Attachable Hip Pads

Attachable Hip Pads 3.0

Carry On 3.0 - Intriguing designs and features. Didn’t meet the needs in the end.

I bought this bag for its size, unique features and it’s fantastic minimalist style. I was stoked when it arrived right up until comparing it with the Heimplanet 34L I had on hand. The exterior may be improved from previous versions, but it’s still a lent magnet compared to others on the market. The tech compartment’s adjustability is a neat feat. My test pack proved it will hold 2-16” devices, just not as securely as the Heimplanet. I found the tech accessory storage to also be lacking. Thr other compartment was even more revealing as the Minaal packed out a full change of clothing less. I did appreciate the theft deterrent nature of the zipper pulls, compression straps and that the the rain cover sealed it all away. However, the zippers themselves aren’t as smooth as the competition. The strap stow system is nice, but the exposed zippers in backpack mode, not so much. These are all the reasons I returned the bag and decided to stick with the Heimplanet.
