13:25 - The Verdict
In this review, we’re going to be taking a look at the Boundary Supply Errant-a 24 liter backpack that boasts some great functionality in a slick and minimal form factor.
According to Google, “errant” has two definitions. The first is “traveling in search of adventure,” and the second is “erring or straying from the proper course or standards.” We think both of these definitions fit the Errant backpack quite well, depending on what aspects of the bag you’re talking about.
On one hand, it’s designed for minimal one bag travel. On the other hand, it does stray a bit from the norm and what we’ve seen on other packs. We’ve been really pleased with some of these unique features, while some have left us a bit disappointed.
We normally don't bring up price with bags, because we're always happy to pay for quality. But there’s no getting around it-the Boundary Supply Errant is an incredible value for what's offered. Overall, this is a solid pack that looks great and is a joy to use, especially if you're the type of person that likes to geek out about about little details and organization on packs. If you can look past the top access being a bit slow and you don't feel strongly about needing a sternum strap, the Errant is a great option to be used as a daily driver or for minimal travel as a one-bag travel backpack.

What’s your go-to bag for tech and daily carry?
Minaal daily! I backed tbe errant and tried it out for a few weeks but the minaal was still more my style
@@Mike_219 Minaal Daily looks like a great pack, glad you've found the right bag for you. Thanks for watching,
- Nathan
Would love it if you could check out the compagnon the explorer + looks like a quite complete package :)
Love your reviews!
I'm a traditional 9-5 go into the office worker. So I use daily carry bags on vacation to hold small electronics, ID's and purchases I make along the way to keep my hands free. So after witnessing several people who were pick pocketed in Barcelona or wearing backpacks on their front, I decided I didn't want to do that so I now carry the PACSAFE venturesafe GII 25L or 15L depending on my length of trip. Plus I don't have to watch my items as close and enjoy my trip more.
Peak Design everyday backpack
Great review Tom! As a pack enthusiast, I actually bought this, been using it for about 4 months now, loving it. I think for it's size the sternum strap isn't needed so I ditched it, but agreed it didn't look the most secure. One part of the review I would challenge though is that I think the magnets to open/close the main compartment is one of the most satisfying and coolest ways to open/close any bag. Once you know how to do it's incredibly easy and fast.. and so satisfying to do. Maybe it with more time you would have got the hang of it better, and you don't need to zip the bag to do it, plus you don't actually need to use it as much as the laptop section. One small gripe, I felt it was smaller than a 24L, did you find there was less space than a usual 24L pack?
Been using this as my EDC for work and travel. I love it. Great build quality and thoughtfulness. I haven’t had any issues from a customer service standpoint. I think the bag might not be for everyone. Great review. New sub!
Glad it's working out for you Matt - welcome!
- Tom
Nice review. I also found the sternum strap to be useless, and ditched it - fortunately the pack carries comfortably without it. I pretty sure that the velcro "pocket" on the side is actually there to stash that extra strap on the back in case you don't want to use it (which is what I did). This bag really sings when you're using the camera gear accessories, which is the primary reason I bought it. After using it as my EDC for several weeks, I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for dropping your thoughts here Gary!
- Tom
Just got mine today. Same color as yours (slate blue). Very cool packing. No idea what's about all those straps and pockets at first, but learnt after watching your video. Very clever design to take off those sternum straps and hip straps (never need those for my everyday use). High quality materials and comfortable to carry. Interior a little bit packed but let's see how it works when I started using it. I'm happy with this backpack.
Nice job on demonstrating this backpack.
Thanks Paul, glad you're digging the pack! All the best,
- Nathan
