Flowfold Denizen Limited 18L Totepack Review

Looking for an ultralight backpack that doesn’t sacrifice durability? Say hello to the ultra light Flowfold Denizen Limited 18L Totepack. We love Flowfold for their style, durability, and use of cutting-edge materials. The Denizen ticks all of these marks, and weighs less than a water bottle. Let’s hit the trail!

Design and Walkaround

The Flowfold Denizen Totepack is a simple, rugged bag designed for adventures. It’s an outdoor-ready backpack that can also be carried like a tote. Measuring in at 17” tall by 11” wide by 6” deep, the Denizen Totepack is also no slouch when it comes to capacity with an 18 liter payload. But here’s the kicker: the whole thing weighs a paltry 16.5 ounces.

Sixteen and a half ounces. Let’s let that sink in for a moment.

How does Flowfold do it? It’s all about the materials. The Denizen Limited model I am testing is made from X-pac fabric, a multilayered material that’s known for excellent water resistance, ultra lightweight, and superior durability. Ballistic nylon is used judiciously for the straps and reinforcement points, coupled with water-repellent YKK zippers to keep the weather out. This all adds up to a ridiculously lightweight bag that’s also tough enough to handle whatever nastiness Mother Nature chooses to throw at you.

The Flowfold Denizen’s layout is designed to take full advantage of the bag’s capacity. It’s a top-loader, accessed by a 16” wide zipper that allows complete access to the cavernous main compartment. There’s an 8.5” by 6.5” zippered pocket on the interior back panel that flips up to reveal a 12” by 15” unpadded laptop sleeve. You’ll also find a 7.25” by 9.25” zippered pocket on the front face of the bag. That’s all the organization to be had; the rest is dedicated to packing that big ol’ space however you like.

 

The carry options on the Flowfold Denizen are deceptively simple. While the backpack straps are lightly padded, the 2-1/2” strap width promotes even weight distribution. Those straps are also mounted close between your shoulder blades and curve outward so that the bag conforms to your body shape. The tote-style carry handles are designed and reinforced in such a way that they center the weight when carried off-the-shoulder, which is great if you’re using it as a free-standing shopping bag or carryall. With a flat bottom, it will also stand on its own if evenly packed. 

As with the other Flowfold products I have tested, the construction in the Denizen Totepack is excellent. Stitching is tight throughout, with extra reinforcement at all the key stress points. While the ballistic nylon used for the straps is thin, it’s plenty durable. All the seams are nicely finished, and that X-pac material is used both inside and out to keep water from sneaking from one compartment to another if you find yourself with a leaky water bottle.

In Use

I see the Flowfold Denizen Limited 18L Totepack as an adventure bag. The combination of durable weather resistance and flexible capacity make it a bag that’s equally capable for trail walks, days at the beach, a camping carryall, day trips, or a shopping day at the farmers market. It really wants to take you outside.

I don’t usually do “what fits in my bag?” pics for my reviews, but I thought it was worth doing on here to illustrate the capacity and flexibility of the Denizen. Check it out:

I loaded the Denizen up in this pic with all kinds of stuff: a laptop, a power brick, a notebook, an iPad, organizer pouches, sneakers for the gym (size 10), a water bottle, and a two pound bag of coffee. There’s still room to spare for my gym clothes, a packed lunch, and more. You could dump the work gear and fit multiple sweatshirts, beach towels, and snacks. You could fit several days of clothes for a camping trip, or start empty and load up on groceries and flea market bargains as you go. The wide-open design and wide mouth make it easy to pack for wherever you wandering takes you.

Given the lack of structure and padding, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the Denizen is for regular backpack carry. The bag’s weight is nicely distributed and snuggles up against your back so that it’s not flopping around while you’re moving through fields or crowds. It’s very comfortable, even when fully loaded.

There’s another application that I really like for the Flowfold Denizen: as an extra travel bag. Because it’s so thin and light, it packs easily in a suitcase for day-trips when you reach your destination (with water resistance!). And because it has such great capacity, you can use it for the flight home as a carry-on for all those extra treasures you picked up along the way. I’m looking forward to testing this out on my next family trip.

Caveats and Considerations

An ultralight & minimalist bag like the Flowfold Denizen does make some compromises that may impact your intended use. Lack of padding and structure are the big ones to consider here.

