BEST OF DEMO FOR REAL HUMANS,NO UNNECASSARY BLAH BLAHING ABOUT ENDLESS NITPICKS..THANK YOU !
Woot, thanks!
Thanks for the great comparison video!
Awesome, thank you! Glad you found it helpful =)
This was awesome!!! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you liked it😃
Really helpful, thank you! 🎒
You're welcome! 👍
All we needed o know, thx!
👍
Great video! I will be so happy if you decided to do a video like this comparing the Global Companion 40l and the Osprey Farpoint 40l and another similiar model.
That would be a great comparison =)
Nice review！I like the way you compare bags by packing them up with the same items. It would be good if you could compare the comfort level of them for long-term carrying. This is one of the most important information for backpackers.
Good point, I should have compared the carry comfort with this setup. I do have an individual review of each bag where I go into more detail, but not with this exact gear list.
Great comparison! I wish you showed what the Allpa looked like fully packed like you did with the other two by standing it up and turning it.
Thanks Nomap! Yeah I wish I did too, not sure how I forgot to do that for the Allpa
Love the packing comparison vids. It's so helpful to see what these things actually hold relative to the others. I am really torn between the Tortuga Setout 35, Setout 45 and the Osprey Farpoint. I don't like how big the 45 is, but I like the idea of having extra room to bring back some souvenirs. I felt like the 35 might be too small, so was leaning towards the Farpoint as a nice middle ground (I just really hate the laptop placement in that bag), but now I see that it looks like the 35 might even fare better on the space side.
As helpful as this was (and your other videos), I'm just to indecisive, so I'm sure I'll waffle back and forth a few more times before I pull the trigger on one of those three.
Thanks J-rod! The Setout holds a lot for a 35L bag because of the open interior design. They're both great bags, but I really think the Setout does a better job with some features, like small item organization, laptop sleeve, and water bottle pocket. You can always buy both, test then out, and return the one you don't like. Both companies have great return policies as long as the bag is still new.
Wow...
This is a fantastic video...
You do a great job in just showing all the things that I was kinda thinking about with these 3 bags..
I got my eye on 2 out of 3 bags..
I'm not a fan of the Fairport..
I have the Osprey Porter which is a unbelievable great bag...
I love all the comparison reviews.....
Your my Hero.......
Thanks Greg! Glad you found it helpful 👍😀
I already own the Osprey Porter 46 but I'm considering downsizing to the Patagonia Black Hole MLC 26 for shorter trips.
But the Porter is the "bring it all" bag. Anything can fit in there.
Nice content, thanks for putting this together. Would have been nice if you put each one on to see how they fit packed out, comment on how each felt loaded with the same items. There's always next time, good stuff. Cheers!
That's a great suggestion, will definitely do that on my next comparison video. Thanks for watching!
Do you think you could have put much more in the alpa? Perhaps a pair of shoes?
Never cared for the dead space at the bottom of the Farpoint until I started to put my smaller packing cube w/ socks and underwear down there. That looks very stuffed and you don't even have a spare pair of shoes in there :)
Yeah, I packed them pretty full. I was trying to demonstrate how much you could fit in these bags. Good idea with the small cube, that's a perfect place for socks and underwear.
Thank you for the video!
Could you please tell me what packing cubes you used (the two largest at the bottom)?
Those are the old style of Eagle Creek packing cubes, both Medium size. The black is regular and red is compression cube. The new styles (Isolate and Reveal) have similar sizes ~14"x10"x3" but a different look.
Hi, thank you for the great video, May I know what's the weight after putting in all the stuffs?
I forgot to weight it but a similar setup without the laptop weighs about 17-18 lbs, so probably around 23 Ibs (10.4 kg) I would guess.
Thank you! I've been torn between Farpoint 40, Setout 35 and Setout Divide. This helped me narrow it down to the Tortuga options, as the Farpoint 40 doesn't seem to actually hold more. Well technically it does, but if it's just cramming something in that you can't access without completely unpacking how useful is it really?