I have to say I am loving the look of the errant pack over prima. Plus I love the hidden pockets in the back and side organization panel. If I we're looking into a daily carry I would definitely look into this one.
Good points here L B! The Errant looks a little more streamlined & minimal.
- Tom
Great review! A few small details I really appreciate on this bag: it stands up by itself, the rigid top handle is helpful to quickly move the bag around, that top mesh pocket is so versatile, the bag's slim form factor and very comfortable straps and back panel. My sternum strap is locked in nicely - I leave it there all the time. I purchased two strong magnets to put behind the main compartment's fidlocks (inside the top Nywool pocket), which has helped immensely with the top lid closure.
jonathanc - Thanks for sharing this! Sounds like you have a great system in place.
-Hannah
At 8:38 that's when a lot of people noticed issues, especially if their backpack is uneven.
A lot people try to do it with a single hand, but it works better with both hands trying to navigate it to close. Not ideal but it is what it is for now.
It's really close in being a great backpack. A second iteration of this pack can do better, I don't give up on the company just yet.
Totally - we're looking forward to a second iteration! The price is right, too.
- Tom
Bag is very small as each organization pocket doesn't have it's own dimensions or inflate outwards. If you want to put stuff in the water bottle slot outside or commuter pocket, you sacrifice the inner mesh pockets on the interior, they become useless. If you want to put lots inside the ny-wool pocket or mesh pocket up top, you sacrifice inner volume by quite a bit. It ends up being a small and awkward space to put real items inside the main compartment like a regular bag. I found this perfect to be an edc bag, although a bit heavy, since it feels quite a bit smaller than 24L once organization pockets are in use. Great review as always!
Hey Keith - thanks for dropping your thoughts here! The pockets not being liter-independent is a bummer for sure and detracts from the usefulness.
- Tom
This review was incredible!! Thank you so so much and keep up the great work :)
Glad you found it helpful Jordan! Stay tuned for more 😊🙌👍
- Rebecca
Great review! You can tell you guys did your research! I just hope you went in on regarding the QC issues the backers face with their errant packs. I’m part of the pre order so we are probably in the next batch, hopefully they ironed out all the issues this time around.
Hi audax989! Let us know how your pack is when you receive it!
- Tom
DO NOT buy this backpack if you are a photographer and are looking into Errant Pack + CB1 camera cube. I bought the photography kit and ended up returning it. The CB1 does fit into the backpack very well but when it's loaded with camera gear the upper lid with nipples becomes extremely hard to close. I've seen other users complaining this on Instagram.
Even the compartments in the bag itself are poorly designed. Almost all the pockets fight with each other for space. This is my opinion.
Thanks for dropping your comment here Yunlu. We didn't get a chance to test with the CB1!
- Tom
Our MK-2 Camera case is much larger and is specifically designer for bigger cameras/lenses/ and drones. You could go with that camera case instead of the smaller CB-1 in the future.
Dude yall are awesome! I love the set up on the back wall, I've had ideas of opening a store with a similar set up.
I own a Prima Xpac from boundary and just took it on week long business trip with some field work. I ended up not using it much and will probably go back to my swiss gear as it had much better organizational pockets and sleeves. Your review highlighted that it seems the Errant might have been the better buy but still not perfect for my needs (travel, tech).
Some features boundary introduces are game changers such as the organizational tablet sleeve and little things like the key ring that will keep me tuned in for their future products. I love the company and design so I'm glad I was able to pick up a prima xpac, but I likely won't use it. I think Nomatic, Black Ember, and Arkiv have better "single travel bag" options. I plan on picking up the nomatic 40L next.. the right pack is out there so I'll just keep buying till I get the right combo.
I really like the review and I think yall will help me in my search so I subbed (I never sub!) and I'll follow you guys on insta. Keep up the great work!
