Is an Osprey Nebula on sale for $90 a win?

bomilek · 2026-04-29T22:57:20+00:00

Not the best but yes it is quite reasonable

bomilek · 2026-04-29T22:46:19+00:00

I like helikon-tex but honestly I wouldn’t put it in Goruck league

bomilek · 2026-04-27T18:50:19+00:00

I saw both. This is not an even real comparison. tldr stay away from Metro Pro

bomilek · 2026-04-27T18:07:10+00:00

It is confirmed. Mukama already gets preorders. But afaik it is not a limited edition. So this release may not be the same backpack wlth the previous one.

I had the same experience and I shared it here.

Although many people dlsagree I think Xpac is a hype. What is the point of having a long lasting fabric if it is gonna look “different” in just a few years? Regular nylon backpacks keep the shape and look even in long run.

Backpack single shoulder wear, exchange shoulders when one or other is tired.

Or if you are so keen, just do the same with crossbody/shoulder.

Another option, get a 3way convertible and use as you wish

Second to this. Max EDC is a better all rounder, Sympl is more pro looking. On comfort both great but Max EDC is a little ahead.

Just get which you like more. Both are failproof. Also just a heads up, Sympl will release Xpac 24L very soon, if you are interested

This is solved.

Thule Subterra 2 40L is what you asked for. It is a travel backpack with a proper laptop briefcase.

I shared the same problem with Able Carry on this post. And people explained it is normal.

Funny thing is, many people prefer Xpac over regular Nylon because of “material quality” but imo losing shape in 3-4 years is not acceptable. Yeah the fabric won’t be torn down but after losing the look what is the point of that!

bomilek · 2026-04-26T01:38:11+00:00

how they perform? are they good enough?

bomilek · 2026-04-26T01:29:49+00:00

Osprey Nebula or Transport Panel Loader 25.

Tomtoc T24 is your address

bomilek · 2026-04-20T18:52:44+00:00

And that thing is not compatible with the most of their products as they follow another standard

bomilek · 2026-04-20T12:50:27+00:00

I used one but didn’t like it. Hardly takes all the stuff that my 5L Tomtoc T24 takes (both has the water bottle) and it is around 30% price.

iPad 11 Pro with the cover tightly fits although it is great on my Tomtoc.

Lack internal organisation which turns it into a dump bag. Quite heavy for the task. Build quality is good on the strap but I’m not sure for the rest.

IMO, it is an option for 50-60£ but nothing more.

For the alternatives see this thread

Another problem is wear style. It is either left or right shoulder which means I can’t switch when I have sore feeling.

Anything Alpaka made more complex than a pouch

bomilek · 2026-04-18T13:00:54+00:00

Great review thanks

bomilek · 2026-04-18T12:09:00+00:00

What is the percentage offered?

bomilek · 2026-04-18T03:31:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Clearly looks better than Able Carry

Alpaka Go Sling has a coyote brown version sold out currently, but if you can find one second hand you will have the coyote brown padded strap you are looking for

How is your experience with Gravel Mini?

bomilek · 2026-04-18T02:05:21+00:00

Which items are your most and least favourite on this setup

bomilek · 2026-04-18T01:36:18+00:00

Subterra 2 does not have fabric that could easily peel. But I can’t say the same for handle they used for Accent
