Thanks for the honest review telling about bad and good things! Had to explicitly put my adblocker away and give you the ad revenue. Keep up this kind of content!
Yes, I was waiting for this one! Thank you! As much as I love my Synapse 25, I can't deny how sleek and attractive the Parker is. I'm probably in the minority here, but I really like how it looks expanded. Reminds me of a hiking pack! I love the small loops on the front too, as they seem really useful. If I was living in a city and mainly just rode a bike to work, with some occasional travel, this thing would be perfect.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I like the look as well and I was surprised how it didn’t look too big even when expanded! Definitely a tough choice between this and the synapse, I’ve been testing that out and it’s also a really cool bag!:)
I have the Clark which is the roll top version and larger capacity I got mine off of eBay brand new only thing missing was waist strap if you commute either by bus,train, bike or walk and need more room look into the Timbuktu Clark I use my bag specifically when it rains to keep my tech dry in heavy downpours while walking or waiting for bus
There is a new version of the Nomatic travel pack - in my opinion the aesthetics are much improved (the got rid of the triangles) and there are some other quite significant improvements.
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I definitely agree the new version looks much better and I’ve been wanting to try out! If I can get my hands on one to review I will try to do a video for it as well!:)
Thanks for the response! I have the original Nomatic Travel Pack, but have just picked up the Boundary Supply Errant. When I can leave the house again, I think it will be better as a daily bag than the Nomatic, but we'll see what wins out for travel. The biggest problem for the Nomatic is that the tablet sleeve is now too small for the tablet I carry, which is a frustration. The new version solves that issue though - just wish there was a trade-in programme!
U should take a look at the especial medio pack. It’s one of the most comfortable packs I have. Ebags even has a steep discount for the rally colorway.
This back is very attractive but the level of organization of the main compartiment is very poor. I have both this and Authority pack, and I think I will keep Authority and send Parker back.
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I’m glad the video was helpful and that’s a great suggestion! That bag looks very cool and I would be glad to test it out if I can get my hands on one!:)
I’m torn between this and the Patagonia Refugio 30 liter. I’m not a fan of the stiff/rigid backs. I like more of a pliable softer back. What would you recommend?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately this bag does not really stand on its own really consistently and I agree it’s a feature that is pretty too ugh to find in many bags these days. The bags that stand up best on their own are the Aer day pack and tech pack 2 due to their rigidity. The black ember citadel also did a pretty good job of standing on its own. There are other bags that aren’t as rigid that can stand on their own but that gets pretty dependent on the bag being packed out a certain way so it’s not quite as reliable as the bags I mentioned. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
Thank you for watching and good question! I am in the process of reviewing the day pack 2 and if I manage to get a tech pack 2 in the future I will definitely try to review that as well!:)
Thank you for watching and good /tough question! Haha even though I really like the prvke and I think it may be slightly more comfortable, if I wasn’t carrying camera gear I’d probably lean a little more towards this one as I prefer the zippered opening and expansion a bit more on this one. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bags!:)

Thank you for watching and I’m glad to hear the Clark has been working well for you, definitely another solid option!:)

Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! That one looks pretty great as well I’ll have to see if I can check it out in the future! :)

Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bag! Although I like both bags I prefer the authority pack as well!
Great vid! Thank you!

Thank you for watching!I would say this has a stiffer back than the Refugio
Hey does this backpack stand up on its own? That’s one of my biggest thing I’m looking for! Tough to find one

Traveling Salseros thanks!!
I think the Parker commuter bag is kinda of too ridged.
Aer Tech pack 2 review coming ?
Thank you for watching and good question! I am in the process of reviewing the day pack 2 and if I manage to get a tech pack 2 in the future I will definitely try to review that as well!:)
This or the prvke 21 (without camera cube) if you had to pick one?
Thank you for watching and good /tough question! Haha even though I really like the prvke and I think it may be slightly more comfortable, if I wasn’t carrying camera gear I’d probably lean a little more towards this one as I prefer the zippered opening and expansion a bit more on this one.
