Arc'teryx Granville 20 Pack vs Trakke

- the laptop sleeve is a little awkward. You can fit your laptop in there but the sleeve doesn’t go to the bottom of the bag and instead ends about ¾ before it reaches to the bottom. This means if you use a laptop sleeve like myself who also keeps the charger in the sleeve, that “bulge” in the laptop sleeve is going to make it harder for you to reach to the bottom too

I can vouch for both, they are really good bags. They both fit a 15" Dell XPS - the Khyte laptop compartment is padded.

This bag is great, but smaller than youd expect, the way the top flap is manufactured, it doesn't fold out of the way when open, so it gets in your way when you try to access the main compartment. This is pretty frustrating and a surprising design coming from Arcteryx, who usually is very thoughtful about ergonomics like this.

no likey. Trakke Hoy 25L - good design, one good colour option, but looks super bulky.

If you're not familiar with arc, terex archeterics archeterix is a company that is constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to developing product...

The zippers are from YKK, which is reassuring since they’re pretty much the gold standard for zippers. They’re AquaGuard-style, which prevent moisture from seeping in. While the zippers themselves are fine if a bit stiff, the ring pulls raise some doubt.

The magnetic closure is slick. However the straps are not up to Arcteryx quality like other bags such as the blade and the arrakis. The back pad seems to have been put on the chopping block as well. The bird is stitched rather than thermoformed

And one more comment on this con here we so we obviously you know we I was you know testing this pack but we also had other people try it on and after...
