WHY WE BUILT THE GLOBERIDER45

With global adventure travel, you never know exactly what’s in store. It could be a simple plane ride, or a 3 mile walk across town from the bus depot…in the rain. Dragging a roller bag up a muddy dirt road in Cambodia just doesn’t cut it, but we’ve always liked the clamshell organization they offer. We prefer the carry comfort and capability of hiking packs, but hate the lack of access and organization for travel. 

We built the GlobeRider45 to combine the best of both worlds: The organization of a traditional travel bag with the carry performance and weather resistance of a mountaineering pack. We chose the best materials from the outdoor industry and included stowable straps, sealing zippers, plenty of handles, and external lash points so you can throw it around or tie it down in the harshest conditions. Versatility creates opportunity for adventure — GlobeRider45 was built for exactly that.

Is the GlobeRider45 carry-on size compliant?
The GlobeRider45 is a soft-sided pack that complies to carry-on size requirements for most airlines. Carry-on dimensions vary slightly by airline, which is one of many reasons we prefer a soft-sided pack over hard-exterior luggage. Even when fully packed, the back panel padding has enough give to conform to the luggage measurement apparatus for most airlines, both domestically and internationally.

What size laptop will the laptop pocket accommodate?
The fully padded laptop pocket is easily accessed from the top of the pack. It fits up to 16" laptops from all manufacturers.

What kind of frame or internal suspension does this pack have?
The GlobeRider45 features a backpacking-style internal suspension system. The contoured framesheet, lightweight aluminum framestay, and EVA foam distribute weight from the shoulder straps to the hip belt for superior balance and comfort.

Is the GlobeRider45 waterproof?
The GlobeRider45 is built from waterproof materials and has YKK® sealing zippers on all external pockets. This pack is designed to withstand light to medium precipitation for short periods. Outdoor coatings add further protection by letting water slick off the fabric.

How do the backpack straps and hip belt stow?
The GlobeRider45 backpack straps and hip belt easily stow into the back panel. Fully unzip the back panel zippers on the sides of the pack, clip the shoulder strap to the hip belt using the white arrows, and securely rezip the back panel zippers with the straps tucked neatly underneath. There is a diagram inside the right-side of the back panel for on-the-go instructions.

How big is the water bottle pocket?
The external water bottle pocket can fit the largest of water bottles, including 1-liter bottles and Nalgenes®.

What is the maximum and minimum sizes that the hip belt and sternum strap accommodate?
The waist belt minimum is 27" hip circumference and the waist belt max is 51" hip measurement. The sternum strap can get cinched down to where the shoulder straps are 3.5" apart on the users chest or can be loosened so the shoulder straps are 12.5" apart on the users chest

How long is the warranty?
The GlobeRider45 has a 3 year, Total-Protection-Warranty. GlobeRider45 is built to last—with the highest quality outdoor fabrics, bartack reinforced construction, and strategic patterning that guarantees long-term performance. Equipment in and out of warranty is eligible for free repairs.

GlobeRider45

Used the GlobeRider45 for my recent hiking trip to India

Great features
1. Multiple compartments that are easily accessible, they are spacious and allow me to pack multiple items that i may or may not need.
2. Sleek and simple exterior look that does not scream attention as compared to other brands
3. Lightweight and easy to carry in various modes

Areas i feel that could be improved.
1. Material for the back panel could be improved as mine was pretty frayed after minor friction with other objects or gears such as velcros.

Japan

I was looking near and far for a bag that would be able to carry everything I would need to traverse Japan. I took a gamble on this one and boy I’m sure glad I did. First off c the shoulder and hip straps are life saving. Japan has SO many stairs with the subway/train system. I was flying by passengers carrying luggage and wheeled systems. And there wasn’t always an escalator or elevator available….. I fit WAY more than I needed to bring on a 9 day trip, not needing nearly 2/3 of what I brought. I can’t attest to the carry on, as I just ended up checking it because it was a nonstop flight. There’s a TON of pockets and it always seemed there’s just one more spot I could put something in. Overall, I would recommend this, granted I do believe it is a little spendy, but remember, traveling is an investment, just like any other hobby :)
