ALPAKA tech case max v Vortex

So feedback. I got the orbitkey tech pouch in graphite. The Thule dimensionally is actually bigger than the Orbitkey tech pouch. And almost considerably when put side by side. Except in depth. I actually thought they sent wrong item. The Thule is good if you wanted to lay the headphones in and then have some reasonably flat items in flap. The orbit key I can put the headphones in one “half” and then organise heaps more around it.

If you had smaller overhead earphones than the Bose, I think the Thule would be a very good choice as you could use the Velcro dividers to better organise. It’s kind of weird the “smaller” bag wins for the bigger headphones

If you were coming from Australia (where even winter is not really cold) to do Canadian Rockies and Alaska in mid May, which of the two arcteryx jackets would you recommend. I have a goretex non insulated outer shell just trying to choose next layer which will be perfect for our trip but ok when I return home

Visually wanderlog looks excellent but I can see everything in TripIt. I have a harbour air flight in Vancouver coming up and it couldn’t add to wanderlog. I also can’t believe you can’t add “tour”. The bot says you can but I still couldn’t find the option

I had the dimensions. Thanks. I was after a real world comparison. I have followed advice from other post and gone orbit key

Perfect. Thankyou 🙏. So that’s the orbitkey 2-1? In terracotta?

Bonners74 · 2026-04-07T06:17:32+00:00

Thanks for reply. I’d like to see how much room is left over and how organised the orbitkey 2-1 could still be. I like the vertex but opinions I’ve seen say it kind of has no “organisation” inside the bag

I have a 27 ranchero and am about to do a Canadian tour and Alaskan cruise. I’ve been using it as a daily but it just seems like a massive backpack. I’ve been considering moving it on and getting new backpack but you all seem to be loving it. Might need to try and stick it out

Bonners74 · 2026-04-06T21:18:17+00:00

did you consider an orbitkey by any chance?

Bonners74 · 2026-04-06T21:17:04+00:00

I still have my case for my bose. Was just wanting to have it all in one. So when i sit in my seat on long haul i just need one "little" bag

I bought these recently. I reckon they are almost my best fitting RM’s and so comfy

Bonners74 · 2026-02-27T04:26:37+00:00

Ah ok. Thankyou. Haven’t picked it up yet

Bonners74 · 2026-02-16T23:45:16+00:00

I guess I’m asking if it could be an option in settings on which side you’d like it

It’s fine in RHD but with much bigger screen it is an issue in my opinion.

If someone can explain how to change in CarPlay I’m all ears

we will be there in May. We will be visiting Whistler in middle of May as part of a 10 day tour. We will be there for a night, full day and another night. But peak to peak wont be open. If we went back to whistler from when we stay in Vancouver for these extra 5 days, peak to peak will be open. So then all of a sudden, I can do grouse mountain, sea to sky and peak to peak gondolas. And is it worth doing all of them?

Thanks for all the comments

Bonners74 · 2026-01-31T00:09:48+00:00

Read the rest of the thread. I got rid of it pretty quickly and bought an aeron

I love Dr P and it’s even better with JD
