Highly water resistant!

Thanks for the kind words. Woooooooow this is disappointing news!

I actually no longer own this bag after seeing some more pictures of how dyneema wears over time. It definitely starts showing its age after some time.

@gearbreakofficial I understand thanks

I never tried it but you should be okay for most airlines that have 18x14x8 size it is slightly larger than that but I doubt you would be stopped walking in most of the time

Yes it is! This is an older workshop version from 2018 I believe full 1000d

Also, my color settings on this video may have altered the color a bit

100% understand what your saying haha having some built in org is just nice to have. Gorucks build and warranty keep me around though!

Yup! Also the gr1 will be able to fit bulkier items like camera cubes or packing cubes much better in its main compartment. Minimal travel is much easier in gr1 but for daily carry I much prefer cpl’s layout with its independent volume pockets

filip raboch!

Good idea! Next one!

I believe it’s to hang a water bladder

I usually sell on local marketplace or eBay!

Probably not although I don’t know for sure. I no longer have this pack so I can’t test it.

I wanted a minimal travel pack that could fit under the seat on an airplane instead of using the overhead. I no longer have this pack so I’m not sure I guess it depends what kind of shoes. Jordans for instance maybe 3-4 pairs if you’re willing to squish them a bit.

Also check out ula dragonfly, evergoods CPL24 or ctb26, goruck gr1 21l for personal items

@@gearbreakofficialWhat about the North face router?

There’s no padding on the base so empty it won’t stand on its own. But if you pack it right it will!

@@gearbreakofficial thanks for actually replying! Is it pretty hard to pack it right for it to stand? Or simply putting things at the base gives it enough rigidity? I've seen videos of this bag fully packed, and when placed down, it just rocks over and falls down

@call_me_lazarus I think it gets tricky when trying to use the front organization as it’s going to make the bag front heavy

Yup I actually did this on an aer travel pack 2 I had a while back, worked great!

Same, I thought I was the only one as other reviewers don’t mention it. It’s right at the corners too. Slightly annoying but not difficult or a dealbreaker, at least

Glad it was helpful! You just gave me an idea for another video! Thank you!

I think it’s to attach gear like a mat or jacket, but I agree those plastic buckles do get banged up!

Yea it’s a shame! Otherwise solid bag

I don’t have this bag but have a different Aer XPac. No, there are no blemishes. I’ve had mine for 4 years with no issues. The sturdiness I guess would make it difficult to overpack compared to more flexible material but I have not ran into that issue. I also don’t think it’s a big deal because any material would only stretch a few millimeters more, so you’re not really going to see a big difference in capacity.

I have seen so many examples of those bumps forming on xpac in general that I would say yea all laminated fabrics will start delaminating over time depending on use, just the nature of it I guess currently. And yea the fabric has no give and is stiff it might affect packing ever so slightly but if you’re stuffing your bag to max capacity I’d say just size up to something bigger. A bag packed like that isn’t nice to use lol good luck!

Didn’t keep it long enough to break in the zippers but yes I bet they do ease up. The 1680 is definitely more abrasion resistant and will hold up longer. 🤙🏼

The website lists the xpac as .2 lbs lighter. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference in weight in the real world especially once loaded up. I would only look at the xpac for added weather resistance and a different look. Hope this helps

@@gearbreakofficial Yes it does! Thank you!

Has a new version been announced? Or are you referring to the CTB26? I do agree about the side access being a bit of an adjustment, I also prefer vertical orientation but everything else evergoods does just speaks to me. The level of design and craftsmanship, fit and ergonomics just set evergoods on another level for me. I prefer evergoods to aer or really any other brand at the moment. And I was able to fit more in the evergoods it feels more around 30-32 liters. Hope this helps! If you have the option I would recommend ordering a couple bags and returning what you don’t like. Thats really the only way to know what works for you. Cheers!

@@gearbreakofficial Thanks for the reply! I got a bit confused, but I was speaking about the CPL28 v3. I think it´s really just down to either that one or the Aer Travel Pack Small 3, but it´s interesting how you are saying that it feels more like 30-32 liters. Definitely seems like having less pockets on the front than Aer helps the main compartment, though maybe the big laptop compartment takes away from that. How does that feel?

I packed both of them to the brim using all pockets besides the laptop compartments and I was able to fit a decent amount more in the CPL28, it also is visually a little bit bigger than the aer tp3 small

@@gearbreakofficial Thanks! You have helped to remove the Aer from contention for this purchase, really appreciate it! The only problem is now the CTB has entered the contention. Have you any comments between the difference in packability between the CTB and CPL28, like how many packing cubes they fit?

Oh forsure it would fit, although it will take up more room than a packable daypack. Since the CTB is pretty spacious it shouldn’t be a problem for most trips unless you really need the full capacity. Hope this helps!

Definitely helps... thanks for the quick response

Ive heard the ones on the new GoRuck xpac packs were exceptionally bad. In my experience there are more smooth and less smooth aqua guard zippers but it’s hard to know what you’re going to get and how long they’ll take to break in. Not to mention that lamination will not last as long most of these bags are designed to and will start peeling over time. Totally agree with you about the pouches thing and rain flaps. Although rain flaps can have draw backs as well depending on the pack material. My favorite would be a standard reverse coil with DWR coating as evergoods does it, if anything over time you would probably just need to reapply DWR to the zippers.

The one I have is discontinued but I updated the description with a more popular one! Enjoy and Thank you!!

@@gearbreakofficial haha funny because the possum possibilities pouch is my favorite and I have five of them! that's why I was hoping to grab the one you had in your vid since it seems a bit bigger :D

Hahaha damn 😂 I’ll let you know if I end up finding it!

Actually I think I found it, check the description again 🙏🏼

@@gearbreakofficial awesome thank you so much!

Because the xpac is more “crunchy” and loud, I would suggest the standard material for office use. Hope that helps!

100%. Thank you!!

Made in Vietnam is definitely not a negative for me, the quality coming out of Vietnam is top notch! I actually ended up selling mine but kinda regret it tbh haha. Btw I see more quality control issues coming from made in America GoRucks compared to Vietnam so I wouldn’t worry at all!

I think if you really want the added weather resistance go with the xpac version, if not save your money and get the ballistic one!

@@gearbreakofficial I ordered the x-pac one, shipment coming in soon. I read a lot of reviews - x-pac is liked by some and not so liked by others. It was the orange interior that swayed me on the x-pac tbh, I will see how it goes.

Awesome, congrats! I’m sure you’ll love it. ✌🏼

@@gearbreakofficial Yes, really good. It's not actually 100% water proof, but will keep 90% of your stuff dry. That's good enough for me, when I was caught in monsoon-type weather recently. It's a solid backpack overall and looks high-end. Great storage and decent waterproofing.

Yea anything with zippers will never be monsoon proof haha I’m glad you liking it! 🙏🏼

Hey there! Please send me an email at gearbreakpr@gmail.com ✌🏼

Honestly it’s a great pack but in the end I prefer packs with a padded base (so it holds its shape when packing) and it was smaller than my CPL28 which I was attempting to replace. Also the zippers were a bit problematic on the xpac version though I’m sure over time they would ease up.

@@gearbreakofficial So what’s your go to travel pack? I also prefer the padded base.

Honestly I’ve accepted evergoods is probably the best brand out there for me. So for shorter trips I take the CPL28 and longer I take CTB35

Thanks 🙏🏼
