@@e3vL1 I don’t have the CHZ26 but it will definitely have a larger main space. Because your 26l is divided up much more on the CTB.

Thanks for watching! The notebook holder is from Arc Company

@@ChrisCarries_EDC Thanks for the info. Looks like they make great gear.

Yes that was my mistake - it was a centimetre thick at around 2:14 (not an inch!)

I mean short of the ergonomics of how you are holding the pen, the writing test is irrelevant. The ink inside can be switched out to any parker/parker like refill. If they made the ink, then it would be understandable to see how their insert performs. When you can put any ink insert you like, the way it writes has nothing to do with the pen itself. This is a review of the pen, the machining, the design, etc... not the $5 ink insert they provided with it. Everyone has their own preference on ink.

No, I didn't quite gel with it. I use the Evergoods CAS2 instead.

Great to hear!

I think it has to do with how high one wears the backpack. I just bought the CTB20 and it’s very uncomfortable compared to my Aer Travel Pack (small). The shoulder straps are almost painful in comparison, to be honest. I love so much about the Evergoods pack though, the zippers and materials are incredible, the design is much more subdued and practical in a wider range of situations.

@@AmnesiaTanner i love their bags, just hate how fat they are. Dont own a single bag of theirs after owning them all, they too chunky, im not traveling while edc🤣✌️

⁠@@AmnesiaTanner do you see yourself returning the CTB20? I also noticed it is fairly uncomfortable but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s new and stiff or not. I just can’t find a comparable bag with the same features in this size.

@@AmericasianKid1 I am not returning it unless the 50d lining begins to tear or fray on the shoulder straps or back panels within the first year. I will say the straps have become a lot more comfortable in just the first couple days of wearing it. Adjusting the sternum strap so that it’s in the lowest position really helped for me. So far no issues with the bag, I am getting used to it being slightly bulkier than my Aer bag. Since it’s streamlined in so many other ways, I think I can accept the bulk.

For me I have the idea it is how your back curves. Some people have their butt sticking out more, ie curving their back more. Then it seems to dig more easily. If I consciously adjust my hips it is fine. But on the other hand I can carry my Goruck and Aer bags without any discomfort so although I love evergoods their design it seems that part is not for me. They are just not comfortable. Shoulder straps also dig a lot quicker than Aer or Goruck. So I don't see myself ever using a CTB35 while I don't mind filling up my Aer travel pack or Goruck GR2 over 10 kg.

You could try a t-shirt or thin towel, or try slightly bending the frame sheet so that the bottom curves away from your back

You’d need to check the airline’s allowances but a lot of people have used it successfully for carry on where it’s technically larger than the carry on size limits.

The LT is ever so slightly smaller. I can fit £20 notes in the regular Topsider just fine, but they stick out by about 1mm from the side of the LT.

Awesome thank you. I have a LT getting delivered today but the original Topsider looks fantastic also and I’m kind of digging the simplicity of the design. I was worried it would feel significantly bigger in pocket.

@@jeremybarbaresi6892 They're very similar in the pocket, almost an identical feel

That's a great idea, man. Even though I never really had a problem with the handle, I'm going to do it anyway to improve it.

It's a Prometheus design werx patch

GBP notes is too wide it struggles to fit, the US dollars all the same size notes

Also the US dollars is paper and UK is plastic and waterproof

It's about 3cm

It's very hard to say - I do enjoy both, and I like the simplicity of the original one as well as the fact that it is slightly wider so can accommodate £20 notes better (they stick out ever so slightly on the LT). But I like the organisation/separation within the new one! I saw a post on their Instagram a while ago, teasing a different design of the LT, which looked better to me than the current design. Guess I'll have to wait and see if they bring that to market.

@@ChrisCarries_EDCCould you describe the differences in the tease that you saw? I was looking through their Instagram page but I couldn’t find that post. I’ve been considering getting the Bifold LT but I’d hate to get it and then they release another version that I’d end up liking better.

What's the primary color on this wallet?
