Fernweh Backpacking Bag S/M

Bag is very good quality. I just took it on a two week trip to South America through Amazon and up Machu Picchu. Tough material and zippers. The tons of way to access the main compartment works great. The frame feels really solid and light, as well as the waistband. The waistband really holds you snug. I could ruck with this thing for miles. The space is good, I used packing cubes to fit more in it. Not huge but It was enough for me. Definitely favorite bag!

**my one “negative” is I don’t do photography with nice cameras. So the little camera compartment was a waste for me . I thought I could put other valuables in there but I didn’t understand how you could fit anything in there. Maybe I just understand it well enough. But that was the only thing that wasn’t seamless for me

The Bag itself is a pretty stout 3-5 day bag. You can fit all your lightweight gear in it and get some good mile in.

PROS : Lots of storage space, Comfortable, Easily accessible pockets

CONS: The Pro cube can not hold as much as advertised. I ordered the Pro Camera Cube, and probably should have gotten the deep. If you have 6 Prime lenses that do not have an aperture of 2.4/1.8 then you may be alright. But I cannot fit my 70-200/24-70/12-23/105mm and 35mm with the camera. Ive tried multiple configurations, but the cube isn't deep enough to lay them down and close the bag, which is unfortunate. I may order the Pro Deep just to compare.

-Overall I will continue to give the gab 5 stars, even without the cube I can put all the gear in the bag and use it for the intended purpose. These guys make a solid product. Jason.

Been using wandrd's fernweh for about a year now. I live in Asia and often fly with smaller airlines that don't give any checked bag allowances. So I always carry on - I pack the fernweh full of everything I need for trips anywhere from a week to a month long. It's a backpacking bag, and it does look technical, but somehow it doesn't give off the outdoorsy vibes that most backpacking bags do. IMO this makes it much more versatile, which I love.
