Wow. I never comment on videos and I’ve seen dozens of reviews about this sling, but I really appreciate your thoughtful commentary on the real user experience of using this sling in practice, your preferences for a slimmer config, and with all the caveats that come with it. It’s like you made this video for me 🥹 as I have the exact same preferences and you answered all my questions. Thank you!!

Any idea the dimensions of this bag? I'm looking for something around 18" high, 12" wide and 6" deep. I'm looking for something between 20 and 25 liters, and the Brown Buffalo 21 is tempting but looks just a little too tall.

@CarryQuandaries 16 күн бұрын

@@hunsinger its about 17x11x6 it’s on the smaller side, maybe about 19L. I tried the TBB and it’s indeed a bit tall. Hope u find the right pack for you!

Thanks for the review! The concept of the 4 zippers is really interessting and seems to be very practical. I would be a bit worried about theft while being in a croud or in public transportation. Is there a loop to secure the buttom zippers if needed?

@CarryQuandaries 4 ай бұрын

My pleasure! I absolutely love the 4 zips and it’s one of the reasons i can’t see myself going back to a regular 2 zip pack. But i get your concern even though i have yet to worry about that. Mine doesn’t have a loop but im sure it wouldn’t be too hard to add if that’s something you desired! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽

@beachstart 4 ай бұрын

@@CarryQuandariesI have never experienced a theft while wearing a backpack - I only read such warnings every now an then. Just a little loop at the zipper-ending where you can fiddle a little karabiner through or even a small lock, should do the trick. Then one can decide, according to the environment, if a lock is appropreate or not. That said, it is always best to carry your backpack on your front, if you feel unsave ;-) Looking forward to your content - Greetings from Germany 🙂

At 10:20, about the compression, this is the reason why i was thinking about buying the Aer Sling, but since it doesnt compress like the original, i think ill pass. I have the tomtoc Xpac (it looks nice) but it has no compression straps, thats why im searching for something else; it also has other nuances that i dont like.

@CarryQuandaries 6 ай бұрын

@@DrifterGaming nah man I sold the X pod to a subscriber quite a while ago. This video is from my early carry nerding days. These days I’ve developed a pretty solid rotation I use depending on where i’m going. In the X pod size range I use a few: The High Above Nova waistpack (yup, I’ve become a waste pack guy haha), the DSPTCH Unit Sling large which is like a cross between a sling and a tote, the Bellboy Lite Sling which I actually haven’t used for a while, but probably the most similar sling I use is the Trakke Banana Sling in X Pac, sleek and simple, but doesn’t expand or anything like the X Pod.
