💡 Pro-Packing & Usage Tips for the GOMBAC:
-
Briefcase to Backpack Transition: Tuck the shoulder straps into their dedicated storage sleeve when carrying the bag by its side handle for a clean, professional briefcase look in meetings.
-
Weight Distribution: Keep your laptop flat against the back panel (closest to your spine) when wearing it as a backpack to ensure optimal posture and comfort.
-
Streamlined Profile: Because of its structured panel design, packing flat items (folders, books, chargers) side-by-side will keep the bag slim and prevent unsightly bulging.

The Tough Traveler Story
In 1970, Mark Goldstein—an avid outdoorsman and military veteran—couldn't find a backpack that matched the durability of his military-issued gear or the comfort he needed for long treks. So he designed his own.
Working from his Schenectady apartment, Mark hand-sewed backpacks with tough materials and innovative designs. When fellow outdoorsmen saw his work, they wanted their own. Tough Traveler was born.
More than 50 years later, we're still family-operated and still manufacturing every bag in that same Schenectady community. In 2019, we represented New York at the White House Made in America Product Showcase—proof that Mark's commitment to uncompromising quality and American craftsmanship still defines everything we make.
Every bag we sew today carries that original mission: build it tough enough to last decades, comfortable enough to carry every day.
