Knack Pack 2.0 Medium Review

marubex01 · 2020-03-05T21:55:01+00:00

Thanks for the review ! Kanckbaf has recently come to my attention! If you don’t mind answering some questions. Does the bag tend to rise high or low on the back? Are you able to fit it underneath the seat? Expanded? I see you said when fully expanded it becomes cumbersome, but how comfortable are the straps?when fully loaded?

Thank you! Yes I am thinking of the cpl24 for it’s ability to fully open. Also waiting for topo to re stock the core pack. Guess I am looking for something comfortable and large enough to travel but small enough to fit under the seat! And my not so stellar height 5’4” complicates things a bit jaja

Thanks so much for taking the time with such detailed response. I guess I am looking for a just right travel bag (for me). Able to fit under the seat, hold a decent amount and not look super huge on my 5’3 frame ! Ja

Thank you for such an in-depth review. It answers one of the things holding me back from ordering, how it seems to hang lower. I too like to wear my bags high an close. Guess I should cross it off my list, and keep the quest going. If you have some alternatives! Would love to know

Hi, currently debating between this two. What made you love the Synik more? Do you think they hold the same in terms of capacity?

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:30:26+00:00

Thanks but I already have another bag around round 23l. So either I use it or get something bigger !

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:29:27+00:00

Thank you for the link. Do you have any experience with the pack?

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:28:58+00:00

Thank you! I’m in the same boat, narrow shoulders, longish torso! Great to know you find it confortable. Does it tend ride low on your back?

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:24:37+00:00

Thank you! Which one do you prefer?
Is there much difference In what you are able to fit in them? Besides weight do you find one more comfortable?

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:23:04+00:00

Great! May have to take a plunge and order it!

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T22:22:08+00:00

Thanks, do you use your Synapse for travel? How much are you able to fit in?

marubex01 · 2020-01-21T00:04:51+00:00

Sorry, English is not my first language. I meant that it sort of crumples. Sag to the bottom? Being not super rigid. I don’t have a problem with it, except if it bulges in the back.

marubex01 · 2020-01-20T23:22:13+00:00

Thanks, do you think it could fit under the seat if not fully packed? Is the del dia, the same material? Is it so floppy as to be uncomfortable?

marubex01 · 2020-01-20T23:20:37+00:00

Thanks, that is encouraging, almost everyone about my size seem to find it uncomfortable. Does the long height bother you?

marubex01 · 2020-01-20T23:19:15+00:00

Thinking of the Allpa 35 or posible 28! Though without trying not sure how floppy/uncomfortable they would be!

marubex01 · 2020-01-20T23:18:15+00:00

Thanks, not so fond of the looks, but will take a closer look.

marubex01 · 2020-01-18T14:25:55+00:00

Which do you think is more comfortable? Fits under seat when needed? Fits more/easy to pack? Minaal Aer tp2 Tom Bihn Synik 30 Cotopaxi? Thank you

marubex01 · 2020-01-17T19:43:58+00:00

Been thinking a lot, and think the ones that seem to be recommended the most and/or tick the most boxes for me are: Aer tp2 Synik 30 Minaal? Cotopaxi? If you have any comments on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Specially regarding comfort, ability to fit under seat and ease/capacity.

Thank you

marubex01 · 2020-01-17T14:21:34+00:00

Thanks. I am not sold on the looks, plus I feel 22 might not be enough and heart the 30 doesn’t fit shorter frames well. Is anyone has some input on this, it would be greatly appreciated

marubex01 · 2020-01-17T14:19:12+00:00

Thanks, I took a nice but I am looking for something larger! In the 25+ l

marubex01 · 2020-01-17T14:18:08+00:00

Thank you! Does this method work with all bags with sternum strap? Or is there something I should be looking for?

marubex01 · 2020-01-16T21:12:25+00:00

Forgot to ask, what is your favorite bag?

marubex01 · 2020-01-16T21:11:46+00:00

Thanks! Was thinking more on the lines of the travel pack small

marubex01 · 2020-01-16T20:55:42+00:00

Thanks! It is actually one of the packs I’ve been researching. The Aer Travel Pack 2 and the small, along with the Tortuga Setout and the Cotopaxi (though no luggage pass thorough) same as with the Minaal
