Their noses and eyes come in different colors, and the pads on their paws are brick red or gray. The brown tabby cat is usually healthier than other cats who are the result of over-breeding or extensive inbreeding by cat breeders trying to display recessive genes (especially albino). There are some interesting further facts on how the type of stripe is created through genes! Because the tabby pattern is a dominant gene, it is the most popular type of cat coat pattern in the world. The “ M” on their foreheads is one common tabby characteristic.

Brown Tabby Cats and Their Tabby Traits Brown tabby cats boast that distinctive “M” on their foreheads. Interestingly, it is also believed that the Toyger’s creator intended the breed to inspire tiger conservation in order to increase the number of the big cats in their natural habitats. Toygers are believed to have been bred by one woman in the 1980s who imported a tom from India in order to perfect a tiny tiger phenotype. The breed is purported to have been created by breeding Bengals to a variety of cat breeds. The Toyger (“toy tiger”) is another unusual brown tabby cat who looks wild. These wildcats are nearly extinct in their natural habits (primarily Asia, Central America and South America) - so our brown tabby Felis catus is the closest most people will come to seeing their regal relatives. The Amur leopard cat, the Tsushima leopard cat, ocelots and margays are dead ringers for brown tabbies. There are a few wildcats who are about the same size as our domestic cats resembling the traditional brown tabby cat as well. Bengals were originally bred from the Asian leopard cat ( Prionailurus bengalensis bengalensis). The Bengal is arguably the most remarkable and rarest of household cats to wear the brown tabby cat coat. Photography by Shvaygert Ekaterina / Shutterstock.

The Parker Commuter Backpack also has a removable hip belt, which attaches to the pack with velcro. Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack Hip Belt We haven’t lost this particular sternum strap (yet), but we’ve had it happen on other packs that use a similar attachment style. Of course, with time, this divot will only get worse. First of all, the hook digs into the material on the backpack strap, which has already caused a tiny divot to form. Unfortunately, we’re not too fond of how this sternum strap attaches to the pack. ![]() It also has some elasticity to help with comfort and an elastic strap keeper for that coveted #DangleFreeExperience (there are strap keepers on the backpack straps as well). There’s an adjustable sternum strap, which closes with a magnetic clasp that’s easy to work with one hand. Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack Sternum Strap All that to say, that dreaded swamp back should be kept to a minimum. The padding itself is porous and breathable-plus there’s a huge air channel running down the center of the back panel. Now, two weeks in, it’s oh-so-comfortable. But-we’re happy to report-it’s since broken in very nicely. The back panel felt stiff and uncomfortable. When we first started testing this pack, we were not fans of this design. Seriously, there are two bricks of super dense, super thick padding. The back panel is where you’ll find all the padding. Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack Back Panel We would have appreciated a touch more padding to make the carry more comfortable. Although they do feature nice, breathable mesh.

It also has a reflective panel, as well as reflective decals, so you don’t sacrifice visibility for water-resistance. But if that built-in water-resistance isn’t enough for you-say you have to bike to work in the pouring rain or your life involves touring waterfalls and rafting rivers-you’re in luck! The pack comes with a rainfly, which tucks away into a zippered compartment at the bottom of the pack. We already mentioned that the Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack is highly water-resistant. Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack Zippersįinishing off the materials, the Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack features durable YKK zippers throughout, plus hardy Duraflex and Woojin buckles and hardware. There’s also welted fabric over the zipper of the main compartment for even more water-resistance. Rain will simply bead and run off of the pack. Overall, this material is durable, although prone to aesthetic scuffs. And, while we usually find that this kind of plastic-y material feels swishy, the thickness of the fabric mitigates that. That said, there is no ripstop on the Parker Commuter Backpack like there is on the Timbuk2 Impulse Travel Backpack Duffel. So if you’re interested in getting into the nitty-gritty, we suggest you head over there. We dig deep into this material on our review of the Timbuk2 Impulse Travel Backpack Duffel.

The backpack also has a highly reflective panel at the bottom, regardless of colorway, which adds to the techy vibe and helps with visibility. Timbuk2 Parker Commuter Backpack Reflective Panel We’ve been testing the black colorway, which we think looks particularly sleek in that urban, Matrix-y sort of way. Several Timbuk2 packs have only been available in black, so try not to be too overwhelmed with the options here.

I can spend my Wirebug charges to do powerful Silkbind moves, which deal a special kind of damage that tires monsters and allows me to ride them.Īll of Rise’s improvements make its ending that much more disappointing. It’s a satisfying feeling, being in complete control of my movements. I can zip to dodge an attack, dodge again in midair, and bring my hammer down on the monster’s head with a crack. I started Rise using the Wirebug just to dodge and recover, but it didn’t take me long to learn how to zip around fights and bash on the monster from creative angles. As it lowers Rise’s skill floor, it also raises the skill ceiling, allowing for incredible plays. I have more chances to save myself from the often brutal enemy AI.īut that mobility cuts both ways. I can escape a fight by scaling a mountain, or follow a retreating monster by zipping over some buildings. I don’t only have to choose between dodging left or right I can also dodge up. It lets me pull myself to safety and heal before the monster can catch me again. Instead of lying on the ground after a big hit, I can use my Wirebug to recover in midair. This mobility helps give Rise a more modern feel than its predecessors. The Rakna-Kadaki is a new monster in Monster Hunter Rise. The Wirebug opens up the entire map as playable space, instead of the prebuilt alleyways and arenas from previous games where I can battle beasts and collect mushrooms. I can climb a mountain by alternating between zipping and running up the side. I can use them back to back to dash twice as far, or just one at a time to get myself in the air for a quick strike. ![]() The Wirebug is not a tool you need to equip in Monster Hunter Rise it’s an unlimited system with a short cooldown, and it’s always with you, even back in town when you’re crafting weapons.

It has an incredibly solid foundation in place. And while neither World nor Rise are my "favourite" MH game at present, I strongly suspect Rise will be once its expansion hits. That said, Rise is also getting a "massive expansion" soon, which should help with the content issue. My "ideal" MH game would be somewhere in between the two: with both the groundedness and content-richness of MHW, and Rise's focus on map design, interactivity, and improved mobility. Rise's mobility is also unmatched, between the Wirebugs and new skills, and the typical MH Rise hunt will see you grappling and swinging and chasing monsters across the various maps, feeling like a monster-hunting ninja. Rise's maps aren't as large as World's, but are infinitely more interesting, with much more verticality and interactivity. However, it more than makes up for this with its maps, mobility, and gameplay, which are the best in the series. Meanwhile, Rise has a terrible story and doesn't do a great job of curating its content, which can make it feel a little lighter and less content-heavy. It can take ages just to find your way around and actually get to hunting. Movement can often feel slow and sluggish, and some of the maps in World are terribly convoluted. However, the game tries too hard to be cinematic and "immersive," and this comes at the expense of the gameplay and pacing. World is gorgeous, has a lot of content, and a reasonably interesting story and village hubs that really pull you into its world. They're both good Monster Hunter games, but each has a very different approach to MH that feels like it excels in one department and compromises entirely too much in another. ![]() ![]() ![]() If enough are filed against a merchant, that merchant may no longer be eligible to offer that credit card to customers as a payment option. ![]() Chargebacks are often accompanied by penalties as well as the demand for the money.
