You failed to mention the quality of the zippers
Are the Quasar's daisy chains load-bearing, or just there to hold the bungees?
The daisy chains on the Osprey Quasar backpack are primarily designed for attaching lightweight items and securing the bungee cord. They really aren't intended to be load-bearing in the sense of carrying heavy weight since the daisy chains are only held together by some stitching. Hope this helps!
This is the only Quasar 26 review on here! Thank you
do not buy timbuk2 bags . Read reviews on trust pilots before purchasing . Save you money
A very useful comparison, thank you for the video.
This is a really great explanation video. I work at North Face and I've had customers asking me about our products, especially the backpacks. Watching this video gave me a TON of information that I can use on the floor. Thank you very much!
Wow! Thrilled that you found the video helpful, that's so great to hear!
I was really hoping they would make the Lite a no brainer for me since some things about the Pro are a bit overkill. A couple of design choices perplex me a bit though and have me looking at other bags as I'm still not sure the Pro is exactly what I'm looking for. 1) Okay, they removed the admin panel. I can live with that, but if removing that, why make that front side access pocket so much smaller than what is on the Pro? If they are going to remove the admin panel in the Lite, they should have at least kept that same large access/capacity panel on the front instead of shrinking it. To me, this is a bizarre choice and one that ended up being more of a big deal to me than I would have thought. 2) Why not just have thin sperator pocket for a tablet or a second device in the laptop compartment? I think I can live with this not being there, but it really would have been nice to have just a little more going on there to make multi device travel just a bit easier. Doesn't have to be to the level of the Pro, but a little something! With that being said, I still may end up getting the Lite as there is a lot I like about it, but was not the no brainer I was hoping it would be to have me pull the purchase trigger on release day.
It looks like Tortuga tried to make the Lite as light weight as possible and sacrificed organization in the process. Agreed, that a larger front compartment, or even an extra pocket, would have made the Lite perfect.
Apakah borealis cocok dengan laptop 17” (30x40cm)?
Thanks for the overview.
hi, I'm planning on buying the borealis, and I'm 5'1 would you think it will look too big on me?
Hi! The women's Borealis will fit you just fine. Just make sure to snug up the shoulder straps so that the backpack lies higher up on your back, this allows the lumbar support on the back panel to hit where it's supposed to. If you're looking for a smaller bag in the same style, you might want to check out the women's 22L Jester. It has a shorter length, which might be perfect for you!
When placing the backpack on a table or any surface, it often tips over and falls to the ground due to the unevenly designed bottom. It is not recommended to buy.
does the day owl pro have a false bottom?
It has a thick strip of foam at the bottom of the laptop compartment instead. There has never been a problem with the laptop hitting the ground since the foam piece absorbs most of the shock.
@@Backpackies thank you!!
What pens are those?
Everyman Grafton Pen
Get the recon and add bungees yourself
„overwhelm you with to many pockets“ 😂😂😂 I can’t imagine that this is a thing. Every bag has to few pockets. I never thought to myself: „oh this backpack has to many pockets“
You'd be surprised! Some people can't stand it haha
3rd bag name?
i have able carry daily, i think the new zipper is smart choice, the old coated zipper will be eroded over time
This thing could survive World War One and 2
Incredibly helpful review, thank you!
💘 promo sm
😱
does a 16 inch MacBook Pro fits on both backpacks or only the not mini one (without case/ with case)? another question: I'm around 1m72, will the big backpack look really big on me and make me look short? (and what would be the recommended height for it) and which backpack is the most comfortable? thank you!
A 16 inch Macbook Pro will fit the Mini but it's a really tight fit to the point where we wouldn't recommend it. The model in the video is only slightly shorter than you at 170cm so that should help decide on the size.
1:02 Thanks for keeping it realistic. Other reviews are like, "Here you've got a pouch for your O-light knife torch and ballistic bugout box" when half my bag is chargers and gaff tape.
Great video but how did you get this backpack shipped to the US?
It looks like Cabin Max website suspended shipping to the US! That's unfortunate. However, they do sell their bags on Amazon so you can always check there.
Wow that is my EXACT Owala I’m trying to find a bag for!! Color and everything!! Amazing lol thanks!
Perfect! So glad you found the video helpful
They do not have a sternum strap. And that is directly a no-go for me, unfortunately!
A 26 liter backpacks are enough for 5 books and 9 notes. Since a common student always uses and brings them.
yes I was going to sat, very comprehensive comparison (now I wish I had seen it prior to purchasing the 25 liters lol). thank you for this info in any case.
