Review: Crumpler Proud Stash Backpack

by Mhel Ignacio | Apr 1, 2013

I admit, I’m not a light packer when I travel. I’m slightly OC, with a hint of hoarder (hahaha), so I feel like I’ll need everything but the kitchen sink. 😀 I vow to change that though as I‘ve got plans to travel more starting this year, and I think this Crumpler Proud Stash backpack might be the perfect travel companion.

The design may look simple to you, but I don’t fancy complicated patterns on my bag. I’m not into bags as a fashion statement, but I’m sure this Crumpler Proud Stash in Coral will be liked by many of my fellow ladies. My mom liked the color so much that she insisted that she ‘model’ this one for me first before the Crumpler Ludicrous Debacle Messenger Bag. 😀 I prefer this in black though.

A very simple design indeed, but that only means you have more space for things you need to bring. There’s one cargo space inside (with twin gripper zippers) and one big, full-width zippered front pocket. That’s it. Simple, no fuss. I like it! 🙂

We tried placing all sorts of contents in it, from books to my laptop, and I didn’t experience any strains on my shoulders. The fully adjustable harness straps were wide and padded. The weight was well-distributed so I highly recommend this for backpackers, especially because it’s made with water-resistant materials (even the zippers!) and carries Crumpler’s lifetime guarantee.
