Hi all,

I'm looking for an edc sling that will have a compartment for the galaxy tab s8 plus. I see the tomtoc 7L MIGHT be able to, but it might not also. I can't find a clear answer.

Tablet Dimensions 285 x 185 x 5.7 mm (11.22 x 7.28 x 0.22 in) Weight 567 g (Wi-Fi), 572 g (5G) (1.25 lb)

Thank you

Gregory Rhune 22 Review (www.gregorypacks.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Fins to c/onebag
 
 

Hello! I have bought a Gregory Rhune 22 backpack a few weeks ago and I want to make a review to contribute to the community!

So, first off: this is some of the most thoughtful organization I have seen in a backpack. You can tell that this bag was made by people who would want to use it. It has everything you need for day-to-day organization, even down to a dedicated AirPods/earbuds pocket right on your left strap that I use every single day (so so convenient).

So pros:

  • it is a Gregory pack, so it comes with the Gregory quality and warranty support you would expect from them.

  • Made with lightweight recycled rip-stop polyester (in some places, too much so)

  • Organization is abundant. You will not run out of places to put things in this bag, and I have lost my habit of letting things fall to the bottom of the bag immediately after getting this due to its thoughtful organization.

  • Almost clamshell main compartment is great for travel, and the fact that it opens right up with no lip on top of the (wonderfully false-bottomed) laptop pocket means you will not miss a dedicated laptop compartment at all. Even if it is fully packed, you will have no troubles just getting your laptop out of the bag in a single zip.

Cons:

  • the lightweight, thin rip-stop is great for hiking bags and bags of that sort, but I feel like Gregory definitely should have added some more durable fabric or at least a protective PVC or TPU coating to the bottom of the pack, similar to how The North Face does things on their commuter bags. The single thin sheet of fabric on the bottom of the bag has no padding at all, leading to sagging if you put something even slightly heavy in the main compartment, and offers no drop protection for anything in the main compartment. Though, this can be easily fixed with just a piece of cardboard cut and put into the bottom, but that’s an extra hassle that should have been fixed in the beginning imo.

  • the entire bag is made from the same recycled plastic material, which is great for the environment, but that plastic is rough, especially on the straps and back of the pack. It sorta scratches you every time you put the pack on. This is a non-issue once you get used to it, but if you are expecting some soft material, this is not it. I also wonder how the rough material rubbing on your back all day would affect shirts with graphic designs on the back.

  • lack of a bungee system kinda sucks, as I wish I could just throw a wet jacket outside of the pack itself, but it’s not like you expected it to come with one if you looked at the listing.

  • the water bottle holder is verrrry loose for bottles less than 30oz or less than 3” in diameter. My 24oz hydroflask has slipped out multiple times while putting it down. I wish it had some securing straps over the holder like TNF borealis or recon does.

Overall, this is a great pack, but misses the mark on a few things that you would not think of when you use it, but seem like a bit of an oversight when you use it regularly and notice those things. For the price I would expect just a bit more durability on the bottom of the pack especially, but if I’m honest, I believe this will be a non-issue unless if you are very rough with your pack. Rip stop is a great material, but if there is only a single thin 300d layer, things can happen. Regardless, I love this pack, as I would not find such thoughtful organization and zipper placement in any other pack I have researched. Just a few improvements would make this the perfect go-to commuter backpack.

Hope this was insightful to anyone looking for a new bag!

I could not post a response to the travel pouches thread - post button kept spinning. So I am creating a new thread...

Here are some of the pouches that I use:

Evergoods Civic Access Pouch 1L for computer cords, USB-c hub, charger, adapters.

Peak Designs medium packing cube for clothes (up to 2-4 days worth, minus shoes)

Gravel minimal toiletry bag for indefinite supply of toiletry items.

Maxpedition pouch I use pouch this as a dump pocket that I attach to inside of backpacks with attachment points (e.g. Molle webbing on GoRuck bags, Evergoods, etc.). I like this one because it has lots of pockets and very little structure. Can also use unattached to organize loose, small items.

In the interest of creating fresh content, here is a comparison of the CPL24 side-by-side with the Synik 22 and Synik 30 taken at the TB factory when I visited a while back.

I found the Synik straps to be more comfortable, but I don't own the syniks so it was a very quick comparison.

Here's a comparison of the CPL24 really stuffed to the brim next to a Cotapaxi Allpa 28. The CPL24 is normally thinner, but filling up the front pocket makes it balloon a bit.

Travel pouches (self.onebag)

Pouches

I've recently become very interested in organizing with pouches, and I'm interested in knowing how others organize their one bag. I'll kick this off:

Eagle Creek Pack It Reveal Clean/Dirty cube - Medium

I use this for all my clothes, including socks and underwear.


Fjallraven High coast hip pack

This is my travel EDC pouch. It has my Ricoh camera, small charger, hand sanitizer, nanobag sling, IEMs, possibly a snack, and a mini ghost whale pouch.


Tom Binh HLT2

This holds all my knick knacks that I just access when I'm in my accommodations. Spare charger cable, comb, toothbrush, USB sticks, sewing kit, etc


Tom Binh QKit

Just a small pouch to carry small non-flat items like a european power converter, sea to summit hanger, etc


The aforementioned mini ghost whale pouch

This goes with me wherever I go when travelling, and even sometimes at home. It has:

  • Ibuprofen
  • Pepto Bismol
  • Tylenol
  • ADHD medications
  • spare battery for my camera
  • listerine strips
  • tiny astronaut pen
  • a small 2ml perfume spray thingy filled with water in case my clothes start clinging too much to me in dry environments
  • Shout wipes in case I drop some food on me

I just carry 1-2 doses of the meds in this pouch, so all the ibu, pepto, tylenol, and adhd meds barely take any space.


Ziploc bag

I put my special shampoo and hand sanitizer in this one to quickly take it out when I'm in the airport

I have a ton of slings, pouches, and cubes, but this is what I've settled on for long term travel. Other pouches I have:

  • Alpaka mini elements
  • Tom Binh HLT1
  • Tom Binh Clear 3D organizer cube
  • Evergoods CAP1
  • Evergoods CAP2
  • Evergoods CAS2

But I now value weight over almost anything else, so most of these are either unnecessary, or too heavy for what they offer.

Anyone else settled on a good system for organizing their loadout?
