Cabin Zero Travel Bag Review

Cabin Zero Travel Bag Review

cabin-zero-bag-review Cabin Zero Travel Bag Review
Over the years, I have used several travel bags, which came in small, medium and large units and from time to time, I would have a favourite bag until I met Cabin Zero.

Usually, I travel for short to medium trips as I am not one of those world nomads who travel from country to country forever.

I did that over 25 years ago when travel was pure and original compared to nowadays, so this Cabin Zero travel bag review is to share my happiness in finding the perfect bag for all my trips.

Cabin Zero Travel Bag Review
Currently, my travels take me around Malaysia and Southeast Asia, occasionally to Japan, Korea or even the Middle East. Still, my style of travel is usually a to-and-from trip without jumping from country to country.

This makes it easier for me to bring either a backpack or a check-in bag and backpack, depending on the duration of my trip.

Also having to consider, most of my trips take me into the wilderness, especially for nature, flora and fauna, culture, bird watching or general sightseeing.

So, depending on who my client is, I need to consider what type of travel bag to bring on my trips.

Having said that, I always have a preferred travel bag which I use, and in the last few years, I have been using a sleek, waterproof backpack, but to be honest, it was just average but practical.

You see, I belong to the 40’s club and travelling in this age group, you need an actual comfortable bag. This means something easy to carry around and store on buses, trains or flights.

Cabin Zero Travel Bags
In 2016, a fellow traveller introduced me to this new travel bag brand, which was considered new in my region, called Cabin Zero, and I thought little of it.

So, as I got tired of my waterproof backpack, I got one of those massive 44-litre backpacks from Cabin Zero in the military green colour, and when it arrived, I had a shock as to how huge it was.

With a total weight of 950 grams, it looked enormous, and the whole concept of it being an aircraft friendly cabin bag really impressed me.

Yes, the bag can be brought on any commercial flight as cabin luggage, hence the name.

Yes, I am at Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport with my Cabin Zero Bag.

Since using it in 2017, this has been my all-time favourite bag that I travel with now. In March of 2017, I visited Tokyo in Japan for three days for a quick work trip, and Cabin Zero was the only bag I brought along.

This was really hassle-free as I did not have to wait for any checked-in luggage, speeding up my airport check-in process.

Then in late March, I visited Bario in Sarawak for four days to do some bird watching and trekking, and I used only my Cabin Zero bag for the entire trip.

Everything I needed was packed neatly into the bag, and I still had extra space, so I even put in my trekking shoes.

My next trip would be to take one of those Taman Negara tour packages, where I will explore Malaysia’s largest and oldest national park in Pahang.

This will allow me to explore the rainforest and rivers and trek around the national park. Again, the Cabin Zero travel bag will be the perfect choice for my adventure here.

Where to buy a Cabin Zero Bag in Malaysia?

This is the big question being asked whenever someone meets me during my travels. They do not have an official retail store here in Malaysia, but you can buy Cabin Zero online from the official website.

You can also visit Acquire Shop at Bangsar Village Two, as they are one of the authorised outlets to sell this brand and have an outstanding collection available.

What’s So Special About Cabin Zero?

Each bag comes built-in Global Luggage Tracker, powered by Okoban. That’s pretty cool. And the shoulder straps are thick padded AirMesh which is really comfortable.

The outer composite material is made from military spec nylon, the real hard stuff. So, I have been using the bag several times, and it still looks good.

Cabin Zero Warranty

Every Cabin Zero bag comes with a 10-year warranty, and to sweeten the deal, if you ‘like’ Cabin Zero on their official Facebook, they will increase the warranty to 25-years. Now, that’s an excellent deal if you ask me.

At the end of the day, I am still using this bag for all my travels, and so far, it has been a perfect experience.

Conclusion

As a seasoned traveller for the last 30 years, I have gone through many different travel bags, and this Cabin Zero travel bag review is one of the very rare articles I do for travel products.

In other words, the Cabin Zero travel bag is incredible, and I am actually happy using it, especially when I travel abroad.

For a 5 days trip, how do you pack and what do you pack? It is just a balik kampung to Bario.

I have the same bag as you do.

I have an issue to always bring too much for a short trip. An anxiety that i have.

Heya, thanks for the comment. Well, actually I love to do the 'rolled' clothes and those go at the bottom of the Cabin Zero bag. Other than that, I use smaller pouches to keep toiletries and other items such as gadget chargers and so on. This way, everything has its own little bag inside the bag. for 5 days, I usually bring 6 days clothes, but light materials. I can even put in a pair of slippers in the bag. Generally, the bag will fit everything, unless you want to bring a rice cooker? hehe

Came across this blog when I was searching about this brand after I saw a shop in Bangsar Village 2, KL, selling it. So maybe you can buy this bag there.
