correct, Columbia outdry montrail

thank you! No i have not. thankfully the only bears we have around here are like big racoons (black bears).

I agree with this I've tested pack liner vs compression bag. No real space savings with compression sack.

HHUUHH?? okay i need to test this! i'll give it a try soon. what pack size do you have? thanks for the information.

That's a good point! I have tested it before. Believe it or not, i feel like it's more comfortable without the pad. With the pad against the back it feels bulky. Once i put the pack on, the crest conforms to my body. the only issue is if the food bag wasn't placed in correctly. a quick adjustment can make it flat. Also, another smaller issue is that the pad will get soaked if i put it there. Not just with rain, but sweat as well. Since i took out most of the back material on the c9111 except for some mesh, moisture from my back travels through it very easily. I'm definitely the odd one out! i do know a lot of people recommend this. Everyone should definitely try both options to see what they prefer. Thank you for bringing this up.

@@OutdoorOtaku It won't get soaked if you put it inside the nylofume, at least that's what I do. Will try your approach some day as it's true that it gets more bulky. Salut!

thanks Jason!

thank you! i did bring a cook set @ 3:28. in the pot is my stove, lighter, and isobutane canister. since i have the freeze dried food separating the pot from my back, it is comfortable.

let me know how the testing goes and what mods you do! about the quilt poncho- that's smart. im actually planning to do a gear mod video of the flamescreed quilt from aliexpress. looks like i'll have to do some more research. thanks!

Hey, yes it does, but you have to trim the width slightly. Like maybe 4 inches? i forgot. Also im not sure if it actually fits in the frame pocket since i cut it out. But it does fit in the same area. That's exactly what i do for some trips.

@OutdoorOtaku where do you leash your custom pad on the bag? Ok the inside? Or on the outside with some shock cord?

@@joshuakosloski6873 inside just against the fabric that touches my back.

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. glad to help. hope you enjoy your trip ! :)

no i do not. However from what i can see, they are two very different packs. One being a more traditional 40l frameless backpack and the other being a vest style 30l pack. I think it really depends on what you want to do with the pack and the gear you have. if you still dont know, just get the c9111. it's cheaper and if you cant use it backpacking, you can use it for so many other things. Day hiking, travel, biking, etc.

@@OutdoorOtaku Okay great thanks!

6'1 160 lbs

if i had the time, mental fortitude, and passion, yes i would! Maybe one day.

yeah the strap gap is what really killed this pack for me. it's unfortunate since it has potential. WELCOME TO THE AONIJIE PACK PACK! 😈i love converting people oh, i didnt know that pack existed. pretty cool. so it's body length is shorter than the aonijie c9111?

@@OutdoorOtaku yeah it's all round smaller in depth width and height on the body, and end to end on the foam back at the longest point it's 16 inches and the c9111 is 18. It fits me fine apart from the hip belt is a stomach belt unless I'm pretty much at max trap length. I'm about 6ft 2 Although most fast packs including the c9111 seem to fit a bit better higher on your back like a running vest, so maybe I'm just not destined to own a fastpack with a comfortable hip belt haha (at least at budget prices)

@@MovementDrifter that's very interesting. you'd think it's the same pack body. it looks so similar. I kinda wanna give it a try now that i know its not the exact same capacity. lol yeah most fastpacks have belly belts that ride around the waist rather than hips. i hate it cause my belly wants to be free especially after munchin on food. I dont use them now, but when i first started looking at packs that was a feature i really wanted. The only fastpacks i know of that does have actual hip belts are the ultraspire epic xt and i think some packs from montane. IIRC they also have actual stiff frames. so the hipbelt can help distribute the weight. in the end i opted against it as i found it limited my movement too much.

have not tested. im mostly doing 18lbs or less. I wouldnt want to run in 18lbs + with it. However walking/hiking may be fine. or if you have stronger shoulders than i do

at least they made some improvements. i hear you though. I hope UD can take this as a sign to innovate further .

lol what do you mean house that thing? not like you're sticking the pad in the sleeping bag xD im 6'1, so the 196 is much appreciated.

i think i'll give it a try. i dont know what to do with the straps though. i'll need to hear some ideas!

I don't think so. i think 4r for 20f is a bit low. I havent gone down to 20f before though, so ymmv. you can maayybe get away with it if you had down booties, pants, jacket, and hood. or if you layer with another quilt/sleepingbag.

no i have not done any follow up, but thats a great idea. but still no issues with the pad. i havent tested it down to that temperature again though. I dont really do winter backpacking.

All good! I ended up getting the same pad, so when I go out next I'll tell you how it fares in AU winter conditions! I'm hoping it'll be good down to below freezing given 5.8.

