Now the 21 litre Minaal Daily 3.0 For those of us who are really into one bag carry on minimalism. I did four months in the Chiang Mai region of northern Thailand. And two months in Cambodia…followed by a final four days in Bangkok, before flying to Manila and then back to Canada. My Minaal 2.0 did excellent work…but now I’ve gone smaller to the 21 litre Minaal Daily …with small Osprey cross body sling bag. I’m an old backpacker …..70 now. So carrying lighter. Thanks for the videos.
Hi. I just wanted to say I started a YT channel recently too (mainly EDC review) so I know what's involved and I think your reviews are excellent. Keep doing it and if my experience is anything to go by you should see some great growth with this quality. All the best Jon Gadget (in the UK).
Damn Jon thank you so much! We’ve seen some great growth since we’ve launched and are hoping to see more in 2022. Your channel is awesome btw - subbed!
The controversial blow test. Good for two things, finding that special someone and scientifically testing bag materials. Waist belt needs to be included. As you mentioned, the price point is up there with the big boys, got to keep up.
Really strugglign to decide between this and the aer travel pack T_T amazing to hear that this of all trips was the best experience of your life. Can't wait to go to vietnam
One problem this bag probably solves for me is keeping the back clean when stowing it under the seat in a flight or anywhere else for that matter. That zippered back cover is a cool feature
No way Aaron! I also went on a 3 week motorbike trip to Vietnam - in the start of March 2020! Let's just say something happened some 10 days in the trip that cut it off early just as my friend and I were getting stared. I hope to finish it some day. Amazing country, friendly people, awesome nature! Much love for Vietnam. Maybe finish it with the Fyro T22 and make special memories ;) Question: I'm more or less deciding to buy an Aer Travel Pack 3 Ultra - should I buy a rain fly for it? Do you always travel with rain flys? I love it being included and integrated here. Thinking of just buying the rain fly that Aer sells and bring it on all travels, just in case.
sorry to hear about your motorbiking trip getting cut early! I've only ever used a rainfly on that Vietnam trip. I have had one in my EDC bag for a year now but have never needed it lol, just bought a cheap $10 one off Amazon. If you think rain-resistance is important to you then I guess no harm in picking one up
@@Nomads.Nation (It was COVID 😅bad timing!) Ok same experience with me. I picked up a rain fly from Peak Design both when I bought their Everyday pack and then Travel pack, but I've never used it once. I think I won't make it part of my default packing list unless I'm expecting to be outside for a prolonged period of time where they might not be rain cover if it starts raining. But in practice, under most circumstances, you can find cover.
Just found your channel and loving it. I’m kind of between the Minaal Carry 3.0 and the Peak Design 45L. If money isn’t an issue, which bag/ecosystem would you suggest for week long to 10 day long trips abroad?
Welcome, and thanks so much! I assume by Monaco you meant 'Minaal' - and if that's the case then yikes, tough question lol. I think I would lean slightly towards Minaal because I like the look and feel of their gear, but Peak Design products probably give you a little more bang for your buck. Ultimately you cannot go wrong with either though :)
What color bag in the video black or dark gray or light gray? Hard to tell. Do you think light Minaal 3.0 is still relevant VS AER travel 3 heavier or really heavy GR2 34L 1000D? GR2 looks big Even one empty + NO Load lifter + No Stirring up strap, back ventilation non… AER travel 3 can be compressed + have Load lifter + Stirring up strap + good back ventilation.
Got it. Thanks! Came across Gray Minaal Carryon 3.0 for a good price. Now debating on should I get gray or get black, since smaller Minaal 3.0 Daily is coming in in black…
Oh dude those are completely different bags with very different use cases. The Minaal is 35 liters - great for one bag travel, digital nomad travel, urban travel, and a bit of adventure. The Ferweh is a monster, I think 55 liters? And it's much more of a hiking/trekking pack. Hope that helps!
I would say they are pretty even in terms of quality - minaal might be sligghhhtly better. But they are also two different sizes, able carry is 5 litres smaller which is a lot

Thanks for the comment Robert, and love that you are still trekking the world on a 21 liter backpack - ur a badass!
3 weeks motorbiking through Vietnam?!! It's now on my bucket list 🙂
Hands down greatest experience of my life

The good ole’ blow test always comes in handy 😂
Awesome review. Watched this video and did a bunch of research and ended with a Pakt travel backpack. Thanks for the detailed review.
So glad we could help dude! Let us know what you think about the Pakt travel backpack once you get it
Really strugglign to decide between this and the aer travel pack T_T amazing to hear that this of all trips was the best experience of your life. Can't wait to go to vietnam
You can’t go wrong with either! Personally I’d give a slight edge to Minaal tho. Enjoy Vietnam!!
@@davidjoseph4459 nice!!
The tablet compartment fits a 13” tablet - they updated the specs on their website..
Thanks for that Nick!
That was a solid review!
You’re a solid review 😉

100% agreed!

Miami Heat and bag lover. Let’s Go Heat…and bags!
Miami heat and backpacks - my two favorite things!!! 🔥🎒
Noway is it worth it and especially without the shoulder strap. Waist strap they can keep.
Can’t argue with that! But I will say, it’s a hell of a bag
Man it's almost a win, but the dangly straps, the price, the meh bottle holder really pull it back.
I know it’s like they were so close but just missed a few things that would be a no brainer at this price point

Black. I’d take the Minaal over the Aer. Haven’t tested GoRuck yet
Got it. Thanks!

How does something like the able carry max stack up to a back pack like this??
I would say they are pretty even in terms of quality - minaal might be sligghhhtly better. But they are also two different sizes, able carry is 5 litres smaller which is a lot
Where is the luggage pass through
None on this one unfortunately
first
❤️
Too expensive for no waterproof zippers
it is a very pricey bag
it looks so un-premium in comparison to the Peak Design
hmmm, I disagree... slightly.... but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
