Would it be long enough to shoot in portrait?

How does it compare to the Matador GlobeRider 45L? I am considering that one vs the 40L GoRuck for myself, and it would be helpful if you give me your views. Thank you! ;-)

great video. thank you for addressing the height of the bag and how the 26L may be too tall for those on the shorter side.

Simply love your reviews.

As someone who has purchased numerous Porter Yoshida products before these crazy price hikes, I personally think that the quality is not there imo for the money spent.

Do you think a 14inch Macbook Pro would fit in the bag without it looking deformed?

Thanks for clarifying you don't participate in the rucking challenges. The audience was on the edge of its seats about the leaderboard

I wish everyone wouldn't just regurgitate this nonsense 'bombproof" claim. Aren't the owners like some special forces/CIA/overthrowing governments people? they should know even teency bombs can easily destroy a backpack. Have you seen the Palestinian refugee tent camps?

This Porter tanker is now officially discontinued!!! Soon to be a collector's item..I was lucky , I managed to buy this tanker but in black last year.

The problem comes once you put it on. I ordered 10 travel bags to try out and I liked this one by far the best when packing it. Was sure it was going to be the winner, just had to not be the most uncomfortable thing in history when I put it on. Unfortunately it was, in fact, the most uncomfortable thing in history. And this comparison was mostly against other backpack duffels, not even travel backpacks. Stuff like the osprey transporter, patagonia black hole, etc. The Seg45 was SO much more uncomfortable than any of them. The main issue is that it sits REALLY high. I'm 6ft tall and the bottom of the bag was more than a 3rd of the way up my back. The "hip belt" was half way between my nipples and my belly button. This not only feels weird on your back, it causes the bag to tip backwards and pull a lot harder on your shoulders. There is also one lone piece of stiff material in the whole bag, which covers half of the bottom. If the bag is not JAM PACKED (I had it pretty packed, my not quite zipper exploding packed) then this piece crumples. It also happens to sit exactly where the bottom of the bag touches your back, so you've got this hard crumpled thing digging into your back right where the most pressure is. Felt like someone was jamming a fist into my back and just holding it there. It was actually remarkable to me how uncomfortable it was. Even compared to other backpack duffels.

Does the matador and or goruck meet carry on standard for American airlines?

The sage green color will eventually turn into silver/orange tone over time I still enjoy collecting Porter products for over ten years from now

Love the strap… hate that’s it’s made in Canada 😅

They are the Land cruisers of backpacks.

Was looking into this but realised it was discontinued! shame

hi, does the bag have luggage pass through functionality?

It needs compression straps at that price point. No way that zipper will keep it structurally sound for very long with a lot of traveling.

The weight doesnt matter on this bag. If your airline restricts the weight for your carry-on then the size of the bag is too big for that airline as a carry-on anyway. When it comes to weight and comfort then the thing that matters most is how well the harness system works. This one is excellent as you demonstrated. Id rather carry this pack fully packed out than a 30L bag with a bad harness system. My zipper was super tight when i first got it too, but by the end of the trip it was fine. The zipper pulls did lose the shrink wrap and i will be looking to upgrade them i think. If you carry this bag you do need to have a plan for your tech if you have to check it. I carried a camera bag too that had a space for my laptop (made by wandrd). When i got to the airport, the matador got put inside an osprey airporter that i strapped on the outside of the matador with the compression straps. Then the camera bag got carried on with me. I think this is the best large carry-on that you can get. There are so many different ways that you can pack it and set it up for different trips. I love it.

How’s this bag holding up? Do you still recommend it as your top day pack with kids?

I wish I would have gotten the 26 L.

I have the same pair. I appreciate you're going to the full effort to soak to shrink. When I was a kid we took our raw/unsanforized denim and just washed it---hot, hung them till they were mostly dry, put them in the dryer to get out ALL of the shrink. This is heresy, of course but I'm here to say it works, there was no marbling or untoward marking. This "hard" wash gets out every last bit of shrink. The "trick" is to buy them not one but two sizes up. From your description you and I are the same size (I'm a bit shorter), mine were tagged 38 and are now a true 34. I think your method is by far safer but I think there is still some shrink left in those jeans---keep them on cold and don't put them in the dryer 'cause you will get more shrinkage.

