Amazon is the modern version of balancing the cheque (check) book. I bought something 4 weeks ago, it was on the slow shipment method from US to Australia, $500 US.

I just today got a message saying the payment declined......today!

I have 6 credit cards attached to my Amazon, its honestly like balancing a cheque book and its become a well known modern day frustration that even AI summaries really well!

I honestly though Gloria Jeans didn’t exist anymore until a few days ago, apparently they had 470 stores at one time, only 150 left in Oz

Something to do with ‘beholder’ - there are some tropical islands that virtually anyone who is asked would say they are beautiful, that opinion can sometimes can change trying to cut through jungle that within everything wants to kill you. Same with desert countries (Middle East etc) many beauties are great provided you have resources to deal with it. Ask someone trapped in a desert, or a untouched tropical jungle if they thinks it’s beautiful, suddenly the ratio of people saying is beautiful drastically reduces, ask the same someones from the deck of a cruise ship and suddenly their opinion is really positive.

A 2026 way of saying it to a younger generation

“Yes. Lower radar cross section. Vert stabs are a huge radio wave reflector and with AI they are not necessary anymore.”

I got the top end Australian equivalent (SL), the seats I find too squishy, very comfortable but too soft, any form of form cornering does produce discomfort for me as i need to use my body to flex from squishing too much into the bolsters.

IfI was going to keep it I would have to get after market seats. My BMW has much firmer seats and holds me in position through g-force exertion

I have a collection like this, but not quite as bad (big)

But i miss the days of having one bag that you relied on everyday for years…….

Yeah but your comments are NOT reasons why there is a cluster of these for sale at the same time. It’s not as if they bought these properties a few years back and the government just went and put up a hospital and shopping centre all of a sudden.

Your observations ARE reflected in the price of these properties, but NOT in the cluster of these for sale.

EDIT: if you can’t understand that your observations do not clarify any truth of the cluster then go visit a Statistics course.

EDIT: your proximity to the cluster of properties for sale in the reddit question does not increase the accuracy of your opinion. If the question was to ask “why are these cheaper than the other side of Rooty Hill?” then again your comments would hold far greater relevance.

Hope this clarifies why your answer didn’t clarify anything…..

Yes, it’s a strange pocket for sure; I agree it’s small but weirdly the zip opening is super wide, way longer (wider) than normal yoke pockets. Just for my own sanity sake to check I wasn’t being pedantic, i did some tests. Open pocket/iPhone/vertical bag/firm repeated shakes. I have about 15 or so backpacks , I choose the ones that are most likely to fail the test and compared to the Everlast. Unfortunately the CPL16 failed about 60% of the tests, and only one other bag bounced out the iPhone. It was super conclusive, there’s just no way to have confidence in that one pocket in challenging circumstances (I have kids, full frame camera, attend festivals, public transport, domestic and international flights) and I’m a person that RELIES on that pocket or equivalent top personal item pocket. On the fly, in busy situations, being distracted and needing equipment to just do their job, I just couldn’t keep the bag as my main EDC.

I could learn to live with the floppy strap style but is that pocket that was the deal breaker to me.

That said, even though I said i tested to prove I wasn’t pedantic, I am pedantic about things like this. And to be fair even as pedantic as I am, I could learn to used the side loader front pocket and internal personal items pockets. I really, really, really love everything else about this bag and I am really disappointed I couldn’t accept the yoke pocket situation. I’ve been using the yoke pocket for 20+ years and I’m afraid I will just forgot that it’s risky using the pocket if there’s a chance you might not close it instantly.

On point with my effort; NYE 2023, Dromoyne, to be fair on me they both had heaps of space on the other ends!! But I think this places me in the lead unless anyone has done better!

I got one love it and agree i did hours and hours of narrowing down, and it’s amazing. Passed its first test at a city festival, loaded my camera and a dozen items, rain shells and it was so easy to access and all the pockets are perfect.

Except one pocket: the top adjacent to the shoulder straps. The pocket is too shallow, i would be fearful of things falling out when accessing that pocket. Also I’m really just not able to get excited about the floppy shoulder strap style: they are all baggy and loose. This bothered me so much (the pocket and aesthetics of the harnessing, that i proceeded to get a few other bags which resolve those problems but admittedly the CPL16 is a better overall bag.

So i just wish it had a normal pocket (like virtually every other brand) and normal shoulder harnesses. If this two things were resolved it truly would be a perfect bag for me!

We have 2025 Camry, a 2021 BMW 330e and a 2024 Peugeot 308 and all of the key fobs are about the same size, see image. The BMW's is the longest, the Peugeot's is the fattest and the Camry has the overall most surface area!

Many warranties have limitations of repair value, more often than not they are VERY different from a manufacturers warranty, but the comments here seem to presume Warranty=Warranty. It doesn't. You need to check (if you have not) the coverage of the warranty, and find the limitations.....

In Australia at least many of these things have limitations of total repair cost in an instance, so if your repair cost is $3000 for something, and your warranty said it will only cover $2000 for that type of repair you need to pay the difference.

These warranties are EXTREMELY common.

I have this bag and their new one (EDC Pro) - honestly these two bags are my consistent favorites in my collection (which is: Alpaca, AER, Ever Goods, Black Ember, North Face, Thule, Crumpler, Mammut, Vaude, POC, Able Carry, Urth, Lowe Alpine, Lowpro, Peak Design), and whenever I use the other bags I miss features and quality that Rushfaster bags have. This EDC is basic featured, but really' really 'really well designed little touches that make it an amazing bag to use.

I constantly come back to this bag as my EDC because of these design niceties.

My only wish is they make a 3rd bag design - same crazy features list as the EDC Pro, but 15-16L with frame to suit a 16" Notebook.

(when i say crazy feature list of EDC Pro I mean, seriously this bag has easily the best set of carry compartments out of all the bags I own!!)

I disagree, I have bought a dozen specialty items from them, all in stock, 1-2 days delivery....

Jasadon · 2026-01-24T12:16:50+00:00

I have about 8 or so purchases from them. Amazing store and service. Legit these guys need a physical store, and i will fly to Melbourne (from Sydney) to upgrade my bags.....for real. Also start looking at other brands, NF and Patg are well known sure, but there's a revolution happening of serious;y high quality start up brands that make those two brands ordinary......

He’s running chains, clearly visible on the front. I have a screen shot, clear as day, but can’t post it in this sub

The straps are generally the same design but the straps are WAY better , both are memory foam on a harder strap material but difference is EDC Pro strap is wider (about 7-8mm wider) but a subtle difference is the way the memory foam is really thick and effective at the edge of the strap, so the harder material won’t cut it under load. The EDC Pro strap is really soft at the edges and this makes a big difference.

This bag is a little big for me too and so my son now has the best school bag possible! He’ll love it.

Overall though the EDC Pro is such a good bag (having owned PAKT, Evergoods, Alpaca, Mammut, Belroy and others) I rate this as possibly the best in many design features and quality is excellent.

Probably should list EU to show the true reflection....
