Hi Rob:

I send u a photo in the Kathmandu Airport (with my son and our guide), waiting our flight to Pokhara, where we started the Jomsom Trail (Sep-2009)

First test, was ok, the rucksacks worked great,    Madrid-Doha-Kathmandu-Pokhara-Jomsom and back Pokhara - Kathmandu-Doha-Madrid. 7 flights and none problem at all.

Hi Rob,
I'm just writing to give you some quick feedback on the bag. I've been busy since returning from my trip so I kept forgetting to reply earlier.
The bag was great. I could see by the scratches in the material that it took some abuse from the luggage handling system but it held up well. As a wilderness hiker weight is always an issue for me so if I had a wish list for a bag like this I'd like it to be as light as possible while still remaining tough enough to take the abuse from baggage handling machinery.

I might be in touch sometime during the winter because I'd like to buy a smaller one to hold a 45 litre rucksack which I use for ski touring.

Regards

Alastair

Hi there Rob,
Just used our rucksack protectors for the first time on a camping
holiday in Switzerland. They're the bees knees and came in handy to
sit on too while waiting for the Jet2.com check-in desk to open at
Geneva Airport on the way home.
Many thanks,
Gordon Booth

PS I forgot to tell you, the free wallet you sent me for ordering two rucksack protectors proved very useful on our trip to Switzerland. I anchored it by it's cord to the inside pocket of my jacket for safety. Though quite compact it held all my travel documents, insurance, passport and money. My partner was so intrigued with it that she wants one too - so I've just ordered another one through your website.

Hello

I purchased your smallest rucksac cover in order to convey rucksac and walking poles safely to holiday in Austria.

It worked beautifully. Everything arrived intact including the walking poles strapped in position on the rucksack.

Just a small point for product development. I used the cover as a liner when I was actually backpacking around as you suggest. That worked too but the orange paint/print of the product name flaked off with the friction inside the rucksack and tiny orange flakes got everywhere. There's almost nothing left of the writing on the cover so the promotional value is probably outweighed by the nuisance factor.

I am, however, a very satisfied customer and will recommend this to any of my friends who want to take their rucksacks on the plane.

All the best

Dear Rob,

If the quality of the largest size is anything like the middle one which I bought for my son years ago, I am sure I'll be delighted.

Hi Rob,

Just to say the rucksack protector worked really well. No problems with the airline and check-in.

Hi Rob
 
Happy New Year to you too.
 
Back in August my daughters went on a trek in the mountains of Poland and they took their new rucksack protectors which they found to be excellent. When not protecting the rucksack they were very useful for storing items that were not needed during the trek. The rucksack protectors created a lot of interest and hopefully created business for you.
 
Thank you again for your excellent service

Hi!
I got the Pro-tector from you back in September for my 15 week South
East Asia trip. It's great! Has kept my rucksack in good condition and
of course it keeps all the loose belts out of the way. It's also
perfect for storing the extra luggage I don't need when I go trekking
in the mountains. I can leave it at the hotel and collect it when I
return.
I am in Davao, in the Philippines right now. I trekked in Mount Apo
the last few days of 2008.
Thanks and happy new year to you

Hi there Rob,
 I have just returned from my travels, and thought I would feedback that your product is absolutley brilliant. I was so happy with its ease of use, durability and the security it provided. I really had piece of mind putting my backpack on the plane, knowing all the bits an pieces on the outside of my bag would be safe. 
 Kind regards,

Thank you for the Wallet just want I wanted, and to be honest couldnt find one as good as yours any where else.

I had one before made by Design GO, with the Belt chain, but they do not market this type any more.

Felt safe where ever I went, money credit and debit cards all attached to me, but easy to use when taken out of the pocket. 

Comes in handy also for protecting your pin Nos at ATM or Checkouts from hidden cameras.

 

All the Best

Rob, 

You wanted feedback on the Pro-tector.

I found it very easy to use and it worked a treat.  My rucksack has a large number of straps and buckles so just the thing to get caught in the baggage handling process.  Your product solved the problem.

Rob,
 
Sarah and I have just returned from our epic nine month adventure which took us through Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. Its safe to say that we really put our Rucksack Pro-tector's to the test as they've been to -19 and +50 and taken on every mode of transport going, whether stored in a hold or roped to the roof of a 4x4 in the desert. I can say without a doubt that the Rucksack Pro-tector's did a fantastic job of keeping our bags clean and looking like new. The other members of our team and those we met along the way were very impressed, and judging how dirty their bags got, I think they all wanted one!.
 Thanks to your product we were able to relax more knowing that people who may of wanted to explore the contents of our bags, were unable to.
 After a month though the company name / website on the side of the bags began to wear off and it wasnt long before it was completely gone. Is there a way of stitching the name on the handle or on the bag without weakening it. We also found as we came towards the end of the trip that the metal rings began to fall apart. However this did not stop the bags from working. 
 