@@andycjohnston Yes please keep me updated! Stay safe and have fun!

heartache?! im very glad to hear that ive helped! ❤

im glad you found the video helpful! Have you tested it yet? let me know what you think. trail running is a lot of fun. For a weekend warrior like me, sometimes i gotta run in order to accomplish my goals. silicone seam sealant would be a great idea. however note that the pack material itself isn't 100% waterproof like dyneema or ultra. It is coated with something on the inside, but that will eventually wear out as mine has. It will still help though. ive never heard of Lycocell, that's interesting. i'd say test the pack first. It may not be necessary. I've never found friction to be an issue. In fact, i actually prefer the body facing fabric to be a little bit rough. that way it wont slide / bounce around too much. i have another pack called the raidlight revolutiv 24l that is made out of a very slick material. it bounces like crazy due to what i believe is the material and many other things. I like how your are thinking! keep the ideas coming.

@@OutdoorOtaku I had the chance to take it out on a few hikes and bike rides since my last comment. Overall I've been very impressed by the functionality of it. Large enough to hold anything I'd want on a day trip, but still very functional. It hugs my back well, even when I'm scrambling over a fallen tree or riding a bike. I think I agree there are a few too many straps and loose details/pockets that could be removed. I may just use silicone to coat the bottom panel for increased durability. The process I intended to use can coat entire swathes of the fabric but it's probably a bit prohibitive to do that to every part of the backpack. And like you mentioned it would make it quite slippery at that point. You're completely right about the Lycocell being unnecessary. So far I haven't had any discomfort from the straps, and definitely no lasting marks or friction burns. I intend to keep using it as my day-trip pack for the foreseeable future so if I come up with any new plans or ideas I'll be sure to swing back by!

@@AlyKatAlice Nice! im glad you are liking it. Silicone on the bottom for durability is a great idea. Come by any time

Thank you!

Thank you! I have that pack and plan to make a vid soon. However i'll let you know right now that i prefer the c9111. I wanted to love the OV Skyline, but for some reason i just dont find it as comfortable. I still havent been able to put my finger on why. The two packs are very similar.

ok thanks 👍

Will do! i've had a couple of people request for a load out vid.

hope for the best!! expect the worst.

If you are in indonesia, you can check out monte equipment. i believe that's where they are based from. I have a review of a pack from them. not my favorite but it gets the job done. thanks for watching, glad to help!

@@OutdoorOtaku i watched monte equipent on online shop, look nice, thx for the info

The adv skin 12 is a dream to wear/use. It fits so well and rides very comfortably. It's like getting a hug. I have used it a lot in the white mountains of NH. Only complaint is that it's not the easiest to take things in and out of. That would be my recommendation.

Hey Richard, thanks for the feedback. To answer your question in regards to making my own pack... how do i put this... im lazy haha but in all seriousness, i'm not a great sewer and pretty busy. I treat sewing as a way to alter something to fit me better rather than create something from scratch. One day i'd love to be able to make my own pack, but im still a bit aways from that. The smaller zip pocket at the top of the pack works better as a quick access pocket than the side IMO. i found the side to be difficult to use since when the pack is full, it can be hard to close. I also didnt use it often. but i can totally see why someone would like to keep it as well. Removing the frame is to save on weight as well as be able to bring your own frame. If you use a sit pad or a 1/8" pad you can swap that with the frame it came with. You can use both, but it's not really necessary. Or if you pack your bag carefully you can get away with no frame. I'll post a video soon on packing this bag w/o a frame. Some of these mods i agree are not 100% necessary. For example, removing the plastic part in the roll top barely saved any weight. But how do we know if we don't try! Thanks for watching and subbing! looking forward to your feedback on more of my videos.

yes it can!

Good choice! welcome to the club. let me know how you like it!

my pleasure!

hahaha thank you Paul for watching. Im glad that my visuals were good enough for you to understand. Besten DAAANNK!!

Thanks for the kind words, Paul. It's my pleasure.

And i really appreciate your comment! Thanks Paul :)

YES! a fellow waist belt trekking pole user. It's become my favorite way of carrying as well. You should check out my review/comparison of the Aonijie c9111 vs the UD 30. The c9111 has a shoulder strap pocket that is perfect for the inreach and other PLBs. it's my favorite pack

@@OutdoorOtaku I’ll check it out. 🙏🏻

thank you, you are pretty top yourself :)

thank you Christiano :)

Thank you David! appreciate the kind words. No i have not noticed any down leakage. however my usage was only like half a winter. omg no way thats a game changer if i can reverse. thank you LOL. i have it is a box now since im doing some work to my basement. but ill need to check once i have it set up. Adding MYOG is a good idea. however is it truly MYOG? IDK if the myogers will accept me if its just mods :(

my pleasure, glad you found it helpful. I did miss that! The c9111 is coated with something on the inside, but mine has since been wearing out. I assume the UD30 is also coated with something?

Glad to help. How do you like the pack?

based on this pack, surely looks like they dont.

Thank you! I will. I have been crazy busy recently. but i have sooo much planned. stay tuned

haha alright. i need ideas for the straps though. do i just snip em and manipulate them somehow? or get straps from another pack and make a Frankenstein pack?!
