I had been using Nomad<\/a>, the back pack from Bailey Works for a few years but I started to use Fairweather’s Packable Pack just to change.<\/p>\n

The outer mesh pocket is added from this time and it’s my favorite. (My Bailey got some dust…)\"\"These outer mesh pockets are almost like a standard for UL mountain back packs and I’m really into how convenience they are. Frankly, if there is even a tiny thing I don’t like on a new bag I go back to the previous bag but it’s been a few month since I have been using this one.<\/p>\n

I didn’t expect that the reflective rain cover in the mesh pocket can reflect the car light well behind me. Since my previous bag could load a lot more, I often struggle where to put my grocery but I put the U-lock in my jeans pocket and put leek or celery in the pocket instead. When I try to find a way to load more stuff in the small bag I feel like “oh, this is how UL is?”.\"\"<\/p>\n

I like most of the features of the bag but the bungee cord of the main compartment doesn’t close as tight as I want sometimes. What the heck! So I swapped it to a random around 2mm diameter non-elastic lace and it got much comfortable. If you would like to close the bag quite tight, please try it.<\/p>\n

By the way, I just happened to choose the white lace but I don’t recommend it because it gets dirty so easily!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":146644,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":146644,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1280,"height":960,"file":"2023\/11\/IMG_8020.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_8020-640x480.jpg","width":640,"height":480,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":77437,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8020-640x480.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"IMG_8020-900x675.jpg","width":900,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":134471,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8020-900x675.jpg"},"large":{"file":"IMG_8020-1048x786.jpg","width":1048,"height":786,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":174024,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8020-1048x786.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_8020-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":109003,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8020-800x600.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":509781},"post":146643,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_8020.jpg"},"acf":{"ctm-post-priority":"0"},"post-meta-fields":{"_edit_lock":["1745478599:41"],"_edit_last":["41"],"_thumbnail_id":["146644"],"ctm-post-priority":["0"],"_ctm-post-priority":["field_6522836fa8f5e"],"_my_meta_value_key":["[{\"pid\":40398,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (black)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-black.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/a\/2\/a2408434-8_1.jpg\",\"selected\":true},{\"pid\":40399,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (beige)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-beige.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/a\/2\/a2408442-9.jpg\",\"selected\":true},{\"pid\":40400,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (spectra black)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-spectra-black.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/a\/2\/a2408451-10.jpg\",\"selected\":true},{\"pid\":45720,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (rip white\/black)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-rip-white-black.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/d\/s\/dsc03700-25.jpg\"},{\"pid\":43739,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (algae green)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-algae-green.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/d\/s\/dsc06132-2.jpg\"},{\"pid\":45721,\"name\":\"*FAIRWEATHER* packable pack (rip tree camo)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/fairweather-packable-pack-rip-tree-camo.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/d\/s\/dsc03688-23.jpg\"}]"],"_wp_old_date":["2023-11-14"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global\/146761"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review-global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
