@elpepe Is there a way to set up some kind of alert when a bourbon-filled item is being sold? Because I want to buy bourbon-filled things. If not, would someone be so kind as to purchase one of these backpacks of questionable color, fill it with bourbon, and ship it to me? I’d gladly pay $49 and a dozen or so fidget spinners for that. I may even be persuaded to throw in a USB hubman and some butterfly stickers.
I recently spent <$5 more for a LowePro camera backpack so that I can take my dSLR and a few other things on day trips.
Neither my bag nor this one will accommodate a large bulky item such as a winter coat or several textbooks, and neither are designed for a hydration bladder. My bag can hold a water bottle though, unless I use that pocket for a travel tripod.
I agree with others that these colors are fugly, but I think the biggest flaw with this design is that it has lots of small compartments preventing it from being an all-purpose backpack, but it also lacks a dedicated purpose – perhaps as a briefcase you wear on your back? Seems a bit too pricey for a bag you’ll have trouble fully utilizing.
I actually kinda like it. I even kinda like the colors… I’m unsure about how waterproof it is, but it doesn’t matter, because I absolutely do not need another backpack.
I really like the style, reminds me of Thule. I don’t like the colors. Maybe the tan if I lived in the desert, and the red if I lived on Mars. But alas, I like water too much for both.
Hallmehrk Pitch for Tomorrow (Just Keep Swinging):
In this two-hour extended product placement vehicle, Jenna (Barb Flairison) and Peggy (Sinter Packinthorpe) are struggling to keep their gourmet pretzel shop afloat in the midst of a worldwide downturn in the popularity of complex carbohydrates. And it’s the holidays!
Ruthless businessman Tark Kittington (himself) has his eyes on their property. He says it’s the perfect place for a new crafting space for underprivileged children, and he’s eager to convince the landlord of Delicious Twist to release the struggling bakers from their lease. But Shane (Dave Peterson), Jenna’s best friend and unwitting love interest, discovers a dark secret: industry magnate Tark has filed plans to build a Bluetooth earbud factory that occupies the entire block, and Delicious Twist is the last obstacle in his way.
Meanwhile at the bakery, a jolly stranger leaves a JBL® Mini® Speaker Dock™ behind one day, and it seems to have supernatural powers. When it plays Christmas songs, the pretzel shop can’t keep up with the number of happy customers they have. Can the ladies’ warm, buttery treats melt the cold industry giant’s heart? Can the Lightning® connector, the ability to charge a device while playing, and full, room filling sound triumph over incessant dropouts and tinny tunes? Will Shane and Jenna figure out that they want to tie the knot in more than just dough?
Find out in “Dock the Halls”, presented with limited commercial interruption by JBL.
@mollama this one was for @sohmageek and all the other speaker dock fans. If I successfully predicted a speaker dock sale for them it would be a Christmas miracle!
I’ve got one of these in black and like most of it. It’s very comfortable to wear. My biggest gripe is it will make your back VERY sweaty in hot weather. I have one of the SwissGear backpacks you can get at Sam’s for $40 and they don’t have that issue nearly as bad.
Anyone notice the stitching on the bag. It looks bad. Very bad. If the one displayed was selected as the best example of the product I would worry about quality control on this product. For this reason, I’m out.
On the bright side, if you own one of these backpacks, the chance of an accidental mixup with someone else’s bag are dramatically lower than with other backpacks.
I tried for a solid 20 minutes to buy this damned thing but constantly kept erroring out. Billing zip was said to be incorrect, but it wasn’t, verified with the bank. Tried in Chrome, Safari, on a mobile device with different results, but similarly infuriating roadblocks (besides that, it indicated there was an ‘error’ preventing me from checking out, but upon revision, everything was correctly input). So sad I won’t be able to purchase this. Meh indeed.
Maroon just happens to be my favorite color. Hmmmm, I actually need a new backpack, well, I don’t NEED it. My current one still holds my crap, but it’s looking a little tattered…damnit meh.
For what it’s worth, I had an Incase laptop sling back in the day, and the quality and organization was really good. I’ve since gone full backpack and changed to OGIO, but I’d personally trust Incase more than most of the brands of packs I’ve seen here.
@therealjrn I was actually thinking about one for travel…But I added up a years worth of heads and then one for my wife…It doesn’t make sense dollar wise…considering I picked up a sonic care 2 pack from Costco for 50 bucks…and they have LI-Ion batteries, si I will get 3 years out of them…and they come with travel cases

