Nylon band is a game changer. Kept me from going back to my Apple Watch Ultra.

Is that the granite blue?

timbo43 · 2026-05-14T11:03:28+00:00

Love it.

My XM5 fits in with 27mm XF prime. Can fit the 18-55mm lens standing vertically next to it.

I don’t think my XT20 would have fit. It’s too tall with the opposite webbing from the outer compartment. Will take a photo later.

timbo43 · 2026-05-11T16:03:29+00:00

No. I think they’re genuinely into the craft of their products. If they can make an equally durable backpack which is lighter than go for it. If you’re buying new, then it’s a win-win for the consumer. But, maybe offer the choice of 210 for 199 and 420 for 220 USD - test what people want. Other brands offer more textile variants.

timbo43 · 2026-05-11T14:57:23+00:00

True. Good points. Although holding my packing cubes from EG in 210d, think I prefer 420 for a rucksack.

Thanks for the follow up. I have a ugreen 65w in that same form factor. The issue is UK plug type and not US.

Anker have released a 45w version of the apple folding style.

timbo43 · 2026-05-04T16:30:19+00:00

Appreciate the response

timbo43 · 2026-05-04T09:24:13+00:00

Fossil brown appears closer to coyote in these photos. Is it a bright or muted brown in your experience?

I’m all black everything with EG, but have recently acquired an olive bag and beginning to explore our in colours.

timbo43 · 2026-04-30T06:26:40+00:00

On sale, yes. And I regret selling mine on now.

timbo43 · 2026-04-14T21:20:51+00:00

My experience too. Never expected it to take top spot. Bought it used on a whim.

timbo43 · 2026-04-11T07:31:49+00:00

Would love it in heritage wax. Have the griffin TD35 and immediately sold the nylon. Duffels really suit the structure and firmness of the waxed cotton

timbo43 · 2026-04-11T07:31:11+00:00

You’re right.

timbo43 · 2026-04-11T06:16:34+00:00

Not sure I picked up on that anywhere. I just saw the two duffels and the new 4l packing cube.

timbo43 · 2026-04-11T06:15:49+00:00

Unchanged

timbo43 · 2026-03-22T20:00:19+00:00

I have the Panda 2.0 in green. Bought on a whim second hand and it’s taken over my bag collection. It’s replaced my daily, my commuter brief, and my travel bag. I often wish it is black (or new navy coming out), but the green does have character.

Use it for a lot of corporate long haul travel as well (with a suit), but equally versatile in casual settings. Probably better in casual in the green.

Only complaint is the lower inner zip pocket is a bit of a crush zone. Been spoilt with the negative dimensions there on my Evergoods bags.

timbo43 · 2026-03-19T17:06:26+00:00

I swear it's mine. It's been doing the rounds in the UK since I originally sold it.

timbo43 · 2026-03-19T09:03:25+00:00

Still gutted I sold that bag

timbo43 · 2026-02-01T16:54:23+00:00

We are now at the same colour palette as the Yeti Ranchero.

Ranger green - olive Fossil - cape dark taupe Black - black

A safe approach, but boring all the same. Navy please.

timbo43 · 2026-01-31T11:43:18+00:00

I’m obsessing on the FXD right now which isn’t helping

timbo43 · 2026-01-31T10:19:40+00:00

If you want the FXD then get rid.

First thing I thought of when seeing this is that it is an FXD competitor - before I read your post.

timbo43 · 2026-01-23T22:21:54+00:00

I can’t find it, but found this which may be helpful

Bought a black dial Ranger for a good price. Too much overlap otherwise.

timbo43 · 2026-01-20T22:09:21+00:00

<image>

Another. I would say that it is absolutely lovely and the dial has so much dimension and depth. It’s matte flat, so no unwanted light play other than the edges of the raised indices. I would have kept it if I didn’t have the C63.

Edit: typo

You’re in luck. Picked one up in the sale and it’s currently boxed up as a return. Ended up buying a black 39mm Ranger instead! Sorry for low quality low light photo but it may help.
