This is by far the best backpack I have ever had. I am both a tech, travel and gym guy.
This backpack allows me to have all of that in one!
As you search this backpack on youtube, you will see that some people will tell you that you cannot take it to your meetings or in a corporate world but I didn't care.
The material is very well built and sleek.
The zippers are very well built and placed in the best way possible.
Every single pocket and hidden pocket/sleeve makes it where you can literally take everything on your work from home desk or at work desk and fit it all in this backpack.
I bought the three set pouches. I use those for my cables, shoes, or clean/backup/dirty clothes they are stretchy and have mesh so you can actually see what you're trying to find and the zippers are very well made.
Lastly, I know I mentioned the gym and the usage of the backpack. Once you strap everything together, you can just hold it from the side as if it were a suitcase and you are ready to walk out with confidence.
There is a dedicated small pouch at the bottom of the backpack or I place my gym shoes in there. And just remember you guys! With the laptop pouch, it has a rise pocket so every time you slam your backpack on the ground or place it on the ground, your laptop will never hit the ground and I love that feature so much.
Lastly I would like to highlight the pockets once again because there are so many pockets and actual little hidden compartments where you can hide stuff.
The sleeves and the sponges along the back are absolutely ideal for a bigger guy like myself with a little bit of extra visceral fat and in the summer as I go to my meetings with the heavy perspiration.
And I would love to add how they actually thought of making the chest strap and the top handle of the backpack magnetic.
WAY TO GO!
I HIGHLY FREAKING RECOMMEND THIS BACKPACK! WORTH THE MONEY!
Absolutely love this bag, so functional
I've been eyeing this bag since spotting it in a Facebook Kickstarter ad ages ago. The price and wait time initially held me back, but finally, by mid/end of 2024, production began!
While waiting, I tried three other bags that shall remain nameless. One was too heavy, another lacked a water bottle compartment, and the third simply didn't have enough compartmentalized space for my needs as a remote worker who sometimes travels with three laptops.
My Minimul arrived a few weeks ago, and I just put it to the test! First, I took it on a 4-night cruise as my extra bag with one Macbook Pro. Then immediately after, I used it as my only bag for a weekend trip, carrying both a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. The weekend trip was the real challenge - I packed all my cords, chargers, electronic devices, laptops, and clothes. Impressively, the bag never felt too heavy on my back, and I loved how easily I could access the different compartments. It fit perfectly under a Delta plane seat, and despite being vertically challenged, I still had room to stretch my legs.
The electronic compartment has a waterproof zipper that's very well made, as are all the other zippers.
My only complaint is the bottle compartment. It only accommodates skinny water bottles (24 oz or smaller). On my first trip, my bottle with a soft rubber bottom created friction when I tried to insert it. For the weekend trip, I switched to a skinnier, bowling pin-shaped stainless steel bottle which worked better.
Besides the money wasted on other bags, my one regret is not patiently waiting for this bag's release. Seung provides phenomenal customer service to back up his amazing product.
After all is said and done: 10/10, highly recommend!
I've only used it for a quick trip to the office with some extra stuff but I'm impressed with the layout and how effective it is.
It was worth the wait (time takes time when you are a startup), The M38 Travel Backpack is exactly as advertised, rugged materials, sleek design and thoughtful arrangement of inner compartment / storage areas for clothes and office on the go like a computer sleeve that's protected yet quick to reach "hello TSA". Hats for to the team at Minimul, I'll stay tuned for your next product to come to market,
