Great review. I thought I wanted x-pac material but all of these reviews confirm how loud these bags are when using and opening. Is this a good observation or is it amplified being in close proximity to the microphone? Is it a real concern?? I think I want the older material that is more pliable.
@urbancred9 күн бұрын
I personally don't find them that much louder than other materials. During our uses, it doesn't ever get loud enough to interfere with our daily use. The loudest component on the bag is really the zipper and that depends on how hard you pull open and close. But again it might be the mic that amplifies it. I hope that helps!

Great review! I kind of want both, but I think I’m going to start with the A5 because I often take notes without a desk and it’s just a little bit easier to handle. Question for you, though; does the front of the A5 model also fold all the way around so you can hold it in one hand or is the A4 the only one capable of that?

They both should do the same thing essentially. One is just bigger than the other!

I bought this bad boy because I travel a lot and I needed something durable for any occasion that could hold all my essentials i.e. passport, credit cards, ID, and keys. So far I love it and it works as intended. The only draw back (for me) is the strap that adjusts the length is kind of weirdly designed where it either drapes down unclipped like in the video shown worn by the model, or if its clipped leaves an akward loop. I don't get why they wouldn't just make it like any other adjustable strap where it can be adjusted and worn flush with the main strap. I guess its an aesthetic that some people may find cool or unique but I personally prefer practical use over aesthetics.

@jonathanklein78754 ай бұрын
I have the old version, and it goes in my daily rotation from time to time. Frankly, I can't imagine even more padding on the straps, as they already feel like overkill on a bag this size. The upgraded liner and sternum strap would be nice, but not enough for me to want to repurchase the new version. As for color, one thing to note is that the green is actually a different material from the other 2- VX42 as opposed to VX21. This makes the bag slightly heavier and stiffer feeling, but also significantly more abrasion resistant.
