i like black amber too because of the anti theft pocket and many pockets inside the bagpack. what do you guys think of black ember?

 

[Dreaming]

actually are you in a rush? if not, you can be like me, just wait for BS to clear up their backlogs and give some time for them settle down, i believe their QC issues will be rectified in future runs of their bags....

lol hard to find one that wont hurt shoulder and back when the bp is heavy

That's why got things like waist belt, thick padding, thick backfoam, internal metal frames etc for better weight distribution when the load goes up.
And these things are removable.

In the past, such features are mainly found on heavy duty Hiking/mountaineering backpacks such as Deuter, eagle creek and Northface but nowadays modern EDC backpack also allow users to attach such accessories

Too bad our SAF backpack don't have such things when it goes up to 20/30Kg

Still cannot imagine how the heck my body was able to do it

s19 better if you're strictly using for edc

Thanks. I'll take note of it. I'm considering to get a used one instead.

 

[maxyorkie]

Well it depends on the items you carry for EDC

For minimalist EDC. Synapse 17 and fitpack2 are great choice

But if you are those who brings a zillion EDC things, then a 25L or 30L backpack would be better for you

Ok got it. Thanks.

 

[maxyorkie]

No problem, if you're interested, you can find me and try it on.

Appreciate your kind gesture.

A good padded waist belt on a well sized bag is fantastic for getting weight off your shoulders. Also good for stability if running or cycling.

Probably not required for EDC unless carrying several bricks.

may i ask:

1) how is the bag with that load?
2) is it comfortable carrying it for long hours?
3) how's the back ventilation? (then again, Europe should be cooler than SG la hor??)
4) does the lack of full clampshell affect your convenience in taking things out?

thanks !!!!

No la just for EDC, I don't one bag travel

Bag is heavy, but a lot more comfy for long hours

Ventilation is excellent

Clamshell lack of it is slightly troublesome, but then again opening clamshell while one the go is no ideal also

I generally agree with ^

Back panel is soft ribs covered with mesh. Bit softer than Errant. Nice.

Shoulder straps are good and soft. Could maybe be 1cm wider? Waist belt is a nightmare to stow and get out if you are heavily loading the bag.

Lack of clamshell is better for EDC. Top loading and slight taper mean that it’s never going to be as practical as a max carry on specialist bag like the Peak Travel, but it looks awesome!
