The strap to hold the backpack on to a luggage handle is too high so was not usable. I bought a rain cover as offered at the checkout only to find that the bag is waterproof anyway. The chest strap is almost impossible to clip back on whilst wearing the bag.

You cannot really fit more than 2 full cubes in the backpack at anyone time. I purchased the packing cubes (2) and wash bag cube. It could do with a waist strap as well to help spread the load. In the main I am very happy with the bag, it’s roomy, the pockets are useful as is the smart charging point, however these are my observations. I purchased a Sienna 11 bag at the end of May and unfortunately the rewind mechanism for the charging cable was faulty, I contacted Nordace and their fabulous customer services got a replacement bag to me really fast and so I was able to use this on my holidays a couple of weeks later. I would have been happy to pay £60 for a bag with these faults, but I feel it’s slightly defective and not as advertised.
#Mini retractable key holder zip#
(Picture attached) So I have to hold the bottom in order to zip up. Lastly one of the main zips is a bit screwed up at the bottom, like it’s come unstitched slightly. I don’t use those anyway so the bit for it is just a bulky (picture included of how the side bulks out due to the plastic piece inside for the charging) waste of space on the side of the bag that would have been better as an extra pocket for umbrella/water bottle. I don’t see how that’s any different from just keeping the charger in your bag with the cord coming out of a hole. You plug a battery into it, and plug a cord for your phone into it.
The water droplets do not roll off, they soak into the outer fabric. (Included picture where the water drops are still on the leather but not the bag as they have soaked in) The inside doesn’t seem to get wet, but I haven’t been out in the rain with it for extended periods of time so I’m not sure if it would after enough exposure. That being said, there are quite a few things I don’t like about it. Overall I like it, I like the pockets and the design and colour. I’ve gotten SO many compliments on my original Sienna backpacks in the last 2 years- I’m in the airport at least once per week and it’s rare if someone doesn’t ask me where I got it. I imagine that’s because it’s a bit larger, but it doesn’t look as nice/neat. Finally, it just doesn’t hold its shape as well as the Sienna. It also distorts the side and just looks odd. It sticks out and I’m sure will eventually wear through the material. I love the integrated charger system in the Sienna 2, but my power bank (an Anker 20000mAH) does not fit well in the side pocket where the connector is. The Sienna had a perfectly sized pocket inside that and worked great. The other issue, for me, is where to place the power bank. It seems minor, but in a crowded TSA line or at a store, it’s everything. I think it’s a step backward as far as convenience goes. I keep my wallet, passport, and keys inside and with the old pack pack, I could just slip it off one shoulder and access the main compartment, now I can’t.
In order to get anything from one of the interior pockets, I have to put it down and unzip it, while making sure nothing falls out. The number one reason is that it has one zipper instead of two on the main compartment. Some feedback about the Sienna 2 – I’m not wild about it. The quality has been great, they don’t NEED to be replaced- I just travel a lot, they get dirty and are hard to clean. This is the 3rd Nordace Backpack I’ve bought in just over 2 years.
