Hey thanks! Appreciate you!
Oh damn!!!! My Northseeker 25L in VX42 just arrived. I’m in love!
Such a fun bag to use
@@ThePerfectBag Also, my 32oz Owala water bottle goes into the water bottle pockets right away! I would easily take this bag over my Alpaka, Bellroy, or Evergoods EDC bags. My Tom Bihn is another story, lol.
The 25L bag looks gorgeous! Love the colour and material. I have a rainmaker...after watching this video I'm really tempted to get the 25L Northseeker...🤔😁
I agree with you on the recommendation of the 21L vs the 25L. I just got my Northseeker 21L and I find the water bottle pocket just a tad snug for my water bottle which is 24oz/ 3in diameter. It still fits, just really snug. On the other hand, I guess it's less likely to fall out unexpectedly! Very happy with my purchase. Even got the random knick knacks - they are superb for their price.
The random Knick knacks are the bargain of the century for sure. Did you do cordura or xpac?
I might actually still crave the 20L version honestly -- I don't carry a laptop these days, tend to keep my water bottles on the smaller side (my Nalgene 400ml bottle fits this pack's side pockets perfectly), and pack light, so I don't know that I need the extra 5 liters. If I get a laptop any time in the future maybe I can justify a large-size Rainmaker
The 25L will becone their bestseller!
gonna use the 25 liter as my EDC trek in nepal.
Oh man - adventure of a lifetime
Klint, you recall the $9 bag from Amazon that you reviewed about a year ago? It had a blue interior and a lot of interior pockets. Anyway, it had the front admin side just like this one…on the front flap. At the time, you were amazed that they would put the admin panel on the front flap instead of on the interior “side.” I bought that $9 bag and love it for travel. But I’ve noticed a lot more of the companies placing the admin panel on the front fold down flap. Makes you go “hmmm”!
I totally remember that $9 bag! Maybe the most ‘bag for the money’ that I’ve ever purchased! I wondered if anyone else picked that one up!
@@ThePerfectBagit’s still $9 and available!
@@excaliburdg1762What is it called?
@@excaliburdg1762 name of the bag ?
Thank you for the ruler, I wish more reviews would give internal measurements.
You’re welcome - I think it was really important in this video to illustrate where the difference actually lies for these two bags
Nowadays, a 20-liter bag is considered large, and even a 15-liter one is sizable. It seems most buyers are interested in bags that are 15 liters or smaller, like the Alpaka Metro or Able Carry 13-liter. This trend is likely because devices are becoming more compact. While there are many options available in the 20-liter size, smaller bags of 15 liters and less are fewer but are capturing a significant market share.
Agreed on that trend
Hi Clint.. Nice comparison video between the Northseeker 20 & 25L. 👍🏻😊 Most probably I go for the 25L EPX400 under the wild card customization. 🤩 A query regarding the bookpouch I would like to check with you... I also watch your video on the 20L Grey Northseeker and the bookpouch.. What is the size of the bookpouch? Can the whole bookpouch fit into the admin section that have many organization pockets at the front with the top access zippers?🤔🧐 Cuz I would like my electronics gadgets and devices to be hold separately from the main compartment pack with clothes and whatever I need but I don't want it to be seen...🤗🤫 the top quick access zippers to the main compartment I would most probably convert it to the sunglass compartment via the wild card customization options. 😂😎
You get multiple size choices for the book pouch. I will check mine to see if it fits in the admin section. You might want a rainmaker with completely separate tech section
@@ThePerfectBag I already own 4 rainmaker. Just need something more simple and smaller.. This Northseeker seems Just What i needed. From What i see from your video and the greenroom136 website description of the measurement.. It fits in the admin section.. Wondering will it be real tight.
SORRY for the delay. The Smaller bookpouch DOES fit with no problems in the admin section up front. Not very tight, but might get tight if your laptop is bulky.
No pro.. thkz😊👍
Just received my 25L Customized Northseeker in EX 400.. It's gorgeous ❤ 😊
You love your pull taps! Haha
Oh man, I’d love one. But not in the budget anymore. Can’t buy anything new unless I sell something else I own.
weird question who makes that tropical camo bag at the bottom left corner of the video?
Klint i really want the genidus was wondering if you had a review on that pack i lookedbon your play luists coukdnt find it i think i would be really hapoy with that bag.
Don’t have one yet!
Hey Klint. I keep going back and forth trying to figure out whether to get the 20L or 25L of this bag. After looking at a lot of different reviews, it seems that the Bookpouch eats into the 20L main compartment quite a lot. I am starting to lean towards the 25L. But I'm a pretty short guy, and I'm worried it'd look too boxy/awkward on my back given how far out the profile protrudes. I saw that the Wildcard edition has compression strap add-ons, but I'm not sure I want the zippers obstructed all the time. I wondered if there's any slack to it when it's not fully packed out, so it doesn't look as big. I don't remember if I mentioned in a previous comment, but this would mostly be for EDC, though I'd also use it as a carry-on for long trips and a travel bag for short-term trips. The larger capacity would help extend its use case, but I don't want it to get in the way of its main purpose as an EDC.
