Absolute Killer Urban EDC Backpack! - LiiGear X Nitecore BP18 (First Look!)

[@milosmitic4000]

My company just ordered flashlights, power banks and other products from Nitecore. I was in charge for deciding what products to order and videos like this helped me a lot. Keep up a good work and presentation of the products.

[@atamata237]

I always thought Nitecore was more mid quality , but I recently bought a few flashlights and two small bags from them, and for the price, quality is apsolutly AMAZING !!!

[@Youtiao86]

Plus 1 to this

[@avexperience3632]

My daily struggle with my backpack is basically the main pocket only opening half of the way and not having a way to organise, I even thought about hand sewing a molle panel or velcro inside to help with the organisation but I might get it done wrong and only make it worse, so a new backpack is the solution, and your wright, functionality is way better than looks!

[@wyattlavigne]

You consistently do the *BEST* product reviews on KZbin.

[@CheezusHGrist]

Reviewing his own company's product?

[@wyattlavigne]

@@CheezusHGrist yep. There are some other good/great reviewers out there, but who fail to *consistently* check all the boxes in highlighting what needs the product fills, what role it’ll fill in your life, how it does it better than what’s out there, the cons, who it’s for, etc. Moreover, his tonality, which basically lulls you into a trance and holds your attention is up there with the best. In addition, the lighting, which is very off standard, seems to work for some reason, too. About the only thing he doesn’t do quite as amazingly well is his editing.

[@CheezusHGrist]

@@wyattlavigne But it's his own product. It's not a review, it's an advertisement.

[@wyattlavigne]

@@CheezusHGrist advertisement, sure. Although, he is reviewing all the products his company puts out.

[@CheezusHGrist]

@@wyattlavigne I'm guessing he wouldn't be 100% transparent in any flaws or defects of a product though

[@Vtfilamguy]

Bought an MH10 V2 based on your review and I'll stick with Nitecore from now on. I'm always looking for a different way to carry my gear and this bag looks great. Thank you for another great presentation and a great opportunity.

[@WhaxxWhaxx]

ever since I started watching your reviews, I've come to love Nitecore products already and now running an MH12v2 and an NUP10 for EDC. This BP18 is definitely a better alternative to the usual college backpacks

[@insertnamehere1685]

This is so awesome! I didn't expect LiiGear to collab with Nitecore. An issue I face with backpacks is that some seem like they can carry enough but there always seems to be some little bit of extra space they need.

[@TheGaurangga]

If only inner material using bright color, that would be a perfect bag.

[@blacktortoise84]

Yes brooooo. I 1000000% agree

[@highlanderes]

Agree! Using bright pouches inside could help.

[@bobgox]

that is a beauty ! thanks for the great video, very helpful !!

[@kwjr.9569]

Definitely love your examples of functionalities. Especially with lights. Could be great commuting on my motorcycle or for biking.

[@zukskiok]

lots of my bag is sloppy. As a motorcyclist this happen when i sat on my bike..the base of the bag seem to touch the seat and elevated the bag making shoulder strap seem loose. i think this bp18 is looking promising. I'll consider buying if the price point is good.

[@lawrenceong8501]

Am using the Direct Action Dragon Egg Mk2. 25 liter. Its heavy when fully loaded. Would love to try this new Urban carry Nitecore.

[@Inspades101]

The biggest struggle I face with my current backpack has been the stiching that holds the straps breaking over time Nice videos 👍

[@gabrielletedara2662]

I've used it, it's great. For tactical simply functional, the double zip opening is time safer for me. That's why it's on my "Ready to go" gear.

[@trenadarren5375]

Currently using a Mil-Spec Mo*key back pack, very messy set up, no way of sorting at all. Backing has no ventilation, especially for our climate in Singapore. Always have a wet back after carrying my current back pack. This BP18, with ways to sort and ventilation back will be very good.

