If you depend on your EDC bag to keep you prepared day to day, you can probably imagine how crucial a good backpack can be for long-haul travelers and “onebaggers,” who practically live out of their luggage. While there’s no shortage of “one bag” style packs out there, the bag experts at Carryology had their sights on building the perfect pack for the job. They brought their experience and expertise from reviewing countless of travel bags and teamed up with the Scottish adventure gear brand Trakke to release an ultra-limited travel pack collaboration. When it comes to travel bags, the Storr SP 35L is quite literally cut from a different cloth: the traditional coated canvas exterior is a nod to the past and Trakke’s roots, while the cutting-edge Dyneema interior offers a glimpse into the future of bags in line with Carryology’s vision. Together, they result in a timeless pack that’s built to last a lifetime of adventure.

As a special collaboration between an adventure gear brand and a team of bag enthusiasts, it’s only fitting for the Storr 35L to be a travel pack worthy of being your “one bag.” It’s neither a backpack nor a piece of luggage, but instead, something much more versatile that can flex between those roles. Its main compartment opens clamshell style for easy loading and endless configuration, revealing its ultralight Dyneema interior. Woven with the world’s strongest fiber, Dyneema offers an incredible strength to weight ratio and excellent weather resistance. The orange Dyneema used here is especially helpful for providing high-visibility contrast, while its slight translucence lets you see your gear even in the zippered compartments while still keeping them safe from moisture. The three thoughtfully placed zippered compartments give just enough internal organization without getting in the way of your preferred packing methods. It’s all wrapped up in a salt-and-pepper canvas exterior that’s coated with both traditional wax and synthetic water repellants, giving the bag a classic look without compromising weather resistance.

It’s the little things that can be gamechanging when it comes to traveling with one bag, and the Storr SP 35L nails plenty of them. Three grab handles make it easy to pick up, carry, and load the bag in and out of bins, trunks, and overhead compartments. The backpack straps detach and stow away into the back panel, which also features a hidden zippered compartment. A large exterior zippered pouch can store a water bottle or other similarly shaped gear you’d want at a moment’s notice, while two diagonal zippered pockets on the front of the pack offers quick access storage. YKK Aquaguard zippers used throughout the bag heighten its weather resistance to match the rest of the materials used.

Only 100 pieces of the Storr SP 35L were produced for this collaboration, along with optional, matching accessories like a keychain and Dyneema packing cubes. If you’re looking for a capable travel companion, this might be that “one bag.” Check it out at Trakke’s online shop at the link below.
