Great review. I thought I wanted x-pac material but all of these reviews confirm how loud these bags are when using and opening. Is this a good observation or is it amplified being in close proximity to the microphone? Is it a real concern?? I think I want the older material that is more pliable.

I personally don't find them that much louder than other materials. During our uses, it doesn't ever get loud enough to interfere with our daily use. The loudest component on the bag is really the zipper and that depends on how hard you pull open and close. But again it might be the mic that amplifies it. I hope that helps!

Love the review!

Wow, thanks a ton for the love! 🙌 Really glad you dug the review! Means a lot. Would love to get you on a podcast interview sometime!

Wish they made this exact design in a slightly larger bag to fit a larger laptop. TFS.

You could always try the Daily or Daily Plus for a slightly larger bag. Daily: urbancred.com/products/daily-backpack Daily Plus: urbancred.com/products/daily-plus-backpack Let me know if you have other questions!

I have the old version, and it goes in my daily rotation from time to time. Frankly, I can't imagine even more padding on the straps, as they already feel like overkill on a bag this size. The upgraded liner and sternum strap would be nice, but not enough for me to want to repurchase the new version. As for color, one thing to note is that the green is actually a different material from the other 2- VX42 as opposed to VX21. This makes the bag slightly heavier and stiffer feeling, but also significantly more abrasion resistant.

I agree, it's similar to a new car! Nice new features but not enough to warrant buying a new replacement. Thanks for your thoughts!

The shoulder pad is very hard for me. It hurts.

The V2 should be an improvement over the V1. The straps themselves are much more cushioned compared to the first version.

Relatable back problems 😂

The back panel sucks. Your back will sweat even in moderate temps. Other than that, it is a great bag.

Is your comment about the back panel based on lived experience with the bag or just an observation of what you think will happen? I’ve seen this comment a few times but no reviewer has expressed a big issue with it. Thanks.
