[@allan4128]

"...big company and i am going to make sure i review the small companies..." Thats something i can get behind, much love and respect man, 100 percent loving your reviews, hope you can send some love to your brothers in the philippines and review some of our bags

[@joshwoods5222]

Awesome video George, thanks for showing Elias’s work. He’s a very talented, creative, and hard working guy. Thanks for including the smaller producers on your channel. Your video quality is top notch.

[@gearwhoresanonymous]

If by creative you mean taking someone else’s design and calling it his own, yes

[@ccarlin52]

The small companies have provided me the best packs I've owned! Thanks for making sure they are given some spotlight, especially those made in the U.S.A.!!

[@forrestkenworthy2357]

Once again thank you for bringing the small makers to us all!

[@mollygarza3812]

Thanks George! Usually I’m pro water bottle outside pocket, but lately I’m into internal water bottle pocket. That shelf is truly one of a kind.

[@danielleyingling8926]

Elias made a bag for my son. Amazing work!! Never saw anything like it. 100 quality!!! I'm so proud of you bud!!!!

[@AppleWraps]

George, Thanks for the great reviews! I really appreciate that you review the small “mom & pop” shops along with the big companies.

[@gtzjustin13]

Elias is a good dude who makes top quality products. I recommend his gear 100%

[@gearwhoresanonymous]

Too bad it’s someone else’s design.

[@gtzjustin13]

@@gearwhoresanonymous is it because it has 2 straps and zippers just like every other backpack on the market?

[@Romanweyant]

@@gearwhoresanonymous looks like some pretty cool stuff to me. It’s always cool to see people improve designs and make a great product.

[@kmfdm007]

Very cool pack. Thanks for showcasing the innovation from the less known players.

[@kidbach]

Way to represent the small companies, thats definitely a good look.Thanks for sharing, Bro-ham. One.

[@edcwrist7528]

You got to love those USA base and manufactured EDC products! Thanks for sharing man!

[@sethcoogan]

Your video quality keeps getting better! Thanks George for these great reviews.

[@jcpalermo2576]

Awesome. Way to go, George. There are some gems out there from smaller companies, glad to know I can trust you to get those in front of me. Appreciate you!

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

No doubt!

[@SerialEater274]

Thank you for representing companies outside of the "big 5/6" (MR/GoRuck/AER/A19/Able Carry, etc). I get tired of seeing the same things over and over again and I have found so many great products from your channel(and not others) because of this. This pack is absolutely incredible and I need one now! I hope they're in stock, because I'm heading there to buy one NOW! 🤞👍

[@harunomiya]

I really like this bag. The four way zippers are great. That water holder compartment was something I do in my own bags so it's cool to see it here. I have a question, how many ranger rolled set of clothes fit in this bag? It'll be great for one bag travel.

[@3drumsticks]

I bet you could attach that bottle shelf thing vertically against the side and have that as your dedicated internal bottle holder! (think of it like the Vanquest panels in a Javelin 18) I just purchased a pack but I wish I could have seen this earlier. Lol that camo looks awesome AND the matching hook org panel too.

[@toodamnskippy6220]

Clever idea for water bottles. Nice intro George, you’re going to cost me some more money!

[@thatchanguy]

This is a fantastic review. Thanks for highlighting and discovering these brands for us!

[@Ike_C]

George, Thank you for giving a nice chunk of space to the little guys. They are typically the source of great innovation and design. This is really a nice looking bag. You mentioned that it’s got a look we’ve seen before, but there’s no shame in putting the best ideas together in a single bag. Actually it’s sort of what we are all seeking! Two comments - Given the second set of zippers for the main compartment, how easy or difficult is it to access the water bottle without fully opening the pack? Also, those straps look interesting. Please let us know how they feel after some use. I know of a couple of makers who use a thinner strap that is super comfortable, so it can be done well. And I have to add, you’ve got the best bag reviews on the ‘Tube, well done. Been watching you from the beginning and it keeps getting better. Thanks

[@marianthelibrarian2274]

Always have to watch George's videos to the very end because sometimes there's a treat there

[@tonyfraser3704]

George , i love your vids and i base a lot of my back pack purchase after looking at your reviews , but the stick from the rear view makes a 18 litre pack look like a 30 litter . thanks for the hard work and honest reviews , its refreshing to see .

[@mcbhomis]

Keep bringing the little guys to us. Love seeing the new stuff.

[@jbarres80]

bag is nice and color way is fire but need a bottle holder on outside imo

[@iamnoprophet]

Elias is the man. Super creative and hard working. My boys buy school packs from him and he made me a sick workout sandbag that would make brute force weep.

[@snoop3239]

I love this! Thanks for supporting small business.

