Wrong. The prices are the same. The OP linked to the travel pack which is a different product than the backpack. The 20L backpack is also currently available for $140.
? Not sure where you read that. The exterior is marine vinyl which is water proof, that's why they used it. The zippers are water resistant and seem to seal out water really well. it's the primary reason I bought the travel pack years ago.

Edit: fwiw I love the travel pack. I use it to travel for work and for that purpose its worth its weight in gold. Speaking of weight, that's the downside to the water proof material. The pack weighs a few pounds even empty. Its not a featherweight. The zippers are pretty stiff as well so they take some effort to move. I thought they would loosen up over time, but that hasn't been true, which is good and bad. I bring up the weight because they weigh carry ons in europe. I've been busted there with the bag but my average across all bags was fine, so they let me board with it without paying extra.

That said, the pros outweigh the cons for me. It fits my 16" m2 mbp laptop in the sleeve just fine. Love the shoe sleeve and all the elastic pockets for cables and such. It also has a luggage pass through to slide it over a carry on roller handle. I also tuck the straps into the back plate (it snaps shut) so the straps don't dangle into the aisle when I slide it under the airplane seat in front of me. It's the only bag I carry on nearly all of my work trips. Fits a few days of clothes easily, without expanding (I rarely expand it).
You aren't buying this from Costco. You have to follow Nomatic's return policy

Would I have been happier to have picked it up at $140? Heck yeah! $140 is def a steal of a deal! But as Uber's time travel went bust and canceled in my area, I'm quite happy to have snagged it for $157 for some upcoming events.

Is this Ok as a personal item? Basically can it be pushed under the seats on a plane? The expanded version seems like it's too thick

If you expand it out, it likely wouldn't fit, but as long as not in expanded mode, never had a problem.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the travel back.

Also the prices are the same. You linked to the travel pack which is a different product than the backpack from the other deal. The 20L backpack is also currently available for $140.

How are the travel vs backpack for edc? Been using an Aer city pack and feel 14L is a bit small now that I carry my headphone and lunch to work.

I saw a YouTube video review where the reviewer said the backpack scratches easily and the scratches won't go away. Have other people experienced this? That's kind of a deal breaker for me

I've read that these are not water resistant, any one have any first hand experience or insights? Thanks

This is helpful. Thanks. I read the water issues on reddit and this review https://packhacker.com/travel-gea...ravel-bag/

This review is for the travel bag, also a different product.

This is link to the 20L travel pack review. Keep in mind that this review is at the $299.99 price. I definitely would not buy it at $299 with the issues, but I can deal with them at $157.
