Great review. Wish I had this vs my MR SPARTANOLOGY when we did 2-Countries Travel. I'd imagine placing this in my half-full Carry On Roll Luggage and deploy this as we explore different cities by day. On the way back, I'd check in my now full-of-souvenirs roll on Luggage and use this as Carry On bag. I agree using Zoid bags. They help organize and give proper shape and balance to the In-and-Out bag
The more I use the pack, the more I like it. Only drawback is if it is a hot climate the back does not breath. To get a breathable fabric, you have to go to a more substantial pack in terms of weight and packability. Pro tip, a small, chilled hydration pack help to keep it cooler on the back.
@@filipinophreak just did a couple days at Busch gardens Virginia. I saw a few people with similar bags carrying for the family. They are nice and small but they will still make you leave them for most of the rides. The advantage of a small bag is that they fit in the cubbies provided. Id really look at DW rules carefully. Some parks only alow mesh or transparent plastic bags. It’s for safety but in reality they want you buying their stuff. Given the temps, you might sweat along you back a bit more since there is no padding or wicking mesh. I know that’s not the best answer, but things to consider. Have fun
Nice review! Do you think i would be able to carry a big proper sized tripod on the side? And also if someone really wanted, would a 15" inch laptop fit inside?
If it was me, I would look at a bag that is more suited to the role. For a laptop, it will fit but there is not internal structure nor padding. For the tripod, it all depends on the size and weight of the tripod. I carry a mini (as seen in the b-roll shots), fold out tripod that is 18" no problem but a more standard 24" would stick above the top of the pack if you'r using the side pocket. It depends on your intended use, but the extra size and weight to not only protect your equipment but carry it confidently is a good trade off. Mystery Ranch District 24, Urban assault 21, or 2 day assault might be better options. Big variable is the tripod and if it is inside or striped on the outside.
How would you describe the waterproofness / resistance of this bag for walking around in low/medium rain? Seams aside, is this the type of nylon that is basically waterproof, or does water end up wetting through it?
Pretty much your standard pack cloth treated for water resistance. It will do ok with a short duration rain. The larger flap of the 22 is a big help in this regard. The smaller one doesn’t have this and might be more susceptible. I like light weight nylon dry bays or ziplock bags for important items like first aid, documents or toilet paper. Not really sure how well a pa k cover would work given lack of structure. I’ve bee traveling in Asia using it everyday and I still love the bag. Cheers

Good good job! Have a nice time! Ciao
Thank you! You too!