Have you tried the Setout Divide? when expanded it's 34L, and I'm wondering how much difference that 1 litre really makes. I think that it's versatility would allow me to use it on short work trips (3-4 days) and longer vacation travel (week abroad), but worry that it'll actually under-perform in both settings instead of working well enough in both.
I haven't tried the Setout Divide. The 1L is probably not noticable, but those packs will sit on your back different because the base dimensions are different. The Setout will have a larger footprint on your back, while the Divide will be smaller, with the extra volume coming from the expansion. So it will sit smaller on your back, but stick out more behind you.
I think smaller expandable backpacks are a great option. I also have the older Tortuga Air pack, which is very similar to the current Setout Divide. It's 27L expandable to 35L. It's great for short trips in the smaller mode, but I can expand it for longer trips.
I do think that you should pick the bag size that you will be using most often though. If you take mostly short trips, with an occasional long trip, the Divide will probably work. However if you are using the Divide in fully expanded mode for most of your trips, then it won't be as comfortable and you should just go with the regular Setout.
Great comparison! Can you rank them based on comfort? I own the Farpoint 40l but hate the laptop placement and how difficult it can be to pack like you showed in the video but the comfort is excellent. Are the Allpa and Setout comparable in comfort fully packed?
Setout > Osprey > Cotopaxi
Farpoint is comfortable, but laptop compartment is in a weird location and packing is awkward. Cotopaxi has great interior organization, but it's heavy and the fit isn't as adjustable as the others. Setout has good organization and the most comfortable carry, but it's a little heavier than the Farpoint.
@@OneBagTravels Thank you! Do you have any experience with the Aer Travel Pack 2 or Minaal Carry-on 2.0/3.0 compared to the Setout? (Comfort and function)
I think I've narrowed it down to the Setout or one of those two bags
@@bladerealm124 I've also tested the Aer Travel Pack 2 and Minaal 2.0. I like all 3 of these packs, you can't go wrong with any of them. My thoughts:
Aer is classic, solid, minimalist, travel pack with great construction and hardware. But it's heavy, water bottle pocket is small, and no water resistant coating.
Minaal is also great, comes with a rain cover, I love the sleek look, but the packing style can be awkward. I haven't tested the 3.0 but changes appear to be minor. This is the best looking pack IMO, but the price is kind of high, $349?!
Setout has the best backpack straps. Interior is large and easy to pack. Material is thinner than Aer and can look saggy if not fully packed, front pocket zipper is small and harder to see small items. Great price for the quality.
@@OneBagTravels Thanks for the info. The price is crazy on the Minaal 2.0/3.0 but I love the look and weight compared to other similar bags. I just saw your Minaal 2.0 video and Setout video. The Minaal does look harder to pack out but I think it's worth it for the slimmer profile.
Do you have any experience with the Minaal Daily 2.0/3.0? I saw another youtuber who uses the Daily 3.0 as his packable bag laid flag in his Minaal Carry-on 3.0 and it seemed like a great daybag albeit heavier than an ultralight true packable bag
@@bladerealm124 I haven't tried the Minaal Daily, but I think it depends on what you're using it for. If you travel with a laptop and are staying in one place for a long time (ie digital nomad), a smaller daypack that also has a good laptop compartment is a good option.
However if you're moving around a lot (trains, planes, bus) the combined weight (>5lbs) to haul both those bags around would be cumbersome.
I usually don't travel with a laptop, so I tend to take a medium sized backpack and a smaller packable daypack.
Great review...I am looking to purchase a back pack that can hold the items I need for a scuba trip. and cloths for a week..(minimum) what would you suggest. Which bag do you think would be best...I will be packing a 3 mil wet suit as well
Are we talkig regulator, mask, snorkle, fins, as well as wet suit? That's going to be difficult to fit all of that in a carry on. I've done it with just a snorkle set, but for all that scuba gear you may need to check a bag. Other than that I would say get a pack with the largest interior volume you can, like a duffel bag.
