Thank you, Bo! This video confirms my immediate thought when the bag came out, which is 'love it but' wish it would be more compact or at least have options to compress. This bag is awkwardly balancing in that threshold zone: the more I utilize the available space/dimensions the more the carry setup starts to lack. As you said, it's fine for short trips from car-to-lodge or gate-to-plane but that would undersell and overprize this bag. IMHO
hmm i think ur supposed to unbuckle the side buckles during access. it makes the opening much wider, like a doctor's bag, which is a main feature of the bag they advertised. the aluminium stays help it to open smoothly too
Nobody needs a side handle on a duffel bag, at least not on the TD35. That loop created by the lips being attached to the side by the clips is enough to hook your hand/palm underneath and pull it out of the overhead bin.
Great review as always. I remember your last duffel of choice being the Aer travel weekender 35L. Has the Evergoods replaced it in your heart? How would it compare against the Aer? Thanks!
That's the trakke foulden pouch in which I pack my extended EDC. You can see the video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l29KJ1HDhL0.html and find the pouch here bit.ly/3OwJreI
I really enjoyed this and have just used it on a 2 week trip - great review; definitely helped with my purchase. Love your kimono jacket, where is it from?
Almost a Tardis. If this is fully or almost fully packed out, how easy is it to access the zippered pocket inside the bag? I didn't notice you saying anything about that. If it is too annoying to get into, I don't know if I would want to use it for my passport while in the airport. Now we know why you became a RU-vidr. 🤣
If the bag is full to the brim, it is harder to get to that zippered pocket. But considering the importance of the item I side, I do feel like it is an ok downside. Thanks for watching, William 😉✌️
I actually think the styling is perfect. I could see some photographers or videographers using this for work. It would look professional in any environment, but on the street it would just look like a basic gym bag, and not attract attention.
Been enjoying your videos! I believe you have Indonesian Blood?! Indo Pride! This duffle is very similar with Black Ember Dex, should be cool if you can compare between both of them.
