Thanks for the review and first look. What do you think of the durability for travel? Will it handle the abuse of carry-on flights, fast paced security checks, buses, trains, and all that fun stuff that comes with traveling?

Thanks for the review. Im kind of glad I didn't purchase the backpack.
I just picked up a Pelican case and pick'n'pluked my own shape. LOL. I didn't really want the hard foam anyways. Personal preference I guess. Did I save a few bucks sure, but i lost it in time fitting it all in a Pelican 1550.

And this case also doubles as a launch pad if the grass is too long. Just sharing my setup thats all.

Cheers!

I also have a 1550 although it's a bigger footprint and a little bulky. Plus the pick n pluck foam is just a pain in the butt and hiking with it for more than a half mile will be brutal. I think as my accessories increase I may have to eventually spring for the bag. I'm headed to the alps on December and am not sure which would serve my needs better.

I definitely like my backpack for solo protection and schleping it around but I wish it was a little more versatile for carrying things other than just the solo. I've gotten creative and strapped my snowboard to it using a truck tie down, and when I hike in to go fishing, I have carabiners hanging off with my gear. I still don't know what I'm going to do when I try to bring it backpacking this summer. Guess I might have to figure out a way to strap it to my dog. I would have loved to see some outside straps to secure various items, a waterbottle holder, and maybe an extra external pocket for a jacket and other various day hike essentials.
