Hi folks,

Crumpler still has its ongoing sale but some styles have been reduced further.

Sometimes first come, first serve backfires on me. I bought this just last week on sale for $95 and has reduced further to $75. RRP is $195. I already have it and its a great bag.

You can also use cashback rewards for further savings.

Also I noticed the barney rustle medium has reduced further as well.

      I'm waiting for $65. Its a no brainer at $75 if you need a bag, but sadly I don't.

      Edit. well its another $6 off with CR, taking it to $69.

    • wjb on 16/06/2017 - 18:27

      It's still $95 from this link https://www.crumpler.com/au/dry-red-no-5-compact/colour-blac… (black only).
      The link posted by OP has 3 different colours to choose from.

      EDIT: $95 link no longer valid.

    Reckon it can hold a 15" laptop?

    • ChillBro on 16/06/2017 - 18:02

      Don't think so. I got the non-compact one and that barely fits a 15". I can't imagine a 15" would fit in a smaller version of this backpack.

      • sky blu on 16/06/2017 - 18:12

        What about fitting in the main zipped compartment? I have a Lenovo T560 which is 15.6" and I'm looking for a backpack that I can carry it with.

        Love Crumpler quality though.

        • ChillBro on 16/06/2017 - 18:16
          +3

          I guess you can fit it there with the compact backpack but then you probably can't put much else in the main compartment and the laptop compartment would be wasted.

          Why don't you two consider getting the non-compact one? It was made for 15" laptops and it's currently $150 from Myer if you use a coupon code (ANNIVERSARY20 I believe). Link here.

          @ChillBro: Thanks. I am only looking at this stage. I've been using a blue Hershel "Settlement" backpack for 2 years now and am looking for a new one. The side zip laptop compartment seems like a good idea but the reviews showed otherwise.

      • hibijibis on 16/06/2017 - 21:12

        i think it can fit a 15 macbook pro

      It says it fits 13" so nah. Too expensive to gamble

        Do you have one of these?

        https://www.crumpler.com/au/dry-red-no-11/taggd/modalListVie…

        Down from $475 to $140.

        Do you know what the wheels are like or should I be considering something else?

        • harkoliar on 16/06/2017 - 19:31

          Got one of the dry red check in luggage. Got it a few years ago for $200. Definitely roomy and lots of space. Sturdy as well.

          Brought it to at least 5 overseas trips with no issues. Even dragged it around in gravel, and got wet in a rickety boat travelling to island resorts. Still good as new.

          Just a note although never happened to me, I spoke to a crumpler store manager, she said fabric rips in the luggage isn't covered by its lifetime warranty. Can't confirm. Only wheels,clips and zippers are covered.

          But hard case luggage if it gets cracked, it's covered for replacement.

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 28/06/2017 - 17:30

      Definitely cannot. I bought this to carry my work laptop which is a Lenovo x240. It's alright a tight fit

      They are just great bags!! Really good quality, functional and lifetime warranty :)

      I bought some stuff the other day, now stuff are even cheaper, I bought more stuff lol

      Lucky I bought this bag via The Iconic for $75 or I'd be kicking myself buying it at $95!

      • harkoliar on 16/06/2017 - 18:47

        Yup I'm kicking myself already. Lol

        • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 18:51

          Did you at least use cash rewards? Lol can always buy another and return with old receipt.

      Had a shoulder bag for about 15 years and it's still going strong. Used it pretty much daily for most of that time too. Now have ,2 with another one ordered today just… because. Thanks, OP!

      • Nighteyes on 17/06/2017 - 00:35

        Do you find the lack of front pockets on the messenger frustrating?

        Looking for a good daily commute bag. The thing stopping me purchasing a crumpler is the lack of front pockets. Having to unclip then pull the flap secured with Velcro back seems tedious when you need to put your phone away quickly or your myki during a commute.

        • swalloweda on 18/06/2017 - 17:22

          I actually like the security aspect of having a zip under the flap, and I usually keep my phone + wallet in my trouser pockets anyway.

    • jaybo on 17/06/2017 - 18:07
      +2

      most people have said it already - but the build quality is amazing and they have a proper lifetime warranty.

      i bought the backpack above about 4 years ago (the 15" sized one) and i use it constantly and it's been amazing.
      i got a matching dry red ~70L suitcase with it, i had a zip snapped off it in sydney airport a few months back & dropped it off at their head office for repair a few weeks back, they could fix the zip but they actually found issues with some stitching they weren't happy with so they replaced the whole thing for free.

      unfortunately there was no direct like-for-like swap available so i ended up with a large spring peeper (wheely duffle bag rather than 'suitcase') but after bringing 30kgs worth of whisky home from japan in the last 24hrs i can confirm the new one is just as good as my old case! :D

      fwiw the new case retails for ~$465, i think i bought the original case for $300ish during one of their sales. it was an exceptionally trustworthy bag that saw some serious abuse (think of 35kgs of luggage being towed around the cobbled streets of Venice, Florence & Rome) without a hitch…

      can't possibly recommend the crumpler stuff enough!

