So I get the slanted pocket. You can fit like an umbrella a jacket long stuff. I seen a comment saying that they should have done a half zipper at the top in a L shape and cut off the bottom half from top half. That would have been cool. Front pockets are always used for quick access. I would have considered if it weren't for that. I'll see what the second gen brings
OK. Just checked out the sling/cube they also offer and that can attach to the inside of the bag and MAN. I am really digging this system for a 35mm film camera set up. The sling doubles as a cube, has side access built in, and has plently of room for my cleaning tools (air blower and micro fiber cloth) plus LOTS of film rolls. I could also adapt it to carry a small travel mirrorless camera like my Sony a6000 or even the new X100VI (or the V for that matter). REALLY impressed. And yes, LOVE the blue liner!
I love the blue (I also tend to dislike the orange), though I don't like that the laptop flap is with the main compartment. On another note, I really appreciate that you showed the backpack on your back and on a shorter woman. It helps me with additional information since what works/looks great for/on you can be very bulky on me, and what's tight on you, can be perfect for me (hello AER Pro Pack straps!). Thank you for all your reviews, Ive been watching so many videos this past week trying to pick my "perfect" bag, I had no idea what a huge (amazing) jungle it is out there.
thanks for the kind words! I will say there is no 'perfect' bag - I'm making my own bag and it's not even 'perfect' for me haha, there are always features you will have to sacrifice. Happy hunting and let me know if I can help at all!
agree on your review sir! 1. luv the blue inside 2. laptop sleeve area “should” be separate 3. top quick access pocket is in weird location, things might get crushed? (tho appreciate deeper pocket so can insert phone vertically, wish more bags did that) 4. overall pretty cool, but the largish size to me, for EDC, is less a common EDC size for us smaller folks and looks more like a multipurpose short travel / camera gear bag. But you’ve heard a lot more about EDC wants than most, so what do i know :) 🎉
I haven’t reviewed a TB bag before but I just googled it - def similar! But Cubo’s diamond pattern and hue of blue is much more sophisticated looking in my opinion
I love bright colors for highlight effect. It self stands that’s a must for me. The side handles are meh. Front is a if I were to take from something you often say. It’s a vibe. I don’t care for modular since I use my own pgytech tech bag and toiletry bag. The arm straps are just ok and the laptop area is meh. It’s not bad for a first bag, but the price though I know it’s costly depending on order numbers is really really high entry point to invest in someone who hasn’t proven anything yet. Lifetime warranty is moot since they have no history to back it up yet but I like that they offer it. Being new, their entrance fee is too high to take leap. I recommended a pgytech bag to you that you said you’re hyped to check out and that one for $100 less comes with a free camera type bag. It’s a tough sell. If I’m being honest, I’d pass on this one for me until I can see some in the wild
This thing is really, really cool to me. If I wasn't already planning on picking up the Fyro, this would likely be my next bag purchase. I may still pick up that sling that briefly featured here (and though you have a huge backlog, I do hope you have a review of that in the lineup) I think the teeny carabiner/ loop system especially is smart-- it has the functionality of molle, without screaming LOOK AT ME, I OWN SEVENTEEN GUNS. Functionality of the tactical-style bag without the aesthetics. Will definitely be following their work closely. (The link right now seems to be broken, and their storefront is up yet when I google, but I'll be checking back)
Seriously debating this or a GR136 Northseeker. The NS is a little heavier but also definitely more heavy-duty and simple, while this is astonishingly light for how feature-dense it is. The NS is a third of the price in exchange for a long wait time, too
@@Nomads.Nation could be gridstop or ripstop, depends on how the material is made and manufactured. I had a custom dopp made and I had options for both Grid and Rip when picking materials. I went with grid 🤷🏽♂️
Overall, it looks like a great option. Not a fan of this particular colour, but it might appeal to some wanting something "not all black". Blue lining is dope. Clamshell opening is dope.
The blue inside is great, the addition of camera cube is GREATER, the design is pretty cool and unique with the front zipper and i could see many unique differentiated designs with it which is cool for the brand too. I would have to see it in person to see if i pick one up. But at least now i know it exist haha.
I used to want that kind of opening to the main compartment. The zipper go all the way down to the base for exactly that kind of on the shoulder opening for xxtra quick entry. But more and more reviews I watch that it has such a pronounce friction I don't want it anymore. But impressive that they managed to stuff so many features and still maintained the weight at 3 oz. Most other boutique brands would probably run this a lot closer to 4 oz. already.
