Packable Adventure Backpacks

Gobi Gear's Free Spirit 30L is Ultra-Light and Fully Packable

— October 23, 2017 — Lifestyle
Live now on Kickstarter is the only backpack -- the Free Spirit 30L -- that combines packability (it packs in its own headpouch) with buiilt-in organization. But that's not all. The pack also features tons of pockets, deep sturdy water bottle pockets angled to be reachable when the pack is on and a built in spot for water bladder.

The segments inside fold out of the way for bigger items and side compression straps help adjust this 30L pack to adjust to large and small loads. Most travelers already have a backpack or two, but the Free Spirit 30L is different. Imagine being able to put a wet rain coat in its own segment and everything else in the pack stays dry, or avoiding the dreaded gear dump because everything goes in its place and stays there. It's a time- and sanity-saver.

This all combined with back support pads, padded waist straps with storage pocket and adjustable chest straps. Even better, when around town, the waist straps can fold into the pack so they are out of the way until needed. Gobi Gear thought of everything when they created the Free Spirit 30L pack.
