Outbound Travel Pack 30L

Comfortable backpack with plenty of space

I don't use this bag for travel very often but it works well for that. It's been quite comfortable the few times I've used it to carry things for extended periods and is very packable. The load lifters work really well and make carrying this much easier with heavier loads. Something I really like is that you can use the external latch points to tie a shock cord and be able to carry a little more on the outside. It's not the best set up for this but it works and gives you a little more versatility. One minor issue is that the water bottle pockets eat into the interior bag space but this shouldn't be an issue unless you're really packing a ton into it. I would highly recommend this bag if you're looking for a fairly versatile 30L travel or every day backpack.

Great backpack! I love the attention too detail in the arrangement of compartments, exterior handles and loops, and interior storage pockets. It's amazing to travel with -- the harness system is incredibly comfortable and feels like nothing on my shoulders. Rework does great engineering and has great build quality.

You finally found the right bag! Buy it now!

I bought the Tortuga - comfortable but overall too much material and too clunky. I got the Aer TP4 (love my CP2) and it was just a little too large and frankly too heavy. I got the Rework 30L Outbound, and voila, the best of the three. It’s not over designed with heavy material, it’s actually quite light, straps are very comfortable, tons of space in the main compartment, the admin pocket is truly the same as the TP4, but the pocket underneath that admin pocket can actually be used and holds a considerable amount of stuff. The upgrades that I would love to see is a microfiber or softer material for that top quick access pocket - I use it mostly for my sunglasses. Sternum strap should be ever so slightly thicker and if it was semi elastic like the TP4 that would be awesome! Add a small magnet to attach the luggage passthrough to the bag while not in use. If possible add a small quick access side pocket like some of the other bags have. If the next one has all those upgrades I would buy my second Rework backpack :) Overall fantastic bag and amazing work Rework team.
