    I am looking for a pack for day hikes, and commuting on my bike or truck. I just found your channel, enjoyed this review , and am liking your other pack reviews. Thanks for the detailed, straightforward review, here. I am definitely agreeing with you, too busy , etc. , trying to do too much for one pack.

    So cool you reviewed it I appreciate it. I love this bag for edc but the points you made are definitely valid. I can see why some wouldn't want to carry this as it does have a vibe. But it's kind of my style so I think it works. I also agree with you that the beaver tail top attachment needs to be reworked s little. Thanks again for reviewing this bag.

      Honestly some of the stuff you pointed out was stuff I felt too. I think this is V2 so maybe v3 they can improve on some things.
      As far as sugestions:

      Arc'teryx Nomin
      Vertx Ready Pack
      Blue force gear
      Haley strategic flatpacks

    I actually love the idea of having such a burly capable hip belt even for a smaller capacity backpack--speaking as someone who always overloads her bag haha. Wish that more EDC bags at this capacity have that kind of capable load-transferring hip belt (but removable so that people who don't want it can remove it).

  • @Giuseppe_Paolillo
    @Giuseppe_Paolillo 4 года назад +2

    Anyway I agree: too much call of duty in this pack but there is also to say that I think that this is a specifically military designed backpack, not so much for EDC. I mean, that hip belt is obviously too large for a 24l, and it is so in order to attach molle pouches

    Thanks for the review George. Its not a new bag, but if you want a tactical style backpack done right with quality materials, thick high vis lining, items accessible from the side, comfortable and small enough for urban edc try the Vanquest Trident 21 gen 3. Cheers.

    Thanks for your great review. The unfortunate part of my experience with Prometheus Design Werx was when I had this shipped internationally (Canada) and got stuck with massive brokerage fees ($100+) when most other companies preclear these products for that. I requested them to put the reference on their website in the shipping section, but they were completely unwilling to do this and simply said it was my problem to take up with the carrier.
    As much as I'm likely to enjoy this bag, I will not be purchasing any more of their products.

    I have a first generation Condor Solveig Assault Pack, and it also is very busy with a beaver tail setup, it too will not stand up on its own. And at 3+ pounds it's very heavy for a small "daypack." $198 for the pack you reviewed is a lot of money for a bag that doesn't know what it really is or supposed to be. One.

    Good job ! I get one and I really agree with all your criticism about it. This bag is a good prototype : full of good ideas but not really effective in real life, neither tactical nor low profile, not even place inside, where are the 24L, I wonder ?

    • @GeorgeDEFINED

      Since the back has two main compartments it leaves you without much to work with in either one. This pack missed the mark for me.. See ya Florian..
