I wish I found the perfect pack by now but there is still so much room to grow in the backpack market. After researching about 50 bags from all known brands in this solar system I can say that the one I need is not among them. Looking for a bag in 40-45L range with load adjuster, hip belt, compression straps, 16inch laptop case, no dividers so I can carry a tripod, water bottle holder on the outside and no billion different small useless pockets. All of the above below 3,6lbs. BTW thanks for the review.
@@sgtparadox yea I understand the struggle,. But there should be a bag that fits your needs.. what would you use the bag for? sounds like the weight is going to be the hardest thing to hit at that size. May I ask what the load lifters and compression strap are for? Those suggest hiking pack features but you also want to carry a laptop? So maybe not hiking?
@@EDG I plan to 1.5bag SEA for indefinite time. I in need the compression straps to keep my camera gear (about 15lbs) in place and stop it from flopping around. Also i will check the bag due to weight limitations and have my electronics in a temporary smaller bag to carry on the plane and for daily excursions. In other words the bag needs to grow once I arrive at my destination so I can put everything back into one bag and keep my arms free. I am currently looking at the eagle creek 40L or three peaks nomad 42L. Duffle bags were considered but the padding and straps dont seem to perform for longer carry sessions. + I can't get most of the bags being from Europe...
@ very nice! Best of luck. Eagle creek is great and known for being lightweight. I hear you on the duffel thing. Let me know which one you choose, I’m interested! Nice to see someone very analytical and specific on what they want.
Great upload. Seems like a great one bag option. I have the stubble and co roll top 20ltrs and I love it. I was thinking to buy this to upgrade my Osprey farpoint 40 but I decided to stick with Osprey for the time being.
Thanks! Oooo what year did you get the far point? Is it the most current version? I just reviewed the farpoint 40 and scheduled the video release. What made you stick with the farpoint?
@@EDG I had the old version but I have sold it due to the laptop compartment was at the front of the bag. I’ve got the new version last year and the reason I kept the farpoint is the simplicity. No mesh pockets just a one single compartment. Gives me the freedom to pack the way I want to pack. Haven’t had the adventure bag so I can’t compare the two but the Osprey is extremely comfortable to carry when it’s fully packed.
@@EDG just stumbled upon your review of this. I need to order something this week and right now it's between this and fairpint. Any insight on which to get would be appreciated. thanks!
What are people saying about the zippers? I found them to be not the greatest zippers I've ever used, but still usable. The main issue I had was on the clamshell part. The zippers are too small, but mostly theres nothing to grab onto to open the zippers. For example, if im pulling the zipper with my right hand, my left hand just kinda had to grab the slippery waterproof material at the bottom to get the zipper going. It was less of an issue when the pack is weighed down with stuff. But really just a minor inconvenience in that clamshell. All other zippers were fine. If you're unsure about this bag, Cotopaxi just refreshed their Allpa packs to add a bottle pocket and passthrough. I just released a video on their 28L, but alot of it applies to the 42L size. And the Cotopaxi is $20 cheaper.

I'm so happy they showed the inside. But it's so pricey? Do you know how much guarantee you have with that company ?
@@Knowledge4knowledge what do you mean by how much guarantee?
@EDG I meant to ask how long of a guarantee you got on the bag 🎒
@@Knowledge4knowledge I believe it’s 2 years warranty
Thanks so much @@EDG

@@MrVeslo hi, what’s your budget and what are a few things you like about bags/priotize? And what do you not like about a travel bag.
Am I losing my mind? I can swear this video was out already released. Regardless, I appreciate the content you upload. I like your style.
Had to reupload because I corrected some information from the original. Thanks for the love! I got a bunch of videos lined up for release. stay tuned.
Most reviews are complaining about the zippers... esp the internal zippers... which is stopping me from getting this. How did you find this?

@@EDGThanQ for such prompt response. The reviews are from customers on their site. But thanks to your other videos, I am leaning towards Tomtoc.
@@BalajiS-b1i glad ot help. the tomtoc is like 1/4 the price so itll save some money
@@EDG so true….
@@BalajiS-b1i cool, lemme know if I can answer any other questions.
