The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.

When you opened the big pocket: “Ho crap, my laptop!!!!!”
just an explanation why baby shampoo is better than normal shampoo or dish soap:
all types of soap have tensides in it which are basically molecules that attract water on one side and dirt on the other - so they encapsulate the dirt and bring it into a solution in the water.
the difference lies in their acidity: normal dish soap has a very basic pH value so it is really harsh and can damage some materials chemically, while baby shampoo is more neutral and therefore not as harsh.
still, even with harsh chemicals, most of the cleaning will always be just physically brushing the bigger particles away from the surface ... even with washing clothes most of the part is done by the washing machin physically movng the garments aroung and loosening the dirt particles.
btw, great video, bo! thanks fpr sharing this advice in that prifessionally produced manner.
Wow, thanks for the indepth explanation! That is good to know!
Thanks mate!
you are welcome - i have studied chemistry once and plan to finish it in the next few years (in addition to having worked a bit at henkel in the development of soaps) - and i plan to incorporate explanations like this into my blog posts about functional clothing, complete with graphics and electron microscope photographs and such. so expect more of those comments when appropriate ;).
@@Youknowthebo dude i have some leather parts in my bag so what to do like its an herschel.

@@dharshancarlos6319 depends on how dirty it is. leather should be cleaned as gently as possible if you want to keep it pristine. if it is really dirty, you can still soak it in water like Bo described in his video. Just make yure you get it air dried and then try to flex the leather parts around a bit since when leather dires it tends to get a bit stiffer. on the other hand, leather gets a nice patina when it gets wet and dries and you might even like that. just keep in mind that you should always air dry leather and dont use heat on the material.
Lets admit, every backpacker,campers need to learn about this
I'm happy to know that you see it that way. Feel free to share the video 😉✌️
I definitely needed it-- with five backpacks and counting--😂
I really appreciate you making a video like this. This type of cleaning vids are actually surprisingly rare on youtube. Please make a sequel in how to clean different types materials of bags and how to "Disinfect them" because that really matters. Specially now when there is an outbreak of virus... please... also how to clean different types of Shoes....
You know that the corona virus can’t be transferred to one other by objects right?
0:27 NOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo
😂
Just want to get this video to 100 comments lol! My backpack SMELLS so I appreciate your work
Haha. Thank you very much, mate!
Such good detail and patience. I love the way you shot this using different angles to show us how to do it right. Major props Bo, thanks!
Thank you so very much for such a detailed, step-by-step process!
I attended a Veterans Event some while ago, and was given a high grade military backpack, formerly owned by a Veteran from the war.
It's heavy, very well constructed, with lots of compartments and gear holders.
However, the zippers-- I noticed-- were almost cemented together with sand-- and very tough to open!
And at first, because of this--I was going to just give it away to another Veteran friend-- but later I thought, "No-- I'm going to learn how to clean it-- and get the zippers working-- and use it, because it's really a fine piece of military equipment!"
And, being a Military Veteran myself, I deeply appreciated that one of my own carried it proudly-- and I wanted to do the same!🤗
I never thought that you could put a backpack in the tub (or a large Rubbermaid Bin) and wash it this way-- most especially the zippers-- and with a toothbrush! Who knew🤔
I'm excited to get started!
That's amazing. Great addition to your collection and good idea to clean it and give it some more use
Great tutorial! I needed to clean my Quicksilver “Daddy” Day Bag and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏼!
Thanks so much for doing this video, I went to shop and got some baby shampoo and cleaned some tea stain on my backpack great info... Brilliant
That's great. I'm happy to hear that this video helped you
Great tutorial - only (for your commenters / viewers)... NEVER use the 'rough' side of the sponge.
That is an abrasive, like sandpaper.. Or a cutoff disc for your angle grinder.
It wears out, while it wears away the material you're scrubbing...
(So that WILL damage the fabric or coating you 're desperately trying to preserve by using baby shampoo)
A nylon brush (like a toothbrush, as suggested in the video) is a great way to agitate dirt, without destroying what's underneath the dirt.
Hope that helped anyone / prevented any mishaps ;)
Good video, btw.
Nicely shot and good informational content.
Thanks for the tutorial :)
Very good point. Thanks 👍
Thanks Bo, Ive been waiting for this video. Good job!
I'm glad that you like the video. Cheers, mate 😉 ✌️
Never heard about waterproof spray.... Great advice Bo!
Waterproofing spray is awesome. You can also get it at shoe stores
additionally, if you're exceptionally poor, you can take a bunch of cheap candles and scrub down clothing or bags with them. the wax has a mild water resistance.
