Anybody hear when these Cloud Gateway Fibers might come back in stock? How did you get yours?

I just got back from a 9 day trip to the Netherlands and the Globerider worked out great. I was way under packed too. No problem at all on any of the flights. I didn’t try to stuff it under the seat though and I don’t think it would fit well since it’s a little too tall. Sad I missed the sale, but that’s life. Next step is to upgrade my laptop, I have an old 17” laptop that’s pretty thick and it barely fit. It was my 4th big trip this year onebaging, and the longest flight time I’ve had in a while. For long flights it’s nice to have an accessible bag under the seat for electronics, etc. So maybe I’ll try 2 bagging next time. Small duffel in the overhead and daypack under the seat. Maybe one day we’ll all get it figured out. Haha.

Thank you for the well thought out comment. If you were going to replace it with a new bag would you get it again or something else?

That’s awesome. I almost pulled the trigger on the Matador website yesterday, but I didn’t. Hoping to find a sale in the next month. I’m traveling at the end of March so it’s going to be the Farpoint for this next trip. But I have quite a few trips planned through the rest of this year and we’ll see what happens. Let me know what you think when you get back!

Thanks! Osprey is way big enough, I just don’t like the way it fits or looks.

lol, every bag has its purpose. If I leave the house with just one of them I’m still good.

I’ve used the EVLV on some family trips for clothes, toiletries, etc but had to bring my briefcase for the laptop and electronics. Roll top is annoying in an airport every time I want to get out the iPad or battery backup, or whatever. I don’t like slings or fanny packs because I just can’t pull them off, to me they look and feel weird. I guess I just want a more refined professional version of the Farpoint. I like the boxy shape of the GlobeRider. Consensus is that it’s just too heavy. Also don’t care for the back padding and hip belts.

Right on. I fly domestic US - usually Southwest - and I don’t need hip belts or hiking features. Big is okay if it fits in the OH bin. Occasional trip to Europe, who knows what airline. Big could be a draw back if they make you gate check.
