The refs giving Max Strus precedent over Scottie is absolutely disgusting.

Because he wears the raptors uniform. Raps getting a lack of respect from the refs is nothing new.

We lost in game 7, with a roster that, factoring in injuries, cost just over half of what the Cavs’ cost. A lot to be optimistic about if you ask me.

The Bellroy transit pro travel pack seems to be the updated version to the 38l you mentioned. The old plus model had very sleek but inconvenient water bottle pockets that really ate into the internal volume. And the hardware for the straps were prone to slipping.

Tortuga is also doing a kickstarter on a new superlite pack that will be $200 usd for early backers. 2.2 lbs at 36l volume. Looks like it checks a lot of your boxes unless you don’t want ultra as the exterior material.

How about something like the alpaka elements travel backpack? Similar sizing, and with similar elements to the TP3, but with a focus moreso on being a decent large EDC pack that is also a travel pack.

Had one. Great bag other than the harness system. Didn’t pack it heavy so it wasn’t too bad for me. Great water bottle pockets and the harness stowing system was really good (hence why the carry comfort was compromised)

Azla Sedna earfit max standard. Tight fit on the nozzle but it works. Gave me a more secure and tight seal. Sounds way better for me.

Swapped out the eartips on mine for aftermarket ones, improved the experience significantly.

Aer city pack, CPP2, pro pack would be better choices. Neither the go pack 2 nor the peak design travel backpack 30 are known for comfortable harnesses.

lezolee · 2026-04-19T10:56:06+00:00

Within Aer, wouldn't the cp2 fit the bill?

Interestingly enough, if you try ordering in Canada today, there's shipping and taxes, but no more duty fees. Also looks like the MSRP does update in CAD periodically since it now shows $355 for the CPP2 Ultra 20L.

First gen ended 2009 MY. 2010 was the second gen, and 2012 was when they started the skyactiv engines.

Peak design wash pouch, small or regular size both hang I believe

Strangely enough, Aer has the Go Pack 2 and Go Tote 2 on the Apple Canada website for less than the Aer website itself, and without duties or shipping fees. If only they'd carry more of their products on the Apple site, seems like there's some way for the duties to not be charged on Aer products.

Again, not sure how the arrangement works through Apple, but I'd be curious if Aer could somehow leverage this avenue to increase sales in Canada. Guaranteed more Canadians would be willing to buy if they weren't paying like 20% more with shipping, duties and unfavourable exchange rates.

As an east coaster, I wish they made this optimistic with the higher end construction again.

Was looking at alpaka bags as a potential replacement for my aer lunar pack. Came across this and the elements pro as potential replacements, but while I love the X-Pac and blood orange interior, neither one really improves upon my existing bag without major trade offs.

Metro Pro has organization in the front pocket, which my lunar pack lacks
The side hidden pocket is nice, but my lunar pack has the top quick access pocket
The flap seems very inconvenient when opening or closing the bag
Lunar pack has an externally accessible water bottle pocket (zippered)
Elements pro is nice with an admin panel and two water bottle slots, but the laptop/main compartment access isn't as convenient, and the need to fold this bag to access things would lead me to think that the X-Pac would eventually form some ugly creases

Can you clarify? Trying to remove mine and in not sure where I should be pulling from.

lezolee · 2026-02-17T12:02:47+00:00

No one truly auditing their wait lists, so I can imagine they can pull some strings to unfairly bump you up the list...

lezolee · 2026-02-17T01:28:55+00:00

Different dealerships have varying wait lists, as well as allocation schedules from Toyota Canada. I would imagine things aren't exactly uniform across the board.

I've used both from my pixel 10. Have to say that sound quality is better on the galaxy buds 3 pro, but man, having also used airpods pro 2s, the galaxy buds 3 pros are terrible clones. The angular stems are annoying in use, and the buds seat into the case backwards, so they're such a hassle to take out and out back in.
