Calls the Matador GlobeRider 35 her favorite travel bag: robust hip belt, load lifters and frame, very comfortable through airports and stations.
“Has a robust hip belt, load lifters and a framesheet with aluminum stay. I don’t use the hip belt as my travel weight is typically only around 20lbs.”
Prefers the Globerider 35 for its look and front pocket and calls the water bottle pocket among the best, but dislikes the bulky hip belt and removed it, leaving about 3 lbs.
“GR35 without a doubt for me. The look and front pocket are perfect”
Calls the Globerider 35 his favorite one-bag pack: lighter, a better water bottle pocket, and it fits under the seat on an Embraer jet.
“GR35 it’s lighter and cheaper and personally I think it looks better. Plus the water bottle pocket is much better. I posted a thread recently about mine fitting under the”
A couple of months in, uses the stash pocket for a packable pack and hat; complaints are a fiddly Velcro waist belt to remove and a tight sunglasses pocket zip.
“I've only had mine a couple of months so no real complaints about the durability.”
Bought the Globerider 35L, found the quality not good, returned it and bought a Peak Design 45L.
“i have bought globerider 35l, the quality is not good, then return it, bought Peak design travel 45l.”
Owned both and sold the Aer; the Globerider 35 is lighter with a better bottle pocket, enough organization and holds more.
“GR35 is lighter, better water bottle pocket, just enough organization without being overkill, and holds more imo”
Bought the Globerider 35 as a lighter replacement and says it is working out great, though removing the hip belt was a pain.
“This bag is working out great and yeah removing the belt was a pain. It wasn’t until I removed it that I realized I could have just tucked it into the bag”
Owns the Globerider 35 and carried a 25 lb camera load comfortably with the hip belt; great organization, materials and comfort, just not quite Aer-level.
“have the globerider 35 and the TP3S Ultra. They are both great and very different from each other. The TP3(s) is about organization, the looks, the fabric and the extreme”
