Mammut xeron 25l backpack product review; The best backpack for a digital nomad



This time, I will do the product review of the backpack I have been using for many years; the Mammut Xeron 25l backpack.


As a digital nomad and a minimalist I have been switching and trying many different types of backpacks, but when I bought this I felt like I met the one.


Sadly as of the time I am writing this article, it looks like Mammut is not selling 25L Xeron anymore so please let me put the link to Xeron 15L instead.


Mammut xeron 25l backpack product review



Currently, it looks like Xeron 25L model is not sold anymore but there is  Xeron 15L  which is a little bit smaller than mine but definitely suitable for a week's backpack travel.


The 5 reasons to have Mammut-Xeron series backpack are...
  1. Cost-efficient price
  2. Durability
  3. Waterproof
  4. Looks stylish
  5. Not too big

1. Mammut Xeron is Cost-efficient price



If you look at this picture, you will realize that the material used for this backpack is authentic.

The one that I bought was less than 200€ and I have been for many years, but still, I do not see any disadvantages of having this item.




As I have written in the article "Minimalist Lifestyle Tips; Do not buy many cheap things but buy that lasts for a lifetime", always invest a decent amount of money if you are purchasing something, especially if you want to use it for a long time.


2. Mammut Xeron is durable



The second reason to have this item is that Mammut Xeron is durable for any circumstances.

Looking at the details of the stech, I can tell that this one was made for real waterproof purposes.




The zipper can be closed very tightly so that any strong wind or dust seems not to be able to disturb me.




The zipper to close the top part is also nicely constructed.

I go out with this backpack no matter the weather, but I have never made my belongings wet as far as I remember.


3. Mammut Xeron is waterproof


The third point that I can feel safe with this backpack is it's 100% waterproof.

As shown in the above picture, this backpack is rooftop style, so it is very easy to prevent rain/water from coming into the main part of the backpack by rolling the top part.



For a digital nomad moving around with multiple weather circumstances, having waterproof products as much as possible is very essential.


I have been thinking in a way that my backpack is my house, so I want to have a strong roof and durable/waterproof walls. 


Authentic waterproof products may be quite expensive that you do not want to keep purchasing, but as written in the article "Minimalist Lifestyle Tips; Do not buy many cheap things but buy that lasts for a lifetime", it is always important and valuable to invest in something that you use every day.


My advice: do not overlook the importance of everyday life comfortability


4. Mammut Xeron looks stylish 


This type of value is a very personally attached thing but the shape of Mammut Xeron looks very cool to me.


When I talk about the shape of the backpack, I can not finish this topic without talking about the packing tips; especially something that can work for both suitcase and backpack.


As deeply discussed in the article "Packing tips while traveling that all minimalists should follow", being able to pack smartly is a key to a successful minimalism trip.


Mammut Xeron will make it possible to travel smartly because this backpack itself is an icon of minimalism.


5. Mammut Xeron is not too big



The size of the backpack is very important if you are a digital nomad/minimalist.

If you buy a too-small backpack, you will need to buy another one to carry everything you need and if you buy a too-big one, you will not be able to carry it into the aircraft or simply it is not comfortable carrying around. 




The backside of the backpack is very strong.

If you carry this, you will feel very safe because everything is connected safely and strongly thanks to the history of Mammut that the brand itself started by manufacturing the safety rope for the mount-climbing. 


Summary: the reasons to have Mammut Xeron backpack


  1. Cost-efficient price
  2. Durability
  3. Waterproof
  4. Looks stylish
  5. Not too big


are the reasons to have a Mammut Xeron series backpack.
