FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

can you please test the water resistance of that bag? I've read some comments that it was bad in that area. Thanks!

I love Bellroy products, and I actually love that color, but I'm not a fan of this particular bag. While I generally agree on the utility of the quick access portion of the bag at the top, the lack of structure in the bag means using that only works well if you have the bag fairly packed out. That top part becomes heavy and floppy if there isn't enough packed out to create the shape and structure of the bag.

@Youknowthebo 9 ай бұрын

I agree. That is a valid point. But I usually have the bag fully loaded with items for work or travel, so it wasn't much of an issue for me personally

@JM2084 6 ай бұрын

I agree, had the same experience and sold the bag after a month. The floppy structure, top-heavy design, and slippery bottom made it very frustrating to try to prop the bag upright on a table or the ground to access the top-access compartment.

I like the design and style of the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack, but for me your review shows me more cons in the longterms. Materials and straps looks floppy. I think Bellroy should use Cordura Nylon than their own special nylon fabrics. In the end I don't need that pack because I already have something similar, the Tasmanian Tiger Modular Pack 30. Quite big for 30l pack, heavy and not really urban focused but at least the pack has some structure. Otherwise I trust in Heimplanet ;)

@Youknowthebo 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for commenting and watching. Heimplanet is definitely a great choice

@newagain9964 29 күн бұрын

Agreed. For close to $300 for 26l and 20l lacking to much thought and quality. If they were half the price would be a A+ bags.

Grüße in die schönste Stadt der Welt :-) Good review. I just ordered the bag to use as m carry-on for a trip to Norway. Luckily I don't have to worry about getting the electronics out at security, since Fraport already has the new scanners where you won't have to unpack your bag, which is super. Your fav feature is actually what also sold me on this bag, the top quick access compartment looks just perfect, I can't wait to try out the bag.

@Youknowthebo 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. That new scanner sounds really convenient. Hopefully more airports have that scanner in the future. Schönen Gruß zurück ✌️😊

Thanks Bo great review as always. I got this bag in September for a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia for 8 weeks. I enjoyed using it as my carry on on flights and trains, I agree the quick access compartment at the top of the bag was very handy, I also liked the compartment on the side which is a bit hidden for passport etc. I was surprised how much it could hold and was comfortable to carry. I like the idea that it is a bit more rugged than Bellroys more urban bags, I used it to carry towels, sun cream drinks etc for a trip to the beach and it didn't feel like I was carrying my office bag. So far the only negatives are the water bottle holder/ tripod pocket takes space from inside the bag, I found the zippers a little stiff but overall very happy with it.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the bag ✌️😉

@tomstock9546 4 ай бұрын

Hack: If you use a little bit of silicone paste or spray the zippers will operate smoother and last longer

How did you find the shoulder strap slippage I have 3 bellroy backpacks and the straps always need readjustment?

@Youknowthebo 9 ай бұрын

Do you mean slippage in terms of sliding of your shoulders or in terms of their length adjustment?

@meloncolic 9 ай бұрын

Length adjustment

On the Bellroy website, it says that there is a "Previous Edition" of this backpack in Black and Nightsky colour options. What the difference between the Previous Edition and this new Bronze one?

@kris6994 4 ай бұрын

This in video is previous edition, new one has just luggage pass through

I have owned this bag for over a month. The only negative I have is that the water bottle holder is way too tight

@alfdjones 9 ай бұрын

It's quite similar with one of Dakine bag that I used. But the front pocket is much bigger here and make it interesting. Thanks for the review!

A lot of people seem to rave and rave about Bellroy. It's nice to see some balance and to point out the not so perfect features. Tbf, i'm wary of any reviewer that's too positive... Or too negative.. 🤣

@jim_bocho 9 ай бұрын

I really like what Bellroy did with the whole Venture line, and this one is no exception. I do prefer roll-tops in this size, but seems to be very well though out in general. I agree with your view on quick access. My Wndrd Prvke only has this small one up top and a big shallow one in the front with no separation. They fixed the latter with some organisation on the newer models, but I prefer Bellroy's approach. Regarding color besides black: I'd accept a very dark grey 😉

@newagain9964 29 күн бұрын

For well over $200 this bag and line is not thought out enough.

@William.N 9 ай бұрын

I like different colors in my bags but I don't want to stand out too much with an EDC bag. With my more active bags, I say the brighter the better just in case I need to be found for whatever reason.

@Youknowthebo 9 ай бұрын

Yeah, I get that. I think with this color you would probably stand out a lot

The "brain" is typically the most useful part of any top loading bag.

Hey Bo, How do you compare this with the daybreaker 2? Thanks!

I heard the exterior material marks up easily 🤷‍♂️

@Lance54689 9 ай бұрын

I agree that the quick access pocket is great, and from my standpoint the key is that it has its own volume. I love medium-sized pockets with their own volume, makes them much more useful. Now that I'm thinking it through, i'd put stretchy water bottle pockets in this category because when used they effectively create their own volume.
