    I have several bags that I have custom ordered from Packolab including a 37L travel pack, matching cargo sling and several Samurai slings and they are among my absolute favorite bags! The construction and quality is top tier and you can have it made using any colors or materials you want. I definitely recommend them! Great review as always!

    recently ordered one and had mine built in. completely agree with you; a removable admin panel seemed unnecessary and just takes up valuable space.

    I love this sling. Definitely think it looks better with RE’s or maybe like some of the more oddly shaped bigger Matsuda patches. 4:50 people in some parts of Asia still carry magazines but they are bigger and better than what peps in the states are use to. Photo magazine or like a much better, much better version of what we in the punk scene called zines, are becoming popular in certain parts of the US and other countries I would imagine as well.

    The side pocket to a clamshell opening? idk what it's called but yeah technically where the zipper would fall into pocket and keeps the opening of the bag upright instead of spilling out i never seen that kind of innovation before. where it utilizes as a pocket and that clamshell opening.

    This is a really cool one. Thanks for showcasing smaller makers from around the world - I'm actually of both Chinese Malaysian and Ukrainian descent, so bonus points for featuring both Greenroom and this brand :)
    If I may, I'd like to offer a gentle bit of advice: "The Ukraine" was the Soviet-endorsed English designation for what was once a region of the Russian Empire and later a Soviet satellite republic. "The" Ukraine carries the implication that it's not a politically defined region in its own right, but a sub-region of another one. Think "I was in Oregon" versus "I was in THE Pacific Northwest."
    "The Ukraine" was the offical moniker in the west from the Cold War well through the '90s, and it does kind of roll off the tongue. So I totally understand it being second nature.
    But now more than ever, it's important to re-assert Ukraine's status as a nation and its right to sovereignty and independence.
    Don't worry, it's not some major faux pas that will cause grievous offense to any Ukrainian in earshot. But these linguistic details do matter in our public discourse. You'll note that journalistic best practice has widely shifted to drop the "the" since 2022. Even so, I've still seen news anchors occasionally slip up.
    Another Ukrainian maker that might interest you is Riot Division. They mainly focus on technical clothing, but they have some interesting lightweight sacoche and waistpack offerings.

      I forgot to mention, Keep is another interesting brand based out of Ukraine, though I don't personally have experience with their products. Their lineup is a weird mishmash of casual canvas bookbags and tactical bags made from technical materials.

      This bag was pre-made by Borys, so he made all the choices and then listed 4 bags at the same time, all variations on this theme. This was the one that spoke to me.

    How does this compare to Greenroom136's PRIME offerings? I have the SLINGSHIFTER01, METRORUNNER01, and METROMONGER01 arriving this week-and just impulse-purchased the Samurai today (someone couldn't pay for it.) Thanks for the review!

    • @ThePerfectBag
      @ThePerfectBag  7 місяців тому +1

      well, this is a distinctly different feeling sling than the Greenroom136 slings. This one is a like a Mini-Metromonger in shape, which is a really useful size. This has some really funky pocketing too - although there are lots of different versions of this bag out there. You'll find uses for all of them, but which ones you use the most will come completely down to what you carry on the daily.

    You asked "how do you get these?" and it cut to that Indiana Jones advert where they have to do the water displacement in Archimedes' tomb. I know you'd said the process was a bit involved, but I didn't guess it would involve having to solve ancient puzzles!
