Boondocker Recycled 26L Backpack - Tidal Blue

I've used the bag every day for the last 7. It's really good quality, all materials feel long lasting.

It does feel comfortable to wear. It fits high on your shoulders. I would prefer a firmer back to it.

The side holsters just about hold my 1 litre Nalgene. It is a very tight fit.

There are enough pockets and compartments for all needs. I especially like the one on the bags hood 👍

I feel as though it's reasonably priced 💲

Would be a good day bag for hiking or other tasks. Travels well in airports. It can fit under plane seats 🛩️

This is a beautfiul backpack and I received lots of compliments on it however it didn't function as well as I expected.

Firstly the little metal ring that goes around the hole for the drawstring came off after about a month of use so it made me doubt how durable it would be. Passenger allowed me to return to bag for a full refund - very easily.

Apart from this I found that the straps rubbed my neck/shoulder after using for about 2 hours on very stop-start walk with kids. I also found that the bag did not let air ciculate very well against my back and I got sweaty quickly on my 25 minute walk to work.

It had ample storage space for my needs, but I felt let down by some of the functionality.

I recently picked up the Boondocker Backpack for our family outings, and it’s been an absolute game-changer. We took it on a recent trip to Disneyland Paris, and it proved to be a lifesaver.

Design & Aesthetics:

First off, the colour scheme is stunning. It’s not only practical but also stylish—perfect for both outdoor adventures and city trips. I love that it’s not just functional but looks great too, with a sleek, modern design. We’ve also started collecting sow-on badges from the places we visit, and they look really smart displayed on this bag. It adds a personal, unique touch that makes it even more fun to carry!

Storage & Accessibility:

The Boondocker's drawstring top with a flap that clips over the top is perfect for quick packing and securing your items. I especially appreciate the easy-access side pocket—ideal for grabbing snacks, drinks, or anything I need on the go without having to dig through the main compartment.

Comfort & Practicality:

What really sold me on this bag is how much it can fit. It easily accommodated coats, nappies, and all the essentials for our 2-year-old, leaving us hands-free and organized. The weight distribution is solid, making it comfy even on longer days out. I didn’t feel like I was lugging around a heavy bag, and everything had its place.

Durability:

So far, it has shown no signs of wear, even with the…
