IT BROKE! Code Of Bell x Harvest Label DOUBLE NAME PROJECT II - 4020X Backpack! In-Depth Review!

[@WumpaFP]

It’s been a while, was wondering what your thoughts on the bag is now. Was thinking about the x type or this one and wanted to ask

A small carabiner on that round water bottle and you're good to go

Pretty happy with mine so far. I kind of question the choice of locking zips for the bottom bucket compartment. A larger zipper wouldn't get caught so easily around the corners.

I bought this one in a heartbeat, now waiting to get it. Really excited but a bit scared about the zippers like you said. Thanks for the review.

Awesome video! 🙌That sucks to hear about the zipper though. We're getting our shipment in of these soon and are going to be filming our own video, so we'll let you know how it is on ours.

Thank you! Oh man, small world! I remember watching your interview with Dan Matsuda! He's such an awesome guy! Just subbed to your channel! Yes, definitely let me know if yours has the issue or not, I'd be very interested to hear.👊🤙

[@urbancred]

@@FlawlessActivity Thanks for the support! 🙌 We love Dan too! 😁

I think Xtype backpack looks way better than this one

[@zooner7256]

Looks interesting. Comparing this to the Alpha 31, which one holds more, is easier to pack (for travel)? Can you compare the comfort to the A31? Thanks.

[@FlawlessActivity]

Hey brother! Great to hear from you, and great question! Honestly, I didn't even think to put the two head to head, as they're pretty different, but to your point, I know plenty of people who travel with the A31 (and plenty who love hiking with it too). Let me caveat this, since I already returned the COB, I can't compare side by side anymore, so this is from memory. A31 has to hold more as a result of the rolltop, but COB is more squared off, so you can pack larger items like organizers easier in a stacking fashion. It's a really usable space for the main compartment. The bottom pocket on the COB is awesome, but the zipper to access it isn't that great. That said, the zippers to access the main compartment on the A31 aren't too great either. Far smoother and more durable feeling from an actual zipper point of view, but they get caught on the rain guards all the time. Front pockets on the A31 are way more usable size wise. The COB front pockets are flat, but the side with the full width pocket on the COB is nice vs the seam down the middle of the A31 that splits the size of the front organization in half. Comfort, I didn't get a chance to really wear the COB, but I was really impressed with the back panel and straps. I feel like it would have the edge, but I'll never know for sure. Overall, the COB has a lot more going on. Way more features, pockets, and a dedicated laptop compartment. For travel, it's probably a better design, especially without additional organization. That said, the A31 is simpler, but, IMO, the better built pack. It's just more robust and durable feeling. Bomb proof being a good word, vs the COB, where the zipper came off on its own. I kept the A31, where I sent the COB back, but I probably would pick a different pack for travel. I personally need a dedicated laptop compartment at a minimum for that, but that's just a strong personal preference on my part. Hope that helps!🤙

Puuh! Was just about buying this until i saw the zipper thing. Won't take the risk buying this. Great video btw 👍

[@user-ck2rj7pv4h]

Appreciate this review, hope you're able to get some kind of help from COB considering this broke fresh out the box. Disappointed because I have their x-pod 2 which has held up very nicely.

[@FlawlessActivity]

Thanks! Yea, it was definitely a bummer, but I'm glad I was able to confirm at least one other pack was built okay before making this video, and COB customer service was definitely great in getting me sorted out! Things happen sometimes, and when they do, it's all about what you do next. So, in that respect, I do want to publicly thank the COB team for understanding and taking care of me. Glad to hear your COB product is serving you well! Appreciate the comment and support!🤙

[@ericm7358]

I think I'm a little upset there's no load lifter straps on it

[@midnightperfectworld]

can this hold a 17" laptop - 11"x14"x1"

[@TimtotheJ]

Almost impulse bought this. Really appreciate your review, this bag would have been very expensive for me and i would have been very disappointed. Thanks bro 👊🏼

[@FlawlessActivity]

You're welcome brother! Happy to help! These bags aren't cheap. Gotta make sure you'll like it. Appreciate the comment, it means a lot!👊🤙
