The Nest's streamlined, unfussy exterior conceals a bucketload of features that make it versatile enough for global travel, outdoor activities or even just the daily commute. It's got a 16-litre base capacity, but the special folding 'kangaroo pocket' stashed in the base will give you an extra four litres, while the detachable spider net on the front is ideal for holding bulky items like your cycle helmet. A serious upgrade for autumn 2024 is a hidden V-strap attachment system on the front of the pack, allowing you to attach extra pouches and accessories (available separately). What we really love about the Nest is how well it keeps your stuff organised. The front of the pack opens right up to reveal a roomy main compartment with several zipped mesh pockets for smaller items, and you've also got smaller pockets in the top and back panel. There's a padded laptop compartment with convenient side-zip access (fits devices up to 16"), plus a special foldable compartment with separate side entry and a waterproof liner – ideal for delicate items like camera equipment, or messy stuff that you want to keep separate. Side compression straps help keep everything trimmed in, and it also integrates nicely with Tropicfeel's Lift 40L rollerbag for an unbeatable global travel system.
Tropicfeel are relatively new on the scene – but appropriately enough for a company that started out making ‘the world’s most crowdfunded shoe’, this Barcelona-based brand has hit the ground running.
Their story started in 2016, when co-founder Alberto Espinós and his mate returned from a backpacking trip to Thailand with a serious gripe. The problem, as they saw it, was that their gear just wasn't versatile enough. They were ponying around multiple sets of kit for various different activities, spread across a mismatched set of duffels, day-packs and bum-bags.
Alberto’s vision of travel was one where a single set of apparel would do for hiking, adventurous activities and city breaks, and where adaptable, modular luggage could be combined with an efficient 'ecosystem' of accessories. Working from the ground up, he began by designing a multi-functional travel shoe, pitching it straight to a worldwide community of globe-trotters through an ambitious and meticulously planned crowdfunder.
What followed was one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever to come out of Spain, and Tropicfeel have been quietly rewriting the backpacker rulebook ever since.
What's kind of special about Tropicfeel is an obsessive desire to move forward – to make each new product and iteration that bit cleverer and more versatile than the last. They're also hugely conscious of their own impact, with recycled materials and ethical manufacturing at the heart of pretty much everything they do.
