My wife made me realize I've got a backpack addiction that matches her handbag obsession.

[@PackHacker2]

😂😂😂

[@chispito6986]

You're not alone buddy 😂

[@ericfallabel9201]

A visually loud logo and a heavy and audibly loud seatbelt buckle. Just what I've always wanted!

[@timecrash85]

I feel you with the packable raincoat. I pack 1 in any packs that can't really carry a normal foldable umbrella.

[@jonuiuc]

I was sort of bummed when I saw chrome’s x fabric is not xpac, but rather just a nylon fabric with an x print on it. I do like that nylon webbing though, looks cool.

[@transatlant1c]

Oh lame. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@zer0bytes2000]

Great style on that pack with the yellow and red paracord. nice

[@PackHacker2]

🤙🤙🤙

[@ianmcvay754]

Just got the black non-buckle version. Awesome bag. I researched alpaka forever and this one beat the go sling versions for me.

"Who wants to be bored ever and be alone with their thoughts?" lol felt.

[@schnickschnack2090]

[@nivektek2681]

Nice video..I Hope You Review Legazy bags from the Philippines

[@Christopher-ss8cz]

Will it fit the messenger organizer 2.0 in it?

[@ScottAlanPhotography7]

Do you find this slipping when riding? I noticed it does not have a secondary strap like the kadet.

[@aidenb8890]

how does this compare to the mini kadet?

[@MikeHoncho884]

I’m working in the Lansing area are you near there and would you consider selling that bag?

[@Wasp9513]

Could you review the Sanvquist Hiker Sling?

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.

[@ohjoshdarnit]

Can it fit a surface pro?

[@Hekilikaua]

I just received my Tensile Sling, but was told that the buckle is swappable - unfortunately, I don't see that to be the case. Can you please confirm?

[@Wichyn1]

Just new models have that feature. mine from 2021 doesn't have it but if you contact Chrome and show that you ask for the swappable version then they might change it

[@insertnamehere8686]

What are the weird elastic loops for on the "hip huggers" can't figure out what they're for.

[@Wichyn1]

English is not my main language so sorry if I didn't understand your question correctly, I'll answer the two scenarios that I think you might be referring to. Those one on the actual belt are just to prevent the excess of belt to flap around while using it. The black and gray ones that are at each side of the bag itself are for "compression". The idea is that if you have few things in the bag, in order to prevent the bag to be saggy or look bulky and have your things flapping around inside, you can fasten them and make the bag look and feel slimmer

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

[@GrimLocke161]

I was between this and the Alpaka Tech Case Max to replace my Kavu Switch Slinger, which like but don’t quite like nor does it quite fit me well enough. But, then my decade+ old ThinkGeek Bag of Holding started to really big for its retirements, and so I got the Chrome Kadet Max in Castlerock Twill, instead. 🙃

[@correasmarketmariscos5220]

Can it fit an ipad pro?

[@InnerCityZoo]

For those who like Chrome bag designs but don't care for the buckle, ALOT of the popular slings now come with a non-buckle strap. Reduces some weight and noise.

[@ianmcvay754]

And you can swap the buckle for just the non-buckle slide and vice versa.

[@jarnix2]

How do you attribute a duration to each video ? Like "after 2 weeks" ? Is it longer when it's more expensive? Or do you have like a dice that you throw before doing the video? It's so cringe haha
