  • Thanks for watching.. In this video I share with the Timbuk2 Clark Commuter. This pack is geared toward the bike commuter however I think it makes an excellent everyday carry pack for anyone. The pack is made of top quality materials courdura, YKK zippers, TPU coating. Timbuk2 also includes a rain fly with this pack which is made of durable construction. I only have two gripes for this pack. Overall this pack is pretty excellent!

      @@TaeKwonMoe I agree 100%. That seems to be a trending thing amongst pack manufacturers. I know manufacturers are always in a constant flux of innovation, but a little tweak here, and a tweak there seem to make using the newer iteration of a pack less intuitive.

    Hey George! You can silence that velcro by going to your local Target/Walmart/whatever and buying a roll of one-sided velcro (probably in the crafts department). Then you just cut enough off the roll to place on the hook/loop part of your pack to silence it. Keep up the great work!

    Can't go wrong with Timbuk2. My messenger bag is nearly 30 years old now and for 3/4 of that time it got daily use. It took me nearly 30 years to wear through the stitching. They used a three panel design that is stitched together. Its only drawback.

  • @rlfstr
    @rlfstr 3 роки тому +1

    I ordered the Timbuk2 Robin for myself, 20L bag with a flap that closes with fidlock magnets, seems really nifty but sadly I don't think they can make magnets work on a rolltop bag. Just discovered your channel, I'm also obsessed with backpacks and you are really fun to listen to.

    Mister George, great video as always, you remember me a young Bo Ismono or Doug DeMuro (in cars); looking for your on stile. I think the most important aspect of a review is try to show all the features as deep you can, then will be for the viewer to deside if the product is what they are looking for or not.

    I love George's enthusiasm and the details he went to. But he forgot to mention a few key things:
    - The laptop section accessible from the side-zipper is the same folder pocket that's accessible from inside the pack. i.e same pocket or section that's accessible from two places. And not two different pockets.
    - I've read in a few reviews that the front of the pack gets scratches very easily and starts to look old quickly. I'm waiting for my pack to arrive in a week, would be able to validate it then.
    - And when bag is fully packed, the front pockets are practically unusable.

    • @rafferon3439
      @rafferon3439 10 місяців тому

      A year later, any updates on how easily it scratches? I've found a used one for $25 but they said it has some scratches on it. I'm not even sold on this pack, I think it's too big for my needs but that $25 price tag is really staring me down.

    That's a decent pack. Two tweaks that would make it better is if the middle front pocket was bellowed and the roll top had straps that were secured by magnets instead of that noisy a$$ Velcro. Oh and, I see you have my girl Eleanor on the shelf behind you. One.

    The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.