I'd appreciate to hear your thoughts. I want to take my time ordering, since I hope to make this my last bag purchase for awhile, and there's so much to take into consideration. This could be the bag to end all bags for me, knowing GR136's quality.
what size laptop are you carrying?
@@ThePerfectBag a 15 inch, so I'd be getting the large Bookpouch
Oh man - the 25L bag looks perfect for me in every way... except that laptop access. I would definitely have preferred something separate from the main compartment with its own pocket.
How do you find the access with the bookbag? Do you have to take it out, unzip the bookbag, get your device, and slip back in, or is there an easier way to do it more quickly as if there were a separate compartment?
There’s a quick access zipper on the top of the bag behind the handle
This might be the perfect edc bag if they had done a side access separate laptop sleeve
@@ThePerfectBag I had a backpack with a side access pocket. Issue was, if I didn't zip it 100% up, the zipper would slowly fall down. On my way to the airport in an Uber, my laptop and tablet fell out and I didn't realize it til I got through TSA. The Uber driver was awesome and came back to give me my laptop/tablet. So, I purchased the AER City Pack Pro since it has a top access laptop compartment. I really like the bag but the plastic ladders that the straps go through dig into my ribs so I need to keep the bag lower on my back than I'd like. Otherwise, it's a great backpack for my needs. Curious why you prefer the side access laptop sleeve. Thanks as always for making your videos!
YIKES!
@@tmac2705
Good info, thanks for the video! With that said, if I were undecided between the Northseeker 20L & the Alpha One Niner Whitley 20L, which would you recommend?
I’ve used both extensively. The Whitley feels more formal. The Northseeker feels more fun. How can I explain this? The Whitley is precise, it’s exact. It’s a great bomber jacket with all the details just right and it fits you perfectly. The Northseeker is a big hoodie. So…The Whitley is probably better and nicer, but I like the Northseeker a lot more. It’s roomier, more fun, and less directive in how to use each pocket and area.
@@ThePerfectBag Dude, thank you so much not just for the reply, but the great clothing analogy to help me get a sense of how the bag's design affects the ways you use/interact with it. I very much appreciate it! The Whitley was on my top "bags to get list", but I might have to reconsider the Northseeker.🖖
For the 20L, does a camelbak chute 20oz fit into the side pockets? 24 x 9.5 x 7 cm. It might be a close call.Last night i remember seeing someone (forgot if it was you) struggling to fit a similar camelbak bottle in, but theirs ( 750ml according to them) converts to 25oz so ours might be a bit different.
I don't have that specific bottle, but I think it might be a little tight based on dimensions...sorry I don't have that one to test for you!
Where do I buy the 25L???? I can’t figure this out? Help
Go to green room 136 and click on any of the North secret colors and then there's a drop-down menu for 20 or 25 L. It's the first menu option.

And remember that those prices are in Malaysian and not US dollars so don't get sticker shock
Great video as always! In regarding the material, which material is more flexible and malleable? I see you preferred the Cordura overall but seen claims it gets dirtier easier and it’s harder to clean etc? Any help would be great! Thanks
I’d say the cordura feels more flexible to me but the xpac will 100% be easier to clean
Hey Clint do you have a list of the bags on your wall? If too much trouble no worries I mainly want to know what the three white bags are ?
Aer Tokai City Pack (carryology collab), Bravo Co Worldwide Foxtrot Block IV Alpine Camo, Dakine Wrkshp Structure 23L
@@ThePerfectBag thanks man I appreciate it 👍
What is that white xpac bag behind you?
Aer City Pack - Carryology Tokai Collaboration version
@@ThePerfectBag thanks!
Hey crazy question - does that bookpouch fit in the admin section???
I will check
Ok the surprising answer is yes - it does with no problem
@ThePerfectBag cool!. Normally you'd like your heavy laptop close to the body for weight distribution, but I like the idea of keeping all the tech stuff separate from main compartment.
Thanks for checking!
Do you prefer this or the rainmaker?
I prefer this for daily carry and the rainmaker for weekends or multiple days. This is just such a good size. BUT>>>>I love the laptop sleeve on the rainmaker…and I love the custom options. One day maybe we’ll get this in the Wildcard customized.
I’m debating on the rainmaker 27l vs this northseeker 25l. I am hard on equipment. What are your thoughts? Which one do you guys like better?
If you prefer more minimal organization - go with Northseeker - if you want a lot of pockets and don’t mind the pack being deeper, go rainmaker. Both great bags!
First. 😅
The rising sun esque stormtrooper patch is offensive. Especially so given that the bag is from Malaysia, with a history of Japanese occupation.
I had no idea! I will remove it. Thank you for educating me
I hadn’t thought of that either.
