Thanks for checking out my video...It's a great bag for sure...the materials for the exterior of this bag are by far my favorite of all the bags I have used and owned! Have an amazing trip to Japan and enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video! That's a nice find indeed. Love good deals on used bags...they typically have so much more use still left in them!
@@JonCross Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. Yes indeed on the pouch…since I created this video I have been way too obsessed with the Evergoods CAP line…I have 3 Cap 0.5’s, a Cap 1 and Cap 2. I am currently using the 2L and 0.5L but haven’t found a good use for the 1L just yet.
So I am hoping to publish my review this weekend...it's definitely on the edge for my liking as an edc...almost a bit too big for what I like. It's a big 26L in my opinion...I do like it for travel and use everyday once I'm at a location, however with my typical everyday gear my CHZ26 feels smaller on my back and easier to handle and maneuver around with.
Thanks for watching…for just an overnight trip I would use the CHZ26… I like the overall bag better, but for anything beyond one overnight, so a two or three day trip, the Bellroy packs, much better, and has more capacity
Thanks for stopping by and watching. The 26 doesn't look or feel much bigger and carries a good amount more than my 22. The other unfair advantage in my experience is this 26 is newer and I like the material so much better than the old material. The one extra organizing pocket really made a big difference for me too. I don't think I would try and travel with the 22 but overnights with this 26 was great!
@@friedrice3978 Definitely the 26...the 22 felt a bit too small and the 26 really still to this day feels like the best bag size for me and I can still carry what I need to travel in it. I am about to post a video on the new CTB26...that's a great option as well however it does feel a bit bigger on my back then the CHZ26
Great review. I ordered one for an upcoming trip to Japan. Can't wait to get it.

Think you may need a small pouch for all that stuff in the qap

@@Bowmanthebagguy same have a couple eg pouches also found some garage built gear ones for retail in a Facebook group.
Hey man love the review! Do you find the 26L too large for EDC?

Great video, I have to ask - do you like this bag or your bellroy transit 28L more for short trips?

How was this compared to your experience with the CHZ22?

Hello. May I know how tall are you? I'm 5'6 and curious to know if it might be too big for me.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. I'm 5'9...hope that helps! It's a great bag!
@@Bowmanthebagguy Do you prefer the 26 or the 22 as a onebag travel/edc?