Bloo is Cool like Glue in a Pool.! A real Pro that you are, can do a three & half hour segment in 19minutes, no problems at all. Right.?! Something that Cubo would be hoping you do, as they do. Great presentation.
This bag looks pretty cool, but I don't really like the boxy look in backpacks and not a fan of modular bags. I do think this bag has potential and looking forward to see if they can iron out a few of the quirks in future releases. Def think this bag would look dope in a black/red combo.
I enjoy the lighter colors on the inside. As you get older, having a black inside means you can't see all your dark gear, lol. My last bag I would have to approach with a flashlight if I wanted anything or treat it like search and rescue with a right hand search.
This bag with 2” knocked off the thickness (or tapered as viewed from the side, thinner on top) would be an awesome EDC. I hope they’re not stuck due to the accessory “cubes” being designed for this thick of a bag. Could still use the existing accessory cubes on the bottom with the tapered bag though.
Looks cool, I signed for their preview code, but didn’t get any email or anything. Guess I’ll have to wait, their little camera sling is interesting to me.
I can see why they go for a blue interior because orange bas become kinda mainstream these days, so the blue is definitely more unique, but while I still love orange liners, the blue really doesn't sit right with me, that also goes for the few other bags that use blue interiors like the Alpaka Bravo Sling Pro, it just isn't for me.
This is almost the perfect bag for me, wow. I've always loved the blue interior of Thule bags and the ripstop orange of Alpaca, always said to myself a blue ripstop interior would be heavenly... and it is on the few bags that have it, like the Alpaca sling. But man this bag gets it really right lol Also love the front admin, love the modularity, and especially love the weather resistance. Been looking for a bag like this as my new bike to work commuter for a long time. Only gripes are the full clamshell (personally prefer top loaders) and the price. $350 isn't terrible, but the sling is 170, each cube another 50, z-biners 20. Way too much all in all, for me anyways. Might hold off to see what CarryCubo brings next. This bag could be amazing with a few minor updates, and I'd love to see a fold top or even just another zip bag but with a separate laptop compartment and side access.
Beautiful bag! Question: how tf do you find the time to develop a backpack, review all these bags, record videos AND answer all the comments? I know you're not alone, but jesus, that's a lot to manage.
For real. That's one of the reasons Aaron is my favorite bag channel. The guy puts in an insane amount of effort while still delivering quality work. Also admire his ability to keep reviewing other bags in a non biased way despite those very bags being his competitors once he launches his own. Really goes to show the true passion he has
I remember when I watched your review of the Alpaka Bravo Sling Max, and it had that blue lining, in that video you didn't like it but I guess it grew on you😂 Personally I kinda like it but I prefer when it's orange. I don't see many bags using that orange lining anymore, and going more towards the blue, do you have any idea why?
Great point on comparing Alpaka - to me while they are both blue, the execution is very different. Even the subtlest shade/pattern change can make all the difference in the world and imo Cubo’s blue was great as to where alpakas just looked cheap to me.
My concern is that the laptop sleeve is inside the main compartment. Overpacking can put a lot of strain on the laptop, particularly the screen, especially if the items within are unevenly distributed and cause a bulge. They should have a separate compartment for laptop, like Recon or Borealis with hard frame. A hip belt would also be nice to have when the backpack is fully loaded.
Could u do a video on the pros/cons on internal backpack organization vs carrying a tech kit, I feel like i'd rather just a super minimalist backpack and good techkit, so the extra organization in this packback feels like too much and it adds more weight :/
love the idea! to be straight up I probably won't be able to do a video on that anytime soon, but I will say that I crafted my Fyro bag to be what I consider "perfect" organization for a EDC backpack. A few easy-to-access pockets in The Hatch, a few small pockets in the main compartment, and that's it! I much prefer to load up a few pouches in a bag then have a full admin compartment like this, but obviously lots of people like this style as well. Any other specific questions feel free to ask!
Not only should the laptop compartment be seperate, but I think it should also be at the back of the bag to act like a framesheet. I love the blue interior tho.
