I've been searching for the perfect daily carry bag for walking and biking - something that will carry everything i need for work but also beyond. I chose the 21L rather than the EDC for a few reasons, but mostly i thought i would prefer the quick draw side access rather than two water bottle pockets, and thought i liked the interior config better in the 21L. TIme will tell if i made the right choice, but so far this bag ticks all the boxes! I'm not a photographer so likely will never be using it for that purpose. I'm hoping to use it as my personal item on planes, but i have not flown with it yet so don't know if it will fit under the seat. I've heard mixed reviews, so we shall see.
First, to get aesthetics out of the way, the colour is rich and eye-catching while still being neutral, so it goes with anything, and the look is sleek and suitable for the office. I think she's a gorgeous bag.
The low profile makes it well-suited for being on public transit or in other public spaces so that i'm less likely to accidentally backpack-assault someone standing behind me.
The straps are well padded and fit well (i'm 160 cm/5'3"); the chest strap is easy to adjust and the elastic makes it comfortable to wear. Back padding is similarly comfortable. I haven't had the opportunity to use in hot weather to see about breathability, but it hasn't been too hot wearing it over a winter parka. I also haven't had the chance to wear it while cycling, so i am interested to see how it feels when…
