I'm a huge fan of Bellroy. It was my first brand of bag that I really spent some money on and I have not regretted it. I love the company and their products and materials are worth it. No one does stretchy mesh as good as Bellroy. I have a few of their products; backpacks, slings, crossbody and I will continue to buy from them. Thank you for the great review!!!
I am soooooo with you on the feel of the fabric and the zipper tracks. My neurospicy butt looooooves the different textures to just mess with. Don't have this bag, but have a sling with the same materials. ❤
Hey Clint awesome stuff, watched so much and added the Oculus (sp?) On your recommendation. Going to do a 5.11-A-Palooza here soon comparing a bunch of stuff that hasn't been compared. Keep up the great work buddy!!
hey, good review! by the way, the audio on your overhead camera (#2) is really different than your primary. Your primary is much much better audio. Just a suggestion to either get a second mic or swap your mic over to your second camera when you use it (or record externally and just sync it to audio recorded on the cam #2) - I think that will serve your channel much better!
Nice review thanks again. This looks like a good choice to go with more formal work wears. The thin straps and back system however doesn't look too comfy nor enough ventilation in warmer climates. Do you think it'll fit a macbook 16? Agreed with you if it's meant to flop open in half, it should stand on its own.
The sleeve is advertised as a 16" sleeve so I'd say that you'd have no issues. Bellroy knows how popular macbooks are. Only issue might be if it's in a case/cover.
This Monday it will arrive from Amazon for a very good price (165 euros). I only have one problem that I can't stop thinking about... I am a woman and I wouldn't like to have a backpack that looks like a man. Do you think it will be good for women or will it definitely be too masculine? 😅 Thanks for your time. ❤
Hey, very nice review! Been looking at this bag for a while and haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Is there a bag you would recommend for my use case? My use is light to moderate hiking with photography, and airplane carry-on (aside from the roller that you check in). I don’t mind spending good $$$ as long is it well made. My main priority is comfort, and durability specially when hiking. My top two have been mystery ranch urban assault 21 and this Bellroy. Any insight and/or advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you
@@ThePerfectBag largest laptop I own is dell 15 inch. Don’t carry it with me much when traveling (normally have a 11 inch iPad) and leave laptop at home.
You could - but really it would be replacing the zipper pulls with something slashproof or cut resistant and then locking those pulls - this bag isn’t really set up for massive theft proofing, but you could make it a little more difficult for thieves, yes.

@@ThePerfectBag mostly looking for ways that people won't access the bag quickly. True anti theft needs more, like the pacsafe bags. The item you've linked to will work nicely for my purpose. I think it's a bit more practical in use than a lock. And noise will always deter 😅😅 The small dog cannot be too friendly though 😂
Love your video. I have one question. If the backpack is not fully packed, is it possible to reduce it to personal item dimensions for the budget airline? The backpack (fully packed) measures 50x33x19cm according to the website. Ryanair in Europe allows dimensions of 40x25x20cm (+ a small tolerance). Is it possible to get the backpack down to this size when it is not fully packed or is the material too stiff? :)
Ok - I just went and took everything out and then measured the bag. The dimensions of this bag with almost nothing in it are as follows: 23 inches by 13 inches x 5 inches. The stiff back panel doesn’t allow it to collapse beyond that.
I would rate this as a significant upgrade over that pack. The only thing that would make me choose that pack over this is if I wanted a very slim profile. I like this one more.
Hey Clint! Thank you so much for the great review! I found your channel today, searching for a new Bag. What I am really looking for is a bag that will hold a pair of Nalgene 32oz bottles in outside pockets. Do you have a recommendation for one? Would this one hold at least one of that size? Thanks! I subscribed to your channel!

You’re welcome! Thx for watching and I agree on the materials - just feels good
Great dad bag , holds 5 year olds goodies and mom and dads goodies on outings to the zoo or museums
Really nice material on this bag for sure too.
Love the exterior materials on this bag as well (and the whole Venture series). Great review dude!
Big fan of your page as well Aaron!

Hey, what brand tech pouch was that in this video?
Alpaka
This bag checks a lot of boxes, just wish it stood up on its own.
Indeed! But man it is nice

This will 100% be fine for you. Not overly masculine

Laptop?
@@ThePerfectBag largest laptop I own is dell 15 inch. Don’t carry it with me much when traveling (normally have a 11 inch iPad) and leave laptop at home.
What are the theft deterrent possibilities of the bag? Can I lock it or hook zippers together to make it a bit more difficult to get inside?
You could - but really it would be replacing the zipper pulls with something slashproof or cut resistant and then locking those pulls - this bag isn’t really set up for massive theft proofing, but you could make it a little more difficult for thieves, yes.

Additionally, you could carry a small angry dog in the bag….it’s plenty big for a small dog. That would work as well.

how deep inches wise is the quick access pocket and side inside pocket. Want to see if it fits 6.7+ inch smartphones
Is that about an iphone pro max size?
@@ThePerfectBag seeing that smart phones keep getting bigger, is there enough room for it to zip or is it really tight?
Ok - I just double checked - I can fit the an iphone 14 pro max in both the top section and the side with room to spare and no tightness at all
oh my i didn't realize you changed your channel name. I'll miss the "what's up wanderers!"
I know! But I had to change to grow! So many folks didn’t know what EDC is - and what wander was referring to :) but I will miss it too
can you recommend other bags similar to bellroy ? Very lightweight , i'm looking for a travel backpack that weighs less than 3 lbs.
Have you checked out the Ultra Dragonfly from ULA Equipment? I have a review coming soon on it.
TY!! @@ThePerfectBag

@@ThePerfectBag Wow, thank you very much for the very quick answer and your effort. It really helped me a lot.
Have you been able to test this bag for its level of water resistance? I'm wondering how it will hold up when caught in the rain.
No! Sorry to say that I tested it only in summer sunshine
Nice review. How do you like this pack compared to the modern dayfarer v2 pack?
I would rate this as a significant upgrade over that pack. The only thing that would make me choose that pack over this is if I wanted a very slim profile. I like this one more.
@@ThePerfectBag ok thanks for the advice.

Welcome! Ok - so you need GIANT water bottle pockets on both sides. Let me think for a few minutes

Been eyeing this bag for a while. Does it feel like a full 26L? I’ve heard some others mention it feels closer to 22L like their other venture pack.
Well. I haven’t tested the other yet - but I didn’t find myself hurting for space
@@ThePerfectBag❤
totally worth it! You wouldn't regret buying it
I have this pack and it definitely is a generous 26L, personally feels closer to 22L for me
