Welcome to Gear 43. I'm Ryan. This is
0:02
the Pioneer Savant Carry
0:04
[Music]
0:18
Pack. At first, I thought I would hate
0:20
this pack, but I love it. Uh, Pioneer
0:23
Carry gave this pack to us for review.
0:26
Just FYI, I want to dive into the specs.
0:28
Uh, this is a 20 L pack. TSA considers
0:31
this a personal item. So, you can bring
0:33
a carry-on as well as have this because
0:35
it fits under your seat. Keywords fit
0:37
under your seat. Um, being a 20 L pack
0:40
makes it small enough to do that. It's
0:41
made with a durable ballistic nylon that
0:44
is treated with DWR. Keeps off moisture
0:46
really well. It's also got a me a
0:48
waterproof membrane inside. I was in
0:51
Norway. I was snowed on and rained on
0:53
and held out moisture perfectly. It's
0:56
got three main compartments. Uh, the
0:58
front compartment here is more or less
1:00
for your wallet, your keys, pens,
1:03
business cards, etc. The advertising for
1:06
this says you can put shoes in the front
1:08
of this if you want. Again, I don't know
1:09
that I'd want to put shoes in my pack
1:11
and dirty up the inside. Uh, the middle
1:13
compartment is great for storing rain
1:16
jackets, an extra t-shirt, or underwear,
1:20
socks, um, small do kit. The back of the
1:23
pack, absolutely love this. This is for
1:26
technology. This is where you would
1:28
store your iPad in a floating pocket. Uh
1:30
absolutely necessity when you're when
1:32
you're traveling to have a floating
1:33
pocket. That way when you set the bag
1:35
down, your your iPad, etc. does not hit
1:38
the ground. But if this does not fit,
1:40
it's got a larger compartment here for
1:43
your PC, your laptop. Like I said in the
1:45
beginning, I didn't think I'd like this
1:47
pack. Uh I was completely wrong. Uh the
1:50
reasons I thought I wouldn't like this
1:52
pack were the main one being it didn't
1:54
have external pockets and when I travel
1:55
I like to carry a water bottle uh other
1:58
items uh but being that this does not
2:01
have stream um external pockets it's
2:04
more streamlined. When I went through
2:06
TSA it was a breeze. Uh I brought a
2:09
water bottle just to show you. Uh
2:10
normally when I bring a water bottle
2:14
traveling I think it has to go on the
2:16
outside of the pack. When I go through
2:17
TSA though I make sure the bottle's
2:19
empty. I throw it in the middle, zip it
2:20
up, and throw it through the uh X-ray
2:22
machine. It worked out flawlessly. I've
2:25
also had packs in the past get through
2:26
the ex go through the X-ray machine and
2:29
get caught up on its external pockets.
2:31
It happens. It's it's it's annoying, but
2:33
it happens. This one is very, very
2:35
streamlined, which makes it go through
2:37
TSA very easily, as well as be very safe
2:41
when I'm out and about uh hiking through
2:43
Norway. Uh, I'm not worried about the
2:45
crowds around me uh grabbing things from
2:48
me by mistake or whatever. It's a safe
2:50
pack. I love how durable it is. Uh, the
2:54
ballistic nylon and these YKK
2:59
zippers go really well together. And
3:01
what I'm trying to show you is the
3:03
zippers themselves have holes in them
3:05
for locking. If you are concerned about
3:07
the inside of your pack, you can lock it
3:10
up, which I really appreciate the
3:11
convenience of that. The thing I didn't
3:13
like about the pack uh is only one minor
3:16
thing. When you do reviews, sometimes
3:18
there's products that you just really
3:20
struggle to find something you don't
3:21
like. And what I didn't like was I did
3:24
not find an internal holster for a pen.
3:26
It's a small gripe. I travel a lot for
3:29
business. Um, and it'd be nice to put a
3:31
pin in a holster and not worry about
3:33
losing it in a pocket. Other than that,
3:35
it's a very small gripe. If they ever
3:38
redesign this pack, I would recommend
3:39
they add it. But again, it's not the end
3:41
of the world. This is my go-to travel
3:43
pack for all travel. I love using it as
3:46
a day pack or a um a personal item,
3:50
which doesn't count as your carry-on.
3:51
Here's another thing I like about this
3:53
pack. Uh at the middle compartment has a
3:57
sleeve right here. I don't know if you
3:58
can see it very well. And this is
4:00
perfect for putting your tickets or even
4:02
your passport or wallet in things you
4:05
need to access very, very quickly but
4:07
want to keep safe. I really did enjoy
4:09
having that right there. I just unzip,
4:12
grab it, show the TSA agent, and put it
4:14
back. As far as who's this who this pack
4:17
is for, uh, very obviously it's for
4:19
people who travel. Travel a lot. Whoever
4:21
designed this pack knew what they were
4:23
doing. There's a lot of features in this
4:24
pack I really enjoyed. But it's for
4:26
someone who travels a lot. I travel
4:28
quite a bit for work and I use it as a
4:30
business pack. When I'm out and about on
4:32
vacation, I use it as a day pack. I've
4:34
been very very pleased with both using
4:37
it for both. There's no one perfect
4:39
answer. Uh oh, it's for camping. It's
4:42
for this. I use it for almost everything
4:43
and I love the pack. Yeah. Thank you for
