Marcelo's Backpack Review | Douchebags Hugger 30L

[@EarlLeeBird]

100% agree about the water bottle or soda can pockets on the sides - the lack of these has been a deal breaker for me, otherwise I like the looks of these backs. I also feel like for the price they could have implemented a better breathing section that rests against your back - there is nothing to leave an air gap between your back and the bag surface and this means that bag is not good for hiking or longer walking, it is only good for stuffing your things in it and carrying them to a car or another means of transportation.

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Definitely understand where you are coming from.

[@markussimonsson]

I hope they soon get mesh pockets on the inside of the big lid like the 20 and 50 L have. And i also agree that a bottle pocket would be great!

[@Grrrym]

From the start, I thought it was a shame that those pockets wasn't on the 25L and 30L. But after using this for a month or so, I don't need them. The top pocket is the real deal here. It's so roomy and really easy to access to grab the stuff you use regularly, such as chargers, cables, keys, wallet. I really underrated the top pocket.

Had mine since 2018, i solved the water issue with a camelback in the laptop folder. Clipped the tube on the hook. Was perfectly fine for backpacking

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

nice idea

[@Grrrym]

You have a picture of it? I need to solve this water bottle issue. Smashed my water bottle into a car the other day as I used a 3 cm long hook to strap the bottle on.

[@aliwins]

Great review. I love the color! It doesn’t look like it in the pictures or in this video, but can you confirm if it has a trolley sleeve to go over the handle of a roller bag ?

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

No it does not. It is designed to hook on to the roller bags made by the same brand

[@Grrrym]

Great video. I purchased the upgraded version of "The Hugger" called "The Strom". I had the 20L, but my laptop didn't fit in the PC pocket. But the new version, the 25L, which I find perfect (it's not too big, not too small either), is so great. It does even have three new extra mesh pockets in the main opening. I would strongly recommend it.

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Yeah I think the 25L might be the sweet spot. That came out right after I got this one.

[@Grrrym]

@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre I was wrong, the 25L doesn't have the three mesh pockets on the opening as the 20L do. I was so sure it had, but it don't. I was a little bit disappointed with that, but the size makes up for it - it's perfect. I also solved the bottle issue (no pocket for it) with buying a dB hook. I attached it to one of the hooks on the bag and then attached the water bottle to the hook.

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Good idea for the water bottle. But they should still just build that into the bag

[@Grrrym]

@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre Agreed.

[@Grrrym]

Update on the hook for water bottle. I had to stop using it after smashing the water bottle into a car and in my face. I will have to figure out something else, maybe make the hook much shorter than it is today (it's about 3 cm long).

[@TedPatrickBaird]

Just copped my 30L Strom using your discount code 🤘

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Nice

[@LumiHyseni]

Sounds like you should have bought the model called The Backpack or The Backpack Pro which is slightly bigger. It has all the extras you mentioned.

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Yes but they don’t have the same look as this one.

[@madsjensen3718]

Great vid! Did you ever find out if the 20l version could fit your 15 inch laptop?

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

I never ordered it to see. But my guess is that it would work

[@bigtray33]

@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre a 15 inch MacBook doesnt fit in the 20L. I know because I just tried and now I have to return it.

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Did a video about the 20L bag after this video and I say it there

[@davidorito1707]

Great video Im getting one today and i wanted too see a review

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

Glad you like the review.

[@Juggernaut_rl]

I have a black douche bag but it doesnt say Db TM on the right side. Is it fake?

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

It could be but I can’t tell you for sure

[@Juggernaut_rl]

@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre its the E.V.A version

[@Grrrym]

They removed the dB on the sides of the new version, at least for the Scandinavian customers.

[@spincla]

you're too short bro, but nice review tho :))

[@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre]

What are you saying too short lol. I am though it’s all good.