Hey Mikey! We're so glad you're digging the content, stay tuned for more! And, we totally get what you're saying, finding the right backpack for you is never easy, but it is out there. Let us know what you think of the Nomatic Travel Pack when you pick it up, we'd love to hear if it works for you! 😊🙌
- Rebecca
Nice review Tom ! It’s great to know how this bag performs
You got it David!
- Tom
Great bag. A tip for the round clips is that when you insert them, you don't need to follow the rails. Just push them into the circular indents and the internal mechanism will snap. You only needs to follow the rails if you want to unclip them. I also find that the pack doesn't need to be zipped at the top in everyday use. The clip will hold the flap down pretty well.
Thanks DarkFireBlade25 - we generally found the magnets on the flap a bit hard to use when unzipped, but pushing them directly in makes sense!
- Tom
It seems like as if a lot of the Kickstarter backers never backed any products before. They expect everything to arrive on time and be perfect. But, that is exactly why this bag was on Kickstarter and not direct to retail. I have waited 2.5 years for a wallet before.
At the price point of the bag, it is quite hard to criticize. The "next bag up" would be the PD 30L, which is more than double of what this bag costs. While everyone is criticising the bad conduct of the laptop compartment (was communicated to fit 17", but barely fits all 15". But then again, this young and hip company didn't expect people to turn up with their 4-year-old giant laptops, instead of just using a Macbook), no one them commented on how BS re-iterated the back panel, tried to fix the magnetic clips and experimented with different fabrics.
I wouldn't be surprised to see an updated version down the road.
The personal insults and how it seemed as if their life depended on the 150-200 bucks made the backers in the Kickstarter comment section look extremely childish. [im not affiliated in any way. I pre-ordered 4 months ago directly from the website and am still waiting. meanwhile i just go on with my life.]. Also cool review Tom. Keep them coming. Ok, coffee break is over.
It's not about the delays that is getting people riled up but the company's way on handling their business. Let's talk about Boundary's Smooth Sailing Guarantee. They kept pulling countries out of the Smooth sailing guarantee without informing backers. Is that an appropriate conduct to you that a company does this to thousands of people? And the fact is all of them gave and is still giving contradicting information and some times down right lied to us and not coming clean and really communicate to us of what's happened but instead Boundary blamed their partners for pretty much about everything. They would have been forgiven for a lot of issues if Boundary would have been really transparent to customers.
There's loads more stuff and everything boils down to this: if you start acting like major player and go over-promising stuff then expect us to hold you to it.
Boundary had the chance to limit the pledges but Boundary did the exact opposite for greed basically. And the amount the accessories that they've put out was too much for a small company. Boundary crammed 2 projects into 1 and in turn completely overextended themselves. They are very good designers and the products itself are good but the approach to the business side is not realistic. Which is actually very important when the CEO has to know there their strength lies in and what areas needs to be improved. But from their actions they don't have a clue. The amount of accessories Boundary has is staggering when main point should in the pack.
Boundary is arrogant, disrespectful towards customers and CS and their logistics simply sucks. It's not cool that they started prioritizing website orders than actually fulfilling KS & Indiegogo backers and now they're out of stock! They are a young company and we will forgive them to a certain extend but a lot of the issues that have been raised have been self-inflicted and because of incompetency they didn't do the proper leg work. And these are not first time mistakes. It's pretty much a repeat from their first project. Boundary is not thinking ahead for the longetivity for their business relationships nor getting people as repeat customers because all of the stunts they pulled.
Thanks for adding your thoughts here Keren + xfani92

