So expandy! Good for supplemental gear or a wander away from camp, probably. So many options and straps! I do groove the wing pockets. Not sure if it's for me - I might lose my stuff in all the pockets 😅 the 3 points option is really cool, too.
Exactly! I don’t think I’d ever start in the full expanded layout but great for stowing stuff you collect or want to put away along the way. And same, love the padded wing pockets. Thanks for taking a look!! 👊🏼👊🏼
Fold it up man! You wont regret it! Makes the sling sticks to the body better And fix up one side of the main strap permanently so that one side moves.i added a shoulder pad on mine
I just bought one like 2 hours ago, i got the Tropic color. I was looking for a lighter pack compared to my Maxpedition Kodiak because summer is coming soon here in Cali and i need to be able shed layer but still have a way to store them this will be my summer pack this year.
@@UncommonEDC Its bullet proof. I Esk8 right so ive had a share falls and bail outs ok and falling with the backpack on skidding on the pavements on the side with the pack scraping the ground its held up to even that all the stitching is rock solid. Its water proof to an extent where the pack could be soaked on the outside yet it drys quick i even sprayed it down with Nikwax. Organization is good and plenty. The pack is on the heavy side yes but i got used to that in about a month. Ive bought another one to replace it when i gave the one i had away to my family.
That's really cool! I like it! Great job as always sharing with us. Keep up the good work Jake!
Thanks my friend, it’s definitely a cool design and has lots of carry options. Appreciate you tuning in!! 👊🏼⚔️

Awesome video! 🙌We reviewed the X-POD last year and it's still one of our favorites!
Thank you, great to hear it’s worked out long term for you as well. Appreciate you tuning in!
Bro… once you expanded it I was like 😳. Great video and insight as always my guy 🤙🏾
Haha same! Appreciate you checking it out my friend!! 👊🏼⚔️

I’ll definitely try that out. What shoulder pad are you using for yours? Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of those windbreaker jackets that fold into themselves. Very clever storage space 👏🏽
Haha spot on, we got a similar backpack from going gear awhile back to. Thanks for tuning in! 👊🏼⚔️
I like all the compartments in this one. That's awesome.
Same, love all the organization! Thanks for taking a look!

Awesome, hope you enjoy it. How is the Kodiak? It seems like a nice in between size between this and a full size backpack.
Thanks for watching!

Could you tell me the width of the shoulder strap?
Yes, the main strap on this one is 1.5 inches wide.
I have the black one but now I realize that I like this better
Ah bummer! Thanks for checking out the video.
Very nice bag, I have been hunting for a good bag, I might have to give them a try.
Nice, thanks! I have about 5 more I’ve been testing so should have a few more sling videos coming soon. Appreciate you checking it out!! 👊🏼👊🏼
@@UncommonEDC sounds good, I look forward to seeing them.
Not sure how I feel about the outer cross straps but overall I dig it!
Yeah, I kind of like the way they look but they definitely make it look a bit busy up front. Thanks for taking a look!
interesting design
Very. Kind of busy so not going to be for everyone but I really like the look of it. Thanks for watching my friend!!
I think the original of this kind of bag that can fold on the back is from a french bag company called Cote & Ciel
Interesting, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the info!
