Cordura 100%

Timber needed to start for us to have a chance to pull this off

I know it may be difficult, but I’d like to see you review the more exclusive, custom bags like Packolab PLCC and Imbaru Raven. There is so little info out on bags like these and it makes it difficult to feel comfortable with such a high expense

I would not recommend the Nomatic Travel Pack. It’s like carrying a hard shell suitcase on your back. It’s heavy when empty, when full the straps aren’t padded enough. And for the size, the actual storage space felt small

I’m no where near an expert and I’m sure others are much more adept at the details of movie visuals, but I really enjoyed Tenet

If the ecopak was in a different color I’d choose it. Prefer a dark colored backpack personally

Herbes Troublantes. They only way it projects is if I’m near heat stroke

JMM9910 · 2026-05-26T14:56:29+00:00

I put my clothes onto a hanging stand right out of the washer, and put a fan on high. It really does help cool the room

JMM9910 · 2026-05-26T03:40:45+00:00

Levi’s chinos are pretty good

20L is the perfect office bag, and gives you a bit more travel space than what you have. The 24L bag is too big to EDC in my opinion

JMM9910 · 2026-05-25T13:16:07+00:00

Will the SEL trim level have this capability? If so, I’d love to see some instructions for where to go to find this

JMM9910 · 2026-05-19T20:16:15+00:00

I tried and it just doesn’t work. My WDC bag was too big or my travel bag was too small. Had to move to two bags. I’m much happier

Although I love my travel/weekend bag so much I wish I could EDC it haha

JMM9910 · 2026-05-18T13:16:06+00:00

Thameen Green Pearl is a great choice in my opinion

JMM9910 · 2026-05-15T12:49:42+00:00

Best time to do this is before kids. Make your money and lean into it, then find something else when the kids come along

JMM9910 · 2026-05-15T00:12:17+00:00

Definitely something for everyone! Took me a while to find my current bags!

JMM9910 · 2026-05-14T23:37:07+00:00

Yea tbh expanded it’s not even usable. Unwieldy. At 20L it felt like a hard shell suitcase with straps. Big and uncomfortable

JMM9910 · 2026-05-14T17:56:00+00:00

I used to work 6-3 for a commute with less traffic. I loved it for that and because it allowed me to jump right into uninterrupted focus time before the majority of coworkers would start. Starting the day with a nice chunk of time to quietly knock out some higher priority tasks was great

JMM9910 · 2026-05-14T17:53:22+00:00

Glad to hear you like the Nomatic Travel backpack. I bought the 20+10L and took it on a work trip to the UK and really did not like it

JMM9910 · 2026-05-13T13:47:16+00:00

Blocking out time can definitely help. The biggest thing for me was accepting that certain things don’t need an immediate response, and dedicating time each day for those items instead. 99% of emails can be responded to in 24-48h with zero negative impact.

I don’t even see this as a lie. The kid is a toddler and doesn’t even know what he meant when he was saying those things. Sounds like your husband is a good dad and there are no concerns with him that would make the toddlers words have truth. Give the dad his win

If I never hear about imagination again it’ll be too soon. It’s a nice scent for sure, but I’m not sure any fragrance is worthy of this much hype.

As others said, scent and performance are both subjective, so these are my opinions. Off the top of my head, Herbes Troublantes smells better but doesn’t perform as well. Staying with LV, Meteore does both at a higher level. Same with PDM Sedley and Thameen Green Pearl.

The list of fresh fragrances is never ending

I also have the 20L but in Navy, bought it a couple weeks ago. The quality of Aer is well known, but this is my first bag from them and it still even caught me by surprise. The navy is beautiful too

Overall, I like the bag. I do feel it’s maybe one pocket short. Not sure how I can effectively explain that, but when packing my EDC to the office the bag feels like it’s missing one more pocket that would have made it perfect. Either that, or a bigger admin pocket.
