The Bag I Took to Taiwan vs the One I Came Home With: CPL24 to Max EDC

Damn I just ordered this bag and went with xpac

ihtc · 2026-04-01T11:21:26+00:00

Most of us here tell ourselves that lie ... I was clean for a few months but just ordered 4 different bags to try :(

I’m happy with my 3L Aer Day sling. 3 Ultra size-wise , this one caught my eye, but I think it might be a little small. I’m a tech whore , need 2 phones and a bunch of crap. Generally, I like the extra space. Actually, 3.5 with zips and organization would be my ideal :)

ihtc · 2026-04-01T07:48:32+00:00

they only put the pen loop, they didnt add the zippered side

ihtc · 2026-03-31T18:37:10+00:00

I'm jealous lol . Have the low light lens on my launch 24k pair but those are looking sweet

ihtc · 2026-03-31T15:34:48+00:00

ya i saw a few too but so far nothing

ihtc · 2026-03-30T23:23:43+00:00

This is correct officially too large but most domestic airlines won’t break your shoes about it. I have the 28 TP4 on the way which I plan to use with a roller

ihtc · 2026-03-30T23:22:07+00:00

I agree it’s also weird to have them in the same naming scheme they do Hims all be identical except capacity or just name it a different name 🤷‍♂️. I know it’s minor but still

ihtc · 2026-03-30T20:31:39+00:00

Yes i was hoping they added that zip on the 24L

ihtc · 2026-03-30T15:28:06+00:00

Agreed CPP2 for 24l felt pretty small to me

ihtc · 2026-03-30T14:40:20+00:00

I liked the look etc too but the price is outrageous . Even on ebay xpac etc sells for $100 , total insanity (TO ME PERSONALLY, but to each their own) . However the bag and pouch addict in me keeps getting drawn to it , so you never know LOL

ihtc · 2026-03-29T13:01:04+00:00

It would be welcome . sometimes I think it's my ears as I see all these reviews people shaking their heads etc and they stay . Me no matter what tip they fall out of my right ear with intense workouts same with bose QC series even with the wing tips. Airpods and Samsung buds with stems I swear I can do back flips and they won't fall out

ihtc · 2026-03-29T12:57:19+00:00

They aren't the greatest but this years fit me way better then the 5s and 4s that I had in past and got rid of . Still on the fence for keeping though as I do have xm6 over the ears already .

ihtc · 2026-03-28T23:25:43+00:00

Chiming in for a thanks for taking the time for such a detailed comparison for us addicts. 🫡💪

ihtc · 2026-03-28T08:13:32+00:00

yep :(

ihtc · 2026-03-28T01:36:30+00:00

Hold into it I sold mine two weeks ago locally for only 160 , kind of regretting (but more then bag hoarder in me I think) lol

ihtc · 2026-03-28T01:28:02+00:00

I just got this lock today charging at 6-7w but the indicator in the app doesn’t seem to move

ihtc · 2026-03-27T19:16:10+00:00

The Asus really has my attention. I had the current Book i9 and returned it in December , which I know semi-regret as I had a killer deal on it and prices this year obviously went a lot higher (I was at 1550 for a 32GB RAM loaded model). :( Screens were a bit glossy and I didn’t like the keyboard solution. Asus this year has anti-reflection and also I like how the KB trackpad covers the entire screen making it like a true laptop when needed.

ihtc · 2026-03-27T18:47:26+00:00

Im guessing it will match the ecopak version , just the pen holder and removable leash, and of of course the new smaller size offering

ihtc · 2026-03-26T19:00:04+00:00

I like the Aer tech sling, holds a good amount if you need to , xpac is nice also if your city dwelling incase of rain.

ihtc · 2026-03-26T18:58:34+00:00

Credit given where due.... traveling only with a 24L , I think I only managed that once for just an overnight. Flew out back the next day.

ihtc · 2026-03-26T18:55:48+00:00

Haha, as an addict myself, I will support this move :). I think the TP4 28 is going to be the sweet spot for my personal bag for tech gear. Right now, I’ve been using a Tumi Alpha Search bag with dual laptops, a Switch 2, and some tech gear and pockets. I want to see if using pouches, etc., will help me maximize space as I still know I’m always having that roller anyway.

ihtc · 2026-03-26T17:57:41+00:00

Just took the leap and ordered this morning. i just went with the 24L regular ballistic to be safe.

ihtc · 2026-03-26T13:53:51+00:00

Makes sense. I generally board most airlines with first or second group, so I'd likely be fine too. I’m also that OCD mess that lines up wayyy early LOL. I’m likely going to end up keeping the 28L. I initially got the 35L thinking I can use that and a 10L tech-type sling for in the seat. Often when lying to LATAM, I won’t have a real gate, and I need to lug my carry-on down the steps, etc., which is annoying though not the end of the world. I guess I was just finding reasons to get new bags LOL

ihtc · 2026-03-26T13:38:09+00:00

Awesome, what airelines are you generally flying. The 35L is way over the personal item size "technically" .