Love the design of the Pro but i'm worried about the shoulder straps on the Pro are too solid and it will cut into my neck. Do you feel uncomfy with it? p/s: should i choose the 5.0 for comfy
The Hustle 5.0 is the better choice if you're after shoulder strap comfort-the squishy straps will contour to the shape of your shoulders, unlike the straps on the Pro that just sit on top because they are so stiff. The straps on the Pro aren't super uncomfortable but you can tell the Pro was designed for people with broader shoulders and not a universal fit. When worn back to back, the 5.0 feels like pillows in comparison. Hope this helps!
Concise yet excellent review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Is this backpack, along with a 21" carry-on suitcase, enough for a two to three-week trip during the autumn season in a foreign country? Thanks.
That's so hard to answer because everyone packs differently! The average carry-on suitcase is around 40-42L and this bag gives you an additional 40L - 80L total sounds like enough room!
@@Backpackies Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm now convinced that it's a practical and effective solution. Your review was a great help. ☺️
30L is a pretty good size but i feel you kinda always need that little extra space, like 35-40L.. also could north face please reduce the size of their logo :d.. it just stands a bit too much for my liking and makes me feel like a walking billboard
I more curious about the packing cubes 😊
They are Amazon Basics! You might still be able to find them on Amazon.
Is this bag waterproof or weatherproof?
Water resistant/weatheproof not waterproof
Wtf why tf your bag is to expensive like freaking 209usd in rupees its 16000 I can buy that but in emi can you give that daily use backpack for free😅
This is the bag all I need for an outstation work . Great design with good price !!
good review, thanks a lot!
just got mine, the mesh on mine is a lot larger to the sides, it has less fabric after the mesh..
What color is 13” in this video?
The 13" color is Graphite (031)
Is the 25L unisex? They used to make a women’s black hole that is 23L for the older model, but doesn’t seem like there’s a women’s fit for the newer version.
Yes, both backpacks are technically unisex. They unfortunately stopped offering a women's specific fit version of the Black Hole.
So which bag is bigger the men borealis or women’s borealis bag (space wise)
Mens
The men's is slightly larger
Jester is what you need for a day or two day trip.. Be it a city trip or two days in the hills.. It costed me 150 AUD...at the north face store and they threw a camelbak bottle for free..
Very detailed information on both. I was looking at both and after several years ended up buying the hustle 5.0 before watching this video. I have absolutely NO regrets on the 5.0. The shoe compartment sold me.
The shoe compartment on the 5.0 is such an underrated feature. Glad to hear this video helped!
thank you for your time and posting. The noise factor is a no-go for me. Thanks. :)
Glad the review helped! This backpack is full of small details that can be hit or miss
In short: Recon for City-trips and school. And the Borealis for Adventure and Hiking.
I almost like this bag but it's like there's too many options and too many parts to lose track of.
Unfortunately they no longer sell it. But it was an interesting design!
I like that Sherpani. I've not heard of that brand before, except for another video you did on the Soleil. What they like quality and material wise? Also.. why isn't the model allowed to look at camera? Has she no face? 🤪🤣
Hey! Sherpani backpacks are solid - they might not be made from top-tier luxury materials, but they hold up well. They don't feel cheap, zippers are reliable, and the shoulder straps are always comfortable. As for the model, it's all about keeping it enigmatic - adds a dash of mystery to the mix 🕵️♀️ 🤣
@@Backpackies thanks for the reply. I've been checking them out since asking. The Logan looks very cute. They do some amazing colours. 🤩
Any recommended personal item back packs with wheels??
These are great looking bags. I actually have an Aer, which I got as a hybrid bag for travel, but it has many similar and convenient features to these two. Just to note, when you’re traveling, you want your home keys secured and buried deep. So I love the key loop being inside, and inside a zippered pocket. That’s a deal breaker for me, so 👍. Additionally, the flat side pocket is really good for secure passport and travel wallet storage. Moving forward, any bag approaching 20 litres, should have at least this, or more preferably, a hidden zippered pocket on the back, so that it’s completely inaccessible when you’re in a high crime area, which internationally, is many places. From Mexico City to Barcelona, to asleep on a rural bus surrounded by strangers, you want that secret pocket to be completely inaccessible. Additionally, a hybrid size backpack should have lockable zippers that will accommodate an external cable lock. All of the external zippers, preferably. While we’re on the topic of zippered pockets, they are essential for travel. The top pocket is great, but the internal mesh pockets are key. When you’re moving fast and getting jostled around, you want to know that your little things and papers, maybe your wallet, aren’t slipping out of a sleeved pocket. So another 👍. Moving forward also, bag makers may want to add a d ring clip or 2, preferably inside the zippered pocket. Many travelers are sewing these d-rings inside their backpacks, and attaching a clip to their wallets, so that it can be extra secure. Hybrid backpacks with these kind of features, may have a leg up in the market. Thanks for your very clear and helpful review!
awesome video!! love it
