I own this bag and love it. I agree with you on the grab handle, so I customized it by sewing a piece of leather around it.

Very nice review, appreciate the detailed take on the pack ;)

Sick Spitfire patches 🔥 Just picked up a 2DAP today, can’t wait to run it. Great review bro, really gave me inspiration for my loadout. 🤙🏽

Watched both your vids on this bag. Thanks for the follow-up after some use. I picked one up after watching! A few complaints I have: 1) I don't like the tri-zip feature either. I love the concept, but I find it adds time to access my stuff, unless it's at the bottom of the pack. To get anything other than the laptop, I have to unzip/zip two to three zippers vs one. 2) The upper compression strap prevents the middle of the tri-zip to unzip without unbuckling the strap. So now to get to the bottom of the bag, it's one more step. This strap is really a catch-22 because I wish my Scree 32 had the upper strap. The solution in my opinion would be to reverse the buckles on one of the side compression straps that the Scree has so that they can be strapped on the side when not needed on the back of the pack, but can be run around the pack if needed. 3) The external water bottle pockets don't hold my water bottles (Hydroflask and Klean Kanteen). I found this out the hard way when I used it on my first flight with this bag. I reached for the bag from the overhead compartment after the flight and the aluminum bottle fell and hit someone! Terrible retention. They need to change the material to make it tighter or add little straps to cinch those down, like they have on the In and Out. In the end, not sure if I'm going to keep the 2DAP because of these gripes. It's SUPER comfortable and high-quality though!

Just stumbled on this video. Nice review. You forgot about the compression straps on the front and how you can cinch it down. I have a BigHorn now since discontinued. It’s a 3000 cubic inch pack with a tri zip. Same internal pockets too. I love the tri zip. If I’m just grabbing a bigger jacket or something easy to get I’ll just unzip the front middle zipper and pull it out through there and not bother unzipping the top two.

Thanks, you make that bag look very good. Comments on harness comfort kind of sold it to me. One Question though, how good a job does it do standing up?

Great objective review. I am intrigued by the orange biners. Where did you get them?

That grab handle catches crap on the 3dap also 😂 every vlog ever made!

hydration bladders fit to the interior, if they burst/leak, the grommet in the bottom of the bag will drain off the water from inside the bag. a seamstress can sew in a button hole for hydration hoses quite easily.

Great analysis, have you used RUSH 24 of 5.11?

I’m not sure if I’m too keen on the 3 zipper look of the bag. How well does the bag work like that?

Just squirt a little black silicone in the bottom grommet and let it fill and setup. Presto waterproof!

What size were the laptops shown here? I have a brand new 16” MBP and can’t tell if it’ll fit. Thanks.

I got this same bag, and I have no complaints except for the flimsy thin grab handle. Have you tried on the 3DAP? Do you feel it would be TOO large for an EDC bag? Thanks!

Can you name those pouches and bags you store in your bag? Especially the rolled one. Would like to check them out, but sometimes it’s hard to understand their names for non native english speakers.

Could you get a camera insert and use this as a camera travel bag?

Would the Urban Assault 24L be in your sweet spot?

You mentioned you don't use it day hiking. What bag do you use day hiking?

If someone does put a water bladder inside the bag or a water bottle in there accidentally opens up, they may be real happy to have those bottom holes for the water to drain out… 👍👍

What brand is the blue hook on the side？

What is the size of the suspension in the video and how tall are you?

does black color get dirty easily?

I tend to disagree with u about he handle and drain ports. If your thinking military wouldn’t padding end being destroyed after years of service? nylon webbing is all that’s needed and is super strong. And if you’re in a war-zone and you may have to deploy into water unknowingly, you’re going to be screwed if the water doesn’t drain out when you get onto land. And the nylon webbing doesn’t let any water in on wet ground. Only if u put your bag down in a small pool of water. Which in that case it’s not fully waterproof and the water will drain out anyways

What is your backpack size? Your torso length? Your height?

What size is the bigger laptop?

Heard you say you didn't like the holes in the bottom. If you're really concerned about this. You can use a heavy duty 33 gal trash bag to hold your gear. This bag can also be used as a water holder in a survival situation. I have the Spree 32 backpack. But just ordered this one because of the molle system. I prefer to be able to grab my fire kit or fist aid kit ASAP when in a Day hike. The pack will be used also for my dog. When we go hiking, I make sure we have a basic survival setup. You never know what will happen when your out walking in the woods. Everyone have a great day. Anyone with any other mods for this bag, please comment. P.S. the light carry handle can be beefed up using a cobra weave of the survival 625lb Paracord and some artificial sinew sewed into the pack

How tall are you?
