That front pocket is cool with the hook and loop part. Like you said, adding some admin panels would be easy. Take it from my samurai for example. Or good concealed carry spot.
It was created for the latter but it remains great for an admin pocket. It’s also surprisingly large in volume, making it ideal for larger or chunkier items.
Great review as always. Curious to hear your thoughts on this bag vs the Alpaka Metro Pro. Which of the two would you pick and why? Also, I know the Metro Pro is listed as 24L but which of the two can hold the most?
Thanks! Hmmm, they’re pretty different bags. The Alpaka feels more refined whereas the SERT is more rugged. I’d say the SERT holds more due to the external bottle pockets. Tough to make a call but I’d go with the Alpaka because of the dedicated tech storage for both a laptop and tablet. I don’t love the internal pouches on the Metro though.
@@ECsEDC Interesting choice. I guess the Penumbra reminded me of the Brown Buffalo Concealpack, which is not too dissimilar from the Metro Pro in terms of structure and features. And seeing as AON recently restocked this bag, I was considering giving it a chance. It seems to have a bunch of features I wished the Metro Pro had: external water bottle pockets, a top QA pocket and a full clamshell opening - the latter being my main gripe with the Metro Pro. And while it does certainly have a sleeker aesthetic, the Penumbra 2.0 seems to be a tad more functional. Thank for your response!
100% on the external bottle pockets. That is one of the best feature on this bag. I think you're right about functionality, but for me the biggest need is tech storage. I don't love when bags have an easy to access tech compartment. If you were leaning towards the Sert -- go for it.
You have a great channel with really awesome bags reviews. I am a subscriber and fan. Why are you afraid to talk about the front bottom pocket as it's intended purpose, a CCW compartment. It is literally advertised as such on their website. Front pockets: Top front QAP (quick access pocket) that is approximately 9" x 5.5" with a 4" x 2.25" loop patch in front with matching fabric cover. Side zippered access CCW pocket that is approximately 10" x 10". This CCW pocket has a loop back wall for you to mount a hook & loop compatible holster like our V-Kit.
@@ECsEDC for daily usage, i work in as a ER doctor, so a lot of things to bring while bringing a 24-26 is a bit heavy for me since i also have mild scoliosis. Looking for a comfy shoulder strap and nice back panel since i also sweat alot and great water resistant. Around the 250$ mark
@ Check out Able Carry Daily Plus (21L), Aer City Pack Pro (24L), and the CTactical 21. All around 2.5lbs empty and in the 21-24L range and very comfy.

Great bag, been really enjoying it! Also was that a requiem for a dream reference?! 🤣🤣
It’s a great one for sure! And no, not intentionally 🤣
@ my mind lives in the gutter so that’s where it immediately went 🤣
That’s a WILD movie
Great video! Also love all of the plants
Thanks so much!

the design looks plain, but impressive feature set for the price… esp. the removable luggage passthrough, thats a neat idea…
If u have to choose between this, ACDP 21L, CTB 20L, AER Pro Pack 20L, and CPL 16L, which one would you choose and why?
What’s the primary purpose for the bag?
tbb21
TBB21 is a fantastic bag, but unless you can snag one on the secondary, it’s much more expensive.
