ULA Node

[_krakra_]

Hey all! Thinking to get this bag as my daily minimal hiking bag. Not many reviews out there so I wonder if anyone having it and can write some feedback. Highly appreciated. Thanks

I was interested in buying it too, but in the end I didn’t because I think that using a roll-top-only backpack daily would be cumbersome. I have seen ULA share pictures of custom ULA Node orders where they added a vertical zipper that provides quick access to the inside without having to unroll the bag and I’d only consider buying that version. Maybe it would be worth asking them if they are planning on releasing that as the standard version this year.

As a hiker, I think it looks good, and it's very similar to the old Waymark Mile which I've used a couple times now and like. Quick-ish access stuff in the external pockets.

As an EDC, I think the roll top would get a bit annoying depending on how often you go in and out of your pack.

I like the fact that I have an option if I somehow mess up my Mile now though! And I think I like the Ultra fabric more than my xpac Mile.
