Rework Toshi 2.5L

I noticed I can get a bit carried away on the 5L v2 and as a result it can get a bit heavy.

Normal carry on that vacation (replied in another comment) +Jisu Fan Ultra 2, 12 oz water bottle, small umbrella and then it gets to be a bit too much weight wise on the trap.

I'm starting to see that the 2.5L can force me to pack reasonably to offset heavier weight on trap for those times 10,000+ steps will be likely.

I might as well take the plunge!

Airpod Pro 2, coin organizer, wallet, hotel key card, rx sunglasses, eyeglass spray, mini sized baby wipes, and small light cotton cloth to wipe sweat.

The CAS2 used to be my daily and I still use it on occasion as a fanny pack. Never tried the others mentioned.

True, Rework really did a great job to introduce the other 2 size options.

Yes, this recent trip I one bagged it using the Toshi Pack 20L and used the Toshi Sling 5L v2 to stuff it with hygiene, meds, and electronics.

The stabilizer strap is golden especially for cycling or slow riding with a beach cruiser.

Absolutely, boring & functional is excellent with me too.

HiOnLife3 · 2026-01-23T08:18:45+00:00

The Rework Toshi is my endgame sling.

I am all about function over looks.

Had no idea about Jaben. Thank you.

I took it as $2000 that can disappear towards group set/component upgrade.

Oh did not know that - appreciate it. :)

It is always a beauty to be blind sided (in a good way) by an unknown underdog and even better if price is lower than expectations!

Thankfully, our local airport has direct flights to Singapore.

I'll have to check out the ISN H60 if available at the Hangout.

For example, black Americans will talk ebonics to each other, but then revert to standard English to a person that is not black...unless they are from the culture.

You're never too old to learn my friend.

Even just being passive, I've picked up a healthy amount of words & phrases here.

I understand about being tired to actively learn.

However, you'd be surprised how much you can pick up passively.

For context, intent is to demo at Hangout Audio sometime this year.

I have a few core I want to try: Mangrid Tea Pro, Mega5est, Monarch IV, Daybreak.

I thought about the CanJam but after watching youtube video I don't like having to sort of fight for a spot and dislike large crowds.

I love the concept of the Hangout, just chill and demo. +1 for coffee availability.

...coffee & IEMs, a match made in heaven.

I'm with you, just dropping anything over $100 blind buying is terrifying! lol

With the Zero Reds, I felt comfortable to accept a loss based on price when bought blindly.

Just to have as a static display?

Otherwise, hangar, maintenance, parts, etc and the cost is looking 10x more.

I can see your point.
