I think I want to upgrade to the 26l. The consensus seems to be that it’s a great travel bag. Question is which material 🤔. Absolutely love the Robic but waxed canvas has really grown on me after getting the Bannoch Pro.
Love your presentation and channel man. But have to strongly disagree. This bag has more quick access than anything this side of a Tom Bihn maybe. Front zip has tons of room and easy to get to. Side Quick access is just that with perfectly placed organization. Has a side interior zip to get access to the inside without opening it up fully. Then the water bottle pocket is maybe slower than a typical sleeve style but wouldn’t say slow. Then, once you open it with 2 awesome fidlocks. You’re greeted with a quick top zip lid. Another top zippered compartment ready to grab what you need. And with all that, you still then have your carnivorous interior. I love mine as well. I have the 26L and again, it’s just a joy because everything has its place and is easily accessible.
I agree with you! People shy away from top loaders because they feel it’s inconvenient and slower to grab things but to your point it’s absolutely accessible. The consensus I got online was 2 Fidlocks was too much work for most people 🤣🤣. This bag is well laid out and a joy to use. I think I want to upgrade to the 26L. Thanks for your feedback, it’s much appreciated and thanks for stopping by! Much love.
Hi! This one I had the strap and dock made for me. I did the laser engraving on the buckle. You can find Fidlock straps on Amazon but the quality isn’t the best. I can put you in contact with the guy who made mine if you’d like. Shoot me a email and I’ll get you that info. unpackdwithjohn @ gmail
Good review man, I basically have the same edc items so it was really helpful to see how this bag would handle everything. After having cheaper made bags and even some that were supposedly “brand name” bags that broke and everything else, I’ve learned it’s better in the long run to spend a little more for a bag made with premium materials that will last a lot longer. Thanks for the review
@@NATO-SOCOM yes! I’ve adopted the “buy once, cry once” philosophy after wasting money by buying cheaper gear. Thanks for stopping by and sharing some kinds words, brother 🤝
Would you use the M23 21L for minimal travel at all? The 26L apparently holds more up to 40L-ish, which I'm thinking may be too massive for 4-5 days of travel.
@@BiggDeli depends on your travel and packing style but for me I can absolutely fit 4 days worth of gear in it without even having to expand it. You can easily add 5-7 liters by expanding the lid. In my Dragonfly video I packed it out for 4 days of travel, I can fit all that in my M23 also.
@@UnPackD Appreciate the response! I just watched your Dragonfly video and we more or less pack the same for short trips. Thinking a shoe pouch can take place of the CAP2 in my case, and if that all fits in the M23 for you, should do the trick for me!
@@BiggDeli I think you’ll be good to go! And if you’re buying straight from Goruck you’ll have the free return option if it doesn’t fit your load out. I have seen some good deals on the second hand market. Tidal blue ones you can find for $130 and blacks ones I’ve seen as low as $160. Thanks for checking my videos, i appreciate you 🙏🏽
Really enjoy your videos. Nice work.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I have the 26l and was able to pack my clothes and a smaller 10l edc backpack inside for a multiday business trip. Worked great!
