<h1 id="backpacks">2020-06-23-182943_Backpacks</h1>
<h2 id="backpack-reviews">Backpack reviews</h2>
<p>Focus: + Durability/longevity + small one for caving / everyday + ~ 40 l medium one, also airplane carry on + ~ 75 l big one, groceries / trekking tours + I EDC depending on mood, but even 75 l, have to walk 10 mins to the car, and got used to it</p>
<h3 id="osprey-farpoint-40-l">Osprey Farpoint 40 l</h3>
<p>My first &quot;good one&quot;, lasted almost 5 years (daily use), back straps broke on an Italy-motorcycle-tour when i probably packed too many beer cans into it. Laptop compartment isn't really protecting... never really used it.</p>
<h3 id="tatonka-laptop-backpack">Tatonka Laptop Backpack</h3>
<p>Lasted some years, great protection for 15 &quot; laptop. A bit small when trying to fit something else in there when laptop present.</p>
<h3 id="kelty-redwing-44-l-black">Kelty Redwing 44 l (black)</h3>
<p>Actual medium backpack (2019+), lot of space, had to bend the aluminium backbone a bit to match my backbone, but then it was great comfort.</p>
<p>Never used the girdle (closed the clips bending around the backpack instead of my hip) as it's never that heavily loaded.</p>
<p>You need to think a bit of where to put stuff to keep an aesthetic form though. Somehow when wearing it it looks like an Eastpak school backpack.</p>
<h3 id="gregory-baltoro-75-l-blue">Gregory Baltoro 75 l (blue)</h3>
<p>Current (2020) big daily / trekking backpack.</p>
<p>Awesome fit (for me).</p>
<p>Looks awesome, but you'll get looks from people when using it in the city / as a daily. That's why i also wear a $IndianaJones hat to kill last doubt in people on what to think of me :)</p>
<p>Never tried a laptop in it.</p>
<p>After ~7 months of daily use the material on the two main shoulder belts is a bit worn, but i often didn't use the tensioner that goes in front of my breast, so there was a lot of rubbing against my clothes. Anyway, this seems to get worse...</p>
<h2 id="todo-wishlist">TODO / Wishlist</h2>
<h3 id="small-caving-backpack">Small / caving backpack</h3>
<ul>
<li>ideally something that holds a water-tight canister and can be dragged without getting stuck easily.</li>
<li>maybe EDC-able without looking like a barrel...</li>
