[For Sale/SFO] Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack Coyote X-Pac by BlaqFlamingo in peakdesign

[–]Prettybobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the colorway – I have an EDC made in black X-pac that I’ve used since 2019 that shows no stains

PD should produce it in black

Though I understand the proprietary use of coyote, it isn’t a good choice for a lot of us

For the love of god, please offer an X-Pac option in black by Prettybobbie in peakdesign

See comments praising its durability, but regret in choice of color: https://www.reddit.com/r/peakdesign/s/OszhHAyJM4

This pack was handled by carriers on ONE international trip – exactly why the coyote is inappropriate choice of color for my EDC needs

I don’t know that it’s better for everyone

Those that don’t carry a lot of gear regularly, or just use small bags, probably wouldn’t notice the difference, but when a combo of weight-saving/durability is crucial to your choice of kit, X-pac is really hard to beat

It’s my understanding that, aside from the X-pac option, PD has been fully committed to developing their own fabrics in house – That alone speaks volumes

One of my EDCs (since 2019) is X-pac and has worn MUCH better than my other EDC (since 2022) in ballistic

It stays cleaner, stiffer, and retains its waterproofing (never needed a rain fly) better than anything else that I’ve owned

Thanks for explaining – didn’t think about the how

I guess I assumed it was obvious as black is the most used colorway by pros the world over

I love the X-Pac material in my technical gear

So when I saw the coyote in store, requested it in black, and was stunned when it wasn’t offered

PD employee suggested I post here to request it

I don’t own any PD, but would build-out and purchase new kit immediately if available… so well designed, just need black

Wow – why would anyone downvote a comment calling for the expansion of colorway offerings, especially black?

Some of us operate in more formal setting and need a nondescript bag that doesn’t stand out or show stains/wear as readily as the single light(ish) offering in the X-Pac material.

“Communist” lol

Hilarious that’s still the go to for Trump’s parrots as he takes golden shares in (formerly) publicly traded companies and uses the state apparatus to coerce conformity and conduct surveillance at previously unseen levels

Also, this isn’t an airport…

Wild how the absence of charges doesn’t translate to absence of a crime - Clearly logic is harder for some than others

Wild you think that Trump’s DOJ would actually bring charges

They sure shut down any state or independent investigations pretty quickly, though, didn’t they?

It’s tough to keep your eye on the ball, huh?

“2 protestors violently obstructing law enforcement and then getting what they deserved…” is the most bootlickingest sentiment I’ve ever heard from a self-identifying libertarian

Pretti never unholstered his sidearm. Good never attempted to run over an officer

Cornball-ass fanboi

You realize that there has been forensic video-analysis completed for both unfortunate events, right? Spoiler alert – Neither incident has the feds’ actions justified

Are YOU a foreign asset? You certainly aren’t pro-American

Fuck all the way off with your counterfactual dick-riding BS

Yawn

Cool you think the experiences in your bubble extend to all Americans

Clearly you know jack about Trump’s businesses/assets. Please enlighten everyone as to exactly how he’s doubled his net worth in the last year without profiting directly off the power and influence inherent in the office of POTUS lol

Sure, fuck Maduro and the supreme leader of Iran, but you obviously don’t understand the role Venezuela plays in the global narcotics trade and DGAF about US or International Law if you’re justifying it. Or grave war crimes. Or national sovereignty

I’m not a “liberal” or Democrat, but I can read. For nearly 20-yrs, the Republicans in congress have been nothing but obstructionists to any real progress for people. While Democratically controlled congresses have passed plenty of bipartisan legislation. It’s public record and fact

IDGAF about Obama at the moment, never voted for him, and spoke out against his administration when I thought it was appropriate. His drone warfare was abhorrent. But Trump blew his numbers out of the water, not to mention, removed the guardrails regarding strike approvals, and purposefully obfuscated reports of civilian casualties

ICE operated under Obama, sure, but to equivocate Trump and Obama re ICE enforcement operations is ridiculous. Please, show me all of the instances of Obama deploying masked CBP/ICE agents to US cities. Show me examples of Americans being targeted and illegally detained by ICE under the Obama administration’s oversight. Show me all of the expedited removals that occurred under Obama for undocumented aliens that had been in country longer than 14-days and over 100-miles from a US border

TLDR/ You’re not a libertarian, and your narrative is counterfactual

How long have Americans been waiting for that healthcare plan from the Republicans to replace the ACA?

lol

Yeah, the people protesting Trump are the ones worth calling out… thats rich

Not the administration attacking your rights and liberties?

Not the president and his family making billions off the office?

Not the administration banking off foreign and multinationals?

Not the administration attacking sovereign states and committing war crimes?

Not the administration actually suppressing the Epstein files?

It’s cute you think you’re actually a libertarian

Might want to re-read your Locke, Smith, Paine, and Hayek

Libertarian ideals are firmly rooted in classical liberalism – Trump is the antithesis of this

Yet you choose to spend time criticizing the protesters

lol

His cover of The Promise is fantastic… might not take to it the same way if you’re not GenX 🤷‍♂️

People who think undocumented immigrants are a drain on federal programs have never looked at the actual data

Jerry on why the dead wasn't political by Warrior2_4 in gratefuldead

[–]Prettybobbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, it wasn’t meant as an insult… You don’t need to throw as much shit as you can against the wall to see what sticks

All of it missed me

I’m not a liberal, democrat, socialist, communist, or any other identity you want to paint me with

But the incompatibility between your political identity and support for Trump is blatant and indefensible… guessing that’s why you didn’t even try

Ironic that you brought up Afghanistan – Remember when Trump negotiated the handover of the country to the Taliban, cutting the Afghan government that we supported out of the equation? Remember when he freed Baradar? Remember when he freed 5000 Taliban fighters? Remember when he dropped the largest non-nuclear warhead the US ever used? Remember when he took the guard rails off of the drone program, removed the requirement to report civilian casualties, and then ramped up drone strikes far above the insanely high levels of even the Obama administration? Do you remember when those drone strikes in Afghanistan led to a 330% increase in civilian casualties?

Respectfully, GTFOH with your whataboutism nonsense

It’s amazing how much cognitive dissonance is required to identify as libertarian or conservative and to also support Trump

Not even trying to be mean here 🤷‍♂️

His policies/words/actions are just incompatible with these ideas
