is the auto gearbox still tight/smooth after those miles? every auto I have had has started to have problems at around that milage, but unfortunately that seems to be the only option for the sprinter (or any van) in North America. ....my hope is that maybe the gearbox is more robust than the typical auto, due to being meant for cargo.

Did you choose the 30L purely for duel purpose as an EDC bag and travel bag? I'm around 5'9/5'10 and was wondering if it was too long. Albeit I am fine with backpacks that are 20 inches long. Edit: @ 10:45 Ahh I see so technically it rides like a taller 16.5 '' backpack for that extra space.

Exactly, and that was a major draw for me to this pack. The extra space rides tall and not low. One thing I'm trying to figure out is if I can modify it to add a detachable hip belt.

I have one, and it does seem to mark easily. I like the form factor of the bag, but for airline travel, I think it lacks protection. Neither the bottom nor the sides are rigid enough. I was concerned about knocks from other bags when placed in the overhead lockers For an EDC, it is good-light and waterproof. The price is realistic, unlike the Wotancraft line.

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
