The 630D nylon with 5PM coating feels almost rubbery and gives the exterior some weather resistance, though dust and scuffs remain concerns. The reviewer identified four distinct access routes to the WANDRD Fernweh’s main compartment, supporting different ways to reach packed gear. The side entrance gives quick camera access with the Essential Camera Cube installed, without requiring the wearer to remove the pack completely.
The back-panel opening reveals a laptop sleeve fitting up to a 15-inch laptop, with a false bottom and securing Velcro strap. The removable hip belt includes a zippered phone-or-snack pocket, an open mesh pocket, and external gear loops for quick access.
