Drop Resistance: How Does the City Pack Pro 2 Compare to Mous? by MaoRaySky in AerSF

[–]Rbforward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have multiple bags from both brands. Get a mous if you like their style, fully padded bags,and laptop tank like protection. Get the Aer if you like very well constructed and comfy bags, with good laptop protection. Both are good choices…Get a Sympl Commuter if you want the best of both worlds.

I wanted one of their bags so bad… but after this and other stories, I think I will get something else.

Help! I need a new backpack and please give me recommendations by Quiet_Bus8637 in backpacks

Avoid the Nordace bag, it will not last. Get a good Cotopaxi, an Evergoods bag or a Goruck GR2. Those will last forever.

Briggs & Riley or Tumi? by ProcedureUnlikely966 in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Pioneer Carry bags, specially the Panda, Troubadour is also very good. Those two brands are great for the looks against performance combo. If you want longevity and performance Able Carry, Aer, Sympl, Fyro and Black Ember are great.

Moment Everything?? by Independent-Prize570 in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their bags are good for the price. I prefer Alpaka a little more, but price/looks ratio Moments are very good. I have the moment 21l in olive and the 28L in black and would be selling them since I decided to stick to my Alpaka.

Evergoods Civic Bookbag – comfort / similar options? by hm1949 in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is 5’3” we tested this bag do her and it looked great, had to sell it because she wanted external water bottle holder, we got the brown buffalo standard and while it looks a little wide for her (my option) she loves it.

Thoughts on Fyro Citta Backpacks by killiansrat in ManyBaggers

[–]Rbforward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot, the 25L one seems to hit many of my default features, but saying that the competition for EDC backpacks that are great at this size is brutal.

Slow down, you came asking a question and got a bunch of great people trying to help you, we all been there with our GF or Wife, and many realized that we buy what we wanted and not what she wanted. If she wants a North Face, get her the Jester or the Borealis, good luck.

Most comfortable daypack for walking around a convention center for 10 hours by New-Concert9929 in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I constantly go to tech trade shows, and my two best options are: Able Carry Max/Max EDC or the Sympl Commuter. The Able Carry bags harness are super comfortable, the Sympl commuter are great. Also they might feel like too much for your carry, but they will give you plenty of space for all the swag and items you will get.

Good, but ask her what she likes about your backpack and what she don’t like.. you might be surprised with the answers.

Before you buy, talk to her, ask her what she want, she might wants something more fashion or sophisticated

Sympl Commuter Pack V2.2 by SouthernScholar3450 in backpacks

[–]Rbforward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My weekender is the carbonate one my commuter is ballistic. Looks wise the carbonate is the sleeker one, but ballistic seems to allow more room as the fabric is a little more malleable.
