I compare the older Xpac triple Aught Design axiom to the brand new ultra Axiom. I also do some quick comparisons to the ULA Dragon, Goruck dyneema gr1, and the Goruck Bullet.
I think you planned your setup around the old layout. You seem like a pouch gear guy so just adjust by using different pouches and pack for the new version. I think they removed all the zippers to reduce weight. This is a 19 liter bag, it’s not supposed to carry 22-24 liter of things. Practice packing lighter which I think you’ll adapt fine too.
Thanks for the video! I have been looking at a pre owned older model Axiom and was considering the new version. The use would be as a day pack while on the water for an up coming trip to Costa Rica. I think I prefer the older model. Huge help! Thanks!
The older version is better for me.
Thanks for posting this - helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

Happy to help!
I have 24 if you're looking
Thanks for this! Seems like the old bag had some superior features
Yep. Arguably it does indeed.
Thanks, I go for the brown color and are they water resistant or rain proof?🌧
Definitely not waterproof. Fairly water resistant
Doe's TAD replace the shoulder straps if they get worn flat?
Not sure!
