The idea for the GOBAG was formed in the Scottish Highlands in 2013, when James Fyfe struggled to find a suitable bag that he was able take as carry-on as he took cheap flights all over Europe. After a successful Kickstarter project with 663% funding and almost 2,500 backers worldwide, the GOBAG was launched in early 2016.

With the core feature being the removeable Max Pack Bag, the GOBAG accommodates all of your soft gear into less space. Simply put everything into the bag, seal it and compress it, either by using a vacuum or simply by hand. The GOBAG is completely waterproof, so you don’t even need to worry about your valuables whilst canoeing through the jungle or simply getting caught in the rain. It is made from Hypalon and TPU-coated ballistic nylon - the same thing that white-water rafts are made from - so you can be confident of it durability and water resistance.

The GOBAG has YKK zips (including a lockable zip on the main compartment), with metal Duraflex Hardware and EVA foam padding to protect your laptop, camera and flimsy souvenirs. The inside can be customised with a removeable laptop harness (12” - 15”) and transparent wash bag. The waist belt and shoulder straps are also removeable, so you can add them or take them away depending on your trip and gear load.

The two-meter-long oversized YKK zip to the main compartment allows for easy access without eating into the interior space, and the removeable wash bag is a touch of genius as it is airport friendly, so you can scan it through security without stuffing all your liquids in a plastic bag. Additional features include nylon webbing grab handles, nylon loops for boat or bike attachments, internal mesh organiser pocket with key hook, reflective trim, a welded YKK AquaGuard zip document pocket and a handy hidden pocket for passport or money.

The GOBAG is a brilliant bag with answers to most of modern travel problems. It is ideal for those who enjoy minimalistic adventures. RRP £180