[@malcolmdiniz3631]

Awesome features tbh...... love the internal velcro lining for mounting , making it a modular bagpack compared to the ones I own. Cheers for the great innovation.

[@micknoh4606]

Looks sick! Sounds like this bag could really do it all from a work bag to a weekend day bag. Honestly if one is very minimal could even do a full weekend trip with it. Keep it up mj!

[@claytonrob1982]

Great review! Really like the layout of this pack.

[@ArchonSG1]

Very nice indeed. My issues with functional bags is usually space management and size (too big / too small) The modular system, both molle and hooks and hoops surface attachment makes this an interesting way to be able to customize the storage area to my needs. Wished you showed if there is a separate space to hold a hydration bladder, and if there is an attachment to secure the item, as that would be a main item (3l hydration bladder) for me to put in along with emergency repair tools and a mini first aid kit when I go cycling. Size wise it might be a little too big for my current immediate needs (would prefer something smaller) but I think it can be solved with securing straps to take up loose space. Definitely something to consider.

[@dr.oetqer]

Looks like a great EDC backpack. Slim but enough space to store all of your essentials.

[@momoji265]

I rotate between 3 bags (2 backpacks and 1 briefcase) for work, though since I cycle to work 90% of the time, I hardly use the briefcase. One of the backpacks is more than 10years old already, and it's nice and sturdy, but the internal organization is falling apart. It has a phone pocket with outdated dimensions on the strap, and a sternum strap. However the only reason I still take this bag on my ride to work is because it has a rain cover, which doesn't fit my other backpack. The other backpack is a daypack, which has almost no padding, not as weatherproof and doesn't offer as much organization as the first one, but it has a more minimalist aesthetic.

[@joki9121]

Very cool. My loadout is getting smaller, so my current bag is a bit too big. Very cool to see lii gear collabing.

[@ArtemisTsukuyomi]

Does fitting a larger laptop (15"-16") in it inhibits the usage of the inner (bottle) pouches or any other functionality?

[@NitecoreSG]

I have a 16” inside, the bottle slots still fit 2

[@ArtemisTsukuyomi]

@@NitecoreSG Thanks for clarifying. Was abit confuse by website details since it say 13" - 14" laptop only.

[@axelignite9916]

I live in salt lake city utah, drive a couple hours in any direction and you find yourself in some very rugged country that is tons of fun to explore, this bag looks like the perfect edc bag for city life or a quick hike, how hard would it be to get one of these shipped to the u.s.? My current edc bag is a travel on anti theft number, biggest gripe is that the padding in the straps has begun to wear out and the metal wires in them dig into my shoulders.

[@TheMadman667]

Very functional and practical backpack. The horizontal molle on the straps is something very different from other backpacks. The quick-release straps make the conversion to a shoulder sling backpack very convenient. Great as an EDC bag. Btw the patch on the bag is a killer! Thank you.

[@vincentm4512]

Love the review! What really grinds my gears about my current bag is how uncomfortable the shoulder straps are. After a full day of wear they dig into my shoulders and create hot spots.

[@rvma88]

18L is a great size for cycling, the ability to place lights and the chest strap seals the deal as well.

[@sticknzmud2723]

AWESOME REVIEW! 👐 🤜🤛 👍 👏 I've been shopping for a for a sling bag for about a year now. Your review of the BP18 was very helpful! Thanks to your review I hope to make a decision quite soon! Thusly permanently retiring my current embarrassing means for getting all of my essentials from point A to point B & back again!

[@nasirnasaves]

Currently using a gopro backpack, the material is similar to a dry bag and it's open top as well. Main problem I have with it is accessibility to my stuff inside, difficult to get stuff at the bottom without taking everything else out! Been looking around for a replacement since I'm gonna use it for sch or hiking. This backpack looks great!! Great review as always!

[@davidhochstadt9650]

I love all my nitcore products and you always give me great ideas.

