Maxpedition 10L Valence

I had watched a YouTube video of the Valence and was intrigued by the comments about it staying in place on the back. One of my peeves is how almost all sling bags packs and shoulder/messenger bags tend to move around and I really don’t like stabilisation straps. Having received it yesterday I am really pleased I got this. It really is comfortable to wear and does stay in place once you lock the carrying strap right around you. It is so low profile I was able to keep it on and had no issue getting into an Uber Taxi, sitting with it on and then getting out at the end of the journey. Internally it is organised really well. I really appreciate the area for carrying tech devices. It has become my dedicated bag for my regular visits to a dialysis centre for treatment. The only problem now is that I am seriously considering getting a second one in a different colour to use as a EDC carry bag for non work days. I need more carrying capacity for work so use a Camelbak pivot backpack but the Valence is perfect for day trips or general walkabouts where you only need to carry the essentials and have a bit of extra space for the odd item you pick up such as a few small top up grocery items. This bag definitely works for me. It is expensive but I honestly think it is worth it for the ease of carry and the convenience with regards to using public transport and taxis as it is no hindrance at all when sitting down.

This is expensive but is top quality , very comfortable to carry sits really snug on your back and doesn't move but swings round to your front easily so you can acess things without removing , I actually use it hillwalking as find big packs very uncomfortable , I can get a set of waterproofs a water bottle food and other little things easily in it , lots of secure pockets , very pleased with purchase
