VSTR and Partners & Spade VSTR and Partners & Spade The Nomadic Pack stashes a hideaway hammock and detachable messenger bag In surfing, as in traveling, the feeling of setting out into the unknown makes the adventure worth the risk. 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. The result is the Nomadic Pack—an adventure-ready carryall designed to withstand the rigors of extended travel by the "coastal nomad". Big enough to hold weeks' worth of gear, the expansive bag accommodates this intrepid way of life with a stowable lightweight hammock—the stuffsack-style bed-in-a-bag packs away into a small bottom compartment—and a heavy-duty detachable messenger bag that zips off from the outer layer. In fact, the bag is designed to conveniently fit the entire VSTR clothing line,so one is theoretically always fully outfitted while on the road. The collaboration waxed canvas carryall is part of VSTR's first line of softgoods and will be available 25 June 2012 exclusively through Partners & Spade and VSTR online for $395.Partners SpadeBags LuggagesStylish BackpackBackpack FashionBackpack NiceCamping BackpackingCamping CookingHikingBags PacksForwardThis bag is evidence that Kelly Slater and Jack Spade plan to survive in style and want you to do the same.

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.
Unfortunately, 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. 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. So it’s time for an upgrade for all of us traveling, poorly styled excuses for surfers.
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. Enter the new Nomadic Pack from the Kelly Slater-helmed VSTR brand. This 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. This is the type of critical item that will elevate your status. VSTR x Partners & Spade Nomadic Pack