@@xfani Now you have to understand that manufacturing is a nightmare process. If only 1 of the 50 contractors you are working with has a delay, then you entire products will be delayed. They most likely source materials from different parts of the world since nobody makes everything they put in the back. Just think about it. You got different zippers, different zipper keys, a lot of different fidlocks, magnets, metal snaps, velcro, webbings, metal hooks, plastic buckles, foam, elastic straps, more than 3 types of canvas,, pvc for certain items, mesh webbing, hell even the damn needles and threads are outsourced. Now imagine that the company that you have contracted to make and deliver the velcro has a fire at their warehouse. Or a hurricane on the other side of the world delays the shipment of webbing for 3 weeks because the ship that carried them was landlocked. And this is only manufacturing. Now take into account labour, transportation, packaging, shipment, customs formalities and every other thing that could possibly go wrong. Even Apple couldn't fulfil iPhone orders a few years ago due to manufacturer issues. Do you know how many screw types Apple uses in their laptops? If only one of them has a delay because some chinese procurement manager got sick or his wife left him and forgot to file the paper, then the whole laptop line-up will have a delay.
TL;DR - in manufacturing, 99% of the time is the partner's/contractor's fault.
@@weplaywax I do understand it and again it's every company's job to be prepared for delays and then more delays. It should be in their action plans and have contingency plans for every thinkable scenario. But we all know something unexpected will always come up and instead hiding behind curtains every respectable company would let their pledgers/customers know what's happening. Transparency is the key here. Instead of blaming your partners the first thing management should ask themselves how this happened and why weren't prepared to this? Going through internal processes and thinking ahead is part of every business and there's no going around it. One should always know major bottlenecks in every step from design, manufacturing and to logistics.
Boundary's issue is that they've put themselves in a tight schedule with too many items to produce in pretty much in every colorway and at the same time dealing with different fabrics (Kodra/X-Pac). And did not take into account for any of the bottlenecks that should have been known since their last project. They missed their deadlines and time slots especially in the logistics. So Boundary wasn't in a priority customer to begin with so I'd think some of the delays was because of it.
Were you a KS backer? There's loads information that most people don't even know about and a lot the delays were as I said before self-inflicted.
Amen Keren! Our quality is unmatched
Great review! Just what I was looking for. Does it come with the magnetic keychain?
Hey Gabriel - we haven't tested out all of the packages to verify this 100%, but from looking at the website, it seems like the "Traveler" and "Commuter" packages come with the magnetic key chain. Hope this helps! 😊
- Rebecca
I was an early backer of this Kickstarter project and purchased the Slate Blue version with the Aux compartment to add more storage options. Please note that the Aux only hooks onto the front of the Errant (two hooks on top) and is tied down on the bottom just like the sternum strap tab. It has come undone a couple of times with just regular movement alone so I would make sure you secure it with some kind of non-permanent method but it makes it a pain to remove it quickly to slim down the pack. I've since removed the Aux compartment since it makes it really bulky when you are moving around a crowded area.
The sternum strap has come undone and I've just secured it with a non-residue stretch tape to the hypalon material, not pretty but it keeps it from getting lost.
The materials are top notch and it feels very comfortable to wear. Just know that the bag doesn't really "expand" and most items you put in there really use up a lot of room if you are not careful in organizing every little thing. The top flap with the two fidlock magnets are a joy to use, when I get them to lock which only about 10% of the time. I was really upset that the company didn't meet the projected delivery time of October 2018 and received my pack at the end of last month (Jan 2019). But since I knew this was a KStarter from the get-go and got it at the early bird pricing, that seemed to lessen the delay pains. Boundary Supply's Errant pack is a step in the right direction but like others have stated, this would have been the perfect pack if they corrected the issues of:
1. Expandability (not much room once you pack in a laptop, camera, water bottle, etc.)
2. Quality Control that some people have gotten. (I did not have any issues of mis-alilgnments of straps, etc.)
3. Top Flap magnet closure - just not as simple as it looks (Check out Chase Reeves' video on how difficult it was for him to close the flap)
4. Thicker grab handles on the top and sides of the bag.
Those are just a few of my gripes since using this bag everyday since I received it and I really do like the quality and storage options but just know that you will have to make some compromises if you do decide to give this bag a try. Hope this helps anyone out there thinking about buying it.
Thanks for dropping your thoughts here BobaFeet1138! All solid comments. For your #3, we cover that at 8:36 🙂
- Tom
Tom, Great content as always 👍
I have this bag but didn’t buy the camera bag insert or the top bucket insert. Instead I used what I had already and it works like a charm, making the bag LESS ridgid so opens and closes like a charm .. absolutely thrilled with it
Hey Spitz Spitz - that's great that you were able to adapt this pack so that it works best for you! Thanks for watching. 👍
- Rebecca
Thank You!!!
I'm considering getting this pack despite peoples feelings about the company. Only reason is because at a good price point I feel the company deserves a fair chance since i have never personally had a bad or any experience with them. With that said I'm hesitant after seeing the issue with the top flap not closing easily like a magnetic closure should. You guys were the only review I seen that pointed that out and did a great job of showing it.
We try cover as much detail as we can vboy720 and glad it was helpful - if you grab it, let us know how it goes!
- Tom
I own the bag and can confirm closing the top closure via magnet is not as smooth as it sounds. Aiming is hard and if it does locked, it's very easily unbuckled unintentionally. Still overall it's an awesome bag. But as a Kickstarter backer I do feel salty with the company.
Vincent G. Phang thanks for the input. Looks like I'll wait for the next version to see if it's improved.
Thoughts on this bag with the upper camera insert vs peak design 30l v1? My edc is a laptop, notebook, dslr, two small primes, a lunch, gym clothes and shoes
Cool! Thanks for sharing! 💯
Thanks for watching Nine Fruits Of The Spirit 👍

