01/09/2023, 9:45 AM@Sebastiaan how many days worth of clothes can you get in it?
s
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 9:46 AMLoads! I've crammed in 10 days worth + laptop and liquids etc. Gets a bit tight for 10 days, but packing cubes help. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WVPNSG4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

01/09/2023, 9:47 AMYeh this one been shortlisted for new bag. Just wish it was not all black. I like a bit of colour 🙂
s
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 9:47 AMYeah mine has color, guess they don't sell those any more

Warren Buckley
01/09/2023, 9:48 AMBut to answers @loranallensmith question. I barely remember what I done last week, let alone if I can remember if I am still using something from 10 years ago :S
Warren Buckley
01/09/2023, 9:49 AMYou seriously had that bag last 10 years Seb? Mine give out after 3 or so, but I do overpack and abuse them at times.
s
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 9:50 AMI overpack and abuse it as well! Yep, it turned ten a few months ago! 😁

01/09/2023, 9:51 AMWHAT ! Thats a bag made of steel or something?!
s
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 9:51 AMI also used it to haul 12kg of grains for homebrewing on a 8km bicycle ride a few times.. really not meant for that 😂
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 9:51 AMJust well-built 😉

01/09/2023, 10:30 AMI recently broke my bag.... 🤔 @Sebastiaan think it can handle a 17" laptop site only says 16 😦
s
Sebastiaan
01/09/2023, 10:30 AMProbably not good for 17" - but I don't have one that large to try it out! 😅

Matt Wise
01/09/2023, 10:31 AMnote to self check you actually have a 17" laptop before asking 😄
w
Warren Buckley
01/09/2023, 10:34 AM17" bet that thing weighs a ton @Matt Wise
m
Matt Wise
01/09/2023, 10:35 AMYeah if it wasnt 15" 😄
Matt Wise
01/09/2023, 10:35 AMso used to having a 17" then looked at it and questioned myself so checked 😄
s
Sebastiaan

01/09/2023, 8:06 PMI had never heard of packing cubes until now, but wow, they look super handy! (and that backpack looks really nice too!) ✨

01/09/2023, 8:12 PMIncidentally, I came across an old Jansport backpack of mine from ~25 years ago while cleaning out my attic this weekend, and it was almost like new. Granted it has been retired for a while, I was still surprised to see how well it had held up after all the use it saw back in the day.

Sebastiaan
01/10/2023, 9:08 AMPacking cubes are awesome with their double zippers to compress the clothes you pack, very handy and of course also nice for easy organizing.
Ha, that's great! Maybe it's a collectors item now at ~25 years old, check what eBay says!

Matt Wise
01/10/2023, 9:09 AMSooo I might of ordered a backpack last night 😄

Sebastiaan
