The new standard size has a larger central open area since they removed the divider that you had between the memobottle and your powerbank. Makes the space more flexible and compressible.

I first bought the Mini Tech Bag - Did not find the "perfect" place to stand up my iPhone Pro upright & my iPad mini fit a little to snug I returned it & got the Tech Bag (mid size). I have been using it for 3 months while traveling in my Van Conversion in the Southwest. Now I have the "right" place for the most used stuff ( phone - wallet - keys - AirPods - lip balm). Every other EDC (and there is a sh*t ton that actually fits) They all found their place -- eventually! You get used to reaching for the side grab handle or at times just man handling it by the top. I exclusively carry it a sling bag (on hikes, shoping & bicycle rides) and have no interest in the accessory strap to stablize it. Since you access the bag as a sling while you are wearing it from the back a Pro Tip would be to always access the bag from the back - that way with muscle & brain memory it facilities locating what's in the bag - For me "often' without having to even look - For Real Son... The ability to stand it up is so nice as the mini did not stand up on its own & that was a PITA. So - daily use for 3 months I am very happy with the bag. The bigger one would only oblige me to add more stuff in it. - so I'll stick with this ohe. BTW fully loaded the bag weighs 5 lbs 9 oz & appears to manage it just fine!!!

I think I'd throw the Hero Clip on the straps, and certainly ditch the water bottle; I'll be very interested in learning why you like it.

[@PackingLess]

I did initially put the heroclip on the strap but it tends to slide around too much when taking it on and off. The white water bottle I really regret buying yes lol, I'm going to make a 'buyers remorse' video about it shortly, but the vapur bottle I love, I always try to carry water with me because its important to keep hydrated and its not always easy or cheap to get water when out

[@mushietofu88]

Thanks for the comparison! Do you know if the inner zippered compartment in the tech case mini will fit a passport?

[@PackingLess]

It just fits my passport, however the lip of the zip needs to be put over it to zip it up but it does fit, only just

[@PackingLess]

The inner zippered pocket on the mini does (just barely) fit a passport

[@ivanburkart2543]

Nice video! I normally take a BT mouse a charger with cable and sometimes some overear headphones. Do you think that would work on the tech case mini?

[@PackingLess]

The mini isn't big enough to fit over the ear headphones, the max is probably the best fit to fit headphones+anything else

[@ivanburkart2543]

@@PackingLess okay thanks a lot!

[@JKnivezz]

Great video! Is the stainless memobottle insulated?

[@PackingLess]

Thanks, no its not insulated unfortunately so its just a heavy metal bottle, I'll be making a video on it shortly

[@JKnivezz]

@@PackingLess thanks for the reply! Looking forward to the video, but I'll hold out for an insulated version

[@edcAdventures.]

Hello, do you think a mirrorless camera like the sony zv e10 with kit lens would fit in the max version and still have some room for other stuff?

[@PackingLess]

I think it might but only without a lens attached

[@wallerz]

Great video by demonstrating the types of items that can fit etc. What is the name of the packable backpack?

[@PackingLess]

Thank you, that backpack is the Quecha Arpenaz 10L packable from Decathlon

[@wallerz]

@@PackingLess thank you

[@dakidcalledl]

I bought the mini by accident can't even fit a book in it.. do you ever have multiuse or really use more than one at a time ?😊

[@PackingLess]

The mini is definitely for smaller items (maybe a wallet, phone and some other small edc items. I don't think you could really even fit a book in the Max one unless it was a small novel. But occasionally I do use multiple of them at the same time, as packing cubes inside of a backpack, but I wouldn't typically wear multiple as a sling at the same time lol

[@jeanneprice6736]

Is it possible to have a clasp that is not magnetic?

[@PackingLess]

They do offer a 'fidlock v buckle' version of their pro strap which fits all the bags

[@Kelvinyongyc]

what is the size of water bottle A6?

[@PackingLess]

Thats the stainless version, its 181 x 105 x 37 mm (7.1 x 4.1 x 1.5 in), 320 g / 0.7 lb, 16 oz / 500 ml

[@Dima-dc5mf]

Guys, get a MAX version if you're carrying bulky stuff, standard and mini for a slim packing

[@mrth21990]

Nice comparison! Can these tech cases be worn on waist?

[@PackingLess]

The sling is adjustable and flat so I would say yes but I'm not sure how stable it would be if it was packed heavy

[@mrth21990]

@@PackingLess yes, I guess so. My stuffs will mainly be wallet & a flip phone in general. I hope it won't be big issue

[@dakidcalledl]

Knicks colors 🙌🏾

[@alladiniraq5648]

Mini blue is RX 30 blue ocean ?

[@PackingLess]

Yes thats correct

[@georgeseriani2482]

Over time that zipper will fail loading it that full all the time
