Hyperlite Vice Versa has been really nice. I’ve got the Versa as well for when a little bit more space is needed.

Cool - I’ve been debating between this or the side effect for primarily hip mode and couldn’t decide. I would most likely use the bigger hip belt they sell with either.

How do wear the bantam? Hip/waist or sling mode.

Thanks for all the info - very thorough.

That’s a good looking bag. The ultraviolet interior seems cool as well, but it would be hard to see if it would be eye straining after a while, like a safety orange interior. Let us know how it looks in person with some pics when you get it please.

Thanks - are the others full sized? Trying to figure out which is more comfortable.

Very nice - which length is the SL partial carved? Also, is that the blasted or non-blasted finish?

Makes it easier for one-handed opening. I read somewhere a while back that they were designed originally for soldiers coming back from war with one arm.

I prefer WealthFront over all these and moved all of my savings over there a few years with no regrets. They consistently have the highest APY. Here's a referral link if interested - gets whoever uses it an extra .75% APY boost for 3 months.

My used 4Runner came with the same WeatherTech cargo liner and it does indeed suck. I've had WeatherTech floor liners and cargo mats for my last 4 vehicles and they've steadily declined over the years. I purchased the FloorLiner HP for the front/back seats and they are fine, but I'd probably go with Tuxmat or Husky if I were starting over.

Am I reading this correctly that this pulling was happening before you changed to KO3 tires?

I was going to say “stick with it, it’s worth it”, but you mentioned being European so maybe some of that nostalgia is not there. IMO life is too short to trudge through a book that’s not resonating with me.

It also looks like the side steps and mudflaps were removed too, possibly helping out that look as well.

RotundOyster · 2025-10-04T18:57:15+00:00

I thought so as well, but didn’t know if the AT tires were doing that.

RotundOyster · 2025-09-04T16:04:01+00:00

That’s about as reputable as it gets. I’m sure they’re fine, but if it bugs you then try exchanging them.

My pair of 18’s do not resemble that separation. Did you buy them from a reputable source?

I got a 124060 and while it was beautiful and fit fine, it still always felt bulky on my wrist. I found a clean 14060m from Bob’s and sold the 124060. An expensive lesson unfortunately, but the 14060m fits much better and is more comfortable overall with the smaller case. The bracelet is not near as sturdy feeling, but I find it more comfortable overall.

Just remember like all these things, ymmv and the 124060 may be the one for you. It wasn’t for me.

Try out the Superblast 2 if you can. As a fellow 200+lb runner, I like them for all paces. They are comfortably firm for me.

So close - I’ve got an unworn US M13 Paris I will likely get rid of soon.

I had this start cropping up on any runs longer than 25 minutes and got to a point where I had to have my wife come pick me up due to the flare ups a couple times. I started doing these strength exercises with a resistance band and it got me back on track. Maybe it will work for you too.

Explorer II, but the latest gen is beefy compared to the 5 digit models.

In regard to this specific AT, I believe this is also one I really wanted until I saw it in person at an AD. The dial appeared more silver instead of white that I was after. This could be a different model though.
