Bellroy Via Workpack Review (Style over function?)

[@Nomads.Nation]

🔥 Check out my bag on Kickstarter! 👉🏼 go.nomadsnation.com/fyro-t22

[@miiaagilbert]

this is my EDC and I LOVE IT!!! Been on the hunt for the perfect short commute backpack and this is it. Hello from San Francisco!

[@Nomads.Nation]

So glad to hear you are enjoying it!

[@semzip8558]

Appreciate the minimalist design of this

[@Nomads.Nation]

super minimalist and clean for sure

[@merikzhang9389]

I LOVE THIS BAG, keep it up with the bag reviews!

[@Nomads.Nation]

beautiful simple bag, I'm fond of it too

[@Lucaemar]

I reckon this might be a good fit for students (uni/highschool): a couple books, notepad, fodler of papers, laptop. If only the waterbottle holder was on the outside, to leave space for larger books... I've been looking for something like this to recommend to my friends, a simple study bag

[@Nomads.Nation]

100%!

Nice video You mentionned 3 years of warranty in the video but Bellroy recently increased it to 6 years for all their bags

[@Nomads.Nation]

very true! this video was shot a few months ago, our new reviews will be sure to mention this, thanks for that@!

[@cpoetter]

It's very close to the Alpaka Bravo Totepack which I like a lot. The Alpaka bag seems to have way better organization than the Bellroy one, not just regarding the admin front.

[@Nomads.Nation]

agreed

[@thewildonions]

My EDC. Great bag!

[@Nomads.Nation]

glad to hear you like it!

[@christinel7260]

I find the texture of the bag tends to attract dust, lint, and hair easily but the bag is overall aesthetically pleasing. I think it’s still a nice, slim and minimal work bag!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Yea the material can be a bit of a lint magnet but not too terrible in my experience

[@reeks303]

Is there an efficient way you could add a liter capacity test to your videos? Is there a standardized way you can measure those claims?

[@Nomads.Nation]

we hope to include this in later reviews, but right now not something we have capacity to do

[@brucedelacruz9973]

Great review! I’m looking for a simple, small, slim and lightweight bag for the days when all I have to do is just carry my iPad Pro 12.9 in. I was thinking about the Alpaka Metro but now this looks promising too. Any thoughts??

[@Nomads.Nation]

both are great options! I prefer the Metro personally but it's small, so you really can't carry much. Another option to look at is the Able Carry 13

[@andythomas1857]

Another great review! I'm looking to change my travel setup. Been traveling for the past 2 years and working remotely. I'm buying the AER travel pack 3 based on your review (thank you, I will use your link!) so looking for a day pack to use for coworking spaces / cafes etc but not having much luck. I've seen your video on packable day bags, but none seem to offer much laptop protection. Any videos you have thaht would suggest any? or could you suggest a packable day bag that would provide some good protection? Thanks, Andy

[@Nomads.Nation]

only packable bag I know if that some laptop protection is the Aer Go 2, aside from that you'll have to get a non-packable type bag. Aer Tech Sling 3 is a great option, but is small.

[@NgocHa-qs7bz]

The question is… should I get the Tokyo or the Via? Decisions!!

[@Nomads.Nation]

I prefer the Tokyo slightly

[@Nomads.Nation]

actually no, I change my mind, Via

[@YingYing9ying]

@@Nomads.Nationwhy is that?

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@YingYing9ying as you can tell they are very similar, so for me the Via just feels a little more streamlined and I prefer the aesthetic

[@Brian_Lau]

Nice review Aaron. It’s not for me, but I’m sure it’s works for some.

[@Nomads.Nation]

thanks mate! while I really like the bag I agree - not for my use case either

[@arsalanahmed5740]

Via Workpack or Tokyo Totepack? I am still on the fence before I pull the trigger

[@Nomads.Nation]

I prefer the Via personally

[@LilySiti]

This feels like the younger cousin of their Tokyo Totebag Also, it would be funny if Bellroy decides to make a legit Ita bag.

[@Nomads.Nation]

lta?

[@LilySiti]

@Nomads.Nation An Ita bag is mainly used in fandom spaces where you can show off your badges and other merch via a see through plastic portion of the bag. It's a niche area in the bag community, I guess. A waterproof Ita Bag would sell exceptional well now that I think about it

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@LilySiti learn something new everyday - thanks for sharing!

[@laknicks]

Exact copy of the Patagonia Atom Tote Pack which has water bottle holders on the side

[@Nomads.Nation]

yup, totepacks have been around for a while, many have a similar sort of design

[@evanrosado6348]

Gracias. Muy interesante.

[@Nomads.Nation]
