Essential Features for Travel Bags
How do you pick the pack that can accommodate what you need? It’s a simple question but requires much thought. Since you’ve already determined what you want, here are some pointers to pick the perfect pack
A Pack That Lasts, Just As You Are
Everything starts and ends with durability. Opt for abrasion-resistant and tear-proof fabrics like Cordura nylon, ripstop nylon, or high-density polyester. These materials can withstand wear and tear better than regular nylon or canvas.
Zippers are often the most overlooked. But when you experience a quality zipper or slider, you’d want nothing less. Look for reputable brands like YKK, which have smooth teeth and strong pulls.
Choose a backpack with a long warranty, indicating the manufacturer's confidence in its durability. All of CabinZero packs come with a 10-year warranty, which can be extended to 25 years with a few steps.
Travel With No Sweat
A backpack is as good as how well it can carry and be worn on your back. Sure, you can pack a lot, but that means nothing if your back screams for breaks after 5 minutes of walking. Besides making sure it fits, look for the following features if you value comfort:
- Hip and chest belts
- Padded back panel and shoulder straps
- Adjustable straps
- Internal and external frames
- Air channels or mesh fabric for ventilation
- Breathable and lightweight materials like nylon.
Worry Less, Travel More
No one should spend much time safeguarding valuables during travel. We mean, you should, but there has to be an easier way, isn’t it? Leaving them at home or hotels is a good point, but what about traversing, exploring, and flying?
That’s when security features on your backpacks come to the rescue. Lockable zippers, hidden compartments, and RFID-blocking technology are what you should look for in a secured backpack.
Expandability
Air travel can be strict, especially about what and how much you can bring on board. That’s why choosing a pack that is airline-approved is crucial, especially if you fly on a budget. Besides the size, you also need to pay attention to how squishable your packs of choice can be.
For instance, the CainZero Classic lineup features a lightweight and compact profile which fits the majority of airlines. But they truly shine when you want to shrink your loads. Simply tighten your neatly packed CabinZero bag using compression straps. Your carry-on/personal item will be less bulky, easier to carry, and less noticeable to the security officers‘ eyes.
Note: Always pack reasonably. No one can help you if you try to bring bulky/oversized/overweight bags on board, which may lead to additional fees.
How To Know Which Bag Is Best For Travelling
No two trips are the same. Some may find themselves leisurely strolling around Paris streets, while others may be trekking in the rugged landscapes of Iceland. Knowing the diverse travel styles and needs, we offer a range of travel backpacks and accessories. Anyone will find what they are looking for.
Know What You Want
Where are you going? Is it a city break, a beach retreat, or a rugged trek? Some backpacks, like the Classic, are designed for short walks and day trips with their minimalist style. Others, like the Military and ADV collections, are better suited for hiking and rugged adventure thanks to the added hip belts and paddings.
How long are you travelling? A weekend getaway needs a companion that is about 28-32L. A month-long exploration calls for something with a bigger volume: about 44-50L. If you plan for a half-day trip, a mini backpack such as Classic Flight 12L is fine.
Are there any features you’ll need? What type of opening do you prefer: clamshell, roll top, stuff sack, etc.? Are water-resistant important to you? Do you require a water bottle pocket on the side or a water reservoir? Ask yourself as many questions as possible, and you will get there.
Define Your Travel Style
It’s the age-old question: carry-on or checked bags? Ask yourself if you want to travel hassle-free or if you want to bring as much as you can. When you plan to travel in groups, with families, and especially with kids and the elders, check your luggage.
On the other hand, if your trip lasts less than a month, the answer is likely the former. One-bag travel is a life-changing experience, one where you don’t have to deal with bag-dropping counters, long queues, excess fees, and risks of damaged/lost luggage.
There’s nothing wrong with one way or another (or both). But if you are a minimalist traveller or want to travel as hassle-free as possible, travel light is the way.
Invest In Quality
You may be set back by tens or hundreds of pounds, but the benefits you get from quality backpacks are immeasurable. You are set for years of travel without worrying about replacing or fixing anything.
When you want to travel light in a minimalist way, the CabinZero Classic is perfect for you. These are made from 600D Polyester material with water-resistant coating, ensuring additional protection. The upgraded Classic Tech includes an external laptop compartment on the back and a water bottle pocket.
Anticipating a rough road ahead? You can’t go wrong with the Military lineups. Made from 1,000D nylon fabric, they are ready to handle anything you throw at them. Plus, there is the MOLLE webbing, which is handy to attach additional gear.
Last but not least, the ADV and ADV Pro backpacks. They are the most premium CabinZero backpacks, but you get what you pay for: padded hip belt, Nylon 500D Rip-Stop fabric, Eva foam back panel, etc. everything you need for an extended trek at a volcano or an adventure through the forest.
