Review Summary

I love my MindShift Gear 180 rotation Travel Away. Mainly because it is a modern backpack perfect for me being a working traveller these days. I have the blue and black one and I love the way it has multiple compartments to fit everything I need. It's perfect for hiking, great for hand luggage and is also safe and secure. The coolest thing though is the rotating belt pack that I can keep things in and swivel it round to access them when I am on the move. I have worn my MindShift Gear backpack in Northern Ireland, England, Kuwait and Hong Kong so far and look forward to more adventures with it.

If you are at all familiar with the Rotation line, you know that the key feature is the rotating beltpack, but the folks at Mindshift Gear are not about to settle for a one-trick pony. The entire line of Rotation180 bags are made with high standards that will make you feel much better about the pricetag. These bags fall safely into the realm of you get what you pay for.? When I am carrying thousands of dollars of camera and computer equipment on my back, a few hundred bucks is not too much to spend on a quality bag. Mindshift Gear is all about the details. While most of the bags that Mindshift Gear creates are for the photographer, this bag reaches out to a more expanded audience. The advertisement stated that it could hold a 15? laptop and I was skeptical about that when I saw the bag. It seemed too small. I think they must have hired the engineering team who developed the T.A.R.D.I.S. because this thing is bigger on the inside. It actually held my wife?s bulky 15? laptop and my iPad, along with a fleece, snacks, noise cancelling headphones, poncho, and the optional rain cover. Don?t forget to order the Ripstop Rain Cover. I have one for both my Professional Deluxe bag as well as this one. It feels good to know your stuff is protected should you get caught out in the rain. All in all, this is a great bag for someone not needing to carry any camera equipment. This is an anyone? and everyone? bag. See my full written and upcoming video review at www.thehomesicknomad.com
