The Casual Bag Thread

[tomb]

Ya, I was looking at the 222, but dislike the taper design.

Narrowing down to these 4: BB conceal 26L and the Evergoods CPL24, Boundary Supply Prima, Aer duffel pack 2.

Probably gonna wait and see which I can get at the best prices. Might go second hand if I can get one in decent condition.

Using the AER duffel pack 2. Sleek with practical compartments. Comfortable when carrying heavy loads. Holds its shape when not fully packed. Capacity feels smaller than it looks. Clinking metal zipper pulls, especially the ones from the bottom shoe compartment.

Hi there, would like recommendations for backpacks for casual Friday at work. Basically to store my laptop and some other items.

CPL24 is great but attracts a ton of dust. Comfy and simple interior without any of the compartments getting in the way when reaching for stuff

Thanks for your input! How did you find the wear on the bag. Also, how's your experience with its looks in an office setting (with smart attire)? Looking at the carbon black cause the grey looks like it'll be easily stained.

Thanks friend. Practical feedback is amazing.
In your experience, how do you think the black color works for office use, with smart attire?

Even thou you might be on a budget... But never compromise on Comfort. Weight distribution is important as well

You can consider Samsonite backpack (not RED) and Timbuk2.

I used to have a Samsonite backpack which I bring for my overseas business trip.

I have a spare unused backpack at home. I don't mind letting it go at a lower price. If you wan... You can PM me

the colour is fine but the bulky look might not suit office wear. my work attire is less formal so it's ok.

Think the CPL24 might be a little bulky once its full but without full load, it looks sleek enough.

Downside is since there's no proper airflow channel built into the bag, after prolong use u're sure to have a wet back.

The black is nice but being a dust magnet, it looks less black with all the dust stuck on.

I see Boundary Supply have another Kickstarter for a travel bag.
Don’t think I’ll bite this time.

I get you. Bulkiness is my main concern about the bag. Personally loving the massive number of small, useful pockets in the bag though.

I think my search narrows down to between this bag and finding a second hand brown buffalo conceal 26L. The price of the BBC 26L brand-new is pretty insane.

I considered it, but it seems too small for my needs.
I also don't like the boxy look of the pack.

Thanks for your input! I'm not really liking how high the CPL24 must ride on my back due to the shoulder strap design. I've also heard that the CPL24 packs less than its capacity suggests, so I think I'm eliminating this from my list.

When you start venturing into quality backpacks, 300usd for one is pretty normal. Conceal 26L is pretty big. I own one and feels more like a 30L. Prefer the 19L

They have gone from bad to horrible to atrocious. They Kept "blaming" the logistics, factories etc but the fact is, they are not the only KS backpack company...

If Dayfarer, a one-man-show company, can make delivery 400+ earlier, why can't they?

If Peak Design, Kirin Design, XD Design, Wool & Oak, AER, CPL, all can delivery ontime or with slight delays... Why can't they?

I am just lucky that I got my errant backpack without much hiccups
