Hi there wat is the brand for the pouch u had belted on the strap? Its a very minimal and good looking one.

Um, brand mark up? No, no, no, that shit is made in the US, everything is more expensive to manufacture in the US and I guarantee you that they're not paying their employees minimum wage, the cost of labor is all part of the overall cost. Obviously, there's going to be some mark up, otherwise what's the point? I will always pay more for a product that's made in the US because the extra cost is worth it and typically American made items are of the highest quality. People that are watching your video are aware of how much the bag costs, we don't need to be constantly reminded that it's expensive.

Hi mate what are the zipper pulls - do they stop the zips being too jingly jangly?

How's the weight?

Great review. I was considering this bag now I’m sold. Where did you get that Tech Pouch? Can’t find it at Peaksesign and I want one of those too. It’s a killer pouch.

Great review. I'm a bit confused at the leather on bottom gripe, there are so many great leather duffle bags, leather is meant to be used heavily. Also, any way to buy this bag in 2024? I'm looking for it

Based on your review I ended up getting the synik 22 . Great review

I really appreciate that it’s all made in the USA. I bought another bag that was just as expensive and it was shipped to me directly from Malaysia. So the American company didn’t even bring it into their own warehouse to check it or anything. I know it’s a profit driven thing, but it just felt wrong.

Is the outside of the bag waterproof

It looks great only complaint is the weight I love bag a tad lighter otherwise really great design and care

Hi, I agree with you on many fronts on this review, the key aspect as you said the warranty is poor. Made in china, well that’s just a fact of life tbh. I think this whole china thing needs to be reassessed. Every single digital device you used to make this review to write the description was most likely made in CHINA! So we need to be real here. China manufacturing has stepped up over the years. The brand name TUMI, okay its a major cost factor, bear in mind they market themselves as luxury and not essentials, so that’s on the purchaser. I am not picking faults on your review I am just saying if you were sincere with yourself you know it’s a lot more than just a brand purchase. I find myself seeing many of their backpacks as essentials and not even luxury items. I tried to buy cheaper brands but it just sucks, feels like rubbing against sandpaper in the inserts. A lot of people are having moments of nostalgia comparing quality to newer products, I can agree on that. But some of these new designs are life changing for me. Moving into different careers and through progression needs and wants change, I think this is a great backpack. If it fits your needs. I totally disagree with the magnetic top pouch slot. There’s no way water ingress drenched your phone if you were to use it for that. And no I do not feel anything pressing against my back. I think the issues you are having is due to the bag being simply too small for your needs. It’s way over packed, and pressing back against you. I wish I could recommend you something from TUMI, but those items you are carrying needs some protection to prevent key wear etc.that this bag does provide, its just too rammed with all you are carrying. In my opinion. Great review keep it up. I like the way you personalised it too.

10/10 review

What's the grey bag on the right? Thanks.

After 5 years how’s the bag holding up?

12:48 Do you have a link for this fidlock? I can;t seem to find the one you have with the magnetic closure. Thanks, and great video by the way. I'm trying to decide between the Khyte and Rhake.

what waterbottle is this

Your initial comments are so true. I bought a Vertx bag because it looked cool, but using it for a year I am somewhat disappointed. I have never been disappointed with a TB bag

This company is full of trash. Their backpacks errant or errant pro die pretty quickly in the sun and quickly crack and die. They won't read your emails or respond to you. No guarantees. Complete ignorance of your problems. And the backpack was thrown into a landfill. Their accessories also crack quickly. For example a bag aux. So think twice before buying anything from them.

I put my phone and wallet in my bag. I dont like carrying stuff in my pants pockets. Very uncomfortable when sitting and walking.

Hi Honorus! It's been a while since your last review man. Big surprise coming?

Do you want to sell that Alchemy AEL222 bag?

This looks great! Would it fit a change of gym clothes and sneakers, plus a 13” MacBook and a lunchbox? Planning to use this for edc on the train going to the office and gym.

I have had zero thoughts about this bag ‘s aesthetics. Looks great to me.

Great review. I think it’s a great looking bag. I just got back from a five week work trip. I lived out if this backpack and a suitcase. I just order one in purple for my daughter who’s going off to college in a few month’s.

Man.. been watching lot of clips here n therr to pick my next backpack. This review is the best. Right on. Thanks!

When you said you got caught in the middle rain , only the top part got oddly damp ? What about the rest of the bag ?

Is the rigid frame in the Synik removable?

What is the nomenclature of the backpack in the background?

So I've found myself in a rabbit hole of sorts with the evergoods bags and I just wanted to point out that the "RC" designation on the zippers refers to the "for luggage zippers" section of the YKK catalogue. They don't advertise any particular specification but gussing from the application, I could assume they should be heavy duty. If anyone has more info, I'd love to learn more.

What's VX stands for?

Hi, do you think a canvas camera bag measuring 13” wide, and 6” deep could be stuffed in bottom of this bag with long side (13”) of canvas bag being down? I can do this in my old TNF Surge but not the new one.

Thank you for this review. I have a camera bag, a Think Tank Retro 7 (13" length x 10" height x 6" width) that I carry in the bottom of my travel packs. Would this TTR7 fit in the bottom of this Synik? It would seem like it could based on how the pockets have L independence. Thank you for any feedback you can provide. I would also normally carry a 12.9" iPad in the back pocket as well.

You’re aware you can adjust the TUMI bag’s straps, no?

"Can't" .. well you "Can" with small trade-offs. There isn't too many bags you that you don't have trad-offs with interior organization vs exterior which would yield less restrictions. However having ruck marched for a few hundred miles over the years, military rucks are bulky and not streamlined. The pack is clearly not designed to expand outward. Apples and Oranges. Pick your poison. Show me a bag that is a top loader that you can reach past everything you loaded into it? This is more of a cynics overview more than a review. However I do appreciate shining the light on the jazz happening with the kick starter.

did you get the right size keyboard sleeve?

U kno those have the same headband as the x42

Does the Peloton feel heavy? Their website lists it as 4.35lbs, a pound or two more than the chrome bags

Thanks for the video. Do you find that having the laptop compartment on the back like that pushes the back father away from your back and carries the weight strangely? My wife has a camera bag set up like that and she wasn’t in love with it

Have you review LBBJKT?

hey did u end up selling this? If not would be interested to buy

Wen I see bags like these, I think they’re a pickpockets dream.. all those external pockets, you put that on your back , and you lose all your valuables

I've gotten 4 Mission Workshop backpacks and I can confidently say that they're overrated crap... Although I do rather like their Drift Laptop Bag (which is just a massive overbuilt tote). The Vandal is OK but the zipper broke and their famously wonderful customer service told me to ship it back to them for $50 or buy some cheap replacement zipper on Amazon. Their R6 Arkiv was a real stinker, truly pointless in its complexity. All of it too rigid, overbuilt and rather silly looking in-person. But again LOL, the Vandal isn't the worst as a carry-on.

"I don't know what I'm talking about here. I don't design bags. Good lord." lol
