    I’m proud to see so many great carry brands coming out of Australia (Alpaka, Bellroy, Rushfaster, particularly). Seems like uniqueness and innovation were front of mind, though a lot of the features makes this a pass for me

    I used Aer, Boundary Errant, Wandrd Prvke lite for daily and I realised that I cannot use heavy and boxy backpack. And we all have tech pouches I guess so we don't need so many internal organisation. I was considering to get Able Carry or Rushfaster. This bag looks more beautiful than photos and size is better for my needs than Able Carry 13. Also basic thin top handle is better for daily bags because we can hang wherever we want. Thick top handle gets damaged when hanged and not joyful to carry after. I wish this bag has more color options and aegean blue internal color would be nice. Thanks for the review. Helped me to decide.

    • @Nomads.Nation

    Did you mention the place for the airtag? Been carrying this for a couple weeks. It's got a great hand feel. The separation in the top QA pocket helps alleviate the lack of 2 QA pockets. Downside is people who need a QA pocket for larger items won't like it. Also carries comfortably without a sternum strap, imo, and I'm a diehard sternum strap person. Cheers

    I got the bag when it came out, but to be honest, the lack of a sternum strap really killed it for me. And, the internal water bottle pocket is also not my favorite. (I got burned when I ruined a laptop with a water bottle that cracked open in my bag.) Agreed that it feels tight for a 22-liter bag. It's a nice-looking bag, for sure. But even with my own sternum strap add-on, it doesn't really fit someone with more ... umm .. chest girth? I'm a wide-shouldered man ... This was definitely created for thinner folks.

    • @Nomads.Nation
      @Nomads.Nation  Год назад +1

      Interesting perspective, and I agree about the sternum strap. The older I get the more I need them

    Perhaps the RF 16 is designed for the Australian usages. A workperson backpack, it's not on your back for that long to worry about chest straps & ventilation. The internal water bottle is great for cold & hot beverages, Great for the hygienically inclined especially nowadays with viruses, dirt & dust in the air. We like it.! We do feel that no matter the costs, all backpack should deliver. Designers & Makers watch your show because they can get valuable feedback thus making future backpacks as good as FYRO.!

    Not bad, it’s good to have more in this price range. I like it can fit a 16” laptop vs something similar but smaller like the Alpaka metro backpack. I too am a sternum strap guy. For this sort of look and size I’m probably most drawn to the moment everything bags, plus I like the construction yellow….

      @@semzip8558 totally see your point, but I would say that lots of laptop bags are following this trend now, so it's not just Rushfaster.

    Moved away from pouch needy bags years ago. Minimalist for a bag means its cheaper to build. Also, that back panel will cause sweaty back issues even in moderate temps. Last, outside water bottle holders do alot more than just hold water bottles. In my opinion this just screams poor design.