Thank you man, followed your instructions, waiting for the result
And yes, tutorial videos are dope
This video helps me :> Thanks, I will look forward to other videos
Thank you for the great tips. Very useful.
Thanks Bo, I think it's the 3rd time seeing this video. I watched it in 2019 and I'm replaying it now to make sure I haven't forgotten anything😅
Thanks, Robson ✌️😊
Thank you ^^ my dogs for lots of mud on my backpack before school
This is such a great and helpful video. Thank you so much for this. :)
Thanks for watching, Jenn. I'm happy to know that this helped you!
I used your video as reference for cleaning my Herschel backpack and it looks so clean now. Thank you again!
I had a spilled science project so this helped a lot! Thank you
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching my video.
Good info brother. 👍
Great video!
thanks for shared !!
This was useful. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching 😉 ✌️
Great video, thank you
Thanks for watching, Kevin
Oohhh man, that intro was painful! But great video as always!!! Tutorials are always good! ... Bo! When's the video for the Black Ember Minimal coming? I'm torn between that one or the Prima System!!
Haha, thank you very much. I'm hoping that the Black Ember arrives soon. I'm still waiting for the final production unit.
Thanx for helpful tutorial!!!
Thanks for watching, Tatjana ;-)
Good Information!
Good video!
Ok got it, thanks.
very informative and useful... God Bless You...
Thank you very much 😉
Thank you for this
Thank you for watching 😉 ✌️
Another amazing video Bo! I’m just curious, how well did coating the CPL 24 in waterproofing spray work to prevent the collection of dust & hair on the fabric?
Thanks, Ryan! I'm still looking into it. For now it did help with antistatic.
I like the way of your explanation..
Thank you very much!
for me i use regular body soap to wash my back packs & sneaker..i also use a brush...i hang it up in my laundry room over night to dry ...
kntwing.23 how long does it actually take to dry I need my backpack by tomorrow
Nice looking backpack. I got a 5.11 bag that I love to use. The British army use it as part of their kit. My last one lasted 4 years and that is everyday use.
I just washed my old bag in the shower. I look forward to seeing how it looks when it's dry.
Cool, let me know how it turned out. The Rush12 is still one of my favorite bags.
I got the Rush 24, I've had two goes at it and it is cleaner. But I'm thinking of putting it in the washing machine
as it is dispensable after all. Your backpack is much easier to clean due to its more simplistic design.
One problem with the 5.11 backpack is that as it has so many different compartments it is really easy to lose stuff in it. You think you've lost something but it's there hidden away in your bag all the time. Oh, and I've got two other more conventional rucksacks but I never use them as I much prefer my army bag.
Yeah, all the molle can make washing pretty difficult.
coming home from a 3 week hiking trip, this will be VERY usefull to clean my smelly dirty bag 😀
i just put my Pacsafe through a gentle cycle in my washing machine last night,and a spin in the dryer.Bit rough but it worked.
Hey Andy.
Of course physically speaking this is possible. But keep in mind that some materials might wrinkle if you do it that way. And ironing a backpack is not possible. And worse case scenario is that you damage the materials. Furthermore some washing mashines might not be big enough to accomodate a bag without you needing to compress the bag. Therefore my advice would be to always hand wash your bags (especially if it is an expensive one like the CPL24)
Great review. Would the water proof spray work okay on 5.11 rush packs?
Thank you sooo much! If it weren’t for your video my supreme backpack would have been ruined right now 😬
I'm happy to hear that my video helped you!
Bo, can you do a video of your Palladium boots, please? Thanks!
Great video. I’d love to see more tutorials on the channel. Maybe one about packing: I’m sure after trying so many different bags you’ve accumulated little tips about what type of things to pack in what type of pockets, and in what order, etc.
Thanks, James. That's a good idea. But since I am changing bags a lot, I usually stick to my pouches and modular packing style. Have you seen the pouches video?
Bo Ismono I’ll check that one out.
Cool. Let me know if you have any more questions 😉 ✌️
Good job👍🏻
Thanks ✌️😉
Anyway, I've bunged both my backpacks in the washing machine. (My newer bag on a 3hr cycle using persil liquid)
and they've come out unscathed. My newer bag was really grimy, and smelt bad, and I had to give it a couple more scrubbings with a washing up pad.
But now, I've got two identical 5.11 bags that look pukka. I'm now using the older one and getting more use out of it.
Wow this is crazy this video drop with perfect time as I need to clean my Aer bag, thanks! By any chance were you going to do a review on the Cycop Daypac by any chance or was it that bad? Lol
Hey mate!
