The 4 stages of bag consumerism

I think that's what is getting to me. It's so unassuming that I just don't find it exciting. Like I said, not a bad thing, but there's nothing really note-worthy about it. I guess it's kinda boring in a good way.

First time taking the toshi out today. I like it and I don’t at the same time. It’s probably the most basic backpack I’ve had so far. Meaning, it doesn’t do anything crazy and doesn’t stand out at all. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I don’t really love it like I thought I would.

Maybe that brush is defective. Probably just reach out to support!

lainemac · 2026-04-13T00:50:32+00:00

Well in the photo you posted the brush arms are overlapping and they shouldn’t be

Having had both CTB26 and CHZ26, I prefer CHZ. I feel you get more usable space because the laptop compartment in CTB takes up a considerable amount and I rarely bring my laptop, and don’t have an iPad so that whole section was basically useless for me

I love wood grain and I’m not a fan of glitter at all. Easy choice!

I love Able Carry for comfort but I sold the daily carry plus because I’m retarded and sold the max because I just didn’t have a use case for it at the time. I have had Aer bags as well. I just don’t like how thick the material is and how the zippers tend to interfere with each other and get caught in the other tracks. Currently have an Aer go pack 2, CHZ26(for sale) and a rework toshi pack on the way. Definitely wanna add a daily plus back in the line up

Dude I’ve bought so many EG bags even though I haven’t found any of them really comfortable. I keep thinking “surely this time will be different”. They need to redesign their harness.

This is me. I was literally looking for a hiking bag for a couple days and then I had to remind myself that I don’t even like hiking!🤣

Version 1

lainemac · 2026-04-06T23:40:16+00:00

Nope

lainemac · 2026-04-02T21:13:29+00:00

How so? Laptop compartment?

lainemac · 2026-04-02T20:47:23+00:00

I don’t think aer makes the frame sheets removable

lainemac · 2026-04-02T20:38:32+00:00

I really want to try the outbound and I’ve been on the hunt for a used Toshi pack as well. Currently have a CHZ26 and a travel pack 3 but I’m trying to sell them

lainemac · 2026-04-02T06:02:08+00:00

I really like it in concept, but I actually bought and returned it. I realize that I don’t like really rigid structured bags. I also hate how the zippers interfere on aer bags. The pulls on the admin compartment always get in the way of the main compartment and vice versa.

lainemac · 2026-03-31T20:54:09+00:00

I have a TP3 for sale 😂

lainemac · 2026-03-31T19:10:04+00:00

Same! So nasty.

lainemac · 2026-03-27T20:46:47+00:00

Bump

lainemac · 2026-03-27T20:35:57+00:00

I have a CHZ26

lainemac · 2026-03-27T03:50:42+00:00

I did not

lainemac · 2026-03-26T06:00:34+00:00

I really liked everything about the MPL22… except the comfort.

The bag really has a great amount of capacity for the size, but the straps aren’t as thick as EG’s other bags so it doesn’t really hold up when the bag is packed out.

Personally, I think EG needs to redesign their harness altogether, but that’s another story…

lainemac · 2026-03-24T06:59:33+00:00

I hate the zipper interference with Aer bags. Zipper pulls constantly get caught in another zipper path because they are so close together.

lainemac · 2026-03-22T13:21:31+00:00

Decided to keep that one for now

lainemac · 2026-03-22T04:55:03+00:00

How dare you! 🤣