The Flowfold Denizen has virtually no padding. There’s the slightest bit on the rear panel and in the backpack straps, but that’s it. If you’re looking for protection for your laptop and electronics, you’ll need to add your own. There’s also no padding in the tote handles and they’re very thin; I did find that this could get uncomfortable if I had the bag heavied-up and was using the tote handles.

This is also not a bag for managing all of your electronics without help. You’ve got two generous pockets for small stuff, but tech-heavy users will need to use additional organizer solutions for accessories and gear.

I believe that the X-pac material and design of the bag has a nice structure, but there’s still a lot of flexibility there. You could get poked in the back if you’re loaded with odd-shaped items. I’ve not had this problem yet, but I also typically have an iPad or a laptop in the sleeve which provides some additional structure.

Conclusion & Pricing

The Flowfold Denizen Limited 18L Totepack is a simple, rugged bag for simple, rugged adventuring. Great capacity, impressive durability, and excellent weather resistance make for a bag that begs to go play outside. It will happily play the role of your shopping buddy, too. And at an ultralight total weight of just over a pound, it won’t weigh you down. It’s also made in the USA by a company that’s easy to like… check out their core values and you’ll see what I mean.

The Flowfold Denizen Limited 18L Totepack retails for $129. Check it out at the Flowfold website.

Aerix DaVinci Drone review

It is amazing how capable and feature-rich personal drones are these days. They have become much easier to control, more fun to fly, and a better bang for the buck. For years, drones have been tempting me but I have never really been interested in the cheap ones and the high end ones were just too expensive for me to justify. But as with most/all technologies, as time progresses devices get better, cheaper, and more capable. In this case, Aerix has recently released a new all-in-one, brushless, GPS and FPV live streaming enabled UAV, the DaVinci racing drone.

The Aerix DaVinci features four brushless motors, dual GPS, 5.8ghz FPV, 15 minute flight time, in addition to easy flight operation and built-in safety functions. Considering it’s relatively small size, the DaVinci is very capable with a solid list of helpful tricks under its belt. It has a matte black rubber exterior over hardened plastic giving it a very stealthy, futuristic look.

Package Contents:

  • Drone
  • Controller
  • 4.3-inch FPV Monitor
  • Drone Battery
  • Controller Battery
  • Blades
  • Landing skids
  • Charger
  • Charging cables
  • Tools

Getting the DaVinci setup and in the air:

Setup of the DaVinci wasn’t the most intuitive thing I have ever done… Being a first-time drone flier, making the DaVinci operational and flight worthy did involve a fair amount of consultation with the manual. Though the manual did a decent job helping me thru the process. The total time before getting up in the air was approximately 10-15 minutes.

In retrospect, I wish I had checked out this video Aerix put together before getting started. But overall, setting up the DaVinci wasn’t that complicated or difficult.

Tech Specs:

  • DRONE SIZE (mm): 245 x 245 x 90
  • WEIGHT: 230 grams with battery
  • BLADE SIZE: 120mm Diameter
  • DRONE BATTERY: 7.4V 1200mAh
  • DRONE CHARGING TIME: 90 min
  • FLIGHT TIME: Up to 15 min
  • TRANSMITTER BATTERY: 3.7V 2000mAh
  • TRANSMITTER CHARGING TIME: 150 min
  • TRANSMITTER USAGE TIME: 80 min
  • CAMERA RESOLUTION: 1920*1080
  • FPV RESOLUTION: 1280*720
  • RC RANGE: Up to 250 meters
  • FPV RANGE: Up to 250 meters
  • FPV COMPATITBILITY: ALL 5.8ghz Goggles & Monitors (FatShark, FXT, SkyZone, Spektrum etc.)
  • MAX ALTITUDE: Safety set to 300 feet

The Aerix DaVinci drone is well constructed with quality parts and a durable design.

As mentioned above, the DaVinci features four small but powerful brushless motors that can propel the drone up to 30 miles per hour with a safety altitude set to 300 feet.

The two front motors are standard/upright and the two rear ones are inverted a very interesting design. According to Aerix this engineering allows “for the perfect blend of torque, thrust and lift.”

The landing gear is removable and made of similar tough plastic as the rest of the drone. But unlike the matte finish of the main body and wings, the skids have a high gloss finish. They’re pretty resilient and put up with a few pretty rough (think Navy pilot landing on a carrier) landings.

