I love this channel, i know this is probably the first time you did a segway to your newsletter, it started to feel like LTT (Linus Tech Tips) and i find that funny. One thing i like about this channel, is that yes it might be redundant to other bag reviewer channels to show the full empty bag then show how it looks full (some channel just start with full then start pulling things out of the bag) but i prefer the other way around where you put things in. because.. 1. You really get to see how it looks like empty, because you're not too focus on pulling things out, forgetting to mention pockets and other stuff. 2. You can show more options what you can actually fit in like occasionally you put a water bottle or a jacket as a test and it's really nice to see that.
I got this sling, but changed the strap as it eats into my skin and not very comfortable. I bought a nice replacement strap from Oliver Bonas and its lovely. I like that it has a lot of pockets but you don't have to use them all.
Hey Aaron, love your videos! I have a somewhat unrelated question: I’m currently deciding between the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L and the Mous Extreme Commuter Backpack. I really appreciate the Nomatic’s organization, but I’m also drawn to the Mous Extreme Commuter’s level of protection, especially since I’ll be carrying a lot of tech along with my everyday school essentials. I’ll also be studying abroad soon, so I might pack some clothes in the backpack, though I’ll have a separate suitcase for the bulk of my clothing. Right now, I’m leaning toward the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on which one might be the better option for my needs. If you have any other backpack recommendations, I’m open to it, but right now I’m debating between these two. Thanks for all your great content, Aaron! :)
I think both will work out great for you! Mous gives you a bit of extra protection and a bit better value, so I might lean towards that. For me I love the Sympl Commuter Pack, Modern Dayfarer Backpack, and Fyro T22 (which for disclosure is my bag)
Thanks! But the thing is, I love the 22 pockets that the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L offers. Also, I don’t really mind the cost, as my budget is well above the price of those backpacks. One request: Would it be possible for you to make an in-depth comparison video between the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L and the Mous Extreme Commuter Backpack? Of course, this is just a request, so you don’t have to do it, but it would be really nice if you did! :) (I'm also a BIG fan of your t22 backpack!)
@ thanks dude!! Unfortunately the versus videos we’ve done in the past performed very poorly so we don’t do them anymore. But I’m happy to answer any questions if you got em!
I’m about to study abroad, and I’m small in stature, so I want a backpack that balances organization with protection. I’ve been considering both the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L and the Mous Extreme Commuter Backpack. The Nomatic has amazing organization, but I’m drawn to the Mous for its protective features, which is really important since I’ll be carrying a lot of tech. However, the Mous isn’t as accessible in terms of organization because some parts are hard to reach. My main question is: does the Nomatic Travel Pack provide sufficient protection for my devices, even though it doesn’t offer the same level of security as the Mous? Also, I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Nomatic’s zippers-are they durable and reliable, or do they have issues? Additionally, does the Nomatic Travel Pack 20L qualify as a carry-on for most airlines? And I’ve heard some complaints about its comfort-does it really feel uncomfortable for long periods, or is that exaggerated? By the way, it’s totally fine if you’re unable to make the versus video-I completely understand, but I’d appreciate any input you have on these questions! Thanks again for all the great content!
Had this sling, but ended up giving it to family since there were a lot of little things that didn't work for me. Too much organization, strap and buckle placement, and not a fan of the center push style bucket since it comes off super easy, and doesn't feel as secure as other magnetic buckles in my experience. Really hope they release a product that's a bit more travel focused cause I love the materials they're using.
Actually, the gated clips/lockable g hooks are pretty easy to open. If you press together the plastic parts, the iron gate slides back by itself and then you can just push open the hook.
personally owning the black ember tks, this looks to be a better product pocket wise but that fit kills it. Same thing with the tks. It just flops down and doesn't lay flush against you. Something I wouldn't think would bother me but definitely does.
@@Nomads.Nation It is a german company. That explains maybe why. They also have a youtube account. But with just shiny presentation videos. And I usually do not trust such things
🔥 Check out my bag on Kickstarter! 👉🏼 go.nomadsnation.com/fyro-t22
Waited like 10 months for this bro. I still remember your post showing a bunch of products that you were reviewing and finally you got to this😂
sry dude, we have so many bags to review its insane... might have to start a patreon so we can grow our team and get more reviews live faster
@Nomads.Nation lol no worries. I like the frequency already. Just this particular bag i had to wait a while lol
Same exact thing here! Got so excited when he got all the gear 😂😂

thanks for your feedback and glad to hear our reviews are helpful for ya!!
The compartment reminds me of Alpaka Elements Tech Case, but better.
a bit yea!

nice call on the strap!

I’m also not concerned about the weight or the cost btw :]

would like to see your review on crumpler products like the goose large and some of their backpacks
I’d love to review a Crumpler bag, hopefully soon!

thanks for sharing!
I hope we get a Sympl All Terrain Tote review soon! 🙏🏼
It’s in the pipeline but it’ll be a while 😬
Aaron, any suggestions on a lunch/cooler bag? Preferably not the usual suspects like Igloo, Rtic, etc. Thanks in advance!
I haven't tested any myself so can't say for sure, but we've been getting a lot of requests for this recently so something we might look into soon!
Actually, the gated clips/lockable g hooks are pretty easy to open. If you press together the plastic parts, the iron gate slides back by itself and then you can just push open the hook.
I respectfully beg to differ, always have trouble with those fuckers lol
personally owning the black ember tks, this looks to be a better product pocket wise but that fit kills it. Same thing with the tks. It just flops down and doesn't lay flush against you. Something I wouldn't think would bother me but definitely does.
agreed
Review sympl x Pedal Mafia Commuter Sling Bag please
not on our radar currently, but I'll take a look into it 💪
I mean the sling isn't bad at all but their branding is still a no go for me. Might be opting for the Toshi!
Toshi is killing it right now!!
Interesting as a tech pouch, but the angle of the strap mount would bother me. Strap seems kinda narrow for how much you can fit in it.
Its the biggest downside imo. I had to buy a different strap to make it a bit better
Solid tech pouch, not sold about sling-mode
Better than black ember’s TKS 😭 I’ll never forget about that damn thing, hated my life using it 😂 love their bags tho
I loved the TKS at first… until I quickly fell out of love with it lol
the lining design is called topographic.
appreciated!
Hi. Can we have a review if the Kapten & Son Bali Backpack. There is no objective review on youtube. Thanks for your work
Never heard of it but I’ll check it out!
@@Nomads.Nation It is a german company. That explains maybe why. They also have a youtube account. But with just shiny presentation videos. And I usually do not trust such things
You can never have too many pockets Aaron 😂 just not possible!
For me you definitely can haha! But I respect that you are an organizational ninja 🥷
@ why thank you! 🥷 😂
Love the design, but the branding in the front and on the top handle is way too loud for me. Such a shame
quite loud
Curiously why don’t we ever review incase products? They have some solid bags
hoping to soon, I've heard good things!
I don't like the strap and the way it's integrated into the bag. I do like the interior organization though.
pockets on pockets on pockets
Peak Design did this as a sling too. It kinda sucks. Bulky and unwieldy.
yea thats why I think it's a much better tech pouch than a sling
Not much difference from other sling bags like alpaka and belroy
some things, but slings are slings
Nope. Too much branding.
definitely a bit lout imo
