@@Nomads.Nation Absolutely nice! One main "issue" not so much comfortable in hot weather due lack of ventilation on the back. Thick snowy-rain with wind for about 1 hour -- no issue and no sign of any wet spots inside of backpack.
I have the black matador globe rider, i love it for travel and very minimal work, if everything is in your laptop and you just need a charger for it and a mouse, its perfect for it. That front admni pocket its perfect for storing a sling that way on flight you pop it out and use that a d leave the matador globerider on the overhead or under seat ❤
I think it looks fantastic in white! Very unique, a bit futuristic, I dig it. Not for me due to weight and lack of good tech compartment, but great design and it will be a good backpack for some.
The white’s too loud Black is way more subdued Plus, you can stow the hip belt through the back panel, the same zippered spot where the shoulder straps are stowed. Alternatively, you can wrap the hip belt and click them together around the front of the bag
Hi Aaron, great review! This is almost a perfect bag except with that front elastic pocket as it could potentially collect water in very wet conditions. This may not be a deal-breaker to some if quick external access is critical for them.
@@rockchalkbach I love it too, but I know many people in this community are a bit obsessed with water resistance, so it will be a deal breaker for them
I wonder why there are not many travel backpacks, bags that are rolltop-able? they can expand and basically controllable height, which are huge points, and the only time you need to keep your baggage height in check is when you are at the airport. You can just take things out and put them in your personal backpack and go on your plane. Plus they might be great for outdoor activities where you need to load lots of things.
I do agree that roll tops offer the benefits you are mentioning, but they usually have very very poor access to the main compartment which is not ideal for travel. Check out our review of the Alpaka Rolltop Travel Backpack to see what I mean
@@Nomads.Nation After looking at the Alpaka rolltop, I understand what you are saying. But I kept searching and found there are a few clamshell rolltops as well, seems like the best of both worlds. Like the attitude supply, the Summit Creative Tenzing, the Boundary Supply( I saw your video, that's how I know about that brand, and not much of a rolltop anyway).
Agree with u on the top front quick access pocket being easier while on plane (below front seat). Would love to see u review the Evergoods ctb26 and hear ur take on it, which it is also built for travel. Anywhere, nice review as always ^^
I have the black one. No way would i even attempt to put this thing under the seat. If it won't fit in the overhead bin, I check the bag. Personally, i bring an Osprey Airporter with me and secure it with the compression straps in case i need to check it.
Found the editing, cuts, and side commentary to be extremely distracting from the actual review. Doorbell cut with the packages was unnecessary. I’d suggest saving the outtakes and bloopers for the end.

Having this backpack in black color, for about 8 months. It's just awesome !!!
AMA
Awesome to hear! My question is how comfortable is it after breaking it in for so long?

Thanks for your feedback!!

agreed!
May be the laptop compartment has limited access but i tried my 16" laptop from lenovo and it fit with no problem other than that narrow opening
good to know!
Got the black one. That white is blinding
very intense lol

yea black is probably selling more than the whites
It should be illegal to make bags out of white materials
lol I dig it but yea, it's not the most practical solution
In addition to being prone to dirt, white and light colored bags look bigger than the same bag in black or dark colors.
@@d.nakamura9579they do say that black makes you (and patently your bag) look slimmer
Hi Aaron, great review!

Agreed - that pocket will have pros and cons depending on the user experience
I own this bag and absolutely LOVE the front pocket for quick grab and go things like jackets. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
@@rockchalkbach I love it too, but I know many people in this community are a bit obsessed with water resistance, so it will be a deal breaker for them
I'd use this as a gym/ martial arts training bag. Not a travel bag
Good call!
Yet another awesome review dude! 👌🏻
Am I the only person who hates waist belts that don’t come with pockets? 😂 such a no brainer to me
thanks dude! and yea, it seems like an easy way to add extra value to something, hopefully more carry brands start implementing this!

@@sylas9762 i'll be sure to check those out!
The black ripstop material is the UMHWPE. Indeed its a mouthful 😂
Cheers!

Gonna have a CTB26 review live in the next month or so 💪🏻
hidden back pocket 🤘🤘🤘🤘
💪🏻
A large backpack that didn't use a ridiculous amount of space & material for a laptop compartment? That's actually a major sell for me!
I think it will be for many people!
Can you review the Airback travel backpack please.
hoping to very soon!
Nice review! Globerider vs Six Moons ADC?
cheers! I'd pick the Matador ever so slightly
Pfoe that warranty was a downer.
The list still is at Tortuga lite, new cotopaxi, and after seeing you show the six moon design.
solid list 💪 be sure to let us know which you go with

I've heard good things about the Airporter
Got the black one
nice!
Good for travel and cool fall mornings when you have to stow a bulky jacket after it warms up
I have backpack rain covers for all my packs
I have on in my EDC bag at all times… never used it once lol but it’s nice to have jussttt in case
I do like the white but i went with the black bc it'll stay cleaner longer. If they made like a coyote brown with black highlights I'd be all over it.
coyote brown would be sick
4.5lbs is insanely heavy, they need to make a lighter version at around 2lbs in the 30-35L range 😅
its very comfy at the weight, but yea, its still very heavy
This pack has a lot going on…it’s pretty big and just a lot of “stuff”. I like something more simple. Not a fan of the open front pocket
cheers Dawn!
first

Thanks for your feedback!
This bag was looking so sick…until you opened the laptop compartment 😂
yea its not the best tech bag, which is a big pro for a lot of people (not myself tho)
