Description

Käydä Travel Backpack 44L

Our award-winning Käydä is the most versatile backpack to support you on any adventure. The multifunctional backpack is also an intuitive travel system, making the idea of one bag travel a complete reality. The spacious, 44L main compartment makes packing up your clothing, boots, goggles, and other adventure gear a breeze.

Instantly enhance your carry-on game, as the Käydä is designed to fit in the overhead bin of nearly all US and international airlines. Plus, it converts into a carry-on ski and snowboard travel boot bag, so you can keep your snow sport essentials with you at all times and leave your worries of lost luggage in the past. Or, for the non-snow travelers, utilize this bag for weekend getaways, hiking trips, and European adventures, as the features will surely get you to your final destination with maximum efficiency.

The spacious Travel Backpack is loaded with pockets for every purpose, including passport/wallet security pockets, protective laptop sleeve, an external dual-purpose helmet/jacket sling, luggage pass-through straps, and a magnetic water bottle holder. Not to mention the comfort factor, as the Ergonomic Back panel Carry Design, Breathable Comfort Contoured Shoulder Straps, and Detachable Waist Belt make trekking through the airport a breeze.

But the real magic happens when you detach the Käydä Travel System. In seconds, the system separates into two ample storage bags, the main Travel Backpack and the separate Travel Kit, so you can prioritize organization and security for all your essentials - from a tablet and backup battery to books, cords, snacks, keys, and pens. Plus, the Travel Kit is cleverly designed for use with the Käydä Cross-body Sling, sold separately.

Elevate your travel experience even more by adding in the Kaamos Boot Packing Cube, the ultimate solution for keeping ski and snowboard boots organized, protected, and clean. The medium cube fits perfectly within the Käydä 44L, so just place it into your bag, and prepare for organization overload.

General Use

The Käydä is designed and manufactured to function as a carry-on backpack. Although we cannot guarantee that every airline will for every airplane permit it to be carried-on, we have gone to great lengths to meet as many airline carry-on requirements as possible.

Helmet Sling

How to Use: Remove the sling from its zippered pocket located on the front of the bag and attach it to the two surface mounted buckles on the top of the bag. Slide the helmet into the sling with the front of the helmet pointing downwards. Adjust the helmet sling straps to secure the helmet against the bag. Do not use the Helmet Sling with airline baggage check carriage.

Airline Baggage Check Precautions:

  • If it becomes necessary to airline baggage check the Travel Backpack, do not leave the Travel Kit attached, do not use the Helmet Sling and detach the Waist Belt and store it within the Travel Backpack.
  • Do not leave straps hanging from the bag when placing it with airline baggage check.
  • Do not use helmet slings with airline baggage check carriage.
  • If the bag includes Stow-Away Straps, ensure the straps are fully tucked-away.

Precautions

Cleaning: Kulkea bags may be cleaned by hand as needed with warm soapy water and followed by air drying in a warm, dry environment. Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solutions. Do not machine wash or dry.

Storage: Kulkea bags should be stored in a warm, dry environment free of mold and mildew.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 8 reviews.

Without a doubt the best backpack I've ever owned. I've used it both as a boot bag and as a travel pack and it's excelled at both. Very roomy central pocket that fits my ski boots perfectly or enough clothes to last for a week. Separate compartment that can be accessed in two ways that fits my laptop plus other flat things like books. I bought the pack that attaches to the top, very handy for stuff that requires quick access during a trip (passports, wallet, spare battery pack, charging cords, etc.). The thoughtfulness of the design shines through in so many details and in the quality of construction. Can't say enough good things. Well worth the money.

Käydä® Travel Backpack

Very impressed with quality of this pack, and all of the thought that went into the design (helmet strap, soft area for googles, sunglass, etc.) I ordered one for myself to check the size and will get one for my wife as well for our upcoming ski trip overseas. I can see this being used for non-ski travel as well. Very nice!

Käydä® Travel Backpack

Blown away by the quality. Amazing features like the detachable bit for electronics. You could probably even get this thing under the seat with small boots. From a lifelong Dakine user, I have been converted.

