The concept of having an extra area that you can fold in when you’re not using isn’t new, but I’ve never seen it like this. Obviously, they have those bags with the roll top that you can extend upward if you want to put more stuff in there, but I’ve never seen that. Has one of those on the bottom. Seems like that would be a good spot to put one of those and I can understand that it wouldn’t provide the strongest most durable situation for where you’re going to be putting your bag down most of the time but maybe there could be a stronger thousand denier flap that you can zip over it when you’re not using it and then if you wanna stuff some extra clothes or something in the bottom, a thinner material could come out and be unrolled and then you could just be a little bit more careful. Just an idea. I’ve never seen a backpack with something like that on the bottom, there’s always places to lash something else and you could just carry stuff sack, for instance, and lash it to the bottom obviously but I don’t think I’ve ever seen something with an integrated extender on the bottom
It looks really nice. The only thing I don't like is that if you expand the back, it looks like it sticks out like a shark fin. Does it sort of square out when you fill it, or does it remain 'pointy'?
No, when you've filled the front you can then strap the top and bottom down which rounds off the pointy bits. It looks like it does when it's folded over but the central part extends. Definitely not pointy 👍
I've done some soul searching over the last few years and think it all stems back from being a kid in the Moorlands. I love watches and bags. Can't get enough of them. Every weekend my mum would give me her Snoopy watch, pack some food into my Granddad's old backpack and kick me and my brother out of the house. It's either the spirit of adventure or the connection to what used to make me so happy when I was young... then growing up that extended into the tech in bags, the materials. Oh... and don't forget as men we're all a bit on the spectrum. We generally need something to fixate on. If it's not bags and watches, it's 600quid golf clubs or 250quid football boots, 600quid on a few airsoft pew pew :D
merch idea .. a T shirt with the phrase ' it's not a criticism , more an observation ' .. lol
I think you're on to something there :D
Great review, thank you!
My pleasure!

@@MoorlanderEDC Ok, thanks.
@@mitchblackmore5230 check out @jboutside. He's also made some content on this. He has an awesome channel
Also, what is it about backpacks that we're so obsessed with?? I've got so many but always trying to fine a niche use so I can buy another one 😂😂😂

@MoorlanderEDC 🤣🤣 so true! Bags and watches are my obessesions
I think it's time I blocked you. Every time you release a video, I want to buy the kit, but my back account won't let me 😂
nah for me (interresting review by the way)
