Fyro Levo Travel Backpack

I live in a remote community and use the backpack for transporting my laptop and groceries. The only complaint I have is that I wish the laptop space accommodated an 18" laptop; however, I just use the larger compartment to carry it instead and it holds it fine, it just lacks the false bottom and padding so I just need to be careful when transporting it. When not used to carry my laptop, I'm able to stuff about a weeks worth of groceries inside and can comfortably carry about 50lbs on my back with the chest strap and hip belt for several kilometers. I can also fit a large Hydroflask 40oz water bottle inside the holder while the bag is packed out. The build quality has been excellent with the handles being very soft and durable. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and well worth the price, they make grocery trips much better. A very versatile bag that has been my all around go to bag, would recommend.

I love everything about this backpack, its the most comfortable one if ever bought, everything about it is just right. The perfect backpack!

I’ve used a lot of travel backpacks over the years, and the Levo 36L is easily my favorite so far. A whole lot of notes below, in no particular order:

1). The materials and build quality are honestly fantastic. Everything feels premium and durable without being overbuilt or heavy, and it really stands out in this age of super-heavy “premium” travel bags. I had it loaded up to about 7.5kg, and somehow it was still the most comfortable bag I’ve ever carried, even without the hip belt.

2). I also really love that it’s not crammed with a bunch of internal pockets and is super minimalist in the best sense. That might sound like a downside to some, but it actually made it way more usable for me. Packing cubes and pouches worked perfectly, and I never felt like I was working around the bag’s layout. It just lets you organize things how you want. In my opinion, it’s a really clean, thoughtful design that stays out of your way.

3). And holy cow… the front pocket in the admin panel! The fact that it has its own volume is such an amazing design choice, and I wish more bags did this. It basically works as a big dump pocket for quick-access items, which ended up being insanely useful. Even when both the main compartment and the front pocket were pretty packed out, it never felt bulky, hard to get into, or difficult to pull things out of. Everything stayed easy to access.

I liked this bag enough that I ended up buying the 30L version too. The plan now is to have my wife use the 36L for future trips.

Seriously, Aaron and the Fyro team crushed it, and I can’t wait to see what else the future holds for Fyro.

I went on a week-long trip by myself for the first time recently, and this bag is likely the MVP of my spring break. The bag is so lightweight for its size and so comfy that it wasn't super noticeable while walking across large airports, even when it was packed to the brim with... a bit more clothing than I probably needed for a week. The triple combo of the sternum strap, (optional) hip belt, and load lifters certainly helped.

The build quality, itself, is top notch. All the straps feel like they're never coming out with all that stitching, and all the padding makes grabbing the bag and lugging it around nice and satisfying. The Kodra nylon is such a unique fabric- it really does feel like a less padded Peak Design sort of fabric, which to me screams something that'll last the test of time. It feels durable, yet malleable to easily accommodate whatever weird stuff you're traveling with, like a mirrorless camera in the front pocket. The interior lining is also... beautiful. I was initially hesitant of what I thought would be a brighter orange lining, but the more subdued copper in actuality looks very premium and distinctive with the honeycomb pattern (once again feels very durable).

Speaking of the front pocket, very well done with how much volume it has going all the way down to the bottom, even when the rest of the bag is packed out. Perfect jacket spot, and like I said, somehow managed to get a camera in there as well after packing out the rest of the bag. One minor gripe- the stretch mesh pocket in the front pocket is a little floppier than I'd like (though it doesn't matter too much when the bag is full anyway).

Main compartment... not much to say. It's just a really good place to put most of your travel stuff. Perfect for packing cubes. Just enough extra pockets to fit extra bits and bobs. Laptop compartment is top tier; I wasn't worried at all about my laptop during my flights. Tech dump pocket's very nice and spacious. It's a good way of utilizing that space at the top of the bag. Passport pocket is also generously large though I only put my itinerary in there for my trip.

That being said, I say 1.5 bag travel king because this is really meant to be used with the Citta sling. If I was only interested in strictly 1 bag travel, I can see the lack of typical quick access as a drawback. But with a sling in front (and especially the Citta), it feels like a near perfect system, where all your quick access is on the front anyway. For items you don't immediately need, the Levo carries them with little effort on your part. I wouldn't mind an extra carry option on the side with the side handle, like another side pocket or maybe more lash points for a bit more flexibility... but that's it.

This is a great pack, super light. I would suggest switching the sides the water bottle sleeve and the side handle are on. Most people are right handed and if you grab the handle with your right hand, the straps face out and thefront of the pack faces inwards towards your side. If the sides were switched the straps would be next to your side. I know you can the direction you pick it up, but then the top of the pack faces behind you and things could fall out without you seeing it. Having the water bottle on the right also allows you to reach back and grab the bottle with your right hand without removing the pack. Just my two cents.