Käydä® Travel Backpack

Arrived exactly as I hoped. This bag will be a very nice addition to my travel quiver. Boots now fit in a carry on bag/ and will still have room for “other stuff”. This bag is very nice looking, but will really function nicely on my trips. All I will take now is ski bag and this Kayda. Done.

Käydä® Travel Backpack

The Kayda fits perfectly above overhead storage compartments in airplanes. I am able to easily fit 6-7 days worth of clothing, toiletries, etc. Lightweight and durable. Perfect for day and weekend trips as well as longer vacations!

Käydä® Travel Backpack

Is there anything KULKEA didn't think of?! I traveled for several weeks across Colombia and was so grateful for this modular, mega space saving pack! Water bottle pockets for running through tight layovers, zippers for expansion and my favorite- the media "crown" on top! The detachable bag can hold your mac book, ipad or both! It has been extremely useful traveling to presentations and staying organized. This may be the most versatile bag I have ever used. Highly recommend this bag to anyone!!!

Käydä® Travel Backpack

Organization: 2 Main compartments 1 Detachable sling for tech and travel documents 1 Phone or sunglasses microfiber compartment 1 laptop and tablet slot 1 secret secure slot for money or documents 1 retractable helmet/jacket sling The one large main compartment is massive and can store snow/ski boots to clothing for multiple days. There isn’t much organization in this compartment but that’s okay as it is designed to be able to absorb any and everything. Should be comfortable for a 4 to 5 day work trip (without boots of course). The smaller front compartment is useful for accessories such as gloves, hats, scarves, or even documents. I throw some smaller camera accessories here as well for easy access. Mini-tripod, cables, selfie stick. The detachable sling is a game changer for air travel. Once on the plane the backpack goes in the overhead and the sling comes with me to the seat. I then have all of the essentials such as power bank, charging, cables, passport, airpods, etc with me. (Good spot toss the phone into for airport security as well). The laptop slot is situated on the back of the pack so keeps the weight close to my center of mass. This helps to prevent back pain. The padding is sufficient that I haven’t felt the shape of the laptop on my back. In conclusion, it is comfortable. There is an additional small zippered slot on the back of the backpack. This will fit a passport, tickets, and some cash. Good spot that is difficult for pickpockets to get at. Retractable helmet/jacket sling. Great contraption for when you are heading to the slopes or just get too hot when hauling through the airport. Build Quality: Ballistic Nylon! Water resistant zippers Everything on this feels rugged and should last a longtime. (hopefully a lifetime) The zippers are really sturdy weather sealed. It should be safe to take this out during wet weather. Areas for Improvement: Laptop Compartment. On some backpacks there is a little sort of hammock built in and the laptop rests on that. This prevents the laptop from contacting the ground if someone drops or places the bag on the ground. Strap length - subjective. The strap length is a little long for everyday use. It doesn’t impact functionality, just aesthetics. I can understand the reason for the long straps though, when worn with a bulky winter coat it is required. Note that I am 5’ 11” and about 150 lbs. Some parts of the interior use a silver-ish material. Some black. The silver is really nice as it makes it very easy to spot anything in the bag.

Käydä® Travel Backpack

This is a sharp looking bag with great capacity and unique features. There are two main storage spots plus a laptop slot and microfiber phone or sunglasses pouch. There is then a unique detachable sling. Organization: 1. I throw all of my electronics and stuff that I want to access quickly in the sling. Once on the plane I can detach the sling and place the backpack in the overhead. 2. This can easily accommodate a 16" MacBook Pro and iPad Pro 12.9" (Nifty document slot in the back as well, can toss the passport and ticket in here) 3. Big main compartment with vents. This is designed for snow boots and to evacuate moisture. However, it also works great for gym clothes. 4. Smaller compartment in the front that you can throw gloves and other accessories. 5. There is a helmet hammock as well which is hidden in the bottom part of the bag. This can be used to carry a bundle of jackets as well. Quality: All of the zippers an material feel very high quality. The zippers are all covered and look like it would prevent rain from intruding into the bag. Comfort: Includes sternum and waist strap so that the bag can be worn optimally. Cons: I wish the Laptop/tablet pouch had dividers and that there was more spacing on the bottom. Some bags I've used before have a sort of hammock in the bottom of the bag for the laptop. This prevents the laptop from hitting the floor when the wearer drops the bag on the ground.
