Nitecore BP18 review

[@seductive_Octopus]

The slim with Velcro covered “Pouch” on the Back is for the typical aluminum rod/ strut for additional support if you need or want some. It’s like on the bigger Tracking Backpacks 🤨 it’s a bit weird to see it like that, normally Company’s just take a piece of “plastic” as support and if needed they put the aluminum on top. 😂 but this company is doing things always… different

[@FittoSurvive]

Sounds logical. 👍🏻 Basically it is just an option to add a support. 👍🏻

[@elHokusPokus]

@@FittoSurvive Try this backpack with / without the rod / strut inserted there. It makes a big difference. Without it it will be better EDC city carry bag. But with any heavy load in backpack rod is "must have" in case of backpacks like this.

[@FittoSurvive]

@@elHokusPokus I will have to find a rod that will fit, and I will try it out. 👍🏻

[@Darius-jm4sn]

@@FittoSurvive Have you found one?

[@FittoSurvive]

@@Darius-jm4sn To be honest, I have not searched yet. 😬

[@ZygiBoos]

This Velcro place in the middle of the back - it's a place for a special frame, which stiffens the backpack, if you have a lot of stuff in there which pushes the back, it doesn't feel so.

[@RidingKG]

I like the bag. Agree with your thoughts about the lack of pockets, I too have pack stuff away then couldn't find it. Really like the removable straps. You did a fantastic job reviewing this bag.

[@FittoSurvive]

Thank you. The removable/rearrangable straps really are a nice feature.

[@eduardopelaezjr.447]

What brand is the pouches attached to the bagpack on your thumbnail?

[@FittoSurvive]

They are Condor pouches. One is a small medical pouch and the other is a water bottle pouch.

[@darrylwillhite7880]

I think the bag has an outstanding design but I wish they had used heavier materials.. commuter bags take a lot more abuse than you would think

[@FittoSurvive]

I can see what you mean. 👍🏻

[@nizam_official3116]

Waterproof?

[@FittoSurvive]

Water resistant. It'll keep your belongings dry in the rain. But if it falls in a river or lake, it'll probably get soaked.

[@alexbautista5163]

What’s the little flashlight?

[@FittoSurvive]

That flashlight is the Rovyvon A25. Here's a link: amzn.to/3TTtqia

[@mizarahmadmaulana3111]

Is it water resistance

[@FittoSurvive]

It is water resistant, but not water proof.

[@StevenMartynek]

Quiver for 1 arrow 😂

[@FittoSurvive]

😅 Definitely

[@FarmersSON55]

The loop on the bottom is for an axe, the long thin pocket is probably for trekking poles...

[@FittoSurvive]

That is brilliant. An axe would fit perfectly in that loop. The long thin pocket is way too thin for trekking poles.

[@seductive_Octopus]

Company says: Grabhandle not for Axt I mean, it looks like a Grabhandle, Axt/ Ski loops are longer and have a smaller base to make the twisting easier. Why the Yello - it’s the Company’s colors 🤭

[@FittoSurvive]

@@seductive_Octopus Nitecore sent me an email, here is what they said about the handle: "The loop provides great hand-carry support while using as the sling bag, it helps you turn the bag from the back to the front." You may be right about the yellow stitching too. I was thinking of something else though.

[@lightinthedark_]

Nitecore's own video says the bottom handle is just a handle. They don't mention the long thin pocket at all - radio antenna maybe? I'd imagine the yellow stitching is just for aesthetics, make it stand out from the other 5,000 solid black backpacks. Great review! Check out all their velcro stuff and pouches to customize the inside.

[@FittoSurvive]

Maybe it is just a handle, or like somebody else commented, maybe it is for hanging an axe? You might be able to fit an antenna in the thin pocket. Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed the review.

[@gerrywolf5409]

Great review, I find the one funny thing about this bag: The two vertical zip on the front are pretty good for quick access from each side while using as the sling bag.

[@FittoSurvive]

Thank you. That is correct. Something that I overlooked on my review. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

​@@FittoSurvive HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO A MAXPEDITION OF SIMILAR SIZE?

[@syahrilsamsuddin]

I just bought this bag..lucky to see this review from you👍🏼

[@FittoSurvive]

Awesome! That really is cool. 👍🏻😂

[@advaithaswal3646]

How much it costs ?

[@BeTeHa-w7t]

Great review. Any idea, if the ventilation on back system significantly reduce prespiration?

[@FittoSurvive]

Thanks. It lets your back breathe a bit. If I wear it for a hike the back of my t-shirt is always wet. So, don't expect it to keep you completely dry.

[@arfanwafiq3278]

Nitecore have different size mesh pocket with velcro backing to put at the back side of the front panel. They also have different design of elastic organizer that you can choose to customize the way you want. Its a good idea but its just add cost and all the accessories not cheap

[@FittoSurvive]

Yeah, that would be nice to add to the backpack to help make more space for organizing things.

[@MrReflection540]

Sorry, English is not my native language, but I have to say it 1. end-to-end department is a very bad decision. there are little things that will get lost in one big compartment. If there were two departments, then this problem could be solved. 2. Incorrect locks on the upper straps. Removed too easily. You may be caught and the backpack will fall. The lower ones are made more correctly.

[@FittoSurvive]

Hey! Thank you for your input! Yes, definitely small things can easily get lost in the single large compartment. I thought about the quick-detach straps possibly being an issue.

[@MrReflection540]

look at "RUSH MOAB 10 SLING PACK 18L" of 5.11. If you take this backpack and apply Nitecore BP18 to it, you get a real bomb.

[@FittoSurvive]

@@MrReflection540 I will take a look at it. Thank you!

[@MrReflection540]

@@FittoSurvive Stop, I'm sorry. I meant the AMP10 model from 5.11

[@FittoSurvive]

@@MrReflection540 OK, makes sense.

Re: Yellow stitching on the right side. Subliminal messaging. They're telling people on the far right that they're cowards. Cope :)

[@FittoSurvive]

🤣🤣🤣 I definitely missed that subliminal message... 😝 Very crafty of them. 🤨

[@johnsmit907]

Great design, but few pockets, no hidden pockets in the back, laptop compartment should be in the back, only the single large compartment. Bad lightning at this price, oh my god, it's just a piece of rope! As a result, it is too expensive and thoughtless. I do not recommend this. Anyway, thanks for the review)

[@FittoSurvive]

It really is a minimalistic pack for sure. 😝 Thanks for your input, glad that you enjoyed the review. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ARCHONFella]

what microphone are you using man?

[@FittoSurvive]

PowerDeWise Lavlier microphone. If the audio seems off, it is probably because I was using a free video editing program back when I recorded this video and it tended to cause some audio lag.

[@syahrilsamsuddin]

Yellow stitching is for aesthetic Nitecore trademark. No specific function..only of we using as sling front bag easy to mark the opening (right handed). My guess 😅

[@FittoSurvive]

That is probably correct. Just aethetics.

[@DonClemenster]

I'm sure it's aesthetics, but a bi product of it is also for easier identification on what's up and down on the bag, so you won't pick it up in the wrong end and empty the bag down a mudhole

[@FittoSurvive]

@@DonClemenster That actually makes sense. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks.
