamshell backpack instead with stowable shoulder and hip straps that can also be carried as a messenger for short distance commuting... very happy. It's a shame because I really like the positives which you talked about. It's aesthetic is business-like so perhaps it was intended specifically for urban and very short term travel. Great video as always Bo! :)
Thank you very much, Claire. Valid points!
While I appreciate attention to details in reviews, I feel like comments on waterproofing are misplaced. How likely is it that you’re going to be in the rain with your bag for such an extended period of time? If it’s raining, I’m trying to get inside ASAP.
Funny thing, a couple of hours before I published this video I was arriving in Berlin and was walking five minutes in rain. I made an instagram story about how my stuff inside got wet during that short walk. So I don't want to imagine what happens if you walk around it in rain for a longer period of time
And that one time you don't have a choice but to be in the rain?
Sure, it might be fine for you, but you aren't everyone.
Bo Ismono Oh, wow. Fair enough, then. I figured that it should at least keep things relatively dry if you happen to get caught, but if not then that’s kind of disappointing. I got the black version of the bag and while I haven’t traveled with it yet, I’ll keep my fingers crossed it fares better with moisture. 🤞🏻 Thanks for the response and the reviews!
Tams80 Wasn’t implying I’m everyone...? I just made a comment that I think things don’t need to be crazy waterproofed. Wasn’t attacking Bo or anyone who likes waterproof stuff. Calm down.
Did you ever figure out where the leaks were and how your stuff got wet?
Which dopp kit do you use now?
Currently I use the one that has been in the Slicks Backpack. Not sure if you can buy it seperately though
Hey Bo, wie hast du die Pakt bekommen? Mich schrecken die Transportkosten und ggf. noch anfallenden Zollgebühren sehr ab - ansonsten wäre ich super interessiert - kannst du hier deine Erfahrungen dazu teilen?
Moin.
Zoll und Versand sind leider echt immer teuer. Schreib mir mal bitte eine Email falls du Interesse an dem Pakt hast
Bo Ismono mach ich!
Bo Ismono ich hab dir mal auf FB geschrieben
I wish Aer would release a 2018-2019 edition of their travel pack.
Agreed ;-)
I was looking forward to seeing your review of this bag. I ordered late on Indiegogo, so expect my bag later this Summer
Cool, let me know how you like the bag when yours has arrived
I don't get why anyone would get a non backpack
I think it has a lot to do with your line of work or your style. I actually found out that many people just don't like combining wearing a suit with carrying a backpack. So they rather opt for a duffel or a rolling case.
Wait til you get a real job and have to be around professional working adults.
hair dryer lolololol
Lots of different uses for a hairdryer besides using it for drying your hair ;-) But I can see, how a hairdryer might seem funny ;-)
Bo Ismono I don’t want to know what freaky shit u use your hair dryer for dude
😂 Yeah, drying clothes is definitely quite freaky 😂
Bo Ismono what a travel hack. How long does it take to stand there blow drying your wet stuff, an hour?
Dude please do a desk review / video. It’s on topic with your audience and yours looks very thoughtful. Much love! Cheers
Hey Cole.
That's not my desk unfortunately. I was in Berlin while filming this. This was at a postproduction house.
Bo Ismono Oh ok, well it looked like a very cool setup! Nevertheless, something like that may be cool.
My home setup is not even closely that impressive haha. But I will think about a video ;-)
How did the import from US work? Concerning taxes etc.
Hi Bo, what hair dryer do you use? Love your videos as always!
Thanks, Carl. I have this one amzn.to/2mhfIZ2 I find hotel hairdryers to be too hot.
Soon we'll all come to the realization that the wheeled backpack is the only sensible option.
For those who dont need a mechanical keyboard, and hairdryer then this bag is more than enough it seems. Im a one laptop man myself
I've always felt comfortable in the presence of a one laptop man.
Hey Bo, awesome review! Curious what your final scoring is? C. Reeves savaged the pakt one with a 6.7 carryology rating.
Thanks, Ed. My scoring is actually pretty much the same ;-)
Great review. You’re amazing Bo!
No Happy in this one. :(
#FanOfHappy
Yeah, She couldn't come to Berlin with me.
Where do you live.....i loved the place i mean the outdoor where you have made this video....please reply soon
I filmed this in Berlin. I was there for a business trip
Du solltest deine Verbesserungsvorschläge dem Hersteller mitteilen.
Hallo Alexander. Die meisten Hersteller schauen sich die Videos auch an. Aber meist sind die Taschen ja schon im finalen Produktionsablauf und lassen sich nicht ändern. In den seltensten Fällen wird eine Version 2 gemacht. Bei boundary supply war mein Quicklook aber zb noch rechtzeitig, so dass einige meiner Kritikpunkte in der finalen Version überarbeitet wurden.
Why in the world would you complain about the weight when YOU are packing all that heavy crap. The bag weighs 3.5 LBS for chrissakes. Obviously you people with the heavy gear need a bag on wheels. Jeeze. ONE night? Okay, I can pack in a woman's handbag with room left over. Hairdryer. Spare me.
Hey Cindy.
First of all, thanks for watching the video. I'm sorry to hear that you don't like my way of reviewing this bag.
As a reviewer of any item (especially with this kind of price tag) I believe it is important to challenge the item and specifically look for negative aspects even if they seem nitpicking. For you as a consumer there is no sense to watch a review that only covers positives. And obviously I better use a rolling case for my gear (different horses for different courses) but this is a review for this specific bag and i used it in my personal usecase scenerio in a real event opposed to just review it at home.
Thanks again for watching. Stay safe. 😉 ✌️
So no criticism of this bag...no cons... besides the genius insight that a heavy bag will start to make your shoulder ache over time. Hah, is that supposed to show that this is an honest review. LOLOLOLOL
Hey captain.
Not sure what video you were watching, but I talked about multiple negatives at the end part of the video. I'm always open to feedback and discussion if you found more negatives with this bag 😉
@@Youknowthebo ok sorry will delete
will delete tomorrow
No need to delete. It's all good. I was just wondering. And as mentioned, if I missed anything I am all open to feedback or suggestions 😉 thanks for watching this video
@@Youknowthebo I'd previously just skipped around the video, and like a fool, said you didn't criticize the bag. I see now that you did. I'm sorry.
One point remains however. You saying that if you pack a duffle bag heavy, it's going to be uncomfortably heavy. This is a truism. I don't see how it could be the fault of any particular over-the-shoulder duffle... unless the shoulder strap pad is thin. Which isn't the case here.
I suppose you were just reminding people of the obvious.
Otherwise very good review and filming.
(hair dryer was hilarious to see in minimalist video.)
Ismono .... like an Indonesian name.... :D
Both of my parents are from Indonesia, but I was born and raised in Germany
Bo Ismono do you speak Bahasa Indonesia? Btw....Do you have a leather bag?
Great socks
Nice one
Great video
thanks for this
Thanks for watching, Lauren
chic, aber sch..... teuer 325