One aspect you don't talk about is whether the exterior fabrics are lint/hair magnets or not. That is useful information that other channels mention. This bag is interesting for its unique features but I don't like the aesthetic. I think the double exterior carry at the bottom of the bag is overkill. I agree with your Cons. I'm fine with the blue lining.
so you want me to mention in every review of every fabric whether that particular fabric is a lint magnet? Just trying to get an idea of what you are proposing
Maybe an idea. Bit of a ripoff from what pack hacker is doing but meh, is to 3d print some other laptop sizes. A bag not fitting a 13" MacBook is rare so not that useful. But 14 and 16 are a different story. So just a prop to fit and show?
@@Nomads.Nationthere must be people in Hong Kong willing to do this or maybe professional places. Having it shipped across the world seems a bit wasteful xd.
thanks for asking! not all of our links have discount codes, but if we do have one we always put it here. We currently do not have a discount code for Carry Cubo
@@Nomads.Nation Thanks for the reply, I love how you respond to every comment you get. I'll def use your link for whatever I get, the reviews are very helpful. Keep it up!
I like the blue interior, but I find it clashes with the green version exterior, which I think is the best looking of the 3. Also the bag is WAY overpriced, compared to similar offerings from much more well established brands and it brings nothing innovative to the table. Aer City Pack Pro is the same 24L, same organisation, lighter, more comfortable and we know their bags are durable, their warranty means something; and it’s $140 cheaper. PD Travel Backpack 30L is 27L not expanded, same overall design, ~same weight, a bit less organisation, ecosystem options, but again we know it’s durable, we know we can trust that warranty; and it’s $120 cheaper, but can often be had for $150-180 less on promos. So yeah, I’d never trust a new brand with that much $, considering there’s no innovation.
"no innovation" seems kinda harsh. I think aesthetically they are bringing a lot of very new ideas to the table, and their modular system is very well thought out. Agreed that the price is high, but for newer brands it's basically impossible to compete with established brands like Aer and Peak Design who have decades of sales and the ability to optimize their supply chains and lower their prices. At the end of the day, this is how the free market works, so we'll see how Carry Cubo does!
A brand that's making many times more bags gets an economy of scale that a new company can't. I'm also hoping that's not simple profit, but R&D and paying their employees well.
@@Scott__C I understand "the struggle." of being the new kid on the block. But I, as the consumer, can't be expected to pay 70% more out of pity for the new guy, when there are amazing options at that much lower price point. I mean even if they came out at the same price as the big brands, it would be a hard sell, because of the lack of trust/history, but being this much more expensive on top of that... is a hard pass for me; and it will be for many.
If you are asking for an honest opinion (looks only) …i think it is very ugly. I hate all the diff colours and the shape. Those 2 colours in the front are ugly. You nailed it when you said it’s like a box…..honestly, for ME, it is one of the ugliest bags i have ever seen. I am team Bellroy and Fjallraven all the way!
harsh words, but I appreciate the honesty. Bellroy and Fjallraven bags will never self stand or protect your tech gear the way this bag will, so it's important to keep the use cases in mind 💪
Do you think Carry Cubo is making a statement with its first bag release? 👇
So I get the slanted pocket. You can fit like an umbrella a jacket long stuff. I seen a comment saying that they should have done a half zipper at the top in a L shape and cut off the bottom half from top half. That would have been cool.

@@jcap8391I dig it
The blue lining is really refreshing change from orange or yellow styles that requires wearing sunglasses. It makes the inner parts bright. Love it.
Agree!
The blue is fucking dope, love it.
If I wasn't saving for the Fyro would be picking this up.
🫶🏽
Me too!
Definitely surprised I like this bag. Your teaser didn’t seem to be for me, but the full review? Definitely for me!!
yea you really got get into it to see what they are trying to do
O rings! At last, someone has got these going on - one of the best things on Tom Bihn bags!
They are very versatile that’s for sure
the blue is awesome. Nice to see something different than the orange so many bags seem to use

I don't mind the laptop area being not separate if it's well padded, suspended, and maybe with a velcro to secure the latop.
Agree, give me an 18L and I’d buy it right away for edc office commute. Love the aesthetic over the alternatives
Good to know! @@j0404t
I absolutely love the blue lining! Reminds me of all the new bright color linings that Tom Bihn is doing
💪🏻
Looks very cool. The grid almost gives like 80s video game vibes. Blue is cool on the inside. Glad someone is thinking outside the box on that.
