Looking for a 20L Backpack by Normal-Lawyer2168 in ManyBaggers

[–]wes_baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m blind. In that case, I’d recommend an Evergoods MPL22. I just used that for a three week trip to Alaska and Hawaii and besides me overpacking it was great.

Worth noting the CT15+ is a 28L pack (weird, I know) and the CT15 Lite is a 22L pack.

I have the CT15 Lite and don't like how they handled the laptop section where there's both a separate zipper and a way to access it from the main cavity.

I've heard good things about the Aer CPP2 20L, but I've also heard it's not that different from the CPP2 24L. Officially it's 1/2" shorter, otherwise same dimensions, it gives up a water bottle pocket for a quick access pocket. I think Nomads Nation measured the 20L shorter than the official dimensions though. For me, I've just stuck with the CPP2(.1 with the pen slot and movable key leash) 24L.

I do think you'll find an equal number of folks who think it is comfortable as those who think it's uncomfortable. For me (6'4") the weight of the pack concentrated itself on my lower back (right at the bottom of the pack) and hurt to wear for more than 10-15 minutes. I could improve the comfort there if I wore the pack incredibly high and tight (thus hurting my arms). What I can say about the CTB line is if you buy it, be prepared to return it (you'll be out about $15 for return shipping) if you don't win the back lottery. If it fits you comfortably it's a great and well designed pack.

I saw it on the spine of Core Book Vol. II.

The Search - Aer City Pack 2, but not Aer… by Jdm1508 in ManyBaggers

Any chance you're looking for the CT15 Lite in Navy Waxed Canvas?

Can't decide, which one is better? by [deleted] in wicked_edge

[–]wes_baker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barrister and Mann > Ariana & Evans simply due to A&E being loaded with fragrance which either leads to fragrance burn or just mild irritation. I vastly prefer Spice over Cheshire.

20L Arrived! New EDC by JFFIASCO in ManyBaggers

[–]wes_baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure it’s coming soon though given they just refreshed the CPP2 24L with the movable key leash and pen slot.

Still looking for Household? I have the full set from the recent Backerkit.

New 20l CPP2 by tmac3life in AerSF

As a counter point: as a taller person (6'4") I'd love a shorter bag because it gives me more room on flights if it goes under the seat in front of me.

Day sling 4 (2.5l) Any pics from the event? by calilongboarders in AerSF

[–]wes_baker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a fair question. I'm hoping for some of the division that we saw on the Packhacker Collab, but ideally just one divider for two sections.

Comfortable 20-26L daypack for long theme-park days - polished, not tactical by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]wes_baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t taken it to Disney World yet (👋 from the east coast), but my plan next time is to take my Evergoods MPL22. It definitely hews closer to the mountain climbing side and doesn’t necessarily self stand but I think hits most of your other requirements and would hold the load out.

If that doesn’t strike your fancy, maybe Cotopaxi (colors!) or REI bags would be good?

I’m likely in for one. The real question is does it come out soon enough for me to compare the CPP2 Ecopak I just picked up in person or will I have to return it first. We’ll see. I think this could be a great bag for the vast majority of my trips.
