@@rockyescape8989 it’s a dope sling for sure. It’s one of the few I regret selling, I occasionally visit the Boundary site and peruse it, hovering over the buy button.

@@DT-vc7hd You’re absolutely right! A QA pocket would have taken it to a new height. And even, possibly a bottle pocket, even though I’m not sure how they’d do it. Still, beautiful bag. Wish I could have had more of a use for it. I really want a Bleu De Chauffe.

@@exergyone7164 yeah for sure. Totally get that. Two things: I don’t usually carry a water bottle, I mainly have a can of Coke Zero or a monster energy drink. Also, I feel that, within reason, I shouldn’t need to change my behavior for a bag, the bag should adapt to my behavior. So, although I don’t expect a bottle pocket to carry a huge 42 oz Nalgene or hydroflask, I do expect it to hold some of the most common sizes in existence (the basic can).

@@ofthetraveler I understand your point but somewhat disagree. In my case I don't need to change my behavior as I am already into slim bottles and have been for quite a while. They're just so convenient in a variety of cases. Regarding changing my behavior, which I would agree in some cases, I no longer purchase backpacks without a side handle or with a side handle positioned for left-handed use / right shoulder swing. I just find it so annoying. I am not willing to move my watch away from my left wrist, as 90% of the world. I think I am with you on the cobra buckles positioning and the zippered side pockets; the dump pockets with the flap seem like enough.

@@exergyone7164 one of the beauties of carry is the variety. Something for everyone.

I would love to review a Bannoch Pro as the classic Bannoch is the backpack I’ve used the most over the last four years, hands down. Trakke has never sent me anything, so I’d need to buy it myself, and I just bought a Wilboro Revival, so it may be a bit until my wallet recovers 😂

It’s a tough one to get right, which is probably why so many makers don’t do it for fear of invalidating an otherwise good design. The Mystery Ranch District Pro did it very well, but then again, that bag isn’t the most high-end bag out there.

Thanks for being here, I appreciate it.

@@cafeapaka7501 It’s called a Travel backpack, so it’s used during travel - transit and once at the destination as EDC, given its capacity. Not everyone uses packs the same way, irrelevant of the intention of the designer. Glad you’ve found the way it works to fit your use case 👏 👏 👏

@@ofthetraveler true, totally agree - not everyone uses a pack the same way but some packs are designed to be used a particular way whether a user does so or not (design can dictate use) - I don’t use the PD 30 L for this reason as it is not logically setup for ease of access during travel because of the lack of a deeper admin front pocket - still an incredible pack but again, some packs will logically steer you for certain use cases.

@@zclaus9642 that’s certainly a valid perspective. But I’d argue that the grand majority of people who use a “travel” bag like this, will be putting a laptop inside. Especially since Peak Design is a very tech/photography centric company. Still, if a minimalist laptop compartment is your jam, I am glad you found something that works for you.

That’s a good point. Unfortunately, because of what I do for a living, I always take my laptop. I’d love to not have it 😂 Still, even without the laptop, the way this bag opens causes the bottom to fold in on itself, and I am not a fan. It’s a minor thing, but it’s there. Thanks for the comment!

That’s a good point and I agree, there’s way too many little pockets and toiletries come in 1000 different shapes. I prefer just a large compartment or in this case two divided compartments. I barely used the little pockets - everything I put in was in the two main compartments. I love my Bellroy Toiletry kit for this reason.

@@Medsas You’re absolutely right. In a few of this trips, the luggage I was rolling around with was my toddler’s 😆

@@kurtthecat3995 You describe it perfectly. That’s the sweet spot right there. A bag I love but never keep because of perceived durability issues is the Wandrd Prvke, it suffers from having a weird opening into the main, where the weight of the entire pack is on the zipper.

@@ofthetraveler I'll check that bag to see what you're describing. It's the same with the Pakt bags, all great features, but why the heck is the laptop sleeve in the middle of the clamshell? It affects expandability. Just put it in the back of the bag. I figured if I ever get the Pakt bag, I would cut out the laptop sleeve.

@@comeatime-rg2yl I am still using it! In fact, I just took it on a family trip last week. The fabric is amazing, still holding up strong and looks almost brand new. It’s one of my favorite fabrics. Also, stains do come off very easy. No issues there.

@@ofthetraveler I have bought it earliear in this fabric. This video motivated me tho haha. I was expecting Nightsky in Venture Ripstop nylon that I adore and think thats is one of the most versetaile and malleable materials but the seller have seneded me Baida Nylon but now I got it i really enjoy it.

@@Rydal1 This one is the 30L and it enough for short trips, maybe a week at most, or if you’re a very minimalist traveler. The 45L can easily get you multiple weeks worth of travel. The different between the everyday backpack and these is how the internals are laid out. The travel bags open up clamshell like luggage and are purpose designed for using the PD packing cubes.

@@docm6310 Sorry to hear that. The weekender has since been discontinued. The classic weekender is what they’re offering now, I haven’t used it yet, but I think it responds to a lot of the issues I had with this particular bag.

@@annikadunkel3093 Hey Annika, I didn’t really go over the differences because the older version is no longer available, and the newer version is better in virtually every way. The closure is better, the materials are better, the pocketing is better, and the organization is better.

