Thanks buddy, I have been interested in this one for quite some time, but hearing about other people’s experiences with something that’s not cheap is a great way to feel confident about getting it! But, I shouldn’t worry about anything other than affording it because I have not regretted buying a SureFire before. I think sometimes it’s better to buy one, cry once! 😂 Especially when it’s a tool that it could get you killed if it stops working! Thanks again. Best wishes to you and your family. ✌️🇺🇸

👍

Thanks but persons frame size isn't a problem cause it has adjustable harness plus it's not small in terms of length overall, it's tall ok, it's small capacity is due to depth and width

Is the pocket clip on the Folsom ambidextrous?

Really appreciate this, Matt. Thank you for the good effort! 😎

12:31 - unbelievable... 😯 the most important zipper in a backpack, and this one is not waterproof... ☹ Thanks to you, I avoided making the wrong choice, thank you very much for this video.

thanks for the review, it was very informative, and you had almost convinced me until you mentioned the backpanel issue. That's a very bad design flaw and would drive me crazy.

How is this bag holding up today compared to other options? (Especially in terms of comfort) Do you still use it? I'm still trying to find the perfect camera backpack (like everyone else). I've tried the Shimoda 35l Explore V2 and Action X30 but for some reason Shimoda's harness system just doesn't work well for me and I find their bags very uncomfortable even after loads of adjustments. The Think Tank Urban Access 15 is much more comfortable but I find the layout limiting. The Fstop Shinn 80l is very comfortable for it's size and weight when used with the hip belt but it's far too big for most daily carry use. It's also hard to find bags with good depth to store larger lenses vertically like the Canon RF 70-200mm (5.75") and RF 28-70mm F2. The Compagnon 20l and 30l look great but are very expensive and hard to find much recent feedback on compared to other options.

was a really good vid maybe when filming the car from the side zoom a bit out

How do you only have 74 views, insane cinematography

Thanks for the thorough review. NYA-EVO doesn’t have enough photos and video on their own site to even closely convince me, but your review is super thorough. After a few years of use, what would you say is the biggest problem with the bag? Subscribed!

Why you shaking so much man?

do you feel comfortable with the buckle straps? They say the shoulder straps are too short so the buckles stay on your chest instead of the armpit and it is not comfortable. can you tell us something? thanks for the video.

They’re memory card holders, not battery holders. Great review though - very thorough with good pacing. The best review of this product I’ve seen, for sure.

Great overview thank you!

Very helpful video, Matt. I'm hiking now with ULA-Equipment and Gregory backpacks, but this one is now high on my list for upgrading. I wish some of your video switches from older to newer were a bit slower. Maybe it's my old age, but it felt somewhat jerky to me. Your content was TOP NOTCH.

Does this have magnetic wireless charging? I have a iPhone 14 and it comes with MagSafe wireless charging. 🧲⚡️

Can it fit an 11-inch iPad Pro?😅

Thank you for the good overall review. I found it a bit of a struggle to install the large insert. Once installed, it works just fine, but it was enough of an effort that I'm inclined to permanently leave it in and not bother swapping it out with a medium insert sometimes. Do you use both L and M inserts?

Thanks for this. I just picked up a used Aluminium one. Always nice to hear from someone who actually uses things 😊looking forward to selling my massive old Gitzo to pay for it lol Andy

where would you store a gimbal if you had one? great video!

Jesus... Please don't forget to breath. You're talking about a bag and not running a marathon.

Unfortunately, its so damn heavy!! I have the Athlete, and I would prefer the Adventure bag, but the design is so different, and I'm not a fan of it. Laptop compartment is useless and added weight not needed as my laptop doesn't even fit. Its way too padded, which is good, but its so much weight. Its 2-3x heavier than a normal hiking bag. The hip strap has expandable pockets, which is great, but it sucks as they are not removable, which makes using the hip pockets useless, as you cant use them.

Very good review. Thanks 500 price tag is a little abusive. I really wanted Athlete, but there is few things what make me think. 1) weight - as carry on is a bit heavy 2) side zippers are potential point of failure 3) ICU should be removable so is you could use inside backpacking bag if you need to I can't find one reason why I will buy this bag over let say F-stop AJNA 37L DuraDiamond 37L .

Do you know if I can put a PM sling instead of 1 cube? Or is too big?

very detailed review of the bag. thank you very much. i struggle between those two and the NYA-Evo Fjord 60C so your videos help a lot. Cheers from Austria

I have the original Athlete pack and the side zip pocket is for a hydration bladder. I agree about all the floppy straps, that’s my only complaint too. Otherwise they are perfect.

Love your pack reviews. I don't see mentioned anything about a water reservoir/ hydration bladder. Of all of the packs you have tried, which are your top picks with dedicated spots for a bladder?

I just ordered the UA21 in wildfire but also have the UA24, Spiff Kit and Go Bag in wood waxed. It’s a great material choice. I wish they had more bags in the black waxed like the Mission Rover.

Excellent video on this bag

Shimoda Designs Explore v2 25L on sale for $280, but I love the look of this bag much more. Have you seen it go on sale at all? Not sure I really can justify the extra $100. Watch and wait? for this one? What are your thoughts? Also checking out WANDR PRYVK.

Can the bag stand upright on its own similar to Shimoda Explorer V2?

Nice video, I got a lot out of it. One note, the Unicorn was far from being the first collab. I think there were at least 6 before it including with Topo Designs, Trakke, and Alchemy Equipment

Cool editing on your video. I did two reviews on this pack but not as nice nice as yours. kzbin.info/aero/PLLHjhO7HKaERf-AubPLQzMg33nJFAu7h3

why are you so out breath?

Excellent video man! It's being difficult for me because I do want this backpack, but ultimately I don't know if it's worth the investment over a long period of time.

Great video! I feel like however right now as of 2022 they're many alternatives to this peak design for example the ulanzi tripod or the upcoming Heipi Tripod.

hmmm i didnt realize how annoying it would be to take the laptop out. i really like the bag. but i think for my tech use cases...i would have preferred a separate laptop compartment. i honestly think these bags are hype. i get that they are cool. but....idk maybe just not 100% suited for tech use cases. great video. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video. I have the carbon fiber version. The tripod is great, but I switched the head for a Manfrotto video fluidhead.

Thanks for the review. I'm actually thinking of getting this pack to put my fight gear (gloves, shinguards etc.) in the main compartment and office wear (blazer, pants, shoes etc.) in the segmented pockets. Do you think its a good idea? have been looking for a duffle that can hold all the items but split them up at the same time and this seems like it! Is there an option to add a shoulder strap as well? To use in duffle mode?

For people on the taller side, the yoke can be adjusted. Its a great harness

Cool video mate.

Great video. Thanks for sharing, mate 😉 ✌️

Nice video. I wished you showed your loadout. 😁

Nice looking pack but the 500 price tag kind of kills it for me.

I spent the entire video waiting for you to show me inside the individual pockets and you never did. 😆 Seriously though, what they look like in there?

Who buys this? Absolutely unnecessary.

i will receive this bag in these two days 🙌 ，it takes almost half months from Germany shipping to China. I am look forward to it!

Finally a review on the 2022 edition, thanks a lot!
