Some cool ideas! I think the buckles that disconnect the straps from the backpack are inspired by military plate carriers, which have buckles like that to quickly take off the heavy armor when it's no longer required. I'm not quite convinced by this implementation though, it's probably sturdy enough but I would be worried about how well the plastic holds up over time. And also having the little pull tab get caught on something like you said. Maybe a slightly less accessible or more secure "quick" disconnect would be better. It looks good though, and I like that they kept the branding to a minimum.
I guess the QD shoulder strap can also be configured as a sling (hence the grab handle underneath), the optional single aluminum stays compartment and the fishbone padding is a cool feature.
Yes youre right I forgot to mention that. Its designed for easy conversion into a sling style bag. Very nice bag overall and I also forgot to mention how lightweight it is, only 710g / 1.6lbs
This backpack should, considering its high price, stand hard wear while being lightweight, and I like Nitecore gear because it is quality. However, my Pelican U140 has lasted many years as is used as a medical backpack, in addition to its topside built-in hard case that is waterproof and has an air valve. As I'm a medical professional I depend on hard use gear, so recommend you take a look at Peli cases and backpacks, especially if you're wanting urban hard use gear lasting _at least_ 20 years. I liked your video and your channel is excellent. All the best from Wendi 🌻
Hey Wendi, yes this bag is still going strong although I dont use it every day it does make a great 'go back' or medi pack as you suggested. Its well built and I think it'll last, maybe I'll do an update on it in a few years
i am not a fan of the whole tactical look to begin and then most of these bags seem very derivative of each other, but but this does show some thought and invention by the manufacturer. The black material and absurd amount of molle webbing will keep me from ever considering one but that harness system especially seems very impressive.
Totally get it, I prefer a cleaner more minimal look too but I think these kind of bags do have their place. It is very comfortable to carry and the quick release system is interesting
Sorry, English is not my native language, but I have to say it 1. end-to-end department is a very bad decision. there are little things that will get lost in one big compartment. If there were two departments, then this problem could be solved. 2. Incorrect locks on the upper straps. Removed too easily. You may be caught and the backpack will fall. The lower ones are made more correctly.
Great design, but few pockets, no hidden pockets in the back, laptop compartment should be in the back, only the single large compartment. Bad lightning at this price, oh my god, it's just a piece of rope! As a result, it is too expensive and thoughtless. I do not recommend this. Anyway, thanks for the review.

Nice video mate. Definitely looking forward to seeing that trip packing video with this pack!

yeh definitely full of pros and cons but I personally think its overall a good bag but no for everyone

the best analogue is AMP10 from the company 5.11
Quite similar although that AMP10 is a bit heavier while empty
@@PackingLess different materials.
1000D is bombproof.

I find that Velcro tends to get bunged up with animal fur and all kinds of strands of fibres - much prefer a good 2 way zip that can be locked
Yeah thats true, that flap is my least favourite part of the design
Is the backpack has waterproof?
No waterproof and not very water resistant either
They're called morale patches.

Fair points, I agree theres certainly a lot of room for improvement but theres some interesting ideas in here