I'm glad that you like the video. Let me know after you washed your AER. Maybe you can post before and after pictures on instagram ;-)
I'm currently filming the Cycop Daypac video. It's not a bad bag, it's just too over engineered which made me not enjoying using the bag.
Hey friend, tnx for a great video!
Do you think it will be good to make this washing method for hiking “Gregory triconi 60 L”
Because I had this bag for like 8 years and the outside is dusty and inside a little sticky..
And I don’t want to destroy the coating..
Tnx again hope I’ll get some answers
🙏🏻❤️
Hi! I have a bobby anti-theft backpack with so much leather on it. Do this method applies the same to my bag? Can you wash or soak leather to water? Please help, my bag is real dirty now. Thank you!
My backpack from Walmart
It ain't delicate
Same
Tea correct, it’s a piece of shit that will fall apart.
Great vid
Thanks, Carlos.
nice Palladium....
Zipper lube! Wow! Learned something new.
THanks, Keren. I'm glad that you found it helpful!
helpful..
Great video :) I always get white scuff marks on my dark backpacks. Do you have any tips to remove them?
I dragged my Minaal through a jungle on a two day trek so need this in my life 😂
Wow, that is pretty impressive!
thx for this video! are alcohol wipes safe for cleaning bags?
Bo, I have a new bag recommendation, I've already bought it. It's the Topo Design Mountain Pack. It's a great durable pack that has both a top loading design and a zippered access pouch. I sold my heimplanet arc (hate that bag for holding a lot of things) and got this beauty. My favorite part is the bottle holder that holds my 40oz bottle.
Thanks, mate. Topo Design has been on my wishlist for a while.
Bo Ismono could you ask for the topo rover pack as well? I think they let you contact them if you're an endorser and send you free review units. I would assume it's even better if you're a backpack review channel.
i came here because i have a hatsune miku backpack and i needed help tbh thank youuuu
great video
Thanks, Rui. 😉✌️
Hello Will this work for aer sling bags?
Great content! You mentioned that the waterproofing spray has anti-static properties. Have you noticed any real difference in the amount of dog hair and dust that the cpl24 material picks up after applying the spray?
I really like this backpack, but the material picking up dust is a deal breaker for me. But if there's a solution then I'd be much more inclined to buy this bag.
Thanks! Love your work!
Tha nks, Evan. It does help a bit. But I have two dogs, it does still pick up a lot of their hair. But what I found is, that with the spray it is easier to get the hair of the bag.
Definitely deserves more subs. Quick question, have you reviewed the Riutbag R15.3? Its anti theft similar to the XD Bobby and Clickpack Pro. If you haven't any chance on a review of that?
Thank you very much. I have seen lots of ads for the Riut. It does look interesting, but I haven't had the chance to test one yet.
Well if you ever do test it, I'll be looking forward to the video! Keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching my videos 😉 ✌️
The fact that a rubber ducky was watching Bo shower the backpack was 👌👌👌
😂 😂 😂
Greetings.
Can you give me link to lubricant and waterproof spray ?
I like this tutorial.👍
Hi Bo, I remember you mentioned in your review it is a dust and pet hair magnet.
How is your long(er) term experience with the bag and being a dust and hair magnet? did the anti static work with the CPL24?
That is correct. It does attract a lot of dog hair. I believe it is due to the silicone coating of the bag. But it is something I got used to over time. And the bag is fairly easy to clean as you can see in the video. It does look even better than before haha
I have treated it with the spray and for now it does attract less dog hair, but due to the deep black color dust or dirt is still easily visible when you stand it on a dirty ground for instance.
Link to that super cool looking sponge?
awesome content..I never thought of washing my back pack but now bit intrigued as your bag looks brand new after the clean up..
oh and I do have an idea for a vedio... since you have reviewed so many bags and used most of the bags first hand so conceptualise and build your Dream backpack or carry-on, just a good travel bag.. what sort of functionality would you look for in a bag which bag that you have reviewed, can most closely represent or check the most boxes of your desired features.. cheers
Thanks, mate. That is a very good video idea. And I have been thinking about that idea for a while. But it is not a very easy question to answer. There are so many good bags to get ideas from, but if you actually qould cram all those features and designs into one bag, that would be an abomination haha
Who makes your Jacket? it is AWESOME!
It was bought from Eva Minge
Does this work with bad stains on my roller backpack?