Oh! I love the design and your review but the other comments stress myself. I m Searching a day bag for working, Classic with computer and stuff... what do you thing? Nice for me? You know some other bag looking like this one?
Thanks a lot for your video !
Hey Nicholas! The Topo Designs Daypack and Tortuga Setout Laptop Backpack kinda serve the same function and are the same size from what we've reviewed:

Hope this helps!

Love the look of the bag in tan, and many of the features, however I'm buying for a tertiary student so top-access is paramount. Would the semi-circular pocket be big enough to house over-ear headphones, and does it block access to the main compartment when you use the top access? Can it be opened if using top access?
A reliable review. I've been using the Errant for more than 5 months now and can confirm most of the points. The top access is really slow, and the sternum straps can be lost if they are not properly attached, which is not the case in the video. The convex side of the metal part needs to face inward, still it may happen that it changes position and you don't notice it and then the thing may fall out. It's sometimes a tad awkward to close the upper lid using the magnetic buttons only, but it works fine most of the time with some practice. The quality of materials is really great and it's the best edc pack I've ever used.
Hey Urevix - thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you've been able to make this pack work well for you and that you're enjoying using it as an EDC too. 🙌😊👍
- Rebecca
When are you releasing your review for the Prima System? I trust your reviews and outlook on great bags
Hey Carl - we have no plans to review the Prima System Modular Travel Backpack in the immediate pipeline, but you can check out our initial thoughts here packhacker.com/travel-gear/boundary-supply/prima-system-modular-travel-backpack/ 😊
- Rebecca
Oh that’s shame but in the video at around 12:20.Tom states he has been testing the Prima System. Would love to see his video on that.
If you don't use the camera insert, the velcro sleeve on the lid is a great place to store the hip belt and the sternum strap when not using. I put it in a small, flat bag so nothing slips out.
Also, there is a small DIY community on the Boundary Errant Backers Facebook page who are using Fidlock magnets to build their own snap-in accessories, key fobs, and other attachments.
Nice tips Jeff - dig it!
- Tom
I received mine yesterday, It's an okay bag I wouldn't recommend it over other bags though unless you just really love the look
Thanks for your take Bamaloo, all the best,
- Nathan
what bag would you recommend ?
Great job Tom. Are you guys still planning on doing a separate review for the Prima System?
Hey Jeff - we decided to review the Errant first since it's a recent pack but may also review the Prima System soon!
- Tom
@@PackHacker Yes Tom that is great to hear!
Could you do a video for all the accessories that can be costumized for this bag like what you did with the peak designs travel bag?
Hey Master Jimin - we have no plans to do this in the immediate pipeline, but stay tuned for lots of exciting stuff coming soon! 👍👍👍
- Rebecca
Thank you for the review. I just got accepted into graduate school and am looking for a backpack for school. Do you think this would work?
Hey Tim, first of all - congratulations! And second, this pack is a pretty good size as a school backpack, so it should work.
- Nathan
Great review.
Glad it was helpful for you Hootymae
- Tom
Hey, thanks for the review! What is the right-most backpack on the second row (down - up) on the wall behind you?
Hey Angel - it's actually not a backpack, it's the Peak Design Large Camera Cube that's designed to go inside the Peak Design Travel Backpack. Check out this link for more information:
packhacker.com/travel-gear/peak-design/camera-cubes/
- Rebecca
thanks
I was pretty disappointed when I received mine. The Errant demos well with all the features, but the low price point is ap-errant (har har har) when you actually get your hands on the bag. Seems like they dumped all their budget into features that are pretty hit or miss, and had to cut some corners when it comes to the core functionality of the bag. For example, the absurdly stiff Jansport-style straps. They'll break in over time, but I'm not exactly excited about deterioration as a feature. Day to day use of the bag also frustrated me due to how annoying it was getting in and out of the main pockets, everything is very rigid (zippers, liners around the ridge of the openings, etc) and there's not much stretch to the main compartment to accept large or oddly sized items.
It's sad in a way, because there's some solid ideas in there buried below the extra features. The vertical commuter pocket is very handy, the key clips is a welcome feature, and the side handle is a welcome addition. These guys have good ideas, but they clearly optimized for the Kickstarter campaign/feature-list-appeal rather than the delivery & day to day use of the bag.
Nice pun Connor 🙂 - and agree the access could be much better & quicker. Thanks for dropping your thoughts here.
- Tom
