Does anyone have experience with the Able Carry XPAC bag in white alpine? How does the material fare against yellowing? TIA

You can try the bag shop at Suntec on level 1.



You can check out this video compare 5L vs 10L

You can also consider the sling from dayfarer. This one-man company is gaining a lot of positive reviews from his backpack and sling

And he is really smart to use the same Vietnam factory as PD

Nice. U got buy their field pockets also ah? I lazy to upload mine to post.. Can show my bullet packing.

Got buy but not using much.

Just gotten my alchemy equipment ael222. I love the feel and quality of the bag. So far the only bad thing is there is no elastic band to manage the excess straps. For such an expensive bag it's no excuse. Also no way to properly keep the sternum strap

Just saw the PD travel bag on the MRT.

Gosh... imo It's far too big for me as an EDC
Lucky I backed the Errant

It feels good to me. Loads of camera shops carry Peak bags. Try TK at Plaza Sing. Alan’s at Raffles City has some Peak too.

the elastic band issue can be solved using Web Dominators, Carousell should be selling em for cheap, maximum SGD2 per piece.

the sternum strap prob can roll it up and use velcro strips to secure it, this will prob means there will be two bobs flying around whenever you walk but thats the best management for it i can think of hehe

Btw, u using Pixel3? I'm gonna sidetrack a bit, but can i ask if you have any complaints about the Pixel3? Thinking of changing my iPhone X to it.

PS: i'll not carry the discussion about Pixel3 too much in this thread, requesting for the guys to give me some posts here for it nia :p

I have all peak design bags except for the travel bag. Overall it's all good, except from the straps and back panel. And their strap hinges will start creaking after a while

i've not used the Able Carry Xpac, but i've used the Triple Aught Design Scout in Xpac Alpine White.

The material won't yellow, nor does it get dirty easily. The ones who say "white color so easily dirty" are mostly the ones who have not used it personally before and are just repeating what other non-users say.

Yup I manage to find some spare web dominators. Sternum strap I wrap around and hook, so still ok.

I came from a iPhone x to a pixel 3. The camera is freaking awesome, so much so I feel like I don't have to bring my mirror less on my next trip. Will probably still bring it though haha

Battery life isn't as good, screen isn't as bright in max brightness, that's about it

PS: if you are about to buy the Able Carry from The Bag Creature, i'll advice for you to check their Google reviews. Apparently lots of guys got played out by The Bag Creature when they pre-order the Able Carry.

The pictures definitely gave me a better idea of the fabric. Thanks!

I've pre-ordered from them once before and encountered no issues but the google reviews are definitely worrying. Maybe I'll order direct from Able Carry instead
