Product is great the box not so much

As with all my other Nanuk case this bag shows the same great quality I was beyond disappointed in the packaging one piece of tape across the top that didn’t even cover the two lid parts and another piece of tape going across the short side of box the lack of quality in packaging raises questions. Did I receive the product quickly yes was it damaged in any way no did the bag meet my needs yes and then some over all the product is great and a must have. It is built well and has more room than expected so I’m extremely happy about that but the way it was packaged need more attention

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! We’re committed to delivering both high-quality products and a smooth experience for every customer. We'll take note of the shipping and packaging review and we will improve it.

Probably THE BEST backpack that I was owning

Probably THE BEST backpack I've owned throughout my 15-year journey in videography.
Solid, secure, sleek-looking, and incredibly comfortable. I've had mine since the very first day of its release.
Recently, I experienced a minor issue, which was quickly resolved by the NANUK support team.
Highly recommend it, and can't wait to try their new slings!

Nanuk 30L Backpack

Love this bag a lot! Also love that it’s a Canadian brand. I’ve owned multiple Nanuk 910 cases and have loved them so when I came to the point where I wanted a portable way of carrying my camera/drone gear, I knew I had to have this bag. It’s holding up well so far and is very comfortable to wear even with a fairly heavy load out! Maybe some day I’ll get to collaborate with a brand like Nanuk since that would be a dream!

Hi James, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled your N-PVD 30L is keeping your camera and drone gear comfortable and secure—and that you’ve loved your NANUK 910 cases, too. It means a lot to have your support for a Canadian brand. We’ll keep that collaboration dream in mind, and hope your backpack continues to serve you well!

Amazing Pack

Everything I wanted in a pack. Top compartment is killer! Hold my e smart batteries perfect. Used this for treking in the woods with my audio gear. I have been a competitor brand ambassador for years but this will replace those.

Hi Mike, thanks for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled the N-PVD 30L fits your audio gear and eSmart batteries so well—and that the top compartment is a standout. It means a lot that you’re making the switch. Happy trekking!

Decent bag, fatal flaw

I want to love this bag so much but I just can’t. It has good compartments and appears to be very well built, as in I trust it will stay together. However a bag at this price point simply can not have such undersized and poorly padded shoulder straps. They are woefully inadequate and dig in to your chest area very uncomfortably with a pack out of any significant heft.

Unfortunately for me I did not get a chance to use the bag until 32 days after I purchased it or else I would be returning it. I want to love or even like it but I walk through too many airports and log too many km’s with my bag on my back to accept this oversight.

Hi Kyle, thanks for sharing such detailed feedback. We’re glad the compartments and build quality made a good impression, but we’re sorry the shoulder straps became uncomfortable when the bag was fully packed—especially on long airport walks. Your feedback is valuable and we’ll share it with our team. Please reach out to our customer service team so we can discuss how we may be able to help.

Nice Commuter Backpack

It is a very beautiful backpack for a commuter backpack. Also its waterproofing is the best.

Hi Samuel, thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you love the design and waterproof features of the N-EDC 26L. Happy commuting!

great for the train

I got this mainly for the train, to carry an ipad, snacks, etc. It's also a nice pack for walking around town. I like it so much I'm going to get the 35L EDC and between the two of them it's enough for a weekend for a co-traveler and me.

Hi Jack, Thank you for your kind words. The EDC is exactly suited for the way you use it glad you like it!

The perfect bag for heavy setup

I've been looking for month to replace my old backpack that my nomad setup outgrew quickly and was wearing fast.
The EDC26 is well made, with great quality zippers and fabric. The double laptop pocket is useful but there is 2 more inside the main compartment if needed. This backpack being a little taller than the other bags i looked at allows me to carry my whole setup including a full size ergonomic keyboard and all chargers and accessories i need on my everyday job. There is a decent amount of interior pockets in the main compartment but there would be opportunity to add 2 small one on the side panels of this compartment.
The rigid front pocket is not too big, perfect for glasses or small items for an easy access. I was missing my hidden back panel passport pocket at first but there is one perfect for this in the laptop compartment.
I've looked at a lot of business backpack in the last year for my life on the road and this is the best fit i could find

Hi Mathieu, thank you for sharing your detailed review it’s really helpful and appreciated!

Amazing Backpack!