Nope, those colors are too fugly.
@Stallion maybe?
@Thumperchick Not even a small chance in those 2 shades
@Stallion @Thumperchick Nope
@Stallion what if you donned your color-blind goggles?
@RedOak My guess is they’d look even worse, this is as good as it gets.
@Stallion I mean. That’s why they’re here.
@Stallion found the vain club
@RedOak @Stallion Until I read the description, I didn’t know that the “Deep Red” one wasn’t black.
If only it came in blue
Extremely not my taste. I hesitate to call anything ugly, but if it is, or is. Seems this is.
@Jonas4321 It is as if it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Seems expensive for a bag
Lots and lots of pictures of the outside and only a glance at what’s on the inside. Did I just describe Meh or Miss Universe?
$50 for a maroon backpack?
Is it filled with bourbon or something?
@elpepe Or a puky beige one…
…and or something seems more likely- something ugly and expensive.

And the red ones are only $122 at Amazon, not $200 (for black.)
@jake5snooze thank you, $122 seems more like it for a wishful price.
@jake5snooze Black is down to $70. Not sure what’s up with the comparison price today.
Blaze orange because I’d only wear it in the woods.
/giphy Blaze Orange
PERFECT. My favorite line in any comedy I’ve ever seen.

I don’t need a backpack at the moment, but this one would be nice…
in black or blue or something inoffensive
Time to pack it in, meh.

@Oneroundrobb ditto.
@Oneroundrobb @Spektorg ditto plus one
It’s sort of Star Trekkie. You know, when they’re on a jaunt to a planet. But the guy in red isn’t wearing one because he’s about to die.

@djslack I am looking forward to them using at least one of your stories tomorrow!!!

@j8048188 could you force a 18 pack of beer in it? I ask because I ride and sometimes need to grab beer.
@goldnectar I think you’d have to take the beer to individual cans to make it fit.
@j8048188 thanks for answering. I pulled the trigger so I’ll find out. If not, guess I’ll have a daily backpack and a riding one.

@thumperchick can you help?
@emilyhechavarri Write into https://meh.com/support and we’ll be able to look into this for you. I’ll keep an eye out for the message.
Too big to a ‘personal item’ that discount airlines allow for free like SPIRIT and AA.
@orateam AA allows standard-size carry-ons. Even in basic economy (now.)
If it had the iconic portrait of Che Guevara stenciled on – I’m out.
Maroon just happens to be my favorite color. Hmmmm, I actually need a new backpack, well, I don’t NEED it. My current one still holds my crap, but it’s looking a little tattered…damnit meh.
Anybody know if the tan one is AR 670-1 compliant? It looks like it from that pics, but it’s hard to know for sure.
Ohhhh preeeeetttty. Bought the red.
Screw it. It seems like a great deal on a high quality $200 backpack. Besides, if not me, who will buy the maroon one?
blocky-cursed-cider
this is a solid solid meh…not an awesome pack and not an awesome price
For what it’s worth, I had an Incase laptop sling back in the day, and the quality and organization was really good. I’ve since gone full backpack and changed to OGIO, but I’d personally trust Incase more than most of the brands of packs I’ve seen here.
No purple?
the Rule is THule!..
@fastharry FH! I’ve been missing you shitting all over the products each night! Did you finally make bail?
@therealjrn nah…I’ve been pretty happy with the deals…not that I’m buying any, but they seem pretty square…I mean MEH…
@fastharry We really missed out on those Quip toothbrushes.
@therealjrn I was actually thinking about one for travel…But I added up a years worth of heads and then one for my wife…It doesn’t make sense dollar wise…considering I picked up a sonic care 2 pack from Costco for 50 bucks…and they have LI-Ion batteries, si I will get 3 years out of them…and they come with travel cases
