CRKD’s Vortex is a turn on a peak designer backpack, but to play

Embracer Group– Steal CRKD recently launched a backpack, The $ 99.99 Vortex 1.0. During a recent holiday, I replaced it instead of my transition in the last eight years, 20-liter Top design daily backpackwhich CRKD looked thoroughly. However, Vortex has handheld pockets for games, which helps to stand out, especially at this price.

I usually like to use a Backpack peak design, except that brings it on vacation means I have to leave my manual colors at home. It is not widely enough to adapt to the original switch after things are stuffed in its side pockets. Vortex 1.0, on the other hand, let me bring my switch 2 and the deck, thanks to my two dedicated handheld sleeves. It is also expanding and higher, which means that its upper part of the shutter patent can hold a 16-inch laptop and tablet.

Despite similarities with peak design, there are small details that need to be (but not) to duplicate, as if you have multiple lunches, or you have vertical, or are velcro-equipped shelves that allow you to adjust the height and width of each section.

Vortex 1.0 is a third of the cost 30-liter daily backpackwhich makes it good value for players who don’t want to turn into play Tetris. But the paddling for materials and shoulders do not feel durable or ventilated compared to my top design bag, which still looks and operates in a new state after almost decades. In other words, Vortex cannot compete on a toe on some of the most important ways with a backpack that tries to clone.
