I really appreciate the attention to detail in these reviews! I'm under the impression that the Tropicfeel Nest and Hive have a lot of similarities, but I'm on the fence about which one to get. Is there a review for the Hive in the works? If not, I would love to see one in the near future.

I am very happy with my purchase. It is small enough for daily carry, but can also expand with the packing cube for traveling. I can fit 1 week of clothes for going to the seaside. The only issue I have is securing the packing cube with spider net, even if i don't fill it up to the max. My solution was to tie two pieces of string to the loops in order to make this easier.

@@sincerelysof I have the green one. It got a few grey marks and obviously doesn't look new anymore (After 10 month of heavy everyday ise and travel). But I think i could wash it by hand and it would look pretty nice again. If you want a bag that looks really nice all the time maybe you should go for a darker color. My girlfriend has the black one (she loved mine so she bought one for herself) and hers looks as good as new. She even brings it to her fancy-ish office everyday.

Hey! I have a question for you. I am considering to buy The Hive as well, just one concern I have is the positon of laptop sleeve, it is on the front side and I am worried about the weight distribution. However, some people are saying it is actually not an issue. Could you give your input on this matter, does it compromisses anything or not? Thanks in advance 😁

@@akrom9854 to be honest, I haven’t had any issue with the laptop compartment, it’s actually well done, has nice padding and my laptops haven’t suffered any issues with it.

I was part of the kickstarter for this bag and was so excited but I sadly had a few issues that caused me to return it. First I personally was not a fan of the camera cube which was the main reason I bought it I wanted a bag that was super customizable and wasn’t always a camera bag. But I felt like their system for the camera cube was severely lacking. It did not feel secure (to me) at all. 2 strips on the sides and I look though on the main flap was not enough for me. Then the actual camera cube did not seem very padded. I wanted to like this pack but even if I could look past the camera cube issues I got a bag that have a few quality issues. So I ended up returning everything. I will say the packing cube was super unique and you could pack a lot into it. I’ll consider the hive but I think it has the same system for the camera cube. I just can’t seem to find the right bag for me 🤦🏽‍♀️

They said the same thing to me but I had a ton of of issues. 1) shipping box was completely destroy upon arrival 2) missing items (packing cube had to be shipped separately because it was missing) 3) the button that hold the camera cube flap literally fell of after the second use 3) exchange was super annoying and such a hard process 4) their communication was terrible as well So eventually I told them I would be speaking to my lawyer friend to see what I could do and then they said they would be making an exception and giving a refund

Pro tip: unless you are a garbage human, do not use a BT speaker while during a bike or hiking.

@PackHacker2 Жыл бұрын

Whereas we tend to agree wholeheartedly-doing so while cycling through a city isn’t much different from listening to your car radio with the windows down 🧐 Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

Also not a fan of people who blast music with the car windows down, unless they're on the highway or they turn down their music when slowing down. :(

@xPsychoBunny Жыл бұрын

@@PackHacker2 it is vastly different, as unless you blast music in your car with all windows open, listening to music in your car doesn't invade the public space with your decibels. Also, as a cyclist myself, I can guarantee that blasting music on a BT speaker will distract you from noise cues while cycling, which are super important (an incoming car, a child running) for your safety and that of others. If you are focused on your music and crash into something, you are more likely to be seriously injured as you're not protected by your car. And it is just basic courtesy NOT TO INVADE PUBLIC SPACE WITH YOUR MUSIC.

As a consummate traveler who prefers simple cavernous bags wherein I can choose my packing cubes and Tech pouches this would be a nightmare for me. The only saving grace would be if the interior of these bags were not black. I could then possibly see using lots of modular pieces if I could see them when I reach in quickly. This just looks like a black hole to me. I checked on the the website and it seems to be the case with most of their bags. Thumbs down.

It will depend significantly on the size of your camera and lens, but a smaller outfit should fit! There may be room to bounce from side to side, so it might be wise to stuff an article of clothing first to negate this. -Eric