There were no reviews on this backpack when I bought it, so it was a bit of a risk. So far it's been amazing, I'm using it as a daybag travelling in Panama. I wanted something with a bit of form to protect my drone. The bag stands upright naturally which has been awesome walking around and setting it down. It isn't a rigid frame but it's fairly structured and very easy to pack a LOT of gear into with its main compartment. I also really like protective front case for my sunglasses. I was a little worried about where my water bottle would go, but even my 1L Nalgene fits well when side pouch zippers are open. The bag is very well constructed and seems water resistant (yet to be tested) with what looks like a ripstop inner material. Would highly recommend this backpack!

Hi Stephan,

We truly appreciate your kind words. Delivering quality products and a positive customer experience is what we strive for every day.

Excellent ajout!

J'ai 2 valises 935 et une 960. Le sac complète parfaitement mon set pour transporter mon équipement électronique pour la musique que je fait. Il est parfait pour le bagage en cabine dans lequel je peux amener mon ordinateur, quelques éléments essentiels électroniques et quelques vêtement de rechange. en plus, il est beau!

Nous apprécions sincèrement vos gentils mots — merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience !

Great bag!

I had a 50L bag previously and wanted something a bit smaller to get around with and make travelling easier. This hit all the marks! It just keeps holding more but also keeps me working with the gear I need instead of everything. I paired it with the Nanuk 935 for travelling and im very happy with both of them.

The only thing i would add is a couple other dividers as i used some dividers from my previous polar pro bag.

All in all im more than happy and would/will recommend Nanuk to other photographers & videographers. Im now also looking to add a larger Nanuk to my kit for big travel shoots

In my bag:
Sony a7r5 & a7r3 + 5 lenses (50mm 1.2f, 35mm 1.4f, 24-70mm ii 2.8f, 16-35mm i 2.8f & the 14mm 1.8f) all that with a filter kit and still the top access is empty to throw in my add on (mini 4 pro or full cage, top & side handle with shinobi ii monitor or 100-400mm 4.5-5.6f with extra space)

Amazing bag

I hesitated to buy this bag due to its price, it is a bit expensive, but the quality is spotless and it looks durable (tho I haven't owned this bag for enough time to say yet). I am a professional photographer, I own many bags (different types and sizes, including hiking backpacks up to 65L), and I like to be able to carry lots of equipment when I need to without fear of damaging anything.

Inside: I love the options the bag offers for inner division, it is very deep and some large lenses could fit standing up in there. I like the triangles in the dividers, they offer protection, and can also contain long small objects (pen, batteries, etc). Otherwise the padding of these dividers feels a little thin to absorb impact between items in the bag. The outer padding is outstanding though! The laptop sleeve is great for a MacBook Pro 16, and the mesh pouch holds the power cable well. The top pockets are well made, and I like that the rigid top divider can be removed, and also comes with straps to stabilize items if needed.

Outside: The bag looks beautiful. The side pockets are great, I can fit a 1L Nalgene bottle in there! The outside straps are good, and I like the sturdiness of the metal clips/hooks. I own some bags that had weak ones that I could ben with my hands, and I had to replace them when they broke. Those on the Nanuk are serious stuff. The shoulder straps are more comfortable than they look. I'm used to thicker/larger straps for a bag this size, but I was surprised. I hope they will hold well for long. The waist straps could have been slightly more generous too, but the padding is good and they achieve well what they were made for.

I wish the outside of the bag had some MOLLE or more options to attach items on top or the front. Other than that, the bag is extremely well made. I love the fact that it stands by itself, thanks to the rigid bottom. It feels great even heavily loaded. The laptop sitting right against the back helps balancing the weight closer to the body.

Conclusion: I always prefer to buy Canadian when I can, and I'm extremely happy with every Nanuk products I have. This bag does not disappoint for its quality and the options it offers, and I am confident I will last. I highly recommend!

Best messenger bag on the market

Field tested this bag over the last year in harsh winter climates to filthy woods and construction sites for professional documentary work. Originally reviewed 4/5 but wanted to update with a 5 star.

Build materials are fantastic, holds up and very durable. It's shocking how much you can fit in this bag from a camera body with 70-200 and a 100-400 and extra lenses on top of that. Very comfortable and quick to access gear. Pockets are well thought out and enjoy the tripod strap.

Would buy again!
