If you were going for another buffalo, would you go cordura or xpac? Seems like xpac stiffness holds the structure better when bag is empty; would cordura also be similar on the 19l? Is xpac loud/noisy? Also How is evergoods cpl24 or plc20 compared to the buffalo conceal? Looking to buy first edc bag and deciding between these two brands, or i might buy from both lol
The TBB bags are definitely less spacious than the evergoods. I think getting cordura may be my preference here, though I like xpac in other bags. The Conceal bags are already rather stiff. Of those you list, I’d personally get a CPL24
Just purchased the 26L on ebay for a fair price and was wondering if the 26L is too big to be used as an EDC. In your review where you compare it to the Goruck you mentioned that the Brown Buffalo is more likable for EDC use because of the compartments. Wonder now that you have both the 19L and 26L if the bag feels too big.
Honestly, the 19l and 26l conceal packs don’t feel like there’s as much of a size difference as, say, the Tom Bihn synapse 19 and 25 have. It’s just a few inches difference in a few directions, so if the 19l isn’t too big, I don’t think the 26l is either. I recently used the 26l conceal pack to take all my work and mobile office stuff on a short trip, and it was fine for me.
I don't think these have lockable zippers. You could always do something like get a lock through the pulls, but I'm not sure if that's the level of security you're looking for.
How tall are you? I read on carryology that they only recommend the 26l for 5'10" or taller? Do you think it would fit a 5`5“-5'8" individual?
I’m 5’9”. The 26l is big, but not too big for me… May be huge on 5’5”
Thanks Andy for the video, but for the next video, you can try to use a microphone, it was a bit complex to hear well. Thanks again! :)
Haha its awesome that you have both liter sizes available for the cb!
I was fortunate to get decent prices on both! I likely wouldn't have bought both sizes new, and idk when I'll end up getting a chance to use them.
@@AndyModellBackpacks would you want to get rid of the smaller size by any chance?
Great quick review! Thanks for helping out, I like the bag with the side pocket on the same side
Yeah, it's really confusing why they'd use different access sides for these.

Also note that TBB will be closing in October. So if you're looking to get the bag first and attachments later, you probably won't be able to do so
I know somebody who’s ordering the laptop sleeve now and planning on buying a bag used.

@@AndyModellBackpacks Thanks for the response! Stoked to get mine in soon.
Danggggg sell me one of those!
I might be willing to sell the 26l. Email me at thewizard25@gmail.com
Is there a way to lock zippers on these bags?

Able Carry Max will do you right ...nice work Andy
Any chance you'd sell your 26L? I am looking everywhere to find one!
I might be willing to let it go for the right price. It does have somebody else’s name engraved on the flap of the laptop insert
@@AndyModellBackpacks How can I get ahold of you? Would love to talk price.
Sorry I didn't see this message until now. Email me at thewizard25@gmail.com
Those Crocs though.
Certainly more comfortable than most shoes
