5 dumb things backpack designers need to stop doing
- dudus 11y agoI know this one is not mentioned but I don't get the headphone holes you find in most packs. I've never seen anyone actually using it. My current bag had one. I tried to use it once. The hole is so small that it was almost impossible to fit the earbud Jack through it. Even a small model. Even when I managed to it had some rubber flaps that pressed so tightly on the cable I couldn't move without the risk of breaking the cable. I just gave up in the end. I can't see how this can be useful if you can't easily pass the wires through it. I get that you want to avoid water from coming in when not in use. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Here's a pic of what I mean: https://gabebernal.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_0217-e1337801195628.jpg?w=1200&h=900 https://gabebernal.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/img_0217-e133...
- lhl 11y agoI'll add a personal annoyance as well: any backpacks that are completely black on the inside (especially top-loaders). These bags are so concerned with looking tacti-cool that they forget that it's impossible to see/find anything in them.
- Mikhail_Edoshin 11y agoThis is just great. A backpack manufacturer would die for this kind of feedback.
- w4tson 11y agoMy kingdom for a backpack that will standupright! How many times I've cursed the backpack gods when I've placed my bag on the floor to get something out and if I'm not a ninja holding it in place with my feet it will tumble to the deck regardless of how much stuff is inside
