Nomad Lane sells the small toiletry & tech bag separately for the V3. I would recommend not having such a bulky toiletry bag & put the liquids in a small bag & the rest in a smaller pouch. Also shoes don’t have to be packed together & you can stuff socks in them. I have the Nomad Lane & love it!

That toiletry bag is huge.

Excellent review! We went with the V4 and we love them!

I love my v4 version! Very sleek and streamlined. A quart bag with liquids easily fits in the small pouch for easy access. I put electronics in other pouch.The bag is well built and water resistant…I was in a down pour rain storm and contents stayed dry.

Your demo and explanation are excellent, thank you. But is your toiletry bag compliant for carry-on? It looks large and TSA sites says it must be a clear bag.

[DaveM-FFB]

TSA only requires you to remove your 3-1-1 liquids and your laptop. You don't have to remove your entire toiletry bag (unless the scanner sees something suspicious that they want to examine). I use a quart sized ziplok bag for 3-1-1 liquids in the top pocket. That allows me to have a smaller toiletry bag (8.5" × 5" x 3") - Leatherology. It uses exactly 1/4 of the space in the front cavity. My tech bag (Thule Subterra PowerShuttle, medium) has room for my Bose headphones and uses a bit less than 1/2 the space in the front cavity. The other 1/4 of the space is reserved for the 3-1-1 liquids pouch in the top pocket.

Love watching you pack! I already have several personal item bags so I can’t justify buying another! 😂 You have definitely helped me to become, as my husband puts it, the “master packer!” Thank you Perrie!

These are nice bags but my hands are often full when I’m travelling & I just can’t go past a backpack.

I absolutely loved your video. It felt unbiased. I’m a looking for ways to help with my minimalist packing. How heavy does it get? I’m worried about being able to lift it up. I’m 4’7 so it’s a struggle sometimes.

I enjoyed seeing you pack it. I have this bag (the version 2) and love it. Always nice to see how others use it. The top spots are my favorite feature! I use them for my noise canceling headphones and emergency meds i might need during the flight. The "toiletries bag" they show in their advertising is for the liquids bag only that has to be clear and a quart or less. Im guessing maybe you put your liquid bag inside that big toiletry bag? The goal with this is to make the liquid bag instantly accessible for TSA. I have TSA pre so I dont need that often but do when traveling internationally.

Hi Perrie, I thoroughly enjoy your videos❤! I've had the bagsmart bag in my amazon wish list for quite some time now and look forward to purchasing it one day soon. As nice as the nomad lane bag is, I much prefer a bag that has some wiggle room, especially with the bag sizers for Air Canada 😒.I would to buy some of the underseat bags you get in the U.S. but the dimensions are just too big for Air Canada sizers. Be well and happy travels😊

Great review. You’ve convinced me. I’m an aspiring minimal packer. I’ve purchased exclusively from Tom Bihn for years and they’re excellent bags. However, I like light nylon and they’ve doubled down on ballistic- seems really picky but tactile is an issue for me as I am neurospicy.
I wonder what you think of the newer model?

[aarontooley]

So would you recommend the V3 or the V4 over the other. I assume since it was not said directly that the V4 was a little smaller but just as efficient that you would recommend the V4

[sarawelder]

so did you get this or the amazon bag?

Will it securely hold a 16 inch MacBook Pro?