  • anna10 on 16/06/2017 - 18:48

    I can't see a pix of the inside capacity of this compact one. I'd like to see the inside space OR is there no internal space for a jacket etc?

    • jjjjjj on 16/06/2017 - 18:50

      Check out their product video?

      • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 18:52

        Was just going to suggest the same. The videos are great but wish there was talking lol maybe the bags speak for themselves?

    • harkoliar on 16/06/2017 - 19:13
      +2

      Personally don't think there is enough space if your jacket is thick like a fluffy down jacket. If it's a normal thin jacket it should be fine.

      I have an umbrella, water bottle, lunchbox and some papers in the main compartment.

      Smaller stuff on front pocket and laptop in the laptop compartment.

      Edit: maybe a sample of my bag would help. Only the main compartment.

      • anna10 on 16/06/2017 - 19:19

        Yes, it won't be big enough, you're right. Like your matching Crumpler umbrella! Thanks for posting.

      • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 19:24

        Such a well organised bag!! Omg is that umbrella worth the price tag?? So tempted….

        • harkoliar on 16/06/2017 - 19:34

          Only if you like blunt design :).

          I have both euroschirm light trek and Crumpler blunt. Blunt feels lighter and sturdier but euroschrum feels like it has a wider diameter.

        • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 21:26

          @harkoliar:
          I had no clue about Blunt before seeing it on the Crumpler site. Does it actually withstand the wind?

          @KupoHo:

          Yes for wind. It was designed to withstand strong winds. its actually a NZ company that just partnered up with crumpler.

          Check some online reviews, they are pretty helpful to help you decide.

  • anna10 on 16/06/2017 - 18:53

    looked at their site or two, is there a video there on this link above that I missed?

    • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 19:01

      Apologies just realised they don't have a video up for this bag. The dimensions is 18cm in depth so I think you would be able to fit one but maybe not a thick one as it is quite "compact" lol maybe OP can give you a better indication.

  • nushy on 16/06/2017 - 19:00

  • Yuun Yii on 16/06/2017 - 19:19

    • pitpicker on 16/06/2017 - 22:40

      but shipping starts at $7, which makes it not as attractive.

    • harkoliar on 16/06/2017 - 19:37

      No, i would recommend place daypack bag because it has a waist clip. It's alot safer and keeps things in place plus has space for hydration bladder. No dedicated compartment for laptop though.

        • PurchaseAnxiety on 16/06/2017 - 22:57

          Look into the high Sierra bags on bag world. I got one on there for about $50 delivered. Ventilated back, waist strap, dedicated laptop sleeve, heaps of extra storage, built in rain cover.

    • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 19:58

      When I worked in the city, whenever I saw a cyclist, I would look at their messenger bags. Always seems to be a Crumpler! I think it might be the Barney Rustle one listed in the OP.

    • KupoHo on 16/06/2017 - 19:55

      Great price considering the rrp…I have the first gen one which is a bit narrower but functions the same (think I purchased for $150). I just love all the pockets which keep you organised (especially if you are disorganised like me lol). Only downside is it doesn't hold as much as my Antler hardcase carry on but I do pack for a toddler as well.

      I have the bag, it is absolutely brilliant (and the red looks great). But sounds like you want to use it as a daily pack. Not sure it's right for that, it is absolutely huge and spacious inside. Perfect as cabin baggage for a weekend away.

    There were 5 black ones available at the Crumpler store in Brisbane City. There might be more at the back. They're marked $75.

    I ended up getting a Pork Chop Fran for $120, down from $299 instead. It's a limited-edition model that's only sold in Crumpler stores… they don't even have it on their website.

    It's basically an upgraded Dry Red Compact. It doesn't have a zip for the outside compartment to allow quick access to 2 of the pockets (the other 2 pockets are individually zipped), metal clasps, two more pockets in the main compartment, a taller tablet storage area with a strap, an extra storage area on the left side "for a power bank", leather accents, a strap/back padding thing that lets you slide the bag onto a roller bag handle, and better fabric.

      Wow that would be great for a day bag. Less scary than the 5.11 MOAB 6 I've been using.

        Thanks for the tip. Got a Red 5 compact direct from the store and still had 4 of that and 8 or so Pork Chops. Decided on the regular Red5 compact as I didn't like how open the front sleeve / compartment section is at the front on the Pork Chop. Especially if it rains.

          Yeah, I like the metal zips and more rugged fabric on the Pork Chop, but I didn't like how open that back flap was. I was afraid any books or papers would fall out if the bag was held the wrong way. They should've kept the flap fully zipped like the No 5, IMO.
