Run by 11-time world surf champion Kelly Slater and backed by Quicksilver, the recently launched surf lifestyle brand VSTR takes this pioneering spirit as inspiration. As an artistically driven company, VSTR—pronounced visitor—was drawn to collaborate with NYC's Partners & Spade, enlisting the creative collective to help in the ideation and design of their first piece of luggage.

Written by  Peter Viele After spending a lot of time on the road, in airports, and at the lost luggage counter, I’ve become quite the minimalist. With the charges airlines are imposing these days for both checked and carry-on bags, not to mention surfboards, it’s only made it that much easier to take even less. lexon backpack with laptop compartmentUnfortunately, like most surfers, my boardbag is typically my primary concern, with the style of my backpack — usually some cheap freebie that I somehow pilfered along the way — being the last thought while packing. backpack hulala

Then it dawned on me: Just because you’re a surfer doesn’t mean you have to look like a beach bum in the airport. Why you need the VSTR x Partners & Spade Nomadic Pack: Simplicity is paramount when you’re hustling to your next gate while simultaneously grabbing your boarding pass, headphones, iPhone, laptop bag, and wallet. Juggling between your current, atrocious backpack — c’mon, you know that ugly branded one with the five-year-old logos and wax melted in the zipper — and that heinous laptop bag you got on sale at Office Max, you end up looking like a disheveled teenager as you struggle through the terminal, which is what I, apparently, looked like on an early trip to France as told to me by a young French beauty. jigglypuff backpack ebaySo it’s time for an upgrade for all of us traveling, poorly styled excuses for surfers. trayvon backpack jewelry

Real men used to be concerned with their appearance, traveling with handsome luggage that echoed who they were and the lack of nonsense they put up with. What happened to that sentiment? Why have surfers settled for nylon, kitschy, ugly garbage bags with straps? I find it a little disconcerting that most of us wear the same packs that elementary students carry to school every morning. Every modern man should own a nice piece of luggage that complements his personality with fundamental functionality and a keen sense of style. contour 21l backpackEnter the new Nomadic Pack from the Kelly Slater-helmed VSTR brand. rehacer backpackThis is one of the best looking, toughest, and most versatile packs produced by any brand — surf or otherwise — in a long time. Design specs: Designed in collaboration with NYC’s Partners & Spade firm, the Nomadic Pack is far from lacking in the style department with its vintage aesthetic and classic detailing.

The zip-off, removable laptop satchel, one of the best features of the pack, allows you to keep your loose ends together — and keep you looking more like an informed savant than a hobo. As a larger pack, there’s also plenty of room here for more than a week’s worth of clothing, with great little pockets for all the surf travel necessities like fins, sunscreen, wax, ding repair kits, etc. And as VSTR’s minimalist marketing tagline for this pack suggests, if it doesn’t fit, you probably don’t need it. Final verdict: That utter simplicity, coupled with surf-travel functionality and styling that makes you look more like Mike Hynson or Robert August in The Endless Summer than your average grom, is exactly what makes the Nomadic Pack so perfect. You’re already stoked that you’re headed out on a surf adventure — why not go with a little class and style? VSTR’s Nomadic Pack looks just as good if you’re trudging through a jungle in a tank top, boardshorts, and sandals as it does if you’re in designer jeans, classic oxfords, and a tailored shirt.
