The buckles on the are actually spanish buckles, not nexus buckles, just nitpicking I think I have watched this video 5 times now

[@Mazzah96]

Thank you for the clarification! Always thought that classification was a little bit off, even though they do show up when you put in nexus buckles.

[@tionanima]

These buckles actually seem to be replicated/ harvested from German flecktarn mag poches but are functionally equivalent to a Spanish buckle

[@WhatDaFurk]

Line I/O subsystem is basically the 3 holes you can feed a cable/wire through 1 on each interior main pocket and 1 on the exterior.

Very good review, thank you.

Yo, came across your channel a few days ago. Absolute sick past few videos! Keep up the great work! 🤟

[@Mazzah96]

Means a lot coming from you m'lord thanks a ton!

[@someflyingdude6001]

I was fortunate enough to have a buddy halfway around the world trust me with repairing his, and these bags are so amazing. The texture of the laminate is so smooth and leathery. I also noticed that the bag is actually closer to 46cm wide and not 42 as it says on the acrnm website, which makes a big difference for how easy it is to get a laptop in and out. Great video as always!

[@Mazzah96]

Loved your work with it man! The dyneema was such a cool touch

[@nn-hx8oe]

Idk how this gonna come out but im tryna make my own messenger bag inspiring in the acronym bag lineup, since j cant afford one yet, are there any tips or insight you could give me about the bag, or the pattern, etc

Hi. Thank you for your nice review. May I know the all accessories (D link & buckles) on the shoulder strap is made of metal or plastics? also, what materiel used on the nexus buckles?

[@kristophermanabo6446]

Hey goon, morty, aka Matt! I need your advice on getting which acronym bag to grab- I’m torn between the 3A-1 or the 3A-3Ts. I know each one has theirs strengths and I wanted to hear which one you’d suggest I grab. 3A-1 being iconic and having all the basic necessities on a bag or the customization of 3Ts with its mollywebbing details options. Could really use your opinion and thoughts on each one. Appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Mazzah96]

Hey Kristopher! Sorry for the very late response. Having owned both, it really comes down to whether or not you prioritize customizability, or you think the 3a-1's layout is all you need. For me personally? I think that the pocket layout with the 3a-1 is the best you can get. The mezzanine pockets on the 3a-1 are the subtle banger for me, and weirdly enough, the best selling point for the bag overall. While I owned my 3TS, I really loved how I could move around mods I owned, and, I loved how I was able to get a TON of stuff onto the front face of the bag. On top of that, because of the stripped back nature, you're also paying a bit less for that variant. However, I found that the modularity on the front could end up looking really busy at times, which was a little bit bothersome, AND, the convenience of the mezzanine pockets on the 3a-1 was too captivating for me to not have. hope that's of some help! You're getting a great bag one way or the other.

[@kristophermanabo6446]

Goon hey Goon! Thanks for reply, I couldn’t have agreed with you more regarding the mezzanine pockets!!! I personally feel that the pocket we’re enough for 3A-1 even though the customizability in 3Ts is strongest and most compelling selling point but this could get costly. Your point with it being too busy is 💯 accurate. I did want to give it that unique look with patches and my own pockets but once again cost and aesthetics. Thanks again for the in-depth review and breakdown of both bags! Appreciate it- I think I’m gonna go with the classic 3A-1 appreciate it!

[@sdchew]

@Goon, do you think Acronym will reissue the 3A-1? It’s pretty tough to find

[@Mazzah96]

At some point in the future? Most likely. It's their bread and butter bag so it's inevitable. When is another question, which I can't answer :P. 3a-1's semi-consistently pop up on the second hand market however, and I recommend keeping an eye on places like Grailed in particular, as well as Jawnflip, and other websites where this stuff circulates pretty frequently.

[@tjdvlfgns]

@Goon Do you think 16 inch macbook pro would fit in this bag? I am considering either this or 3a-5TS since they are both available for purchase on Acronym website. IMO definitely this one looks a lot better than 3a-5TS.. but I am not sure if this can hold my fatass 16 inch macbook pro.

[@Mazzah96]

It won't fit in this bag unfortunately :(. I have a 15 inch laptop, and that won't even fit in properly.

[@tjdvlfgns]

@@Mazzah96 Thx a lot for the reply! I guess I will have to get 3a-5TS instead. Love your reviews man. Keep up the great work sir!

[@stanleysui]

how did you manage to rip the bag?

[@Mazzah96]

bought it from the previous owner like that. Just a scar, doesn't go all the way through.

[@windowlicker4399]

any idea on how much older versions cost?

[@Mazzah96]

depends. The older Cordura/xpac versions tend to be on the "cheaper" side going anywhere between 6-800. Newer ones tend to go for retail or slightly below. Laminate versions are the ones that sit above retail cuz of their rarer/condition dependent nature.