Functions:

  • One Touch Take-off
  • One Touch Landing
  • GPS Altitude Hold
  • GPS Position Hold
  • One Touch Return to GPS Home Point
  • On Screen Display: Height, Number of Satellites, Flying Direction, Horizontal Speed, Vertical Speed and Power in Real-Time
  • Low Voltage Warning with Return to Home and Auto Landing
  • 5.8ghz FPV for Low Latency Live Streaming Video

Flight:

When I described my first few flights with the DaVinci to my niece, she sent me this pic. I thought it very funny cause she was spot-on about my experience of learning how to fly the very zippy drone. I was cautious and AR during my first few flights but was still out of control more often than I’d like to admit.

I got better at flying the little drone relatively quickly. This is my fourth or fifth flight and I have things pretty well under control. The real key is learning how to use the DaVinci’s built-in flight assist (auto takeoffs and landings, hold position/altitude, return home, etc) and safety functions allowing for better controlled flight.

Though I found visual flight much easier to control than using the feed from the attached color FPV screen. In addition to video, the screen also displays: height, number of GPS satellites, flying direction, horizontal speed, vertical speed, and battery power level. I hope to get better at controlling the DaVinci via nose-camera and video link cause that will enable me to fly the drone higher and further than with just visual flight. I’m also considering acquiring an FPV enabled headset to get a cockpit vantage point.

Camera, pics, and video:

The front-facing camera records both still pictures and color video. The camera itself is manually adjustable (vertically). Activating either is done via a dedicated button on the remote control.

The camera records to a microSD card that is inserted into the underside of the DaVinci. Seems like it should be more protected and secured…one bad crash and that card could potentially be lost forever.

Here is a still picture captured while moving forward.

This nose-camera video was taken after a few days of practice…more or less in control the whole flight.

The tail of the DaVinci has an embedded array of LEDs that do a pretty good job of communicating connection and power status of the drone. Basically when its green everything is good and when its red something needs to be addressed (aka no connection or batteries need charging).

Man down…

If you can’t tell from the pic above, the DaVinci is on its back after a pretty rough landing where it bounced, flipped, and came to a stop. This traumatic incident happened during its maiden voyage (aka initial battery charge worth of flight). One of many actually, including hitting a tree AND several 30 foot falls. As I have mentioned, it has taken me a while to get the hang of flying the DaVinci. That said, I can testify how not only zippy and agile this tiny drone is but how tough it is as well. I was doing my best to be careful but stuff happens. Nice to know the DaVinci survived me being a drone noob.

Overall I have truly enjoyed my time with the Aerix DaVinci drone. Probably the most fun I have had reviewing a product in years…and that says a lot. The DaVinci has been available for pre-order for a while with initial shipments happening in mid-November and new orders arriving in December. Considering its build quality, features, and price point, I highly recommend the Aerix DaVinci to (or a holiday gift for) anyone who has been considering buying a drone.

HouSmile Ecan Vacuum Robotic Cleaner review

I’ve been the happy owner of a Dyson 360 Eye robotic vacuum for over a year. It’s been great knowing that all of the little crumbs I spill at breakfast would be magically gone by dinner time. I was eager to have a look at HouSmile’s Ecan Robotic Vacuum Cleaner to do a comparison. 

The vacuum arrived in recyclable packaging. After reading the instruction manual (yes, I actually take the time to read the instructions), I assembled the vacuum by installing the battery and attaching the brushes using a cute little screwdriver they were kind enough to include. They also include an extra brush and dustbin filter. Now plugged in, the vacuum’s red led blinked while it happily sipped electrons overnight to prepare for its maiden voyage.

The next morning, a blue LED told me that charging was complete. I unplugged the cable, put it in the middle of the room and tapped the solitary button to send the fledgling floor-sucker on its merry way. Press once for small rooms, twice for big rooms. Ok, but the manual isn’t specific about how small and big rooms are defined.  Small diagrams illustrate the different preprogrammed floor patterns, the smaller being a kind of corkscrew pattern, the larger kind of bumps around the room for a while, does a corkscrew pattern around the middle, then runs the perimeter.  I’m sure there are algorithms to guide its motion, but to me, it looks like it just goes where it wants, apparently without much rhyme or reason.