Hi what lapel mic are you using?
can lubricant make the dust stick ？
6 Oct 23, Friday
Bo, can I use pure Castille Lavendar or Peppermint soap, in place of the baby shampoo?
I'm allergic to the SLS,
(Sodium Laural Sulfates)
in regular soaps or shampoos.
That's a good question. I speculate that this should not attack the fabric. I mentioned baby soap because something "harsh" like dish soap can more easily discolor your fabrics. But if it is anti allergic soap for your body I recon it should not damage the fabric. It's just important to relubricate the zippers afterwards
How would you clean a peloton asphalt backpack
Wait will this help with the smell I left fruit in my bad:(
bag maintenance and simple repairs would be a nice subject matter
My backpack has leather on it, how would you protect it from water?
Hello, does this also work on a herschel little america bag?
Hello Daayn,
I have never tested a Hershel bag before, so I don't know what kind of material they use. But baby shampoo is very mild and should not harm any material. But I would still check Hershel's website to see how they suggest to clean their bags.
Can i not just put it in the washing machine if its like midly dirty
Please make vedio on Metallurgy

Bo Ismono
Evergoods CPL24. OR GR1 ? Whats yout fav?
Both bags are awesome. It depends on the use case: If you plan on using the bag a lot for work or in the city, then I would go with the CPL24. But if you don't mind the military look AND you want to mod the bag with pouches etc. then the GR1 is the better choice.
I need help, how do I wash a backpack that has a usb cable ? Please I need help
I have 4 nike and addidas lunch bags n I put em in the washer n it didn't help much lol can I clean em the same way u did the backpack ?!
It really depends on how much and what kind of dirt is in / on the bag. It sounds like the bags are very difficult to clean, theferfore I don't know if my method will work for you
Wait is this stuff real because I'm having second thoughts because there is makeup stains on my bag and I'm lost so help please 😭
How about pacsafe? Will the wire get any rust?
I had my pacsafe three years back. I just throw it into the washing machine with some detergent spin to gentle for only five minutes then take it out rinse then spin dry it for two minutes. I am still using it still good as new. Not sure about the RFID thingy not working anymore some sort. But this is too much labor work for me. I thought we have evolved?
Need help on how to clean my bag, my backpack has usb and headset ports and I don't think it is waterproof.
That's difficult to answer. With cables and electronics I would recommend to contact the bag's manufacturer
@@Youknowthebo HAHA I washed my bag like any ordinary backpack (soaked in detergent and washed), and the ports were fine, no rusts, and it still even worked (i tried plugging in my phone in the usb port with the power bank inside the bag as the power source, no issues with charging). Although, I did try using blowdry at both ends of the wire (the usb port and the 3.5mm audio jack outside the bag, and the USB and 3.5mm AUX plug inside.)
Could I use a car shampoo?
Only soap I have is dawn dish soap
whats the song in the beginning of the video?
Hey Matthias. I get all my songs from epidemic sounds, because I need the rights for all my videos. Not sure of the name of the song at the moment. But I will check
I was trying to make a TikTok and accidentally knocked my grape juice off my shelf..
Hello, does this also work on nike air max vapor backpack?
I clicked on this SO FAST lol
Thanks, mate!
Thanks for the tips! BTW, I just copied you and got that yellow North Face duffel hahaha
Awesome. That yellow duffel is great. You can always see it on the luggage belt at the airport
Make video on cleaning a literal camera bag
Thank you fam
Thank you for watching 😉 ✌️
@boismono hey bo, how hope you can make a video how to clean the house, different parts and your routine where you put your clothes coming from a trip outside. There are alot of guys who live alone that dont know how to do these things. You will help a lot by doing it.
How do you get ink stains out of backpack?
Good question. It depends on the kind of ink. In germany there are special ink remover soaps, but I'm not sure how well they work
try hydrogen peroxide but test it first in on the inside for colorfastness
at first i thought this was an add:)
I hope you liked the video in the end 😉
A review between KP Zero G and DayFarer???
Hey Calvin,
I don't have the KP Zero unfortunately :-(
Bo Ismono Aiya, but based on other people's reviews on youtube like Flossy Carter. Would you recommend to have a KP Zero G or a Dayfarer??
I haven't seen any other reviews yet. I will watch some of the Kp as soon as I can
how can you wash it in the washer ?
Hey Ciara.
I personally would not recommend to wash a backpack in the washingmashine. Depending on the fabric, how the fabric might have been treated and the quality of zippers, you potentially could damage something
Bo Ismono i washed my all black jansport backpacks and it came out perfectly.
Some people at school threw my bag in mud and now it looks so gross
