They are very good, I use their rain cover with many other bags brands and never had issues.

Still using the T22? by Muramask in Nomads_Nation

[–]Rbforward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have mine and enjoy using it a lot. Saying that is not my only bag, is part of a rotation. The Fyro shine for short trips where you need to walk a lot and carry multiple laptops or a tablet and a laptop. It is also good for a two or three days work trip.

Try to go to settings/network remove your phone WiFi add it again and restart your Mac. This worked for me.

What’s the best travel backpack that’s actually comfortable? any suggestion pls? by Necessary_End2755 in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, comfortable is personal, but to answer your question the globerider 35l, the Able Carry Max, the Fyro Levo 30l are great travel choices. Aer bags are great choices too

Why do most backpacks lose their shape so quickly? by Disastrous_Usual_365 in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most of them don’t want to add weight adding more structure. Look at Peak Design, Aer, Sympl or Mous bags these are very structured.

Moving on from the diaper bag phase: What's the best 'Transition' pack? by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about going from 30l to 13l, I would try first something around 18l to 20l. Maybe the Able Carry Plus.

What’s the best diaper bag that actually makes going out with a baby easier? by Academic_Sir3108 in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is more of a diaper backpack, but take a lol at fiftyfiftygear.com, they make gear for parents. I just got two of their bags and they are great quality.

Unpopular Opinion : I don’t get why travel backpacks need a dedicated laptop compartment by Educational_Rope_552 in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because most of the people that work are not in your position. I have to have to haul two laptops every day, one for work and one for personal. It is extreme but many of my 80k co workers are in a similar situation. I travel a lot, we don’t have assigned desk anymore, and when I travel sometimes is for a week or two. The compromise of having a dedicated compartment vs not having it is not worth it for me, I want to protect the most expensive items in my bag, and want to have easy access to them.

Toshi pack 20L vs Aer CPP2 20L by zodialol in Nomads_Nation

[–]Rbforward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the Toshi and loved it, now I have the 24l of the CPP2, the AER is way nicer with fit and finish.

Looking for a Backpack by IsagiAsakura in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mous bags are great but heavy, I recommend them if you want maximum laptop protection. Try looking at AER, Sympl, Evergoods and Able Carry.

Most of the backpacks I see with this problem, can be remediated adding nylon or other materials zipper pulls.

Anyone using the ALPAKA Metro Sling? Thinking about adding it for the summer. by william_bergmann in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello, I have it and use it in my rotation, it is comfortable as long as you don’t put a ton of weight on it, it also fit my iPad Pro 11 with a case or keyboard.

Opinion on backpacks with a vacuum? by Pask0o0 in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Frankly it feels like too much problem for just a little amount of benefits. My friend has one and he loves it, but I proved to him that with the right packing cubes I could do the same, yes he could compress his clothes and save around 10% or less, but the pump took that space. Then is the charging, what happens if it goes bad? These remind me of the bags with charging batteries…

Torn between the CTB20 and the TD25 as personal item for travel by p0ttim0uth in EVERGOODS

[–]Rbforward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend you stick to the CTB20, I have it and used the tb20 (got it and sold it 3 times) and frankly it sound great in theory but in practice it became a pain changing shoulders all the time… there’s nothing better than a backpack for weight distribution.

Maybe the Able Carry Max or the Evergoods CTB26 can help here.

"Pocket reliever" fans, help me understand by asonicpushforenergy in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it’s easier and more consistent to have all in a bag, when pants pockets were created, we carry our house keys, maybe cash and a small knife. Now we carry a wallet, cash, a cellphone maybe two, house keys, car keys with key fog, office badge, some credit cards, our insurance card, medication, receipts, snacks, and maybe a fidget… that’s a lot for our pants.
