Could you show/tell us how deep the interior zipped pocket goes? And does the laptop compartment go all the way to the bottom of the bag?

Could you comment on how cold it was? I’m having a lot more trouble with the masks these days now that it’s cold out, since they quickly feel damp and frozen against my face!

I actually have used the hip belt with gatekeeper ends. It worked well enough for me, for occasional use, but it was kinda floppy. And it looked like it might be putting stress on the seams in a way...

I still really like the tri-glides on the strap system. They aren’t perfect but once installed are pretty fuss-free. And if they could be installed at the factory, before the strap ends are folded...

Most of the time I appreciate the sleek exterior of my Synapse 19, but one in a while I could really use an external attachment point. Like, say, yesterday when I needed to carry my kid’s wet swim...

This is a Halcyon Side Kick rather than ballistic, but here’s my Sony WH-1000XM3s inside, along with 3 14.8x21 cm Rhodia notebooks (A5 size I think, or close).
...

Not bad! I had to take one pair off and rip back a bit because they were too big, but I’m done the toes and into the feet. Morale remains high, although it’s becoming clear that we’re gonna be here a...

Well, because it’s time to up my knitting game, I decided to try TAAT socks. That’s toe-up socks, Twelve At A Time.

The Pick Up Truck makes a splendid project bag for this madness.

IMO it’s a bit tough to make comparisons between 1050 and 525 because the weave is different - 1050 is a bit... glossy is too strong, but it has more sheen. The two fabrics in indoor light can look...

I started playing the guitar last summer, and I find it absorbing like nothing else. I’ve never done anything musical in my life (listened, yes, but never actually created) before this, and it takes...

I think I’m going to replace the clip in my Ego with one of those Fidlocks!

I really like a dragonfly knot tied in a bright colour.

I haven’t misplaced my wedding ring once since I started putting it directly on a carabiner clipped to an o-ring whenever I take it off. (This was in the bag hacks video.)

And the HLT 2 hangs nicely at the top of the S25:

The bulk of diamond stopper knot seems to be plenty to keep it from slipping out - I’ve been using this for a week and it’s been very...

The Handy Little Thing (size 2 in my case) makes a really great addition to the main pocket of my Synapse 25; I like it as an organizer within the bag but also as a grab-and-go bag with my essentials...

Cross-country skiing, Falcon Lake, Manitoba, with my Cloud/Island S25.

I have a Nik’s Minimalist Wallet, and it’s works great for cards and cash, but it doesn’t help me with coins. My ideal wallet would be kind of a hybrid of a mini Clear Organizer Pouch and a Pocket...

I have done this with some of the pen slots on various Freudian Slips, and have been very pleased.

I have an A45 laundry stuff sack, and it works well for me in the way you described.

For sweaters I would definitely go with the A45 size, and even that might be small. Do you have a Tall Yarn...

I’m in Canada. I usually seem to get hit with about $30-35 due on delivery by UPS, almost regardless of what/how much I order. My approach has been just factor it into the cost of the bags.

I...

I have replaced my metal pulls with tightly-tied snake knots (I learned from Snake Knot Tutorial) which, while certainly not as rigid as the metal tabs, aren’t floppy. They feel fairly substantial to...

Mine took a while to get to me, but I’ve had a chance to use them a bit now, and I think that these are a very good solution to the danglies. I have been using them on the ends of the sternum straps,...

I have a pair of the Sony NC over-ear headphones (WH1000MX3, or something like that) and really like them. They are definitely bulky but I get enough use and enjoyment from them compared to ear buds...

I have a six-year-old Navy Parapack S19, and it definitely shows scuffs much more easily than my 525 Ballistic S25. My Ballistic bags looked brand new for quite a bit longer.

But the scuffs are...

I see Mars Red as a brick red colour. I wouldn’t consider it loud but it stands out more than a neutral colour such as grey or black.

I think of Cloud as kind of a pewter grey - it’s darker than...