In fact, they have great ideas. But I don't believe in the product anymore. Too often already the date has been postponed about availability. That reminds me of "Arsenal Smart Camera Assitant". I had ordered it and waited over a year for it :-( And then it didn't work as expected. Marketing you can all really great... but then? I think the Compagnon Explorer + is now very good. And maybe even Shimoda Back Pack 40L
Reading a lot on YT about the pockets eating into space if they're used. I thought that would be expected insofar as they're simply options to configure the space you have. I get that some bags can 'distort', but presumably that's what the AUX and the 6L extensions are for. Anyway, my question is whether the Peak Designs Everyday has the same issue of its organisation options eating into the space rather than expanding. I heard the AEL222 recommended elsewhere, have you reviewed that?
This looks like a super nice bag. I'm trying to look for a daily bag, but something thats mostly capable of holding a mirrorless camera with 1 or 2 lenses and a 12.9" iPad pro. Would you have any better suggestions than this bag??
May I know the gray item on the right pocket at 10:56 please? Is that a keyboard?
Hey Ryan! It's called a 'teenage engineering OP-Z' it lets you create some beats on the road. Thanks for watching!
- Rebecca
There's some give and take. People want ease of access but also security when traveling. Personal preference, but I prefer the latter.
Very curious about the dark grey bag right behind you in this video. What bag is that? Have you done a review of it?
Would the Peak Design camera clips fit on the straps of this backpack?
Hey Taylor - it seems as if the camera clip should attach to the shoulder straps of this pack, but we don't actually have the Peak Design Camera Clip to test it out, so we can't verify this 100%.
- Rebecca
Can a 15.6'' pc fit on the laptop compartment? Together with their camera cube/insert?
Hey Alvin! This should fit, but it does depend on the thickness of your laptop, so we cannot verify 100%. Hope this helps! 😊
- Rebecca
What is the packing cube used in this video? And after putting that cube in the main compartment wats there any room left at the top?
Hey Cameron - that's the Small Peak Design Packing Cube and there's only a little space left in the main compartment. Hope this helps! 👍
- Rebecca
Any chance you will review the Dayfarer backpack? Both look and size very similar, curious how the two compare.
Hey W360, it's not in our current plans but it's something we may look into later on. All the best and thanks for watching,
- Nathan
Hey any chance of reviewing some Gossamer Gear packs? Esp. The Vagabond!
Hey Graeme - we have no plans to review this in the immediate future. Thanks for watching! 👍
- Rebecca
Hello Packhacker, at 9:45 we can see that you found the perfect packing cube to fit in the middle of the bag. Which one is it? Thanks!
Hey MartialCast - that's the small Peak Design Packing Cube packhacker.com/travel-gear/peak-design/packing-cubes/ 👍
- Rebecca
@@PackHacker Thanks!
Really good video thx
You got it! 😊
- Rebecca
Hi there, how is this for wearing while riding a motorcycle, commuting, not high speed. Thx
Hey sqd8r - we currently don't have any experience testing the Boundary Supply The Errant Pack while riding a motorcycle, so we're unable to verify how well this works. However, this does have a hip belt and while it doesn't do a great job at weight distribution, it will keep this pack secured against your back. Hope this helps! 👍
- Rebecca
Is it suitable to fit a GI, juijitsu attire, and a laptop?
What size peak design packing cube were you using in this video? (9:49) Would you recommend this for this pack or Boundary's "PK-1" collapsible packing cube?
So I just got mine and have been using it for maybe a couple of weeks, but I notice the ballistic material on the opening flap and towards the bottom of the bag is starting to peel. Is there any way to prevent this? It feels like it will just get worse. Which is a shame because I love this bag.
I really regret exchanging my Slate Blue for the Obsidian Black color. Blue looks best imo.
Were you able to verify that it’s 24L? I found it to be lacking on space, and it’s not that expandable.
Hey jmgajitos - agree with you that the blue version is slick! (at least online, we haven't been able to see it in person).
Boundary has 24L listed on their site. There are methods to testing exact liter space but we do not have the equipment yet. As for the expandability - agreed - the toploader doesn't expand compared to something like the Peak Design Mag Latch on the Everyday Backpacks.
- Tom
I like it in all the colors, but the blue is my favorite. I was worried it would turn out a little too bright for my tastes, but I like the look a lot.
Hey Tom, I’m actually on a family trip right now with the Errant. It was my family pack carry on and my EDC for a Caribbean trip.
When I get back to NYC and Duster Buster the sand out it will be my EDC for running my tech company,
Really an excellent bag
Nice Jeff! Glad you're digging it 🙂
- Tom
You said the customer service was spotty but I completely dis agree i have been emailing Tyler over at boundary because the bag I ordered wouldn’t be in stock for about a month and I really wanted to have something for my upcoming work trip and he allowed me to change my order (witch ended up costing more) but he didn’t ask me to pay the difference and he even overnighted everything to me like I honestly have never had better customer service!!
GO BOUNDARY🤘🤪