Stay cool ❤❤

I could see a world where i put two slim packing cubes in the bottom and a accessories/shoes in the segmants.

ポーター tanker pouch 멋진 아이템이고 실제로 일본에선 classic, 한국에서도 유행인 제품이지만 세탁이 불가능하고 보기완 달리 방수가 안되는 소재이며 오염에도 취약한데다가 색빠짐 현상까지 있어서 개인적으로 EDC bag으로 쓰기에는 좋지 않다고 생각 오히려 ポーター heat pouch가 적합

These are pretty pricey. I’ll probably go for full count or warehouse before trying these. They look beautiful after the soak 🙌

bro! I made that camera strap! Ah thank you so much man 😄 I really appreciate that kind review

I found a pair of new with tags 80s Levi's 501 STF size 36x38. My normal size in most everything is 32x34. I'm 6'1"and 185 lbs. The waist came out perfect, but the length dropped to 37. I got them hemmed, so they're fine. I have no plan to do it again. The potential financial loss is just too great.

Great video! Appreciate the detailed STF breakdown, mate! Cheers 🤘👖

Nice video! I just bought my self my first salvage jeans and this is very informative.

Hey Matt! We're huge porter fans too!! Why am I not surprised, haha. Sweet video.

Hey Mate, thanks for the review, really helpful!

I like the bar soap holder works pretty well have had positive experiences with it. They also have a pocketable towel that apparently dries off pretty quick but they're too small and also prefer the regular thick towels, I can see a use case for it but too small. The pocket blanket is interesting that comes with its own built in stakes to keep in place and would be nice in theory to use at the beach, parks or in the woods?

I hated their laptop sleeve, it was too tight, too overengeinnered. I had to return this because I just wanted something that allows my laptop to slide in and out while keeping the laptop sleeve inside my bag.

Interesting video I think it would be more fun to do a rating system for each item like @Jeremy Jahns does with movies. It'd make it more fun and give a nice digestiable conclusion for each item. 💪

Above 2 kilos, pushes it immediately in the 'reject' pile.

But what about Portrait orientation

Way to thin😮 Neck pain is guaranteed😢

Looks like a lovely well made strap but if i put my Leica M11 on that and wondered round central London I'd basically be wearing a big 'mug me?' sign.

I know the guy in feildworks..no literally but he makes good straps

Thanks for the detailed breakdown on the 34L, very clear and helpful. Just grabbed my own GR2 34L in Olive, been eyeing that color forever and it finally restocked.

This one actually looks nicer than the one from clever supply co. The leather looks beefier and the stitching is much preferred to the rivets, personally anyway. Nice video man!

this might work with a small rangefinder style camera and a smaller lens (or maybe a medium format folder), but not with anything bigger. can't imagine this with a Pentax 645, even with the smallest lens, the 75/2.8. Side for me. Peak Design, but I have also a nice leather strap and an OPTech...

I mean PM said it was "The way", so..... Nope, not my type of camera strap. I prefer the Peak Design Leash for versatility with my Fuji, and the quick disconnects to hang other camera on it when switching camera bodies. I have used the Peak Design Slide for many years with my big heavy DSLR's with 70-200mm 2.8 lenses and never ran into any issues or worries that it would fail.

😂 I watched that PMcn and tried to get one too - what length is the one you went for?

Thanks for the video. In the specs of the bag it says that the depth is 13 cm. That would be including the external pockets right?

Great video man! Love the EG jungle jacket especially. Almost grabbed one, but couldn't pin down what the texture of their "cotton sheeting" would be like in person. Looking like I missed out haha. Also your kids picked an awesome watch, tough to go wrong with a Casio.

Hey I just saw this review and really enjoyed it. Have you tried using this backpack for long distance walking?

This bag or the SEG45? Thanks for the in-depth reviews! Going to Asia for 2 weeks and want a 1 carry backpack.

Does a 16 inch macbook pro fit?

Be careful with the straps, The woodland canvas bags have apparently been plagued with issues of ripping seams. Whomever they contracted this release out to dropped the ball.