[@01cthompson]

I love your intros. That is a cool bag. It looks like a true 18 liter pack.

[@michellestephenson1680]

I am really liking the quality of your video, but could I recommend adding closed captions? It would help so much with those of your viewers with hearing difficulties! Thank you for the work you put into this.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for that!

[@johnreed6856]

I used to have a whole mil spec night desert camo outfit.. the jacket was close to a duster style..... awesome looking pack!!

[@mathias5171]

Cool bag. Always looking for small, American made products to support.

[@boredandagitated]

Shoulda gone full LBT copy and added the water bottle pockets, they’re so useful. In my LBT Daypack I use one for water bottle and the other to hold my keys and little knickknacks. Snacks and stuff, odds and ends. Anything I can’t fit in the pack or just need to get out of my hands very quickly

[@M4k51m]

Hello, please tell me the size of the backpack (height / width / depth)

[@NobleSoljah]

Love the small brand USA 🇺🇸 made packs, it’s simple and awesome.. great showcase on this George 🤙🏽

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for watching!

[@mr.thompson2873]

@George Defined...great overview of the bag, placing my order ASAP!

[@jonathansevert8400]

You are super cool George. Thanks for sharing your stuff with us.

[@QWvid]

That's really great overview (as "it is not a review") and thanks a lot for making it.

[@beckyjohnson187]

Love the colorway 🤩. Way to go OT 🎉🎉

[@myles7701]

Just placed my order with Elias!

[@Thaitaniumchai]

Just subbed and that little water bottle compartment just sold me, guess I gotta replace my work bag now😂

[@dr.sneaky400]

I was lucky enough to snag a prototype of his, dude is top of the game for sure. Better materials, hardware, and stitching than most mass production bags. You can tell how much thought went into his original designs. Can’t wait to snag a new one soon!

[@TheMacbu]

Great review, thanks a lot! I love that backpack, it's really very well done. Thumbs up!

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks for watching!

[@BraiytryeneGibbons]

Mystery ranch has some good packs . I like the material of that green pack . Good review .

[@warlantactical]

I like the colors but How is the padding on those straps they looked floppy meaning not closed cell foam ?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

They are somewhat thin in width and in padding.

[@samwebb585]

That thing is finished better than every mass production bag I've ever seen. Damn, dude. It's one thing supporting small because it's their hopes and dreams rather than some crappy corporate target, but it's another doing it because the product is finished that well.

[@bharmer22]

Almost at 20K!!!!

[@oscar6755]

How’s the laptop suspension? You ever thinking of reviewing this pack? Since you said this was not a review. Looks amazing!!! George you got some of the best reviews hands down.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

The laptop section was not suspended.. This was more a showcase.

[@0malchos0]

What price?, or this is prothotype?.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

It's a custom bag.. you have to contact Elias for pricing..

[@dameonerichathway2298]

There is no website…☹️

[@jwilliamson421]

Have you ever reviewed the hidden woodsman stuff? Good stuff thanks again.

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I haven't.. I would love too...

[@High_Key]

Wow this backpack is very intriguing to me.

[@colterdarilek5155]

Can you review the yeti backpack

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Okay let me order this thing..lol

[@andyd9199]

How do you purchase his stuff

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Message him on Instagram and he will revert

[@spoke1183]

price?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

It's a custom pack so prices are different

[@vinroc]

Nice alternative to a goruck 👏

[@jon-seattle]

George, I just found your channel! What’s your best recommendation for a gym backpack? I need to bring a water bottle, change of clothes, toiletries and room for my wallet and keys. Looks are important, so I want something unique and stylish. Thanks, Jon

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

I like the Aer Capsule pack for the gym.

[@oakridgereview1359]

I absolutely fucking LOVE my bags! I've got another Draw String gym bag and a duffle coming! Probably another Backpack too, cause why not?!

[@eliaswoods998]

Ayeee

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Thanks Bo.. Can't wait to see more of your videos!!

[@angrymike493]

U got me. I’m the everything looks like a goruck guy hahaha

[@28ny]

So were you going to say it's kind of Green Monkey-ish?

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Nope..what??

[@SerialEater274]

Update: these are tough to get ahold of 😭 George! Sell me yours? You know you don't need it 😉

[@РусланПопченя-ь4з]

[@DocDigg]

Dude, you’re the shit

[@gearwhoresanonymous]

This is pretty much a straight knockoff of my Short Bus I did with SUPDEF. It’s so blatant and obvious. Good lord.

[@sondrehyesen5243]

Shut up and take my money! 8O

[@gsansoucie]

Nice but I really need to stop watching your videos, we are trying to downsize. That desert night camo looks great. I need to look through all our boxes as we downsize, I brought back my desert night camo jacket from the gulf war and used it for a while and packed it away and lost it.