It looks good but the unreliability of the company is a huge turn off. I love the look, but feel like they put a couple to many features and pockets on the bag.
Thanks for dropping your thoughts here dude.
- Tom
I think this bag could work for a lot of people, but it requires you to really think about how you're going to pack it. A little more volume and it would be so much better. I'm returning mine because my large 15.6" laptop is ever so slightly too big to get the clamshell zippers around the corners.
Customer service is extremely poor, especially if you live outside of the US. If you do - YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. They don’t stand behind their products
Great review, any idea about a good pocket for a Concealed Carry? Or any recommendations about a pack that has a good one?
Could you do the Prima system please?!
Hey Aditya - we currently have no plans to review the Boundary Supply Prima System in the immediate pipeline, but you can check out our initial thoughts here packhacker.com/travel-gear/boundary-supply/prima-system-modular-travel-backpack/ 👍

I'm a fan on this backpack, wouldn't consider this for a trip but I use it for my edc. Everything fits nicely but it does seem a bit small for the listed size. Biggest complaint is the sternum strap! Lost it multiple times already. The top access gets easier to open and close as I get more time with it. Great video!
Thanks for posting your experience here goodolecowboy13!
- Tom
@@PackHacker Thanks for doing what you guys do! And at the high quality you do it at! It's a great help for us!
Hi, can I just ask where did you buy you passport/card holder??? it's cooOOOooLLL
I sent a backpack and photo bag back in December 2019 because the backpack is really a misconstruction, never heard from the company again. Really good service. Let's be honest, there are so many backpacks on the market that are simply better. In my opinion, Boundary is not even in the top 100.
Sternum straps definitely are not secure. Lost mine on day three. Contacted boundary supply and they said they were sending me a new one 3 weeks ago. Still waiting.
Best of luck getting your replacements! Thanks for watching.
- Nathan
i think the luggage pass thru is meant to be when the bag is on its side? those strap keepers don't seem secure to be attached to a luggage
In testing, it's more secure than we initially thought it would be.
- Tom
Tom had it right in the video. Several of us confirmed this with Boundary when we got our packs.

I'm torn betwee this and the xpac version. The black xpac looks better to me, but the price is just out of my budget. I'd consider the kodra but 🤷♂️
Let us know which pack you decide on, Jickob! 😊

Velcro pocket on the harness system is for store back strap
Huh - seems like quite a large pocket for a strap so small! Thanks for following up Chawin007.
- Tom
@@PackHacker th-cam.com/video/HkRPg3hj6w8/w-d-xo.html , Yes, it's quite large for the strap. But I think it is suitable to keep the straps smooth and flat No need to roll thick

@packhacker have you reviewed prvke
Hey Jonathan, we sure have. You can check out our full review on the WANDRD PRVKE here: packhacker.com/travel-gear/wandrd/prvke/

The velcro pocket is not an "actual pocket" it's meant to store the accessory strap to lock in the shoulder straps or use as a luggage pass-through...

make a video on the dayfarer backpack
Hey Alan - the Dayfarer backpack is not in our immediate pipeline and we don't plan to review it to be honest.
- Tom
Has anyone used this as a daily school backpack? Thoughts?
It'd likely work pretty well, but may be a little slim if you're carrying around a lot of books or binders.
- Tom
Pack Hacker thanks so much for the reply! Love your channel!
Does this come in 40l
Hey Zst Nn - this pack does not come in 40L, but the Boundary Supply Prima System Modular Travel Backpack expands from 25L to 35L. Hope this helps! 👍
- Rebecca
@@PackHacker thank you
You got it, Zst Nn! 😊👍
- Rebecca
advertised as 24L but it really isnt, it feels much like a 18L bag and even my TAD AXIOM 18 packs more than this.
Hey Wei! Recognize you from TPP 🙂- The Errant does feel quite small. Interesting to hear the AXIOM can pack more for ya.
- Tom
I feel like it really depends what you pack. The pocketing system of the Errant shares the space with multiple pockets. For example if you use the PK2 accessory, most people will start saying that the water bottle pocket on the outside is now useless as most use traditional round water bottles. I combatted this by using a flat water bottle from Memobottle which works just fine.
@pack hacker have you been able to use the farer dayfarer pack? can the errant fit more than the dayfarer?
Available is quite a bit of an overstatement 😂
Hey Piotr Zolnierek - did you pre-order? If so, have you got yours?
- Rebecca
Yup, preorder back in November... still didn't get the back, but got some of the accessories... One of them is defective... waiting 4 weeks now for Boundary how to return it... just got canned messages ...
Thanks for letting us know Piotr - that's awful to hear.
- Tom
Have it.Love it 👍🏼
Nice Jeff!

