Hey John, I’ve had good luck attaching tripods using just the compression straps. Kick one of the legs out, strap down against the center and other two legs, and then fold back down the last leg. Might not work for your particular tripod or bag but might be worth a shot on the non-water bottle pocket side.
100% an awesome bag for sure. I initially got the SEG45, but that was just a floppy mess, and seemed to really just be meant to be used as a duffle first and foremost. This is completely night and day difference, and it’s great new beefy harness addresses the biggest shortcoming of the previous generation SEG30 and the current SEG45. Awesome review as always, but this one perfectly summarized how I feel about it, too.
Yeah this is all overwhelming for sure. This one has a very different philosophy because of the segments so it really depends on how you pack. Sometimes I like to see everything in one place so the GR2 is better for that. The SEG bags keep everything tidy but it’s all hidden away
@@JBOutside1 :( hoping to hear you say they were the same. Thanks for the answer. I finally feel them loosening up a bit. Should’ve gotten a heritage now I won’t be able to exchange for one.
Your intro is so cool that I actually look forward to it whenever I start your video :D Keep it going, you're becoming one of my top bag reviewers, good stuff.
Love this bag. The compression straps are genius and the padded back & shoulder straps make carrying super comfortable. I only wish it held a few more liters as it's a tad too small. And I wish that the seg45 was more like it!
Thanks for your work, it's always thorough, objective, informative, and very well-presented. What jacket are you wearing in the outdoor segment of this video? It looks like the Flint and Tinder waxed canvas jacket, which is a great choice. Thanks again, great work.
@@JBOutside1 You're welcome. Yeah, it is an amazing jacket. I have one in forest green, but I think yours looks even better, so I'll have to get one in that color. Thanks again for your excellent reviews. Cheers!
I really like your lighting. Super random I know, everything else is amazing too but the lighting makes me feel happy :) I got this bag and I really like it!
How's the bag doing these days? Never had a Matador backpack but I've had some of their toiletry accessories and I'm not the most impressed by their durability (had some leak after a year of use).
I can see that. Total transparency: I reviewed this but haven’t taken it out yet (constantly testing something 😎) so I can’t speak to the durability on this one.
Hi! As a previous owner of the original SEG lineup, this is a welcome upgrade. Do you happen to know the internal dimensions of the bucket part? Thank you!
Great review. First time i have seen your channel and am glad i stopped by. I have this bag ordered and on its way. Your review helped me solidify my decision.
I feel like Matador has kind of missed the mark on some of the sizing of their bags. To me, if you have a bag this size it can make a good personal item, but if you're not using packing cubes then you can't really use the bag as a day bag very easily, because you have to remove all of your stuff one by one. So I think this would have been great to see and a 35 or 40 l, which is too big for a day bag anyways. I realize that they have bigger versions of this but they're not as robust. Hopefully they come out with a bigger version of this, and a smaller version of globe rider.