I set up a few obstacles and sprinkled a few targets around, then, not knowing how room size is defined, I tapped the button once, releasing the vacuum to devour as much floor-food as it could find. The vacuum is refreshingly quiet and happily meandered and ricocheted around the room in arcs, devouring all the debris in its path, first dancing around the middle of the room,  then scooting the perimeter. The vacuum continued down the hallway, occasionally changing its trajectory until, unfortunately, the little guy took a tumble down my stairs the second time around, but no damage done. On subsequent trips to the precipice, it got stuck three out of four times, wiggling back and forth, but not enough for it to regain the lost traction from the wheel pushed over the edge. Again, no harm was done and a quick nudge sent it lumbering along.  I sent it in motion again and it bounced and careened around for about two hours, an impressive run for such a small battery. Observations noted it seemed to go over the same places a number of times while missing others completely, but with its hit-and-miss approach to cleaning, I’m confident that it would eventually find every inch of the floor given sufficient time. It doesn’t have a lot of suction, but it’s plenty for most of the stuff that ends up on the floor. The vacuum opening isn’t very wide, only about 4 inches, but the rotating brushes do an adequate job directing debris into the vacuum’s maw.  The vacuum was quiet enough for me to watch television with a volume level that didn’t cause ear damage.

 Once exhausted, the vacuum simply stopped. No beeps, no flashing lights, nothing. It should be noted, this vacuum doesn’t know where it is. Consequently, when the battery dies, it does not return to the place it started, so you will need to send a posse out to find it. Limiting its roaming range to one room at a time might be a good way to keep it from becoming a wayward sheep.  Since it doesn’t come home on its own, plugging in the charger is a strictly manual operation – find it, pick it up and plug it in. There is also no timer, connectivity or programming functions so you’ll need to intentionally launch this beastie when you want a cleaning.

I took the opportunity to have a look in the dustbin. Mind you, my Dyson 360 Eye had made a run around the house yesterday, yet the HouSmile dustbin was packed with dust bunnies, remnants of Halloween candy wrappers and hair from my cat and the two long-haired beauties, my wife, and daughter, with whom I share my house. Emptying the dust bin was a simple process of opening the top cover, popping out the bin, opening the lid, inverting and tapping into the trash. In my case, a few hairs had stuck to the filter, but a quick wipe with a paper towel send them into the trash with the rest.

On a second cleaning, the vacuum abruptly stopped on a shag carpet. Flipping the vacuum over and taking a look at the rotating brushes, I found they were almost tied in knots with the number of hairs that had been wrapped up around them.  An easy cleaning and they were just as good as new, but I wonder how long they’ll hold up.

Overall, the vacuuming done by this machine is quite good. It’s no match for my Dyson for cleaning power and thoroughness, but it is inexpensive, but needs a bit of human interaction from time to time. I imagine this vacuum would be ideal for single-floor domiciles with open floor plans and lower pile carpets.  For smaller rooms, and under furniture, it does very well. The HouSmile Ecan robotic vacuum is well constructed and functional. Not many Bells and whistles, but it gets the job done.

Ekster Parliament + Tracker Wallet review

What makes a wallet a “smart wallet?” How about an RFID-protected card-slider mechanism for storing your credit cards? Perhaps a solar-powered tracking system so that you can find your wallet when it goes missing? These are some of the features you’ll find in the Ekster wallets, all wrapped in luxurious leather. I’ve got the Ekster Parliament Bi-Fold Wallet & tracking card for this review. Let’s go learn more!

Looking sharp and organized

Measuring in at 4.1” tall by 2.5” wide by .59” deep, the Ekster Parliament wallet is roughly the size of a pack of playing cards. It’s an all-leather wallet with a structured, formal look that pairs nicely with business or formal attire. The model I am testing is the black leather and has Ekster’s shield logo embossed on the front face for an extra touch of class.

The design of the wallet is built around a card slider system for storing and dispensing your cards. It’s a box that offers RFID/NFC blocking and is designed to hold 4-6 cards (depending on thickness). Push the thumb lever on the bottom of the wallet and your cards slide out, presented in a fan-like formation so that you can pick the card you need.

The rest of the wallet design is wrapped around the card-slider core. The front cover that will hold two additional cards, and there’s an additional card pocket on the back of the wallet. None of these slots is RFID protected so you have a place (or three) for your badge-swipe work ID, non-scannable cards, or tracking card (which we’ll discuss momentarily). Open the front flap and you’ll find a wide elastic band, finished with leather, to secure your cash or additional cards. All in all, you’ve got a total capacity in the wallet for 9 cards plus cash (or some additional cards) under the elastic band.

Overall construction of the wallet is excellent. The leather is quite good, with a substantial and luxurious hand feel. The dye work on the leather is excellent with consistent color, no color change with scratches, and no dye bleed into your clothes. Stitching and assembly is rock-solid throughout with even stitching and nicely finished seams. It’s a nice build, well in alignment with the high-end style of the wallet.

