Anyone bought the alchemy design carryology collaboration 222?

Not sure if it's too big to be EDC. Love the looks though

Received AEL222 this week.
Good size as EDC gym bag I think.
Materials and design very nice. Love the red lining and subdued grey camo exterior. I am tall and it fits my back well. Straps are comfy.

Minor Negatives:
Not much internal organisation if you want that.
I don’t get the point of the laptop ejector.
Waist belt stowage holes are ridiculously small. I doubt it’s ever coming out again.
Minor fabric defect on my pack but Alchemy have ignored my emailed complaint. Not important enough for me to send it back but their QC and customer service is questionable.

I hope to keep using mine for a long time.

Mine only took 3 days!
I think it might go under the seat but it’s a long bag so it will probably impinge on your floor space.

Wow that's fast. I usually step on my bags so I guess it's ok lol.


Actually now I'm kinda regretting since it feels like a huge back for EDC, plus I'm not very big size

Yours is 21 or 26L? Mine 21L, can pack quite a bit depending on where im going. I went brisbane for a week using gr1, only the shopping items end up cause my packing to be messy

Mine is the 21, but seldom have nowadays, sometimes I find the strap too thick
