Tatonka Barrel M

Why this particular bag?

Bags from the German company Tatonka are very popular among tourists and travelers due to the quality, strength, reliability and durability of the products. Most of all, it will appeal to those who do not just go on a trip, but go on expeditions, hikes and who need to protect their luggage from bad weather in the first place. The second selection criterion in her favor is the capacity of the bag.

Main advantage

The first thing you should pay attention to is the heavy-duty material of the product: this is a combination of Textreme (textrim, a type of polyester) — the bottom, and Tarpaulin 1000 (tarpaulin — polyethylene tarpaulin) — the main fabric. In addition, thanks to a special polyester coating, it is completely resistant to water and dirt. Even if the bag has been exposed to rain, water will not seep through the lock, since it is covered with a cloth. Locks are large and strong. In it, things definitely will not get damp and will not get wet.

Nuances of design and operation

The bottom is with a soft lining. Under the lid there is a large mesh pocket for documents or important papers, trifles. The lid opens wide, making it easy to put things in and take them out. Inside there is only one compartment, but a large one. There are two small end pockets and one more on the lid.

The variety of its transportation

You can carry it as a regular bag in your hands, and over your shoulder (removable shoulder strap available), as well as a backpack. For this, straps-handles are provided (fastened with a carabiner on the other side). When not in use, they tuck into a side pocket. Another interesting detail: there are two additional rubberized handles located near the side pockets — so that it is convenient to carry the bag in front of you, put it in the boot of a car, for example.

A nice bonus: a very wide range of colours (yellow, red, green, bright blue, black, coffee). And although the price bites a little, the model is decent and will last a long time.
