Hey everyone!
I'm looking into getting a co-pilot, and can't decide between halcyon or the 525 ballistic.
I have a halcyon sidekick, I'm just not sure how halcyon version of the co-pilot will look like over the shouder- all pics I have seen shows halcyon CP on a surface. Since the sidekick is smaller, the "stretch" of the material will be obviously different from a larger bag.
Pics and reviews I've seen for the ballistic CP is mostly about how stiff it is, but these were referring to the 1050 ballistic, not the 525.
I have a 525 maker's bag, which is lined on all sides with halcyon. My understanding is that CP's outer walls are *not* lined, looking at the pics so far.
I plan to use the CP as my EDC as I'm shifting away (somewhat) from backpacks. MB is too big for that although I can still use it for a gym/swim bag after this pandemic has subsided. I'm looking for fabric for CP that is not too boxy as the 1050 appears, also not too saggy (i'm not sure whether halcyon (unlined) will give that effect).
What I need to know is how CP will look like when carried, both full and half full, in both halcyon and 525. Will the 525 be too boxy when in use? Will it "give" substantially when packed full? Will the halcyon version sag when the bag is half ful yet heavy? (E.g. carying a 12" tablet, notebook, daily junk).
Does anyone here happen to have both versions, and willing to share some pics for comparison? Or, simple description will do too if pics are too much of a hassle.
I'd be forever grateful, thanks!!
