I've been in the market for a new bag in the past few days and your review videos have been by far the most informative I've seen. Great job! 👍

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the videos have been helpful!:)

[@flyingelbowdrop]

I’ve been using this bag for close to 5 months. I just used it as my only bag for a three day trip. It fit just fine under plane seats. I’m able to fit a 32 oz Hydroflask in the bottle pocket. Good video!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bag! I’m glad it has worked out well for you!:)

[@14dandurandr]

@flyingelbowdrop is that a wide mouth bottle you fit??

[@MillaExplores]

Great review! I'm considering getting this for everyday use and travel ☺

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful!:)

[@guanyuwarrior671]

Great review! I purchased mine based on this video!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful!:)

[@user-fd4nw5nl8i]

Thanks for the nice review! Love the black color but it seems like black ones are all sold out everywhere though

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! Hope the black is restocked soon, definitely check out the official site, Amazon, backcountry and maybe reí

[@user-dn5yr1nc2l]

Hello! Great review. I recently saw your bag on the Apogee too. Which bag do you like more the Apogee or Arcane series? I can’t find the apogee anymore since it’s discontinued. Looked like a great bag as well.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I think both are really solid, I do prefer the more minimal look of the arcane series but I thought the apogee was a little more comfortable

[@SteezyG]

The lack of a removable hip belt and bike light mount makes this a no go for me. I'm looking for a less technical Radial but those features are essential. Fantastic review and bag for City people who use public transport

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and good call outs! I can definitely see how those would be nice to have for bike transit, next week’s bag might be an interesting one to check out :)

[@paolovarotto9798]

Hi Daniel and thanks for the review ! I'm thinking about getting this pack for everyday use and mainly for bringing lunchbox and water bottle to work. Speaking of the lunchbox it's round with a diameter of 22 cm.in your opinion does it fit in the main compartment? Thanks

[@yckieh568]

In terms of carrying this for a full day vs the Fjallraven Raven 28, which do you think is more comfortable for the back?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! In the past I would have said this one, but the raven was recently updated to a new back panel to give it more breathability so it’s alot closer now. I feel like the arcane harness feels slightly more robust, but for my preferences I still lean towards the raven especially with the recent updates

[@lorenzolanzafame6492]

In terms of back panel breathability do you think it's better the updated Raven 28 or the Arcane XL?

[@pen9y131]

May I ask how tall are u? Is it large for your size?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I am 5’11”, and to me the bag felt like a good size, maybe slightly bigger than what I would normally carry but not overwhelming

[@pen9y131]

@@dannypacks Thanks for ur suggestion. Great video really helpful！

[@MrMathieu1501]

At the same price, you prefer this one or the raven 20L ? Thanks

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! Between this and the raven 20 I would lean towards this one, but compared to the raven 28 I might lean towards the 28 as I like the additional pockets it has and the laptop compartment a bit more

[@MrMathieu1501]

@@dannypacks Thank you, what do you think about patagonia refugio, north face borealis classic ? You always prefer the raven 28 ?

[@dannypacks]

@@MrMathieu1501 Good question! overall i prefer the aesthetic and organization of the raven 28, but i find the other options more comfortable. One of the options I like the most since its really comfortable is the north face surge (the borealis is great as well, just prefer some of the extra pockets provided on the surge)

[@MrMathieu1501]

@@dannypacks thanks a lot, i think will take a borealis classic, i prefer the look, lots of différence with the borealis and borealis classic ?

[@daniic]

Would you prefer arcane xl over apogee?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice! Although I prefer the aesthetic of the arcane, overall I would go with the apogee as I like the harness, pocket layout and laptop sleeve a bit better on that one

[@bmar916]

I don't understand why most of these higher end backpacks don't use zipper covers. If caught in the rain, wouldn't water seep through the zipper without a cover flap for it?

[@brycemcmillian1519]

Usually they leave the admin compartment uncovered for easy access

[@rlfstr]

I just don't know what it is but I hate Osprey's logo. It's one of the reasons why I have never bought any of their bags. It just bugs me.

[@gonebymidnight2881]

totally agree looks crappy

[@MG-qd6im]

Seems like a pretty lukewarm review for a $130 bag

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! Overall I liked the bag alot, it does what it needs to well and is durable, just didn’t quite excite me as some of the other bags I’ve been testing recently :)

[@Eirikr83]

the main compartment discriminates left handed people ;)