[@normanis]

I have tons of bags. Eventually I'm done with them cos they either end up too big or too small. Indeed there are many bags similar sized to this one but... they definitely don't have the features like this one. The conversion to sling bag won me over, gonna make it so much nicer for weekend park walks, zoo trips and etc. Perhaps time for me to upgrade my diaper bag. Hands-down on this one!

[@cherophobia_monophobia]

Thanks for the really in-depth review MJ! I usually have an issue with my current bag because I sacrifice on the functions (little molle webbing), it has really bad ventilation and the padding is really stiff, it doesn’t have an internal compartments. The BP18 looks really good and functional!

[@roc3671]

I like the way you put those TIKI😍, I’ll try next time walking at night. My problem with backpacks is that I only own super tactical ones. This sits right in the middle, seems like a solid choice. Great review MJ :)

[@CoyoteB83]

My current backpack doesn’t quite balance functionality with tactical. I have a 15” MacBook Pro, it carries it well but doesn’t carry all my other security gear very well. I always have to compromise on what I can carry. I hope this bag can solve al my issues.

[@kennethleo8964]

Some of the struggles I face with backpacks/bags are: 1. Durability - sometimes the grab handles or seam tear easily especially if the material used is thin or not strong enough 2. Weight - many fashion brands use leather as a material for their bags and while leather is durable, it is pretty heavy even without any load 3. Comfort - some shoulder straps may not have sufficient padding and may 'cut' into your shoulder when the load is heavy 4. Functionality - some bags lack the space and compartments or are not able to be customised to meet the various needs, hence the need to buy different bags for different uses.

[@tyronewalker5764]

Is the interior lines to keep rain? Or do I need a pack liner?

[@jeffpatterson8633]

I'd wear this backpack to work daily and I work in a gun store. People love this stuff!

[@CYB3RSAINT]

I love BP18 for Motorcycle backpack touring, maybe in the future I'll buy one

[@cdrachancleta]

I need this bag. I struggle with bags that fit my frame. I’m only 4’11” tall and most bags are huge for me.

[@roszmanrussian4514]

A great pack for my daily work Hope to purchase it soon

[@alexronaldinho12]

Great review! I need to upgrade my backpack

[@deeperwang106]

Now this is a great looking bag! My current day-to-day bag has some serious problems with accessibility and sweat retention (like you mentioned.) Every time I need something I have to completely take it off, and more often than not I find the back panel soaked after running around in the hot weather all day. I'm really digging all the ways you can get into this thing, and all the things you can do with that velcro panel. I'm a sucker for micromanagement. My own gripe is with the bottom of the bag, I'd definitely need to install some kind of padding to protect the electronics I lug around.

[@NitecoreSG]

I know right, many well padded, comfy bags are not designed for tropical countries.

[@williambarney2874]

Great review as always 👍. My P18 would be right at home in that bag!

[@40rdmag]

I have a drone problem. What lights would you recommend to blind their cameras?

[@NitecoreSG]

P30i, mh40gtr. Long beam lights work best.

[@kevinkengaitochen]

My usual struggle is to find a pack that has a good balance in form, function, and pricepoint. I have often found myself hopping between expensive bags and cheap bags and usually am left unsatisfied. This one looks like it could be the bag that would bridge across all my problems hahaha!

[@MURDOK72605]

Organization and accessibility are the biggest issues with any pack for me. Once you factor in size there always tends to be compromises that make items accessible or organized but rarely both. Nice review. GL with the packs.

[@dougbotimer8005]

Nice, more compact carry than usual day pack. I like the internal water bottle pocket for air travel.

[@blablayourneeds]

The biggest problem I have with my current bag is the accessibility to the items inside the bag. It is a bucket top open backpack so if you need to get the stuff at the bottom you have to fish everything else that's on top.

[@format6]

No slot to attach to rolling luggage?

[@wynuy1022]

Currently using an Osprey Backpack. Sometimes I dont like it when there is not too much stuff inside as it doesnt hold its form. I prefer something a bit more stiff that will hold its shape :)

[@FluffyHulk]

Awesome review 👏 issue I have with my back pack is the weight and not having as much functionality for daily use.

