Triple Aught Design’s Destination : Dune (Part 2)
…d and shove my gear-filled SealLine Blocker Dry Sacks into my Triple Aught Design Axiom X25 Pack (currently the first and only one “out in the wild”, as they were released the day we left on the trip). I also do some test fitting with Triple Aught Design’s new [REDACTED] and it holds [REDACTED] extremely well. I’ll definitely be picking one, two, or all three of [REDACTED] for myself.

ORBITGear R103 Review
…r, it becomes necessary to add some padded camera cubes like this one from Peak Design. (I wish ORBITGear would consider building a camera-dedicated backpack, maybe evolving from this model.) The external organization is limited to the front pocket, which is useful to store your wallet and small items, the hidden back pocket to store other valuables and keys, side pockets where it’s possible to fit a Nalgene bottle or a small umbrella (or even a t…
Aer Travel Pack 3 Review
…ed. Generally speaking, 35L packs can be a bit tight (for me) but my go-to Peak Design packing cubes fit easily in the main cavity while still leaving me full access to the rear laptop compartment and the front tech panel for things like my laptop, chargers, a plethora of cables and perhaps a book or two. I do have to comment on the zippers once again though as there is an issue related to access due to them. The front and main compartment zipper…

…ransit Packing Cube 8L in Hot Orange. For a few years, I’ve been using two Peak Design Small Packing Cubes; side-by-side they fit into a 20L pack, leaving a little bit of space for a camera and tech pouch. They work well, but I’d still like a little bit more space for a hoodie or jacket so the new Transit Packing Cubes seemed to be the logical next step. The clamshell design of the cube allows for a greater degree of organization while also helpin…