All in all we found your bags extremely useful and we have and will continue to recommend them to anyone else travelling with a rucksack.
All the best,
Rob Simpson

I got one of your bags for Brazil last year and it was useful except for this-

the outer handle was'nt long enough to sling the whole thing over ones shoulder running for the bus etc

Other than that- BRILLIANT.

hope all is well and keep it up

Hey Rob,

i bought two Rucksack Pro-Tectors for myself and my girlfriend a few weeks back. we're going travelling for 12 months soon. i bought the middle sized one, the 'backpacker'  it's called. my 70+10 rucksack fits in easily when full.

We tried out the Pro-tectors on a recent holiday. they worked perfectly. they're really robust. they will stand up to a fair bit of punishment. we got through the airport no problem with them, both going out and coming back. the rucksacks came out perfectly every time. it takes no time to put the rucksack in or take it out. the beauty of it though is the way it folds down pretty small meaning it can be packed away easily when you don't need it.

we also used the Pro-tector wallet. it's really handy. all your cards and passports will fit in and i used the lanyard to tie the wallet to a loop on the inside of my day pack. it makes it more difficult for some lad to steal it when it's tied onto the bag!!

in summary, go buy a rucksack pro-tector and a wallet!

Dear Rob,

Just a very quick e-mail to say many thanks for the Globetrotter Rucksac Protector.  What fantastic service - the Postman carded us to say that he had attempted to deliver it

on Tuesday(!), although only managed to get to the sorting office today to pick it up.  Looks great - will take your advice & source an appropriate long shanked padlock.

Many thanks again.

Kind regards,

Rob,
Thanks for sending my order so swiftly and I confirm safe receipt.

The goods arrived this morning and seem to be exactly what I require and I am very happy with them.I bought a Go-Lite pack about 7 years ago which is not lockable owing to the roll-top closure and I have been looking around for a lockable holdall or duffle without success for a few years now (for use on buses, trains, planes etc), without success, particularly in the 40-50 litre sizes and also in a light weight and packable form when walking.What you have designed seems to fit the bill perfectly (although untried as yet in the field). I will road test it when I go walking/backpacking in Crete/Karpathos late September.Also the wallet and waist belt seem ideal. Obviously designed by somebody who has travelled and knows the pitfalls.I found your company through the Wasdaleweb internet site. I was at Langdale and Wasdale about 6 weeks ago, camping at both places and had a wonderful time.Also I like the idea of putting something back into Nepal. I was there last November and was on the trail when the Maoists declared their truce with the government and found out after I had already paid the "fine". I enjoyed it very much and the people are fantastic and deserving of all the help they can get. I did not hear one Nepalese person complain or whine in the 3 weeks I was there. A lesson to us all.I wish you every success in your ventures.Allan Harding

Hi Rob 

Dear Rob,

Rob,

Thank you for quick processing of the pro-tectors that I ordered. I brought them into immediate use for covering my very rough and prickly backpack to Iceland and next on a very rough travel to Tajikistan. The “Backpacker” functioned superbly for my needs and did not show any signs of wear. So I took it along to Humla, Nepal’s most remote district. While on an expedition into the remote Limi valley in Humla, all my valuables were packed into the pro-tector wallet that performed extremely well for its little size and simplicity. It is on stand-by for the next rough trip. And the “Backpacker” bag? It took a lot of beating during these months of rough travels, and on the oddest of airlines, but is still with me, intact, and now after a good washing to get the dust of Western Nepal and air transit grease off, ready to go on the next trip. Probably Nepal again – the original home of the pro-tector, wasn’t it? Would be fun to meet up there and talk sports gear.

All the best,
Olav

Dear Rob,

Thanks twice over.

Firstly the immediate delivery.

Secondly the excellent "Pro-tector" itself. We used the valuables protector waistbelts all the time in Morocco. Comfortable, plenty of compartments, key elastic, very secure, just great. Two solid days in the Souks of Marrakech and no worries at all about our valuables.

Thanks again,

Jon and Sarah.

Hi Rob

Got back yesterday, late our flight went through Heathrow so was cancelled. Pro-tector worked really well, most people in our group used some form of protection for their bags, but we did see people who didn't and I'm glad I did. Would recommend it to anyone.

Hi Rob,

I've received my pro-Tector today.

I've just taken a quick look and it seems to be really well-built and bomb-proof, if I can say so! I'm sure that I won't be disappointed with it: I'll write You back with my feedback but I will also try to advertise it with friends and people I now. Last but not least, let me tell You it has been a real pleasure to deal with You.

Hi Rob,Just arrived from an inter-island trip and I am pleased to report that my backpack and the pro-tector survived the flight and bus trip.  I regret not having taken a picture of the sack as it appeared on the baggage carousel...  The others on the same flight who had backpacks checked in had theirs ending up not really damaged, but dirty. I found a nice little padlock with a short cable, as you suggested.  Works perfect.  I can even discard the cord.