[@cmjp23]

Do you happen to make a backpack that’s smaller, to be able to Conceal Carry? I do love the backpack being spoken of in the video, however.

[@АндрейЛетов-ж9в]

when there will be a single-strap backpack like Ndp 10?

[@ateoh7808]

Nice review. Biggest problem with current backpacks is they are usually a one-trick pony. ie. they can only be used under one circumstance like CIty or Outdoor. Rarely can you find one that fits multiuse.

[@SaibaKeiosu]

struggle? im currently running a Haley Strategic flatpack plus which is pretty flexible, but it does look brick on your back (ala Death Stranding) when you expand it and shove a jacket inside. Previously i was running a Maxpedition Malaga, sling style pack which i ran for 4-5 years. Really wish this pack came in different colours. Specifically the unassuming "Wolf Grey" and a classic Desert Tan But the big question: How well does it take a Dell Latitude 7220 rugged tablet - it's super thicc and heavy

[@alphabravo41]

The pack looks awesome. Perfect size for EDC. Are there any other colors (like coyote brown) available aside from black.

[@NitecoreSG]

Just black at the moment

[@alphabravo41]

[@darnielng]

You are the best reviewer of backpacks I have seen. Make me feel want to replace my PacSafe, Tumi, and PeakDesign.

[@NitecoreSG]

Yes I went through all the travel styled safe bags as well until I realized, modular and functional is the best way to go if you don’t want the bag to dictate how and what you carry. Make the bag work for you, not the other way round :D

[@darnielng]

@@NitecoreSG , once lockdown is over for Malaysia. I will definitely check Nitecore bags out. My Tumi afraid i will scratch it. as it’s on the floor when there is no choice. Pacsafe i have no so practical for daily use. Travel yes. PeakDesign. way over priced.

[@markpyrtle7853]

Love this. Is there room to slide in a bulletproof insert?

[@NitecoreSG]

The rear pocket is big enough, it fits a 16” laptop, so should be big enough for a plate

[@joshuatan9206]

Great review man, your reviews always give enough info to decide on purchasing. I currently use the BP 25 but it doesn't have enough organisation and does bulge quite abit when is filled up.

[@joshuatan9206]

#NBP20 not NBP25 sry.

[@joshuatan9206]

Really love the sling bag feature, could never find a functional and practical sling bag, most on the market are all for fashion and trend.

[@ax5194]

Will need this mid-size functional bag for my daily practical use. Hope to win this

[@lloydsagun]

This idea of a compact and stylish EDC backpack looks promising. Can you share some ideas on how to secure the front zippers of the bag in a populated area for daily commute?

[@NitecoreSG]

The front zippers can be completely hidden in a triangle pocket at the top. So no one will know it can be opened at all. I didn’t show it in the video but good point 👍

[@lloydsagun]

@@NitecoreSG Great feature! Now I think this will be a good EDC for me.

[@robertparadi4885]

Is it possible for you to do a comparison with the bp16?

[@NitecoreSG]

The Bp16 is slightly smaller and won’t have any of the tac features of the Lii gear design. I’d say they’re 2 completely different bags aimed at different target audience. Doesn’t make sense to compare them apple to apple

[@robertparadi4885]

Im using a generic decathlon backpack. It served me well. Zipper is failing sometimes, a few holes here and there. Interiorly it wasnt sturdy enough, ever. But i traveled through Europe with it for years, and served me well for another 3-4 years as a workbag. I'm happy with my purchase, but it wont keep up for long anymore :( it was missing some important feature, however. External layer needed to make it "waterproof", if you opened it with something heavy in the fron pocket, it just collapses, and the molle system is a thing i wanna have for the next backpack :) i was looking for this BP18 prior to this video. Maybe i dont have to buy a backpack, we will see :3
