They now have more color options and the new corduras

It would be cool if you showed the bag during this video.

good vid man, your cool

False bottom in the laptop compartment?

What makes that one pocket more “quick access” than the other pocket?

Would 2 small AER packing cubes and 1 AER large packing cubes fit together in the city pack pro?

Hey there! Thanks for the review, love the style and flair you showed with this wallet compared to other reviews if that makes sense haha. I was wondering, are you still carrying this wallet? And has the open and close clasp ever come loose by itself?

Finally an ILE default video. Thanks for the review mate, nice job.

I own a ton of bags (I’m an addict) and watch bag reviews almost as much as the NFL but I have to tell you, this is one of the most genuine, comprehensive reviews of a bag I’ve seen. I bought this bag late last week, expect it this week, and am looking forward to it even more after your review. Really good review, thank you!

Once you go that tiny on an EDC blade 99% of users would be better served with a minimalist folding utility knife. The convenience of installing a 25cent replacment razor blade every few weeks is reason alone since most people either dont have the skills or equipment to resharpen a dull knife.

I use field notes to jot things down. If the notes are important I take a picture or scan them with my phone and save them digitally.

Congratulations! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Great bag.. good review.. how’s the comfort level wearing it all day

So great finally to see a review of the Default 25L!!! I had one for a long time in the Blackout Patchwork colorway, which is gorgeous. A few things. I do think the main flap is a bit too narrow, but after you have the pack for a while, you'll learn that you can bend those too big stow pockets toward the center, meaning that the flap has better coverage because more of those pockets are under it. But still, not optimal. The area behind the stow pockets is the *official* laptop space. Very big, but because of the possibility of water getting in, I put a small drybag over my laptop when it is in there. TOTALLY agree on the bottom pocket: a little more volume and it would've been SO useful. As is, it's barely capable of fitting my wallet, phone, and passport. One thing you didn't like about the pack is a reason many folks buy it: the lack of other entrance points into the main compartment. This is one of the very EDC-like packs out there with a totally waterproof--not water resistant--main compartment. There's not a seam or stitch or zipper to let water into that compartment. Even Mission Workshop uses seams on their main compartment. So if you add another access point, there goes the waterproof feature, which is one reason I bought it. I, too, wish there were a frame, but I found it comfortable. I did end up figuring out that the straps weren't the best shape for my body when I was carrying 25lbs or more in the pack, so I eventually sold it. But it's a really well built, unique pack, especially if you want something that's nearly a dry bag in terms of being waterproof while also having a good amount of quick-access features. Great review!!! PS--ILE is one of the few companies, like Goruck, that will honor the warranty of their packs whether you're the original owner or the 20th owner. I love that about them. As long as they recognize the pack as theirs, they'll take care of you. Speaks volumes to how confident they are in their products.

Pretty nice bag, not quite my style and a rolltop without a secondary access into the main compartment is something I can't get used to but ILE has some very good bags. I have an Apex Mini and Radius Mini from ILE and really like both of them. Both are very well made und super comfortable. I got the Apex Mini because its very light (about 500g I think) and quite packable so it can easily fit in my luggage or even a backpack (e.g. fits well into a Bellroy Apex when folded in half). Perfect daypack on trips, even fits my 14" laptop quite well.

Come through, rebrand! Awesome video! ILE isn’t exactly my vibe but I know they’re well loved by carry nerds. Keep it up!

I got the slim bag. Sturdy. A little heavy at times but well built.

Didn’t know this is a Chinese company. Not sure it matters too much but wish I had known.

Awesome!

Congrats the place is fire!

Congratulations on the milestone! I hope you get it looking the way you want soon and cant wait tonsee the next video!

Awesome! Super cool! Don't be afraid of microwave meals and oven pizza while you learn the ropes of cooking. My sister was an annoying about it but you gotta eat. Also look into casseroles great way to meal prep! Can't wait for the rebrand.

congratulations!

