Bellroy Lite Ready Pack Review (BEST compressible pack??)

[@Nomads.Nation]

Do you want to help me build a game-changing backpack 👉 nomadsnation.com/building-a-backpack

[@ZeroXMK_]

An alternate use for the shoe compartment is to throw in a hydration bladder in there, then route the straw out the top pocket and fix it to the lash point. Then the water bottle holder is your backup hydration

[@Nomads.Nation]

great call!

[@bani_niba]

The Aer Go Pack 2 is better in my opinion. For a day pack, easy access is important as you're wearing the pack most of the time - that Aer pack has the large external pocket. Also the two water bottle holders.

[@Nomads.Nation]

I too prefer the Go Pack

[@e3vL1]

For a lite day pack I recommend the aer go pack 2

[@Nomads.Nation]

love the Go Pack

[@MrKendoex]

Would you recommend the aer go pack 2 or the nomatic navigator?

Aaron, not just you, but not digging the YT trend of the "coming up" intro thing. You already have chapter stamps to refer to and I always skip over the coming up part. Others may disagree. But the review parts are informative and awesome as usual! My 2 cents.

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

Actually it’s kind of fun

[@Scott__C]

@@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater That's OK if you like it, but to me I don't need to see something again when it was just shown a couple minutes before.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for your feedback! We just added this a few months ago and haven’t gotten any negative comments on it yet, but I’ll keep a tally and if enough ppl complain we’ll consider getting rid of it 💪🏻

[@Scott__C]

@@Nomads.Nation Please don't consider it a complaint but more just a feature I personally won't use. Not slagging it, it is done well, just not my thing.

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@Scott__C appreciated!

[@mitchellkirkham844]

I do like the PU coated zips and the overall look of the bag but like some others I think I’ll stick with my Aer Go Pack with the two water bottle pockets and the front shovel pocket. Great review as always!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks my dude!

[@SZMN766]

The Tortuga Packable Backpack is essentially this but cheaper and more packable. I see others saying Aer Go Pack 2 as an alternative daypack, but I consider that a compressable (flat) backpack that is in a slightly different category than ones than can fold up into a packable small cube.

[@Nomads.Nation]

great points!

[@jonuiuc]

Its interesting, I went through a period when I was buying and trying a lot of "packable" bags. For backpacks that have no back padding (like the aer go or rennen ripstop) this longer tube shape seems to work out. My favorite compressible bag that I've tried is the similarly shaped Cotopaxi Batac (has 18L and 24L sizes). if you can live with the crazy colors, the batac is a good price, has some of the best thin straps I've tried (they somehow made thin straps have good structure and support) and has double external bottle pockets. This one has that nice Bellroy look and materials, I love a "brain" type pocket, those are prob my fave type of external pockets.

[@Nomads.Nation]

You basically have a PhD in compressible bags at this point 😆

[@jgoo4572]

$140 USD seems like a lot for a simple bag. For the price PU coated zipper seems right. I would buy the same backpack with less exotic materials and regular ykk zips for maybe half the price. Most nylon materials have a coated backing, so it’s going to be mostly water proof anyway. I own something similar and you are right, perfect for travel! Water bottle pockets are easier to load when the pack is not empty! Lol. Thanks for the videos.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Agree and thank you!

[@Brian_Lau]

I like the organization of the outside pocket and the sternum strap. A second water bottle pocket/zippered pocket on the other side would be nice for quick access. Maybe another dump pocket inside would be helpful also. Overall, too steep in price for what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Nomads.Nation]

I won't disagree, a bit pricey for what it is

[@Nutsackfart]

​@Nomads.Nation You should review packable backpacks too. Thank you Aaron😊

[@pamlucchino4878]

Thank you for sharing and reviewing this bag. The price is a little steep for what you get for sure. I prefer no water bottle pocket on the outside, for me it’s bulky and two would be heavy and bulky. Inside for my water bottle works. Would consider the other Bellroy lite bag for less money.

[@Nomads.Nation]

I think the other Lite def offers a bit more value

[@pamlucchino4878]

I am excited for your backpack to be released!! Thank you for content, you really have helped me in my latest Bellroy purchases. Keep making your great videos!!

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@pamlucchino4878 thank so much!

[@garyclark8684]

Awesome video, I have the lite sling and love it. Will you be reviewing the venture ready 20l bag?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks mate! No immediate plans but hopefully soon

[@markpuffer9615]

Two water bottle holders. Could have maybe added a softer interior for the top compartment for the glasses?

[@Nomads.Nation]

could have been a nice touch for sure

[@jazzsmit]

Guess I won't put shoes inside the bag like that, I would rather put an iPad there. Btw, the yellow Lamborghini appeared twice in the background looked awesome. 😆

[@Nomads.Nation]

so awesome, I wanted to do a fake shot pretending I was opening it with my keys but bailed last second loll

[@Rhokx]

I'm trying to choose between the Osprey stuff pack, Matador refraction and the Bellroy lite ready pack! I want it to be comfortable, breathable, durable & packable. I would like to be able to store it in the Aer travel pack 3, and use it as a personal item if necessary and in my travel destination. I want everything 😂😅!! Any suggestions?

[@Nomads.Nation]

I prefer the Matador Refraction, we are publishing a full review in a week or so AND publishing a roundup of the 11 Best Compressible bags shortly after 💪

[@Rhokx]

@@Nomads.Nation Hola, thanks for your help!! You know how to make it fun to watch backpack videos. Stop the dangle!!! 🤣 I hope to see that roundup soon. Greetings from Mexico! 🇲🇽

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@Rhokx gracias!!

[@MrKendoex]

Would you prefer the bellroy lite ready pack or the lite daypack?

[@Nomads.Nation]

both are great, I think the Lite Ready gives a bit better value

[@moongaming2778]

Hey I have question I’m having an issue with adjusting the shoulder strap and the strap is twisted is that supposed to be normal?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Not sure what you mean, maybe reach out to Bellroy customer support and see what they say

Can you do a review of the Boundary Supply Rennen Ripstop Daypack? Or have you already?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Already have! You can find it on YT - we did the full Ripstop collection in one video

[@colin6711]

Could you please do the review of TUMI Alpha Bravo Navigation backpack too?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Will try!

[@mokisan]

For some reason I can't post comment on your videos 🤔 I dont know if this one will appear, am I being banned for some reason? Did I do something wrong

[@Nomads.Nation]

oh no, I would never ban a comment! Engagement is everything on KZbin so the more the merrier haha, this one got through so hopefully more will

[@mmmuwwwti2]

It is important to have rain protection zippers in every bag I own!

Too expensive ! My son will probably destroy this within a semester… I’ll pay $70… doesn’t boundary supply have a light weight line! I do believe their prices are more reasonable and they have more heft… that’s a no for me… I can’t edit to receive my fyro for Christmas or New Year…I’ll go with BS in this case eventhou I’m team belroy mostly
