Tomtoc Navigator-T61 Rolltop Backpack 20L Review

I Recently ordered a backpack after years of using shoulder bags. I still like my briefcase/shoulder bags for client meetings or office scenarios, but they’re just not convenient for travel or out in the field work. I didn’t need a backpack specifically for cameras because I use a Sony point/shoot camera and/or a small Sony camcorder, so no extra lenses or flashes are needed to be packed. But, I definitely need something that can protect my MacBook and other gear/necessaries.

That’s when I discovered @tomtocbags a relatively newer designer/manufacturer of laptop sleeves/bags/backpacks and gear cases. I really like the modern and sleek designs of their offerings. I also like their sustainability features: Manufactured with at least 50% recycled materials, manufactured at facilities that protects the rights and health of workers, and made with chemicals safer for people and the environment. They seem to be going for the market taken up by more expensive bag manufacturers like Timbuk2. Tomtoc was a refreshing and pleasant finding.

What I like about this backpack:

Modern, sleek, sustainable, and durable design.

Ample room for gear, clothes, and other necessities. Especially when rolled all the way up. Nice padded protective pockets for both a laptop and tablet, and slots for additional gear/tech.

Water resistant materials and waterproofed front pocket and back access zippers.

Expandable side pockets that can easily accommodate larger water bottles.

Quick access back zipper for laptop/tablet pockets, luggage strap on back, and a nice key hook/strap inside front side pocket.

Comfortable back padding and padded shoulder straps (no sternum strap, which I don't mind) with three carabiner loops on each side.

Price points that are much less than what companies like Timbuk2, Stubble&Co, and Wandrd are charging.

My wishlist for Tomtoc:

Side mount/compression straps to secure a longer umbrella, taller water bottle/thermos, and/or tripod would be nice. The backpack does have two top loops on both sides of bag that a carabiner paracord (see 1st above photo) or something like a Think Tank Photo Disguise Strap could be attached to.

I would have liked the inner lining to be orange, bright yellow, or lime green for visibility when searching for things inside.

I would have liked the bag to be a little larger at least aesthetically. I’m taller/larger (6’ 1” over 200lbs) so when not fully rolled up it looks a little small on me. Not an issue when the backpacks fully packed and rolled up (expands from 17 to 20L) though. However, I can see the size being a benefit when traveling by plane or when getting around in a city environment.

Though not that big of a deal, waterproofing the top and front side zippers like the front pocket and back access ones would be a smart move going forward.

Along with the carabiner loops, I wouldn't mind seeing a D ring on one of the shoulder straps in the future. But, nothing that a carabiner paracord (see 2nd above photo) wouldn't solve.

Final thoughts:

The Tomtoc 17-20L Navigator Roll Top Laptop Backpack definitely strikes a nice balance between great quality and affordability, making it one of the best minimalist roll top backpacks available at this price range. Not only is it constructed with durable materials, but the inside is ample enough for clothes and gear perfect for both short leisure and business trips, and also daily commutes and onsite work. Definitely recommend this backpack. Looking forward to checking out more of their products.

Update: I attached an 8Link Quick Release Magnetic Sternum Strap. Helps when I’m carrying more than usual and especially while traveling/away.

Finding the Best Travel Backpack for Your Kenyan Adventure

When planning a trip to Kenya, choosing the right travel backpack can make or break your experience. From safaris in the Maasai Mara to hiking Mount Kenya, you'll need a versatile and durable pack that can keep up with your adventures. Let's explore the features that make up the best travel backpack for your Kenyan journey.

Durability: Built to Withstand Kenya's Diverse Land scapes

Kenya's varied terrain demands a backpack that can handle anything. From dusty savannas to humid coastal regions, your pack needs to be tough. Look for backpacks made from water-resistant materials like ripstop nylon or polyester. These fabrics resist tears and abrasions, ensuring your backpack survives encounters with thorny acacia trees or rough volcanic rocks.

Consider backpacks with reinforced bottoms, as you'll likely set your pack down on various surfaces. YKK zippers are industry standard for their reliability – crucial when you're far from civilization and can't afford a broken zipper.

Some top contenders in the durability department include the Osprey Farpoint/Fairview series and the Peak Design Travel Backpack. These packs are built to last and come with impressive warranties, giving you peace of mind as you explore Kenya's wild spaces.

Comfort: Essential for Long Days of Travel

Whether you're trekking through Kakamega Forest or navigating Nairobi's busy streets, comfort is key. The best travel backpacks for Kenya feature padded shoulder straps and a supportive hip belt to distribute weight evenly. Look for packs with ventilated back panels to keep you cool in Kenya's warm climate.

Adjustability is crucial – a pack that fits well is infinitely more comfortable. Many quality backpacks offer torso length adjustment and load lifter straps to fine-tune the fit. The Tortuga Setout and Aer Travel Pack 2 are excellent examples of backpacks that prioritize comfort without sacrificing functionality.

Remember, a comfortable pack means you can carry more without fatigue, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Kenya's breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture.

Organization: Keeping Your Gear Accessible

From camera equipment for capturing Kenya's stunning wildlife to layers for chilly nights in the highlands, smart organization is essential. The best travel backpacks offer a balance of main compartment space and smaller pockets for frequently used items.

Look for backpacks with clamshell openings, allowing you to pack and access your gear like a suitcase. This feature is invaluable when staying in different lodges or camps across Kenya. External pockets for water bottles are a must in Kenya's often hot and dry climate.

Some backpacks, like the Nomatic Travel Pack and Wandrd PRVKE, offer modular organization systems. These allow you to customize the interior to fit your specific needs, whether you're carrying binoculars for birdwatching in Lake Nakuru or snorkeling gear for exploring the coral reefs of Watamu.

Security: Protecting Your Belongings

While Kenya is generally a safe destination, it's wise to choose a backpack with security features. Look for packs with lockable zippers to deter opportunistic theft, especially in busy areas like markets or public transportation.

Some backpacks, such as the Pacsafe Venturesafe EXP45, incorporate anti-theft technologies like slash-resistant materials and RFID-blocking pockets. These features provide extra peace of mind, allowing you to fully enjoy Kenya's attractions without constantly worrying about your belongings.

Consider backpacks with hidden pockets for storing valuables like passports and cash. The Tortuga Outbreaker, for example, includes a secret pocket in the hip belt – perfect for keeping important items secure yet accessible.

Choosing the best travel backpack for your Kenyan adventure is an important decision that can significantly impact your travel experience. By prioritizing durability, comfort, organization, and security, you'll find a pack that meets the unique demands of traveling in this diverse and beautiful country.

Frames of Shanghai from Of Two Lands on Vimeo.

This is a collection of moments captured in Shanghai during one of my documentary shoots back in 2019. I had completely forgot about all the B Roll I had captured overs a few days and it was a great experience to re-discover this footage after more than 4 years.

I love how Shanghai has this mix of old and new. It features one of the most futuristic skylines but at the same time you can find old wooden structures and temples everywhere around the city. Most of the footage is shot at sunrise or at night as the rest of the day was mostly spent filming for the project with my friend Ben.

All shot handheld. 4K Prores, in 24 or 50 fps.

Let me know if you have any questions :).

Cheers, Flo

Backpack review: Thule Covert & WANDRD PRVKE

Day 6/90 Reminder: these are not professional reviews. If you want those, with video and all the other bells and whistles, the web is full of them. The following are my biased opinions—some from trying a bag for two days, some from using one for months. This is not purchasing advice, and if you make an investment decision based on what I wrote, you are on your own 🙂 Left: WANDRD PRVKE – Right:…