@@ofthetraveler thank you, here in the USA both versions are available which is why I asked, but I ordered the newer one. Thank you for your video.

Hey there! Technically, the No Reception Club bag is 24L vs. Huhu’s 20L. But… there’s a couple of caveats. Number 1 is that not every manufacturer measure capacity the same. So those numbers may be superfluous. Number 2, it depends how you like to pack. If you want lots of built in organization than the No Reception Club may be the way to go; but if you want a more free flowing experience that can change and adapt a bit more frictionless as the times and kids change, than the Huhu bag will pack better. Hope that helps.

You’re absolutely right. One of the reasons, that, time, I’ve gone to more natural materials like canvas and leather for the bags that I keep long term.

That’s awesome. If you’re someone who uses pouches or aspires to, this can fit a nice niche within your loadout. Let me know how you like it.

@@ofthetraveler Yeah, yeah... I really adore pouches... and use them... I will let you know when I get it. Thank you for sharing...

Hey Miles, I took it internationally to Canada and to Spain on separate trips and had no issue with the overhead bin. Also, no issue with the TSA at any of the airports.

Thanks so much! I hope you found it useful.

Hey Dylan, I had my Surface Book 2 in there which is 13.5 inches and there was a ton of space left. I don’t think you’d have an issue with 14.5. I just upgraded to a Surface Studio Laptop 2 which a discreet NVIDIA 4050.

Good question! The two approach the same issue (diaper/child bag, but can be used as an adult bag) from different angles. Where the No Reception Club bag focuses on organization at the expense of ease of use, the Huhu bag has less organization but is a near-frictionless experience. Also, Huhu has a better hand feel and looked more “premium.” Your mileage may vary, but for my family, we pretty much only use the Huhu bag now, my sister sometimes uses the No Reception Club because she wants the bag to do the organization for her, whereas I like to use my own pouches and such. Hope that helps.

That makes sense! Thank you!

Ooooo that’s a great idea! Good call, Dale.

Hey Ian, thanks for sharing! Glad you’ve been enjoying the Bairn. It’s been my daily driver for a bit now unless I’m reviewing something. I agree, internal pocketing would be nice for some, but for me, I have pouches that I use for different things. I am eyeing the Bairn Pro!

How waterproof is the fabric?

@@metteby I wouldn’t say it’s waterproof. It’s certainly water resistant, enough for a light rain or accidental spills. But, I definitely wouldn’t want to take it out in a downpour or even for extended periods in light rains. Especially since the holes it leaves because of the flap would allow some water to get in.

Good question. I haven’t had too much dust and lint accumulate on this pack, but when I have been a bit OCD about it, I run a lint roller through it. Or…or…I clean it with mild dish soap and a sponge, let it dry, then I hit it with the emulsion spray Trakke sells to reproof the bag :)

Oh man! Give Peak Design a look; if you like Aer, you’ll like Peak. I think on most conventional airlines, you may be able to get away with this at the 27L zippered up mode as your personal item. Budget airlines would be a gamble, I’ve been reading that Frontier is legit putting everyone’s backpack in the measuring box.

@@ofthetraveler oh I would never fly Frontier. Delta and United flyer here. Yes I’ll take a look into it. Need a new bag ideally to put 3 pairs of shoes lol. They usually take one side of my carry on lol

Hey Dave! Thanks for this very detailed comment. I’ve used the Tech Kit for work, but now just keep it in my car because it’s so big. I carry an Aer Compact Tech Kit and it’s been perfect. I’d agree that there needs to be load lifters on these bags. As someone who has used the Synik, Pakt, and Minaal, which has been your favorite. I’ve toyed with the thought of reaching out to Minaal to send me something - I feel they’re a great brand that’s not talked about enough. Good tip with recognizing the limitations of the rivet, I’d not actually thought about that!

@@ofthetravelerI take the Synik out on shorter business trips now (1-3 days). The Minaal has been great taking it on longer trips. I took it on a 2 week European cruise last year... but I packed quite minimally. I'm going to take the Peak Design bag out on an upcoming Alaska trip (because it'll give me 45L to pack - I just have to be careful with the weight). The rivets on the PD bags are great for the convenience of tucking the straps away, just be careful when lifting under load. I wasn't and paid the price.

@@dave.in.oregon great tips. I appreciate you sharing that. I’ll keep it in mind to mention during the review and hopefully some folks read what you wrote.

You bring up a good point in terms of the tablet sleeve! That would be a good location and pretty secure from it being stolen easily. Generally, I prefer it be slightly easier to get because so often my hands are full and I’ll ask my wife to reach in and grab the passports for me while I’m still wearing it. Evergoods CTB35 does a good job of having dedicated volume for specific pockets. But you’re absolutely right, it’s a matter of choice and what is more important to you. As someone that has traveled with a number of bags, the method Peak Design used is the one most go with.

It’s been on my radar for sure since I do love Trakke stuff, but I’d probably get a Bairn Pro before a Portabello, mainly because I currently use my Bairn all the time for a number of applications, not just business. I agree, though, I wish they’d widen the Bairn to allow for a 14 inch.

Haha, thanks! My daughter says I look like the villain from the Disney movie Wish 😂

@@ofthetravelerhahaha king magnifico!
