Baboon to the Moon Go-Bag Small (40L) Review - Is it Actually Good? Or just Colorful?

[@KohiOcha]

This brand just speaks to me, and unlike many bags nowadays that use bland and mundane colors brighter and more colorful bags are more to my liking/taste.

[@EDG]

Preach! Yea it's very popular for a good reason. I like that it just differentiates itself. I also made a video on their fanny pack mini if you're interested.

[@KohiOcha]

@@EDG Thanks

[@EDG]

Yep no problem. thanks for commenting.@@KohiOcha

[@itismonique]

I got the mini in October to use as a personal item on flights and instantly regretted not buying the small and large. Love this bag!! PS. The strap is adjustable on both sides so you should be able to have the padding on the top of your shoulder.

[@EDG]

Hah, yea glad to hear you love it! Yea, we could always use more space. I was thinking about getting the mini as well. Oh nice, I'll have to try that, thanks.

[@itismonique]

@@EDG BttM just posted a YT video about the straps last week seems a lot of people had the same issue

[@EDG]

@@itismonique Wait really? I didn't see that. Do you have a link? It looks like BttM KZbin hasn't posted anything for a while.

[@itismonique]

[@EDG]

@@itismonique oh dang, it does work! I just updated the description of my video with the update. thanks so much for the heads up. I hope people see the description hah.

[@ryanjwinisdead]

You're supposed to adjust the arm straps so the padding covers your shoulders. They even have videos on Instagram telling you to do this.

[@EDG]

Yes, thank you. I clarified in the description

[@MTA3]

I’ve defo been eyeing their bags for a while bc my go-to bag for Spirit/economy airlines is just a weekender bag with an over the shoulder strap that gets too heavy to just be slung on one shoulder

[@EDG]

dooooo it! There's lots of options out there, but get a cool color if ya do.

[@nomithinks]

I packed my Go Bag Small to the brim back in March. Honestly, wasn't all too uncomfortable! The straps on my husbands Black Hole duffel were way more comfortable than mine but my GoBag is sturdier/more durable which I like.

[@EDG]

Thats great to hear Naomi! Yep, after I finished the video, people notified me how to make the straps more comfy...so sadly the video should have been better. I agree with you and your husbands experience as well. Of course, in my situation I carry whichever bag my wife doesnt want to haha so it's a lose lose!

[@nomithinks]

Haha yes! In my opinion I think the company needs to include written instructions in the package instead of just posting it on social media.

[@EDG]

@@nomithinks thats what im sayin! I feel bad that my video says the straps are uncomfortable when they aren't...but also, cmon! I don't have instagram and it wasnt on their website really, so I had no clue.

[@tomatochemist]

I bought the version of this that does not have the adjustable, removable straps, and I hate the straps. It makes it so hard to open the bag. I really would not recommend buying it unless it is the adjustable one and for some reason half the colors have adjustable and half don’t.

[@EDG]

interesting, thanks for the comment. I jsut got this one, so I wonder if an older version? Yea, im not a huge fan of the straps and actually after using it, on the the strap anchors for duffel mode is like, too small so it's kinda hard to use. But if they have some colors that have adjustable and some that don't.....thats not good.

[@ack153]

Did you buy a Carnival color?

[@EDG]

@@ack153 no, the navy

[@tomatochemist]

@@ack153 It’s a regular edition in orange

[@Darightchois]

Could anyone tell me if the small size be okay to carry in Europe flights?

[@EDG]

It will!

[@samlodijo]

Do you think someone could get away with using this as their travel bag for a two week trip? Going to Japan!

[@EDG]

For 2 weeks, I think you could use this as your only carry on (besides a small purse or backpack). In fact I literally just got back from Japan using a similar bag size. But, there are a few conditions...you can probably only bring 1 pair of shoes, only a few outfits and access to a washer, and plan not not buying too much extra in Japan (which is so hard, because there so much good stuff). But yes, if needed, it can be done. though you're allowed multiple check ins for basically every airline to Japan, so might as well take advantage of it.

[@MrShanebizzle]

Awesome video man thanks!

[@EDG]

no, thank you for the comment.

[@chloecanilao6103]

Do you think the small can be a personal item for flights or is it too large?

[@EDG]

HI Chloe, for American domestic flights, yep It should be able to qualify for personal item. Assuming your large bag goes into the overhead, this GO-bag just has to be small enough to fit under the seat in front, which it can if its not packed to the absolute max.

[@mefington]

Their website says that the small is perfect for an overhead bag and the mini is ideal for a personal item bag.

[@alwalude]

I order the small for an upcoming trip will it be able to pass as a personal time ?

[@EDG]

@@alwalude yes it will

[@ecrawl4902]

@@alwalude Update? Was the small okay as a personal bag?

[@Jorge-lm4bg]

I was looking for this just to use as a gym bag to bring to the office or occasionally use for weekend trips. I think I will get it

[@EDG]

Doooooo it

[@sarahcepeda622]

The small one can be carry on?

[@EDG]

yes for sure

[@Starkillr1]

If the straps and the fit aren’t right then the backpack is not good quality my $60 Nike SB backpack has everything you just mentioned except the clip on the end of the tail, and it’s not made out of plastic or vinyl and it has a chest clip and the straps are comfortable. This bag is a gimmick, a ploy, a plot, a game, a shamble a scramble to deceive.

[@EDG]

Love the vocabulary at the end, I got lost in the poetry. But i think you’re talking about fit vs. Quality. Fit is subjective and can vary. Again, this is not a backpack. It’s a duffel with backpack straps. I have no doubt that your backpack is more comfortable. Quality, however, is more objective. I’ve had Nike backpacks. Things like material, hardware, lifetime warranty, etc are what separate this bag. To be fair, I still think the baboon to the moon is a high asking price , but normal Nike SB backpacks are $100 and not much of a better value.