Where’s my wallet?

Ekster also offers a customized tracking card as an option for their wallets that utilizes the TrackR technology. It’s the size of a thick business card and is designed to fit in the rear card pocket on your wallet.

The card is a is designed to work with the TrackR app you’ll download to your smartphone. Choose add a new device and choose the “Works with TrackR” option to select Ekster products. Add a name for your card, and you’re paired in moments.

  

Once you’re paired up, the TrackR has some nice features for close range location. Lost your wallet? Tap a button on the app to cause your card to ring so you can find it. Lost your phone? Double press the button on your tracking card to set off an alarm on your wallet. Both of these features work as long as the app is open and Bluetooth is enabled (and in range). Leave your wallet somewhere? The app will report the last known location while within Bluetooth range. 

For long-range tracking, you’ll need to register with the TrackR Crowd GPS Network. If your wallet is within range of another device that has the TrackR app open and is part of the network, you’ll be notified of the last detected location. The app will also notify you if you helped someone else locate their TrackR enabled device. 

It’s also important to note that the TrackR card made for Ekster is solar powered. Charge it in direct sunlight for a couple of hours, and you’re good to go for a month or so before a recharge. That’s a nice bonus feature, given that a lot of tracking devices of this type are battery operated.

Stepping out with the Ekster Parliament Wallet

As a great looking wallet, the Ekster Parliament is a winner. It’s structured form and sophisticated style looks great with business wear or for formal occasions. It’s a classy accessory.

If you like your wallets super-slim, you should know that the boxy form doesn’t really favor front-pocket or back-pocket wear. It’s over 1/2” thick empty. It works great stashed in the inside pocket of a suit coat or blazer but shows a lot of bulk in your pants pocket (especially jeans or slim-fit dress pants). If you won’t mind a thicker wallet or keep your wallet in your bag (or your jacket), this won’t be an issue for you.

The card-slider system works exactly as intended, keeping 4-6 cards nestled snugly in it’s RFID-blocking chamber. Given that there’s not much of a gap between the cards when deployed, however, it’s not easy to quickly grab the card you’re looking for. You could keep your frequent-use card at the back of the stack, but I often found myself pulling all the cards out of the wallet to find the one I want. This means extra fumbling if you’re at the cashier paying for that double espresso you just ordered. I could just keep that card in the flap, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the RFID protection.If you’re only carrying those cards for occasional use (like at a formal occasion) this won’t be a big deal, but it’s irritating if you’re going for a credit card several times throughout the day. 

The elastic band for cash is also a bit of a design issue for me. On the Ekster web site, they show a couple of bills folded in half inserted behind the band. In reality, the wallet width is actually narrower than a standard U.S. bill. This means you’re either fighting to stuff your cash into the band or folding it twice to make it fit (which adds even more bulk to the wallet). If you’re used to going cash free and just keep a couple of bucks handy for emergencies, this may not be an issue for you. If you just got a bunch of bills in change for that espresso, however, you’ll find yourself fighting to get it all wrangled under the band.

Like all wallets, your satisfaction with the Ekster Parliament will really come down to personal preference. I see this wallet as ideal for formal occasions riding in my jacket pocket, where cash and frequent use of cards are not required. If you’re constantly going in and out of your wallet all day long, or carry a lot of cash on a regular basis, you may find some of these design features to be less than ideal. If you don’t mind a thicker wallet and prioritize the RFID protection, this may be the choice for you.

I do like the tracking system for close-range location, as I have a tendency to lose my wallet in the house. Or my phone. Sometimes both. The ability to ping one or the other to find where they have gotten to is really handy. This does require that the app is always running on your phone, however, to maintain the connection to the TrackR. The long distance tracking depends on other TrackR users being close to your device, which could to hit or miss… but the app does also log the last detected location of your device within Bluetooth range. This means that you can find out if you left your wallet at home or at the office before you go into a full-blown panic.

Conclusions and Pricing

If you’re looking for a classy wallet and don’t mind the thickness, you can’t go wrong with the Ekster Parliament Wallet. It looks great, has a clever RFID-protected card sliding system, and additional storage for cash and scannable cards like work IDs. The TrackR card is great for short-range location and remembering the last place you left your wallet if you wander off. Build quality and finishing are also excellent, with multiple leather finishes available. The Parliament wallet retails for $69.95 on its own or can be bundled with the custom solar-powered TrackR card for $99.95. Check them both out at Ekster’s web site!