Well said
Not a fan of the rip stop on the exterior, but the blue interior is super nice. Love it.
It’s two bold choices for sure - they’ll definitely be a memorable brand for those choices
I like the blue lining inside, certainly more than the orange lining of my Aer City bag 2 with x-pac.
Colored linings are very polarizing, it’s always interesting to hear everyone’s takes
The lining is dope and verrrrry Tom Bihn. I mean, look at the o rings.
I haven’t reviewed a TB bag before but I just googled it - def similar! But Cubo’s diamond pattern and hue of blue is much more sophisticated looking in my opinion

@@Nomads.Nation Thanks for the reply, I love how you respond to every comment you get. I'll def use your link for whatever I get, the reviews are very helpful. Keep it up!
@@brianc7646 this community means the world to me - I'll keep responding to every comment for as long as I am capable. Cheers!
The first link doesn't seem to work.

Hey Aaron and the team.
When's the Gear For Girls next upload?
Should be a week or so!
@@Nomads.Nation awesome. Looking forward to it. 😁
Agree, I’m excited for it and keep checking for it. I’m pro blue lining
Where is this made? China?
Vietnam 🇻🇳
It would be genius, if the anti theft zip clips were magnetic too
but then they'd be snapping to each other all the time
@@Nomads.Nation they'll snap on together and stay there, that's the point. Rather than them moving about. It's just an option
@@mohammedfaiisal interesting idea!
sounds like have some work cut out for us :D
@@carrycubogood luck 😏
Is it just me or the web link is broken?
was, just fixed
The price turned me off immediately. 350? Really? Come on now.
Ain’t cheap that’s for sure
the blue liner looks tacky to me. Makes it look like a school bag
It’s def a bold pick that won’t be for everyone. I do like it though
I like the blue interior, but I find it clashes with the green version exterior, which I think is the best looking of the 3.
Also the bag is WAY overpriced, compared to similar offerings from much more well established brands and it brings nothing innovative to the table.
Aer City Pack Pro is the same 24L, same organisation, lighter, more comfortable and we know their bags are durable, their warranty means something; and it’s $140 cheaper.
PD Travel Backpack 30L is 27L not expanded, same overall design, ~same weight, a bit less organisation, ecosystem options, but again we know it’s durable, we know we can trust that warranty; and it’s $120 cheaper, but can often be had for $150-180 less on promos.
So yeah, I’d never trust a new brand with that much $, considering there’s no innovation.
"no innovation" seems kinda harsh. I think aesthetically they are bringing a lot of very new ideas to the table, and their modular system is very well thought out. Agreed that the price is high, but for newer brands it's basically impossible to compete with established brands like Aer and Peak Design who have decades of sales and the ability to optimize their supply chains and lower their prices. At the end of the day, this is how the free market works, so we'll see how Carry Cubo does!
A brand that's making many times more bags gets an economy of scale that a new company can't. I'm also hoping that's not simple profit, but R&D and paying their employees well.
@@Nomads.Nation I'm sorry, but adding a splash of colour and tilting a zipper diagonally is a far cry from being innovative.
@@Scott__C I understand "the struggle." of being the new kid on the block. But I, as the consumer, can't be expected to pay 70% more out of pity for the new guy, when there are amazing options at that much lower price point. I mean even if they came out at the same price as the big brands, it would be a hard sell, because of the lack of trust/history, but being this much more expensive on top of that... is a hard pass for me; and it will be for many.
@@houserhythmI said they were bringing some new ideas to the table is all, which I think aesthetically, they are def trying

You know what’s weird, after I got my evergoods bags I can’t really carry anything else.😂
Evergoods has that effect on people haha
If you are asking for an honest opinion (looks only) …i think it is very ugly. I hate all the diff colours and the shape. Those 2 colours in the front are ugly. You nailed it when you said it’s like a box…..honestly, for ME, it is one of the ugliest bags i have ever seen. I am team Bellroy and Fjallraven all the way!
harsh words, but I appreciate the honesty. Bellroy and Fjallraven bags will never self stand or protect your tech gear the way this bag will, so it's important to keep the use cases in mind 💪
Fjellraven... As in... Kånken? The most boxy backpack ever made?
@@MrJenssenvery good call, but aside from that one most fjallraven bags are more traditionally shaped
Love the blue
