    @robbatussin would you mind to post some pictures of it? I already checked out that model, I think with the TS upgrade it looked quite decent! There is a picture floating around of a black one with a red zipper, is that yours?

    What made it so uncomfortable for you? And how did you use it? 

    Oh man, this was almost 10 years ago and can’t recall snapping any photos at the time. Red zipper model wasn’t mine; mine mimicked every aspect of the 7TS sans xpac and used cobra buckles instead of the plastic olive quick-release buckles. 
     

    I remember the inward curvature at the top of shoulder straps would dig into my neck. And the when the backpack was loaded, it would sort of just ‘box-out’ and no longer contour across my back, but rather just sit on my spine (it was a messenger back after all). Just didn’t work well with my frame.

    UPS duty rate guide for US folks If you find your duty charge is too high:

    They've been shipping their products internationally for how many years now? They can't assign more favorable tariff codes, or they just don't want to?

    Is the 3a-7ts even real? What’s the best place to get one and most importantly, will it come back soon? My shoulders are tired of the strictly left sided carry all the time.

    I was hoping since the release of the j87-ws for a new release. 

    Feel free to share some nice shots of your acronym bagjackbagback if you got one!

    I grew so tired of waiting for that silver foil 7TS that I eventually reached out to bagjack years ago to commission a custom 7TS-inspired Skidcat (which is the model the 7TS is built off of). Couldn't spec xpac as it's an acronym exclusive, so had to go with Cordura instead. Aside from excellent build quality, as you would expect from bagjack, the backpack itself was so incredibly uncomfortable. I think I may have only used it a handful of times until my back couldn't bare anymore.

  4. In the same camp: tall with a slim waist. Took my P10 to a skilled tailor who tightened the waist and re-did the seat. Was his first time working on acrnm pants and he made sure to tell me how annoying it was to alter them lol

    as much as i love my 3A-5 i have to say i don't trust it to hold more than a 15" macbook, its charger and a jacket. anything more and it gets ridiculously uncomfortable to carry and feels like the strap stitches might start giving way.

    if you're not carrying a laptop i'd just put the U-lock in a little dust bag and carry it in the bag itself

    I suppose you could run the shoulder strap through a Fabric Horse U-lock Holster.

  7. Somewhat not surprised if SS22 turns out to be lacking. These guys were slammed with three (that we know of) large and overlapping collabs/releases.

    It’s not as far off from the last release still on site and 45 gram increase on the new seems pretty negligible with how light the X-Pac bags are to begin with.

    That was my impression from purchasing my olive 3A-1 back in 2018. It's clear that 3A prices have arrived at a resting point per market demand.

    The price increase doesn't really surprise me.

    Have the prices even changed? They look to be the same as the previous couple releases.
