Is the Stubble & Co motion adventure pack 38l worth it? After testing the Stubble & Co motion adventure pack throughout my city travels, this is definitely one I’ll be bringing with me on my next outdoor adventure. Although heavier than I would’ve expected on its own, once I was all strapped in the weight felt more than manageable. The slim design and various compartments make it best suited for a short-term weekend getaways by train (not so much for flights because it doesn’t meet most carry on baggage requirements), or for a two-day camping and hiking trip. How I tested the Stubble & Co motion adventure packI’d never tried this brand before, but after reading up on previous tester’s reviews, like the wheeled duffle bag, I decided to give the motion adventure pack a try. From the London heatwave to a week of rain, I knew even staying in the city would offer a landscape of testing opportunity before taking my bag on my next road trip. Over my treks around London I tested for its ease of use, weatherproof credentials, storage space and comfort when carrying. For anyone who’s spent at least half a day climbing hills and forgoing endless changes in weather, you’ll know how important being properly kitted up is. Over the years I’ve tested many variations of this. From venturing out with pockets stuffed and hands full to lugging big bulky bags with my entire life shoved inside, I have definitely learned the hard way what can make or break one’s experience of the great outdoors. So, I wanted to see if this adventure pack would be my solution. During testing, I took the following into account:Durability: I assessed how well the Stubble & Co bag fared against wind, rain and shine. The bag claims to be water resistant, so I tested just how much water it could take. Comfort: This adventure pack was worn for a week’s worth of commuting around London, and each day was considered for the comfort and support it offered during wear, along with any noticeable effects on the shoulders or back in the following days. Aesthetic: It’s rare to find a travel bag that is both practical and stylish, so I assessed to find out if one would compromise the other in this case.
