Thank you so much for the review and you're recommendations at the end. I have the older version of the Ruckpack 28 and don't like the changes they've made. The Kaban 2.0 is exactly what I was looking for. I had so much trouble finding a replacement for my backpack before finding this video.
Great video, thank you. It should be on REI's site with the pictures. I wouldn't have considered this bag with out this video. I don't need a spot for a laptop, or at least not such a dedicated one like other bags that dedicated a lot of space to it that I won't use. This one seems great and a bit smaller than my old dakine Patrol that is 36L and usually way too big 90% of the time
Awesome! I been looking for a proper bag and this is it! I have an Orca Tactical but its falling apart based on what i put it through haha! YKK Zippers is a must & this is nice!
Thank you for watching and for the support! Hopefully with the resources REI has they can expand or partner with retailers in Europe at some point in the future!
Thank you for watching! Both are really solid, this one is a little lighter and I like the organizational layout, but i like the laptop protection on the Borealis
Thank you for watching! I agree it doesn’t look as big as some other 28l bags but it can hold about as much, might be the simpler layout and the fact it doesn’t have a rigid shape

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful!:)
I love this bag. Use it for edc with a 16" hp laptop that is larger than a mbp 16 and it fits in the sleeve no problem. Also use it as a swim bag.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bag! Glad to hear it has been working out well!:)
great review, I was already leaning towards this for a day hike pack, i think you sold me!

Thank you for watching and I agree this is definitely a great option!:)
Great video I just purchased mine

Thanks so much for the review. Do you know if I can attach the 28l to the osprey farpoint 40? The ruck pack 28 seems bulky but maybe doable?
Great review Danny as always. It’s a bummer that REI products are not available in Europe, I’d really like to try out this pack.

Hey Daniel! Great video!! I would like to see the new bellroy tech briefcase if you have the chance!
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!:)
Is there a better(lighter) backpack under 200 usd that can be used for everyday use and travel as carry on? Weight is one of priorities
Can a shock cord be added to the daisy chain ?
i have no idea with locking main compartment zipper when someone still have acces to open the bag with side zipper
Thank you for watching and I agree that felt like a strange design choice
Can we put the bag under the seat with Easy Jet? ( max. 45 x 36 x 20 cm)
It’s on sale for $69.99 for Black Friday.
Thank you for watching and definitely a great price for this bag!:)
Great video

DWR coating has become a con for me. Unless it’s PFC free.
Which better with TNF borealis?
Thank you for watching! Both are really solid, this one is a little lighter and I like the organizational layout, but i like the laptop protection on the Borealis
I don't like the Terra Firma tan or black color. I wish REI (still) makes it in midnight navy blue (like for 18L) or forest green.
Thank you for watching and that’s a fair point, I’m definitely surprised this isn’t offered in more colors
Looks rather compact for 28L..
Thank you for watching! I agree it doesn’t look as big as some other 28l bags but it can hold about as much, might be the simpler layout and the fact it doesn’t have a rigid shape
Brother is this available in India?
Please reply.
Thank you for watching! I looked at REI site and it looks like they do offer international shipping so you may be able to get it
