Dropped down a chute in the Pyrenees, stayed perfect

Used this bag for a 3 week city / Pyrénées 7 night trek and it was truly perfect for both parts of my trip. The bag is hyper organized, easy to manage, fairly lightweight and easily stowed on trains and planes (although when expanded, you may have some issues with the overhead bins on airbus planes vs Boeing).

The real reason for this review is that while in the Pyrenees, I dropped this bag while rappelling down a chute and it tumbled about 150 ft with my Nalgene flying out as well. When I got down to the bag, it was perfectly intact, along with everything inside as well, and the dirt it took on easily wiped off as well. Very clear to me after this that it’s a well constructed bag, and I felt compelled to write this review because of this event.

Highly recommend and very comfortable as well !

Great purchase !

Really happy about my purchase! This bag makes is very versatile and served me well on my trip. I found it is very well built, the admin pocket at the top it practical and the internal organization altough being simple, works well. Appriciated the stow away system for the straps. My only regret is the computer sleeve that is a bit narrow to fit the bigger computers out there.

Amazing

I had an Osprey Farpoint 40 before this back in the day, and it was just lacking in several ways. I have been on a few trips with this pack, and it is nothing short of amazing. It holds a lot of stuff way more than my Osprey. The stretch pocket on the front is one of the best features. The internal organization is very well thought out. The pack carries very well. Having the 6 different grab handles is great for grabbing it out of the overhead bin or if you have to pick it up in an orientation. The zipper are burly. It feel like this pack will last a very long time. I am considering getting the 35 as well for shorter trip because I love this pack so much. If yo are a one bag traveler then look no further and just buy this one.

  • Is the GlobeRider45 carry-on size compliant?
    The GlobeRider45 is a soft-sided pack that complies to carry-on size requirements for most airlines. Carry-on dimensions vary slightly by airline, which is one of many reasons we prefer a soft-sided pack over hard-exterior luggage. Even when fully packed, the back panel padding has enough give to conform to the luggage measurement apparatus for most airlines, both domestically and internationally.

    What size laptop will the laptop pocket accommodate?
    The fully padded laptop pocket is easily accessed from the top of the pack. It fits up to 16" laptops from all manufacturers.

    What kind of frame or internal suspension does this pack have?
    The GlobeRider45 features a backpacking-style internal suspension system. The contoured framesheet, lightweight aluminum framestay, and EVA foam distribute weight from the shoulder straps to the hip belt for superior balance and comfort.

    Is the GlobeRider45 waterproof?
    The GlobeRider45 is built from waterproof materials and has YKK® sealing zippers on all external pockets. This pack is designed to withstand light to medium precipitation for short periods. Outdoor coatings add further protection by letting water slick off the fabric.

    How do the backpack straps and hip belt stow?
    The GlobeRider45 backpack straps and hip belt easily stow into the back panel. Fully unzip the back panel zippers on the sides of the pack, clip the shoulder strap to the hip belt using the white arrows, and securely rezip the back panel zippers with the straps tucked neatly underneath. There is a diagram inside the right-side of the back panel for on-the-go instructions.

    How big is the water bottle pocket?
    The external water bottle pocket can fit the largest of water bottles, including 1-liter bottles and Nalgenes®.

    What is the maximum and minimum sizes that the hip belt and sternum strap accommodate?
    The waist belt minimum is 27" hip circumference and the waist belt max is 51" hip measurement. The sternum strap can get cinched down to where the shoulder straps are 3.5" apart on the users chest or can be loosened so the shoulder straps are 12.5" apart on the users chest

    How long is the warranty?
    The GlobeRider45 has a 3 year warranty. GlobeRider45 is built to last—with the highest quality outdoor fabrics, bartack reinforced construction, and strategic patterning that guarantees long-term performance. Equipment in and out of warranty is eligible for repairs.
