They look cool, but if I ever pay 330€ for a backpack I'll ask someone to take me behind the barn and shoot me.
- At least you'll already have a nice bright red ❌ target in your back for them to aim at
  
  Which not all have it. It is just an additional lightnig system which can be helpful for cyclists.
- If my work required me to travel around a lot, 300 for a solid work bag seems like a normal investment.
A not so cheap brand I have good experiences with is Sandqvist, from Sweden. If you can afford it they offer good quality and they have good values. Y They also list on their website where they source materials and where things are made (mainly south-east Asia and a little bit Europe, nothing in US or China).

Curious about the downvotes ratio
- Probably people who think this is advertising over information. For example, here's a list of European made bags would be better.
  I originally skipped past on the assumption it was disguised advertising
  
  I mean it definitely is, and for a wildly expensive product.
- I think the downvotes are bots. I've noticed it myself, some downvotes at first, and then it starts gaining traction. Maybe it's big tech, not liking the competition of the federation, or it might be tankies. Who knows.
  Fun fact: the upvotes don't accumulate as on Reddit!
- 84% as of right now, voyager on android shows it by default I believe.
  
  89% now. I’m using voyager on iphone and never saw that feature before, neat
Hooray, European PFAS
I saw they have two bags that are updated versions of existing models but now developed with AI and more expensive. I'm genuinely curious what "developed with help of AI" means here though - is it just a gimmick?
