Very good review. Thank you for actually showing all the features of the product. Well done.

the shape reminds me of the Black Hole Pack 32L except much more streamlined, I had to check that irt wasn't way more Lr because of how diff in size it looks. This bag is done so nicely, I love the colour way but wish it had an inside mesh pocket or something. I lovee that it comes with the laptop organiser, the key look is annoyingly placed but perhaps good for an airtag. I have to say i don't love the waterbottle older pockets (same as on the blackhole) but perhaps as this is smaller it won't feel as clunky. It would have been nice to see you use packing cubes as visually its easier to get an idea of how it packs.

Hello there, How to attach the backpack with a bicycle with the loop you have mentioned at 9:38 ?

Great review! Looks like a good carry-on travel option. Coukd you get shoes in where the laptop sleeve goes?

Reminds me of Deuter Access 38

Reminds me of the Dragondly but possibly better

"Daypack" and "30L" are NOT terms that go together. 30L is more than my main pack I use for one bag, long term travel...

I’m 6’4” and my clothes are much larger than yours I’m guessing. I also need 28 liters just for a picnic with a blanket, food, bottle of wine and a baguette 🥖. That’s not including my usual carry items. Smaller bags also look silly on me unless they’re tall and narrow.

@@BillNelson-OU812 Heh, I'm also 6'4"/250lbs... my clothes are large, believe me. But I use mainly merino clothing when I travel, I can easily pack a week's worth of clothing in a PD medium packing cube; and that's for cold weather, if it's summer I can do it with a small PD cube. And if I have enough for a week, I have enough for 3 months - most AirBNB's I've been to had a washer and if they don't, I can easily wash a t-shirt and a pair of socks every 2-3 days in the sink, by hand. I also never pack shoes, unless I know I'll go hiking, then I wear my bulky hiking shoes on the plane and pack a pair of Vivobarefoot Ra's (that I'd usually wear) which compress down to nothing. I even carry a mirrorless camera and a drone in this one-bag setup, most of the time. BTW, my go to bag size is 26L - CTB26/GR1/GR2/ULA Dragonfly 36 (which is actually a 26L, 10L is what can fit in the external mesh pockets). I live in Europe and travel budget airlines a lot, which only allow a personal item at no extra cost. Being a big guy, a 26L bag looks small enough on me to pass as a personal item and not get measured.