Congrats! Always cool to see people’s genuine reactions to hitting their goals. Keep up the good work

Very useful to see that Bigidesign seem to have upgraded the pocket clips across their whole lineup. The new ones are beefier and CNC machined.

Titanium flashlights are dumb. They get very hot, very quickly. I know this because that's the keychain flashlight I carry. It's great for short durations, but if you use it on high for long periods, the end gets very hot.

The intro is everything, loved the text effects you used too WOW

I don’t know how many videos like this one I’ve seen , and this is exactly the one I needed to satisfy that need 😂 Thanks, amazing content!!

10/10 video. 5/10 audio.

Is this backpack 17l or 22l? thanks Look like 22l

This makes me want to buy onre but im not sure about the 500D cordura i have two other very expensive bsgs with 500D cordura and on both of those the class 10 YKK zippers tore right threw the cordura. Bothe are vanwuest backpacks the trident 32 and the Ibex 35.

For anyone traveling AND staying at a hotel: Instead of taking a Roku (I use one at home), consider taking an Amazon Fire Stick instead if you'll be at a hotel. Why? For most hotel WiFi networks (definitely Hyatt and Hilton), they'll make you "sign in" through a web interface in order to activate WiFi on your device. If you've "signed in" for WiFi at a Starbucks, you'll understand. Roku's devices (to my knowledge) do not have a way to display the web interface in order to sign in. But the Amazon Fire Stick will display the WiFi web interface for you to use. You'll use the remote's directional keys to skip to the username and pw textboxes, and then you'll be joined to their network. Without that web interface coming up, you won't be able to join most of your portable streaming devices to the hotel network. I do realize that things change and perhaps newer versions of other devices might include this in the future - but for now, the Amazon Fire Stick will get you connected.

I think this is such a cool design, but what kills it for me is they made a click pin that doesn’t make a click sound! If it was actually clicky, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Smoke effects were cool, awesome review thank you!

What is the model of the Knife at time 0:35 of the video?

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

Kings loop or this

Do you know what color you opted for??

Refreshing to see a EDC that is not a bunch of blades and tools like I'm a mechanic.

Nice video! What is the interior dimension of the main compartment ? It seems pretty small… Thanks!

I prefer the inateck pouch. Love how that opens up like an origami and it's also roughly half the price too. I just bought one on prime day for £25, whereas this bellroy pouch with less compartments is for £55. Bellroy does over price a lot of it's stuff. Tomtoc is another great budget tech pouch and that company does a lot of stuff on a much more affordable price range

15:14 great video. Assuming the webbing of CPP is the same as Aer TP3 small, I am not worry at all because I am currently using Aer TP3 small for a year as my daily driver with average loads of around 7kg to 8kg and the backpack hold quiet well thus far.

Owner of classic medium briefcase in tobacco since 2014 and been eyeing flight bag also in tobacco..is this feel big for everyday carry?

You should try the rustic heirloom hitchhiker wallet

There is a second hidden pocket in the foam compartment behind the laptop pocket. Its even harder to find.

It has a collar so "fancy shirt" lol j/k good vid. Thanks. Big GORUCK fan.

I can provide you

❤❤

With the vertical front pocket I feel like if they had done it more closely like the CPL24, it would have been much better. For example the slip and zip pockets in there are too deep - they go all the way to the other side of the bag. If they had stitched them a bit closer to the zipper then they'd do a better job of controlling smaller items and preventing them from falling to the bottom. I also found that when the main compartment was fully packed, it created a kind of curve at the front so any smaller items that were loose (including keys on the key leash) would get trapped on the far side of that vertical pocket area, making them harder to retrieve. The front of the CPL is much flatter, so this doesn't tend to happen on that bag. Still, those are just minor tweaks I would make to the Daily Plus and I think it's a phenomenal bag. I prefer the aesthetics and feel of the CHZ22, so I ultimately chose that over the Able Carry. But definitely interested to see what AC comes out with next (it's been a while methinks!)

The 3 main negatives are a major detractor imo
