Why We Like The NEMO Vantage 20L Backpack

NEMO's Vantage 20L Backpack meets our everyday needs while exemplifying the brand's Endless Promise for environmental responsibility. Its 20 liter capacity is perfect for everyday use with an internal organizational panel, zippered storage pockets, and internal laptop and tablet sleeves that keep our devices accessible and well protected. The pack's material composition is both sustainable and performance-oriented, starting with its CERO face fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles while offering better abrasion resistance and moisture resistance than the competition. Its CCubed cushioning is more environmentally friendly than the EVA foam in most packs while also keeping us cooler and drier. The Vantage is not only designed to last a long time, but it's also made from recycled materials that also can be recycled, potentially keeping this pack out of landfills forever.

Almost Perfect

Great backpack from an organization and design standpoint. I felt like there was just enough organization but not too much. I could have used an extra stash pocket up top like the 26L version but not a make or break. Shoulder straps are crazy comfortable - never felt anything like it. Great size and feels like it fits more than 20L bc of the versatility of that outside pocket. My main gripe is the weight and the reason I couldnt' stick with it is the weight. It is way too heavy (almost 3lbs) for a 20L backpack esp for a petite person. If they are able to cut the weight in half or even 1/3 I would love to have it!

Comfortable and versatile!

I've now had this pack for about 3 months and I'm thoroughly pleased with the Vantage. I needed a replacement for my university backpack that was genuinely comfortable and could fit lots of gear. I can fit my full-sized laptop, charger, 3 books, pen case, several headphones, keys, wallet, water bottle, food, lab equipment, and a change of clothes all in my daily use setup, and the pack remains comfortable. I think the only personal preference adjustments I'd like to see are a fully unzipping laptop section on the right side, and a buckle for the front flap snap instead of the hook. These do not inhibit the current function of the backpack, it would just make it a little more user friendly for day-to-day hurried use. I love the color, the insane amount of pockets, and the red pull tab for the inner top pocket. Seriously, I love this thing!

The go to daily backpack

I was stoked to see NEMO add backpacks to their lineup. For me, it checks all the boxes, comfortable, laptop compartment, organization, and eco friendly. My previous pack was bigger and expanded further from the back and leveraged the weight against me when standing. One thing to note, if you have a 15.6" laptop, get the next pack size up, This pack has helped me ditch the excess junk I carried around before and is much more streamline in size and fit.

High Quality and Comfortable

I own this and the 30L version. I've been primarily using the 30L model for daily use but my teenage daughter has been using the 20L version. She loves the front open pocket and usually holds a jacket or quick access items there. She has used it to hold a pair of shoes and, while tight, does fit. The organization and build quality is great. The reason she uses this bag and not me comes down to size. I take a laptop and ipad to work everyday. While those both fit in here, the fit becomes a bit tight for my purposes. Overall, a great bag and build quality. I highly recommend this bag if your carry needs are on the smaller side.

Fit/Finish/Feel are near perfect.

As with almost all of Nemo's products this thing was well thought out and even better executed. The materials are top notch and the craftmanship is outstanding. The design not only looks the part but plays the part. I have recommended this bag to many friends, most of which informed me that they'd be purchasing.

Love this pack!

I've been using the Vantage 20L for approximately a month as a commuting and travel pack. It fits my enormous MacBook Pro 16" and still protects it due to the suspended interior pocket. The recyclable materials were a big selling point for me and I find them to be really high quality; they're soft and quiet yet appear very durable. My only complaint about the pack is that there isn't a bottle holder and while I've had packs with poorly designed (too narrow, too loose) holders I appreciated being able to modify to have my beverage at hand. I have added a carabiner to the front interior expansion pocket to hold my water bottle but have to throw the coffee cup inside. I like the stealth valuables pocket, it will be handy for big city travel. Thanks NEMO for making this fabulous and low-impact pack!

Fantastic bag, love the pockets

I purchased this bag about a month ago and love it. Well designed with many useful pockets, and the secret pocket is a great place to stash a water bottle for easy access (and it doesn't fall out)

Beautifully functional. Functionally beautiful.

I’m a remote worker and this bag has been great carrying my work gear to various coffee shops. Sits snug and comfortable on my shoulders. Love the color and the compartments for organizing all my gadgets. I know this isn’t what most people will be considering when purchasing the Vantage, but I find the versatility is a big factor in that it can double as an urban bag as well as for the outdoors.

Outstanding Backpack

I have been using the Vantage 20L as my commuting to work backpack, and it is everything that I need in a backpack. It organizes and protects all my work essentials and looks good on the train, street, and in the office.

Killer bag!

Hands down the coolest daypack / citypack I've ever owned. Do I wish the zipper went down a bit further? Sure, but who cares? Amazing design and attention to detail. It feels incredible to wear. The straps are beautiful. The fabric is clutch. It stands up by itself! And the Endless Promise is the real deal. Great work, NEMO!
