Turning to the back, the Nimbus 18L packs in more features than you’d expect for its size. From the laptop compartment to the structured back panel, this area is designed for both protection and comfort.
WANDRD also added thoughtful extras like side handles, a hidden pocket, and a luggage pass-through to round it out.
Laptop Compartment
A padded sleeve fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The opening is narrow, but the padding and small false bottom provide decent protection.
Handles & Hidden Pocket
Two sturdy side handles feel great in hand. A hidden back panel pocket exists, but it’s so tight that it’s only good for very slim items.
Luggage Pass-Through
Slides neatly onto rolling luggage and holds its position without being too loose or too tight.
Comfort
This is where the Nimbus shines. The back panel has dense padding, a structured insert, and ventilation cuts that keep air flowing. Straps are contoured, slightly firm, but still comfortable.
The inclusion of load lifters is unusual for a bag this size. They aren’t strictly necessary, but they do add adjustability, and let’s be real, clipping them in just feels satisfying.
A sternum strap helps redistribute weight, though adjusting it requires unclipping. WANDRD also includes dangle stoppers, keeping straps neat and tidy.
