My hopes are high on you having an episode with Jack and Kevin from Evergoods. Can easily go over 2 hours just talking about Kevin's design choices.
my dream as well, hoping to get a few more awesome guests lined up after the Fyro launch settles down
Thisssss 💯
dude you are killing it with these podcasts! and Bo makes a great guest / 'co-host' (not formally but you know what I mean)
thanks so much! And yea, he's the best
You're doing awesome stuff with this podcast, it's a great way to expand the channel. (Awesome to see you interacting with people as well as bags!)
Can't wait to see who else you get on!
Shooting a very big episode tomorrow (hint; it features a prominent bag reviewer we haven’t had on the pod before)
Awesome episode. I really have noticed all their newer products are finally including a luggage passthrough such as the Via Workpack (Review plsssss)
Hopefully soon!
What a great interview! Good questions from you and Bo and really cool to hear about the Bellroy mission and culture from the insiders.
I was the one who asked for the classic pouch plus to return. Sounds like I'm S.O.L on that, but thanks for bringing it up! I'll continue to enjoy my regular classic pouch and desk caddy. Or maybe a plus will appear on the NN marketplace!
Thanks dude! Hope you can find one on the NN Marketplace 💪🏻
Loving the consistency bro keep it up and appreciate your all of your hard work
Thanks! Will do!
Great podcast, Aaron. I'm kinda obsessed with Bellroy, even though I only have one of their bags so far.
I have a few more but we share the same obsession haha
Looking forward to the future design from BellRoy.
Hell yesss
This was awesome. Been really into Bellroy lately so this was cool to listen to
awesome!
This is the kind of content I use to expand my attention span. Awesome talk!...
Oh, and this made me think when James spoke about the "general purpose" of the Venture line layout: what about adding the ambidextrous use as a principle to the backpacks design? I found the addition of an external water pocket a win (coming from a Venture 22L)... but this made me lose the zippered quick access pocket for on-body use (I used to keep keys and wallet and earbuds there so I didn't need to lay the bag on the floor to get them. Now... I just cant.)
I guess that explains those bags with hybrid (zipper+expandable) water bottle pockets... so you can use them as both. Looking forward for the next iteration of the Venture line!
cheers!
Very veryyy interesting podcast. Very entertaining and informative. I’d love to see the bellroy boys back on again !
Thanks so much! We’ll be getting them on again for sure
Just watched it twice, sooo good Aaron. Love it. Next Kevin and Jake? ;-)
I’d love to! I’ll reach out to them
nice I dig bellroy a lot but other than textiles I feel like they don't do enough new interesting things. No new updates to core bags like the transit line and whatnot. I guess they sell so many nicknacks and doodads that everything takes nine years to transform or evolve.
Interesting take - so you really want official V2 versions of bags? Cuz they do updates but they are usually more subtle and not announced, the bags just quietly evolve
@@Nomads.Nation yeah, not sure I buy that it takes so long to update their family of bags for the reasons they provided. I think they're just happy milking what's there. I know it's the "iPhone" iterative approach but I'm sure they have way more than enough feedback to create true V2s and then begin iterating from that point. iPhone X style!
Love the podcast! Will it be released on any traditional podcast platforms? Would love to listen on the go!
hoping to get it on Spotify this week!
This was awesome!!! I really really hope you guys do some more of these with other makers. Aaron you should go knock on Able Carry’s door and get them on. And now that you started out with Bellroy, when trying to get other brands to say yes you can say hey Bellroy came on so you should too. lol and both of you should check out 1733, and DEFY too they are both out of chi town. Bo especially check out DEFY if you haven’t they ride motorcycles but are not like a full on moto brand. They make some amazing stuff.
Trying to get Able Carry on soon!
Awesome.
I find bellroy shoulder and back system the most comfortable and they fit my back really well.
For some reason big fluffy straps doesnt guarantee absolute comfort (as I experienced with able carry max, evergoods)
I agree, they are super comfortable. Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in those bigger straps. Bellroy Transit plus is totally underrated and very comfortable.
Part two baby !!!
Coming soon!
Niceeeee. Bellroy is the brand that got me into edc carry and my ocd with bright interior. oh, i hope Bellroy will make something and call it Bubu, i will buy it.
😂
Love Bellroy, they just "retired" the Apex yesterday, so likely a new product to replace the concept car bag???
hopefully!
Yeah, I like the new name Bellroy BUBU Case. 😂
I use my BUBU Case as a EDC hygiene set.😅
😝
Boklahomas BUBU Case
