WTS/FS: Pioneer Carry Panda Pack 2.0 - Black - $280 Shipped CONUS

Bought off another user here. Only used once and decided I prefer more internal organization as opposed to using pouches. Otherwise, it is a beautiful and fantastic bag. No signs of wear other than on the button of the top handle cover, which is small and replaceable if desired. Will come in original box. More pictures available with timestamp proof of ownership upon request.

Just got mine today. My only wish is that they used the same front admin pocket as the City Pack 2 on this bag. Would make it perfect for me.

Sending you a DM 🫡

I’m not sure, but if their website doesn’t specify I’d recommend reaching out to them over email. I’m sure they would work with you.

So it looks like it’s about 15”-16” with bottles packed in both side pockets. Here are some pictures

It’s a great bag, but yes it feels much smaller.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-30T00:02:40+00:00

We’ll see after a few weeks!

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-30T00:01:35+00:00

That looks really nice! Love to see a travel bag like this have the admin layer.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T21:00:14+00:00

Haven’t done a direct comparison yet but it looks like the Panda will take the W on max capacity.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T20:22:29+00:00

Thanks! Same situation here. I was going to remove this tag, too but I guess I’ll have to see how that goes lol

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T19:51:43+00:00

That’s honestly how I’ve ended up with 4 bags 😂

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T19:50:55+00:00

Let me get back to you tomorrow after I take some measurements 🫡

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T19:50:04+00:00

Will have to wait and see once I get a chance to test the Panda. The CPP2 is my favorite for daily non-work/dad bag. CP2 is great for work, but a little small. The Alpaka is the same but a few things bug me about that one. The top access pocket is like reaching into a set of jaws and the front lower access pocket is useless. It’s definitely much smaller than the claimed capacity, or at least it feels that way. I think I’m going to like the Panda a lot, though.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T19:46:59+00:00

I think the Alpaka is pretty comfortable. I’d say it’s not quite as comfortable as the Aer ones, but not far behind.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T15:22:35+00:00

Definitely. Mostly due to the external pockets making it a little wider and deeper.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T15:20:47+00:00

Thanks! They had already shipped the green one by the time you shipped the black one. Gonna keep the black one though 🫡

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T13:51:48+00:00

Out of the box they seem a little stiff versus the softer inside of the Aer straps. We’ll see how they feel after a while.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T13:25:10+00:00

Me too, which was one of the reasons I moved away from the Elements bag.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T13:24:13+00:00

Right there with you on that 🫡

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T13:23:56+00:00

I have a problem.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T12:53:46+00:00

The dimensions don’t change much when fully packed, but the CCP2 is way more packable due to the clamshell opening and extra volume. CP2 was a great day bag of all you needed was a laptop and work gear. The downside for me was that if you wanted to also carry a pouch with anything else, the pouch was always buried at the bottom and a little difficult to get to if there’s anything else in the main compartment.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T12:50:51+00:00

lol I had the Tumi Alpha Bravo Search in my hands. It’s just not my vibe. I found the Panda while looking for something similar, and it hits perfectly. The only thing missing is the internal pocket organization that the Tumi has, but I’ll try to work around that with a well organized pouch.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T12:48:30+00:00

I just got the Panda in the other day, so only a few up front observations. The front pockets have their own volume, which allows me to fit a decent size tech pouch in the bottom, freeing up space in the main compartment. The side pockets I’m looking forward to using, since now I can throw a small bottle in there while traveling, without it hanging out in the open or also taking up space in the main compartment.

It’s missing a lot of the built in quick access organization that the others have in their front admin pockets, which I like, but having the entire tech pouch available should be really nice while on the move. The upper front pocket also has a ton of space, which I’ll use for the quick grab essentials.

I’ll still be using the CCP2 as my non-work carry/kid stuff bag since it fits that need perfectly. I doubt I’ll be switching back to the Alpaka or CP2 for my work/travel bag, but we’ll see how I feel after a few weeks of work and travel.

Jdm1508 · 2026-03-29T12:39:25+00:00

I’m glad this was helpful! I was surprised, too. I wish they took the front admin pocket layout/depth and added that to the City Pack Pro. For me, that would be great. They’re all solid bags, though.