Those shoes were legitimately ok in the snow?
Hey Paul, they actually perform surprisingly well. Thanks for watching!
- Nathan
I don't think the velcro pocket is meant for anything but the strap that is attached right next to it.
Hey Russell - thanks - it's quite a large pocket for that small of a strap but it does do a good job at storing it and makes sense!
- Tom
You forgot to mentioned the's shoes compartment
You sure Wesley? 7:51 😏
- Tom
like in life you have to choose the shoe compartment or regular space in the backpack.
@@LicioFonseca Whatever works best for you!
-Hannah
have the bag, it's awesome and really good. unfortunately the issue with the company is true. also not mentioned here is the 17" issue and tax refund issue.
Hey Vincent! We were sure to add the 15" laptop compartment size to the stats on our full written review here. Bummer there was a swap in this during production: packhacker.com/travel-gear/boundary-supply/the-errant-pack/
- Tom
Also, if you look at pictures and videos of some 15" laptops that fit, the laptop corners are putting constant tension on the zipper. They really needed to give more clearance in that area
This tom has a kind face
What was that wallet?
Hi Safal! That's the Bellroy Passport Sleeve. I'll drop a link below. Thanks for the comment!

Hi, thanks for the review. Lots of good points in there.
After a few weeks in 2023 of owning the Errant Pack and several accessories, My comments are below. I am a bit dismayed that the review doesnt address the overall quality of parts of the pack, specifically the hypalon back, the laser cut hypalon portion on the straps, as well as the durability of the accessories. Those would be useful to know, not just how the bag looks at first glance.
- The quality of the construction is GARBAGE. The laser cuts on the straps unravel, the hypalon on the back panel and on the Aux compartment crack and peel, despite zero abuse. The zipper pulls start to disintegrate very fast.
- The straps are very rigid and for me uncomfortable. They seem to work for some people, perhaps due to body type.
- The look is very nice, and I enjoy the utility. Sadly the bag deteriorates so fast that it mars the overall look.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

BrittanyReviews stole this video and uploaded a couple days ago
Hey Mitchell - thanks for letting us know, we really appreciate it! 👍 We're checking it out 😊

There’s a massive luggage pass through on the back - turn the bag 90 degrees and slide the luggage handle behind the padding.
Hi Tim - although it looks that way, there is not. The two openings you're seeing are pockets and not a pass-through.
- Tom
Pack Hacker wow - honestly I would have sworn I’ve seen reviews suggesting there was. But I’ve been looking at so many packs I guess I got it wrong. Thanks for the great overview of the pack! My x-pac version is on the way.
@@dothetontim Happy to help out! Let us know how the pack goes! 👌

The original kick starter add stated it would fit most 17" laptops. Do not believe this. Wont even fit my 15.6.
They've updated it to 15" now, but yes, not great for anyone who ordered it expecting it to fit a 17"! Thanks for watching Robert, all the best,
- Nathan
@@PackHacker very frustrating. I actually usually use 17-18" laptops for work. And after backing this bag. I downsized my laptop for a 15.6 so it would fit this bag. And yet even a 15.6 wont even fit.
Oh wow, that's a killer! So sorry to hear this Robert, what a pain.

Bag looks good but BS is having lots of QC issues as well as bad support to the costumers/backers.
I will stay away from this company!
Thanks for dropping your thoughts here Eukicos - there's room for improvement for sure.
- Tom
After 1 year usage it's a great backbag with some flaws imho:
1) The small straps to open the backbag on various clasps started to fall off and break after just a few month.
2) Most disappointing thing are the accessories like the aux compartment, which is just faulty design and doesn't hold properly at the top, since the wrong mounts were used. It makes it useless for everyone, since you can't trust it will hold while you hike or have so run a bit faster. So I don't recommend anyone to buy it, since it's also very pricy and not well thought through.
The Errant is an over-engineerd pack in my opinion. Never buying anything from them anymore with all of the BS they've been pulling. Arrogant, dismissive attitude towards customers is not cool.
👍👍
- Tom
Amen
I can relate to that. Especially about their attitude. Just watch Cavin and Brandon, the 2 guys behind Boundary. In all their videos they have a very aggressive look and tone, I feel like they would punch me in the face if I didn't buy their product. I've been in touch with their Customer Service and the feeling is the same. They have been helpful though, but not the friendliest bunch.

Great bag.
Trash company.
We'd like to see a little more since it's now Boundary's second time doing Kickstarter. Great price for a solid bag though.
- Tom
Very poor workmanship, very poorly thought out and extremely bad service from the company
Fair enough Daniel, we know you're not alone in thinking this - thanks for sharing,

Horrible service from Boundary.
