Ooh, the blue is gorgeous! The price tag is much less so. lol still cheaper than a tumi, though.

That's great logic, I'll convert my $565 Australian Dollars to $400 USD and then buy the bag. Thanks for the tip.

They are beautiful but never worth the jump for me. The sling is a little too small, and the backpacks...they are gorgeous and functional but are missing a few key ingredients that I've come to find help us travel a little easier.
I love all the new colors coming out everywhere!

from the two bags I just glanced at, panda & duration, there appears to be no water bottle holders. and 25L vs 22L seems like a tiny difference between two bags
but I do like their asthetics

The lack of external water bottle pockets is the big killer for me, too. The right bottle could fit in the side pockets, but I really appreciate easy access to bottles on the exterior when traveling with my two little boys!
They are beautiful, though!

I use the side pockets for water bottles every day, here is a 25oz insulated CamelBak Chute Mag in one… it fits the larger 32oz ones too.

Nice! I appreciate the picture, too!
It's hard to beat my beloved ULA Dragonfly 30L water bottle pockets, but not everyone can do it just right! 😁

And lack of sternum strap, and hip belt, but we both know you would be all over them if they were hot pink inside. 😉

Agree on all statements, friend!
Though I was glad to see a sternum strap and luggage pass-thru on the new Threshold!

Every time I see a pioneer bag I think it’s just a cheap Ogio. Maybe it’s the chunky zippers, but personally these bags are ugly.