Akona makes a great backpack for specifically for scuba gear! I have taken my whole kit in their carry on backpack (though not much else fits - worked fine for a warm climate dive trip though). I will warn you it gets really heavy.
What size cubes? For the main body?
Also, the new garpoint does not have the front loading tablet pocket, so main body has more room, and laptop slides in through a side zip along the back
You don't really need packing cubes for the main body but if you did anything 12" wide or less would work.
👍
👍
How much does it weighs when you pack all this in Osprey Farpoint 40 pack?
This setup is about 18 lbs (8.2 kg) without the laptop, ~23lbs (10.4 kg) with my 15" Dell.
@@OneBagTravels Thanks for the reply 😊
these videos are handy. however shoes aren't there? do you just travel with one pair of shoes? haha
My shoes are so big! 😆 I try to travel with one pair if I can get away with it. Sometimes I take a second pair of sandals. In December I'm going skiing in Michigan, then snorkling in Hawaii in the same trip. I think I'll be forced to bring an extra pair 😣
How much did your gear weigh if you had to guess?
My laptop and charge cable alone weight about 4.5 lbs, which is why I ususally don't take them. A similar setup without the laptop weighs about 17-18 lbs, so probably around 23 Ibs (10.4 kg) I would guess, including the backpack.
That looked like almost two weeks of clothing correct?
Maybe a little under 2 weeks, I like to wash on the road
Does anyone know where i could find a lady's merino button down?
Wool& probably has the best selection of women's merino clothes. Icebreaker has some. You could try asking on reddit r/heronebag.
@@OneBagTravels Thanks a lot, I'll look into it!
Which one is your favorite?
Tortuga Setout, but they don't make it anymore
Can't believe you are making packing demo videos and don't have insulated headphone like the Bose or the Sony. You are missing out.
I know right?! The full headphones are a little bulky so Iv'e been hesitant to get a pair, I know they would be amazing on airplanes/busses etc., but then they take up a lot of room in your pack when you're not using them. I recently bought a pair of Sony wf-1000xm4, the noise canceling ear buds. The sound quality is great and I'm surprised how well the noise cancelling works. Not as good as over the ear head phones I imagine, but they still block a lot of background noise.
co toe poxy (pronunciation)
Im bad at pronounciation.
th-cam.com/video/d9ZKc3cbuIQ/w-d-xo.html
Cotopa"H"i. Not Cotopa"KS"i. Wrong pronunciation.
I'm definitely pronouncing it wrong in this video, but are you sure it's Cotopa"H"i? I know there are multiple ways to pronounce the spanish X, like in the Yucatan it's pronounced "SH" or "CH" where in mainland Mexico it's pronounced more like a "H". I've never been to Equator so I don't know what the proper way to pronounce it there is, but this video from the folks at Cotopaxi suggests it's pronounced more like a "KS". th-cam.com/video/d9ZKc3cbuIQ/w-d-xo.html
@@OneBagTravels OK. Thank You very mach. But the common rule for indians words in spanish (cotopaxi from quechua) is: `X` = `H`. Like MeHico(Mexico),TeHas(Texas) etc. I hope to check Cotopaxi myself next year after covid finish. ))
Why you have to tell brand and model about every item you touch? I tought you are comparing packing of those three bags, not making inventory about what you own.
I like to see what items other people pack, not everyone does though 😄
@@OneBagTravels Future reference just say "I have pants, shirts, socks, and underwear" and go right to packing. We watched this video to see how a bag is packed and not about what brand the clothes are.
Do you think you could have put much more in the alpa? Perhaps a pair of shoes?
Yeah I could have packed more in the Allpa, shoes would depend on what kind. I have a pair of lightweight trailrunners that I'm sure would fit, but my bigger leather walking shoes probably not.
