Why We Like The WANDRD PRVKE 21 Backpack
There's no need to worry about keeping your camera gear safe through airports or around town with the PRVKE 21L Backpack. A durable nylon fabric is abrasion resistant and a waterproof coating sheds away light moisture or rain when it sneaks in on you. An easily accessible side entry panel allows you to quickly grab your camera when the shot is perfect, and a side water bottle pocket doubles as place to keep your tripod when the day calls for long exposure shots.

Perfect bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bag. It has taken me forever to find a bag that is the perfect size to use for both everyday and travel. This is it. It is super comfortable to wear and really convenient with the two ways of carrying it. I am able to fit exactly what I need in it day to day. When it comes to travel, it fits perfectly under an airplane seat. Overall it has made moving around a breeze. A great product from Wandrd that you won’t regret buying.

Good but maybe the previous gen was better?
So, I owned the 21L PRVKE for a few years and decided I needed more space after purchasing a large tele lens. I do a lot of hiking and biking with my camera gear. I ordered the 31l PRVKE and noticed the changes right away. I think I liked the fit of the straps and pads of the prior gen backpack. (I know they are new and maybe not broken in.... But the new zippers snag all the time and I’m not confident about their durability yet as they just don’t glide like my old bag. I do like the addition of more slim zippered interior pockets on the inside of the back flap. Not sure if I like the new chest clips- if they last they could be a cool upgrade, but they are definitely not as robust as a typical clip. I would have like to see some kind of pouch to support a tripod that’s strapped to the back of the pack. Smaller ones can fit in the side pocket- Overall still one of the best packs out there-

I finally found my unicorn bag!
I have tried so many backpacks, both photography (Peak Design) and non-photography (Tom Bihn), to find a way to easily carry my gear, my laptop, and other essentials either for work or travel. I came to Wandrd through the X1 Crossbody and, after months of agonizing, I ordered the Prvke 31.First: it holds my most important camera gear perfectly. In the camera cube, I packed my Nikon D780 (full-frame DSLR) and the following lenses: 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8 and 50mm. Then I tucked in my camera strap in the narrow space left on the side. Everything felt snug and safe, and I could easily pull my D780 body out of the side access panel. I am sure I won't have issues with lenses attached either.Second: The weight load is perfect. I'm 5'4 and worried that this bag would be too big for me, and Wandrd having a model close to my size wearing the bag convinced me to go for the 31 over the 21. My biggest problem with the Peak Design bag was that the weight is weirdly distributed once loaded, and I felt like a Koopa Troopa wearing it. It just was not comfortable, and my lenses rattled, which was not good! Because of the weight distribution, I found the Privke easy to lift, place on my back, and carry when fully loaded. Third: Ease of access. My last two plane rides, including a trip to England, were with a Tom Bihn Addax, and every security point we passed through required me to completely unpack my bag to get to the camera cube tucked at the bottom. That won't be an issue with the Prvke. All I have to do is unzip the back panel and there's my camera, my laptop, and anything else TSA needs to check. Brilliant! I will be putting the backpack through its paces this weekend, with a convention trip that will have clothes in the top part and my camera in its cube. I am sure it will pass with flying colors.

Nicely Made
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was mainly looking for a photography bag and found the PRVKE to be a very nice design for that but so much more!

Amazing backpack, with one fatal flaw
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So i want to leave this review with the fact that I first bought the 21L and then upgraded to the 31L. If i ever needed to upgrade again, I would continue to purchase the Wandered.It's comfortable, well organized, extremely high quality.There is one fatal flaw. to open the backpack, you have to put the vinyl front face of it down on the ground. The vinyl side looks nice, but it's also the side that scratches and attracts dust.So over time, especially opening the backback on a dirty surface or a rough surface, it'll scratch and start to look bad.It would have made more sense to not have to put the backpack upside down to open it if you are going to use the nice and aesthetic and scratchable vinyl.There IS a workaround, and that's attaching the straps to the face of the backpack.So, it would be nice if they gave you a set up straps with every purchase, but they don't. Again, ill keep buying it, and of course the scratches don't reduce functionality, It would just be nice if the design let you take better care of it.

Great Motorcycle Commuter Bag!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily commute on a motorcycle to work so I needed a bag that was durable and most importantly weatherproof/waterproof. This bag fit the bill. I have been caught in a few down pours with this bag with and without the rain fly. All the contents remained dry.I commute 72 miles round trip and the bag remains comfortable throughout. I like the elastic bands that control the excess straps from flapping in the wind and whipping me on the side. Those that ride know that feeling.My only gripe is that I would like better storage/organization for smaller items. The zippered pockets are small and don’t provide much room. Overall still a great bag for my purposes.

The best backpack money can buy.
First off, another really high quality feeling bag, with another beautiful (if not subtle) colour, I already own a Rogue 9L Sling and I was excited to buy a bag for my partner.Adjustability and comfort are a straight 10, all of the pockets and customisation options make another 10, and I feel like no one will mention that all straps feel so secure that you know you can just pick it up, not a single bit of gentleness needed.Also another bag that even when “full” just keeps holding more and more and even then more. If you were holding off on buying one, stop now, buy it, and be comfortable and happy while you carry EVERYTHING you need (and want).

Stitching Failure - Support Won’t Cover Under Warranty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stitching failed on this bags Velcro after very light usage over 6 months. I reached out to support to assist in getting this fixed. They told me that it’s a failure but they’re not covering it because the bag is useable. If this is being advertised as a premium bag with a premium price and life time warranty, failures on products (especially in the first year) should be covered with no hassle. Instead I was told to file a claim when the bag is no longer useable and that is somehow not caused by me. Doesn’t seem right if you ask me.
