I adore my Errant Pack X-Pac and everything I've purchased from Boundary to work with it. The versatility of this thing is incredible. I use it as a commuter to work, for weekend photography and motorcycling excursions, and on longer-haul travel adventures. And, it's the tiny touches that make all the difference.

In my day-to-day life, I use it as a commuter bag to travel to and from work, making use of both the Boundary Aux Compartment and the Port Kitt. I store my change of clothes in the Aux Compartment and affix it to the anchoring loops on the exterior of the pack for cycling and motorcycling to the office, and store my tech accessories and toiletries in both sides of the Port Kitt. When I arrive at work for my end-of-trip shower, I simply detach the Aux Compartment from the bag and the toiletry side pack of the Port Kitt and hang both on the shower hook in my shower cubicle. It's incredibly convenient. I really appreciate the cleverness of the integrated magnetic and button-based anchors for the Port Kitt internally, and the external alignment of the anchor points for a snug affixing of the Aux Compartment. The reflective 3M anchor points on the exterior of the bags are such a clever little addition, too.

On the weekends, if I'm taking it out for photography excursions, I insert the incredibly clever MK-2 camera cube containing my Fujifilm XS-10, my GoPro Hero 8 and any relevant accessories and lenses. If I need extra storage room, the Aux Compartment comes along for…

I’ve had the Errant X-PAC Backpack (black) for over 3 years now. I’ve tried so many other bags (I’m a self-diagnosed bag addict perpetually in search of the perfect bag). Wandrd, Waterfield, Peak Design, McKinnon, LowePro, Manfrotto, PGYTECH, Brevite, etc. I always come back to this bag. It’s not perfect, but it’s as close as I’ve found.

What I like:

1) Easy top access. The magnetic flap is protective and works great if you want to secure it more, there is a zipper as well. The flap, when latched, covers the front external access pocket too, which adds additional security. Just very well thought out IMO. I keep my Sony A74 in the top of the bag inside a compact camera case. I can quickly access my camera that way. I also keep my tech pouch and DJI Action 2 in the top. For me, this is the best execution of a top access (easy magnetic flap with the additional security of a zipper underneath).

2) Clamshell opening. This makes it easy to access 90% of the interior space of the bag. I keep my DJI Mini 3 Pro in the bottom of the bag in the PGYTECH OneMo Shoulder Bag.

3) The build quality and design. This bag still looks great. I just changed the zipper pulls because I wanted some orange on the outside of the bag. Everything has stood up very well. The storm guard YKK zippers are all still working perfectly. The bag itself is very weather resistant (I have the rain cover, but never use it). I love the matte black look with the understated branding. It doesn’t look like a turtle…
