A single backpack isn’t the kind of bag you bring when traveling for anything more than a day or two. It’s just not big enough to handle the amount of stuff you’re likely to need, even if you’re the type to pack light. The guys behind ProGo, however, claim their backpack is duly capable of doing just that.
With a 35-liter capacity, ProGo is supposed to be able to pack an entire week’s supply of clothes, which sure feels like pushing it (unless you plan to wear the same shirt two days in a row… or something). Still, if it can hold a few days’ worth, it’s already mighty impressive, especially considering you’re packing a whole load of other stuff with that.
The ProGo Backpack’s main compartment comes with built-in shelving that allows you to easily organize that week’s supply of clothing, as well as equip it as a hanging shelf once you get to the hotel room, so you don’t have to bother taking your clothes out of the bag. Aside from that, it has a top compartment that’s sized to hold a pair of shoes, individual laptop and tablet compartments, a dedicated pouch for toiletries, a small accessory pouch on the side, and a hidden pouch in the back that’s sized to hold your passport, wallet, and valuables. There’s also a built-in Bluetooth tracker (just in case you forget where you left your bag), two mesh pouches for water bottles, and a trio of additional storage options on the straps (phone pocket, sunglass loop, and a carabiner).
Oh, if that wasn’t enough, the interior shelves are removable and can be replaced with the included camera dividers, allowing you to turn it into a heavy-duty camera bag. Construction is a waterproof tarp, so you don’t need to worry if you get caught in the rain, with padded back support to keep things comfortable. It measures 21 x 14 x 7 inches (h x w x d).
A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for the ProGo. Pledges to reserve a unit starts at $216.
