Bomb ass review! I just ordered my mini for walks in the park. The water bottle and tech fittings really helped me decide if I wanted the original or small. Thanks. 👍
Yes I did get it. It is very similar except you have to loop it the mini straps to connect it, but once it’s connected it’s pretty secure. Very similar stability as the cadet.
Great review man, I think adding these into the rotation would be great. Since riding is a lifestyle, I believe it helps to know what others are using and what they think of it. I love Chrome Industries and their bags! I've had the same issue with slings when I used to ride with one (especially as it gets heavy). I made the switch to backpacks but its larger and gets stupid hot in the summer. I'm considering getting one of these for shorter rides.
Thanks Ivan! Yes I agree, this is definitely a lifestyle, an expensive lifestyle! 🤑 haha. I like to have options! I am a backpack rider as well, but this is definitely ideal for shorter rides. Thank for watching!!
Thanks Taiho! Yeah I think I saw you and some other riders with the bag and needed to try it out! I enjoy it! The stabilization strap definitely helps!
👋 The 13inch fits in if you angle it so I believe the 14inch would be pushing the limit. I don’t have one to personally try out, so it’s up to you if you want to try and squeeze it in. Good luck!
Bruh I did! It makes a world of difference for me. If you go with the mini I definitely recommend getting the stabilizer strap as well. You can always take it off when you don’t need it.
Unfortunately the mini stabilizer strap is out of stock...the full size strap is available though. Since you have both bags do you think the full size strap would work on the mini kadet? The mini kadet fits my use case but I don't want to buy it without a stabilizer strap and who knows if they'll ever restock the mini strap! Thanks for the great video.
The only reason I got the bigger one, is because I already have a smaller Moment sling. I definitely would’ve tried them both if I didn’t. Have you seen the Greenroom136 slings? I was so close to getting, but decided on the Chrome.
Hi Hunter, appreciate it! I am usually behind the camera on my ride vlogs, so I feel awkward when I am in front of the camera! Also trying to keep some anonymity.
@@ErockRodz fair enough. I feel a little bad now for asking! Not everyone wants to be filmed. Thanks for your honesty and humility. I meant no offence.

Did you get the stabilizer strap for the mini? How similar and stable is it compared with the regular Kadet?
Yes I did get it. It is very similar except you have to loop it the mini straps to connect it, but once it’s connected it’s pretty secure. Very similar stability as the cadet.
Seriously you are becoming a natural at these reviews brother. Keep them coming!!!!!!
Thank you Juan! I really appreciate that! Thanks for your ongoing support!
yeah man. keep the different types of vids going. i don't mind them at all. informative.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Will do!

Thanks for the great comparison and hands on with the bag! Really helps to see someone handle it.
I am glad you found it helpful!
Nice review. I have the black cadet, not too bulky, and fits well with the extra underarm strap
Thanks Taiho! Yeah I think I saw you and some other riders with the bag and needed to try it out! I enjoy it! The stabilization strap definitely helps!
I just bought the Chrome/Black Kadet Sling (big one) today!
How ironic! That is awesome! It is a really nice bag, you are going to love it! 🤙
3:50 Hi, I really want to order this bag! But, it is complicated to find the strap available as an option (stabilizer). Did you finally buy it?
Hey there! Yes I did get it and it made a big difference in stability. It’s always sold out thou unfortunately!
The strap is back in stock for 10.00 directly from chrome. eBay has it for 24
would a macbook pro 14 also fit in the larger kade?

Do these sit horizontally when it's sitting in the front?
It sits on a diagonal, similar to wearing on the back.
You didn’t show the hidden compartment inside the lock pad on the left
Wow that is so hidden I didn’t even know about it! I will have to do an update video at some point. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. There are tons of hidden pockets in Chrome and Alpaka
did you get the stabilizer strap to test it?
Bruh I did! It makes a world of difference for me. If you go with the mini I definitely recommend getting the stabilizer strap as well. You can always take it off when you don’t need it.
@@ErockRodz Could you make an updated video please?
@@suren123a I’ll see what I can do!

Thanks for the great video.
I’ll look into this this weekend. I’ll try to make a short video as well to update you on it. Appreciate the support!

Gotcha! No I have not heard of it, I will have to check them out! I really love Chromes quality, it will be hard to match!
Oh man no sponsors yet
😢
Too cold outside
Haha you can say that again! That’s why I am indoors doing reviews! 😂
👋👍👍👍👋

Nice reviews but why hide your face?

No worries at all! Appreciate you watching!
They should be named:
Mini kadet --> KADET.
Kadet --> JUMBO KADET.
I believe they actually have a newer bigger version that should be called the jumbo!
