    Great review. I love your style!! I like almost everything about this sling and was going to order, but the lack of the grab handle is holding me back. I know how important it is to have one. Just got back from Japan, and pulling down our bags from the overhead rack on the train without a grab handle would be difficult! Plus, you're right about being able to grab the sling from the passenger seat. Hopefully, V2 will have it. BUT....the biggest reason for not ordering it was your introduction of the Samurai to me. I want that sling! The orders are now closed, but I did hear from them and that it'll be 2 months before orders are opened again. Thanks for the fun review!!

Let me know if you score a Samurai!

    For myself, I always find gatekeeper clips difficult to open.

    This in a regular Evergoods 840D or 420D shouldn't cost more than the PLC20. That one even has more pockets and an actually padded laptop sleeve and it's $150. But $350 for such a simple and small bag, even in waxed canvas, is kinda outrageous. I really like the blood orange and wanted to get a CTB26 in it, but I'm a heavy sweater even w/o a backpack on, so I wasn't gonna get something with a completely non-breathable back panel and straps.

      @@UnPackD Forgot to mention I don't have a Mt. Rushmore, but I have a top 5 and it feels like we have similar taste in bags. My #1 is the ULA Dragonfly 36L in Ecopak (less crinkly than Ultra); the other 4 are in no particular order the Kaidan 3.0 GR2 (this one I don't own, sadly), because no rain flaps, the GRXC2 GR1 Samurai cause I think it's the most beautiful looking bag ever made, the CTB26 in Xpac with coyote interior, and the PD Travel Backpack 45L in yellow Xpac because it's so spacious, feature rich and configurable (I also find PD PU coated zippers to be the best in the business, even though they aren't YKK - their #10 PU coated runs smoother than a #10 YKK w/o PU coating)

      @ wow we really have similar tastes in bags, Ecopak (epx600 recor) is quickly becoming one of my new favorites. I actually WANT the Kaidan 3.0 because it doesn’t have the rain flaps. That’s why I’m rocking my GR2 Kaidan 2.0 today, no rain flaps. I have the Phoenix II CTB26 so xpac with orange interior. Sadly though I found the PD travel backpack to be uncomfortable under load. It met the chopping block long ago

      @ I know many people find the PD uncomfortable. I have no issue with it… maybe it fits me better because I’m 6’4” Might be getting them mixed up, but I’m pretty sure the Kaidan 2.0 GR2 doesn’t have the top quick access pocket; I can’t live w/o at least one pocket for my phone, keys, AirPods

      @ GR2 Kaidan 2.0 does have the QAP that’s the bag I’m using today. I’m considering selling it for the Robic version. The QAP is tight because that pocket does have rain flap and aqua guard zipper. Plus no webbing on the straps so no sternum strap

    I love this bag! Got it in olive waxed canvas and it feels amazing. 3 Things I would change - a zipper at the top to access the lid pocket from the outside too, w/o undoing the fidlocks and make the laptop compartment identical to the GR1, cause that fits my 16", while the M23 doesn't, had to get the 26L in order to fit my laptop. 3rd one is just a nitpick concerning the waxed canvas - would like a leather bottom for it. Sadly the M24 is already out and they F'd it up big time - no more quick access pockets on the sides, no more elastic sleeve on the inside... Edit: I'm 40 myself, but you don't look a day over 25

      @@houserhythm 100% agree with you, they ruined the bag with the M24 updates. Should’ve done one external WBP and kept the 2 side access pockets. A top pocket on the outside of the brain instead of the inside would’ve been clutch, just like the Trakke Bannoch Pro. I love this bag, I’m thinking of grabbing the 26L. Just saw one pop up for $150 used, I’m trying to have some restraint 🤣.

    Excellent point about the strap not being "slippery" and having grip. It's the same reason I prefer the old-school full 1000d Gorucks vs the new 210d back panels.

      @@ttg808 very valid point, for me 1000D is to grippy 🤣 it would catch my shirt and make it ride up constantly. I do like the 210D but it is slippery AF. I guess 500D would be the perfect choice but it’s gets dirty and has a tendency to collect dust and lint. Pros and cons to everything I suppose.

    I just got the CT21 Assassin second hand. My Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6 15.6 inch gaming laptop barely fits the laptop compartment. I can get the zipper around the bag but it's very tight and worrisome. The squared off edges of my computer pushes against the aquaguard zippers and I'm scared of it damaging my laptop if it's dropped or bumped up against the wrong way. It's very unfortunate because I was so excited to use this bag with my laptop but I moved the laptop in the main compartment of the bag.
