love the vid thank u for the list

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

A full size edc water bottle is different to a lot of people, might be more helpful to ease he volume. I’d never heard of mission workshop and whilst I think the bag is ugly, I like the function of those front pockets. I’m a tech pouch person but would definitely use those ones on the bag because they look really well made and thought out. Thanks for sharing!

[@branjobu96]

The new Aer City Pack Pro is also a good contender! Would love to see you guys review it :)

[@madzyadzy07]

I’ve used the Bellroy transit workpack for about 6 months and love it. Only gripe is the straps. They have some proprietary plastic clasp that is meant to hold the straps in place but for me, they still slip as I walk to work.

[@FunWithBags]

This is a known issue Bellroy have admitted to. Those buckles are alloy not plastic BTW

[@Salty_Biscuitz88]

The bag itself is well made but its heavy as hell on its own.

[@ChoulLeong]

I have a Transit workpack and a transit backpack from Bellroy. The shoulder strap will loosen, and backpack gets lower and lower even as i walk and move my shoulder... I wasn't carrying a very heavy load and just 15inch laptop, afew textbooks, a 500ml water bottle and some small accessories, weight total of less than 4kg. Bellroy's shoulder straps have been a problem since I bought both my backpacks from them in October 2021. It's a major design and materials flaws and frustrating when using their bag on a daily basis. I hope viewers make sure that this problem is fixed before buying. Anyway, as of December 2022, Bellroy offers no solution to that.

[@TaoDeChing-ls5gz]

Well articulated script.

[@melissasarcon1151]

Please do a review of wheeled backpacks. Thank you!

[@Ruinour]

Black Ember Forge should be on here.

[@RandomWalker1995]

I am recommending black ember shadow 22 for work. And is completely waterproof like completely.

[@876ashes8]

Looks like you aren’t reviewing the new 2022 version of the CPL24 (the version says 2021 in the video). Not sure how that affects the review information on the sturdiness of the frame sheet or the sweatiness of the back panel (since that has been updated). I’d be curious to know if the new version would rate better here. It seems specifically pertinent here given that this list is for 2022 and the new bag has been out for months and this was posted 6 days ago.

[@calebcaleb7886]

i’m really looking for a good edc backpack with a lot of secret pockets/stash pockets any recommendations?

[@RustyBrakes]

I know people are asking for lighter backgrounds still, but I did notice it's a good improvement from some other videos! just a touch lighter and it'll be perfect

[@BrainFlipp]

Which is the EDC pouch that you are using in this video?

[@shahnazparveen449]

I like all the black products. But it will be great if you change the background to light grey or grey. It’s difficult to see the details with the black background.

[@sneakergearz]

The CPL24 you went over is the v3. Also, adding Alpha One Niner and their new Whitely is one of the best options out there right now. Awesome production value.

[@prashaanthkr]

I think it is the v2. I've got the v3 and don't believe it's the same! For one, the back panel looks quite different.

[@Dreamcatcher_SilentNight]

That's v2. The material of the v3 and back panel are way better than previous version.

[@johnLee-bb2do]

Yes it is

[@microvizart]

8:28 what do you guys mean here? I'm pretty confient that all the zippers on Transit Workpack are PU coated hence waterproof. Am I understanding this wrongly?

[@LucidButler]

What water bottle is that? Just before 14min into the video.

[@frank21cn1]

This channel deserves more subs. Good work.

[@wizerdjuice9589]

Any have a shoulder strap?

[@HanungMerahbara]

Is that Olympus XA2?

[@eb7900]

What kind of water bottle is that?

[@K-Kratos]

cool

[@boy7312]

What's name of the gray jacket the presenter is wearing?

[@Hiconsumption]

That's the Vuori Soco Zip Up in Oregano - fave.co/2YUfGgG

[@lampexxl8599]

Some people say the Authority Pack Deluxe has a false bottom, just not a very good one. So how is it? I plan to use my MacBook Pro with a sleeve inside the compartment, so is it really something to worry about?

[@sirofsauce4978]

Last one ong

[@RN-jo8zt]

what about subterra thule?

[@NealPageNPPHOTO]

Mission pack is now $535

[@kirso]

Where is Minaal :(

[@paullin178]

I did not ask for most expensive backpack 2023.

[@nivektek2681]

Can be used in travel bag please? How much each of them please?where can i buy online or actual stores please?

[@Hiconsumption]

All of the pricing/purchasing information can be found in the description below the video!

[@kenostaphos]

GR1 beats these when coupled with organizers.

[@senpairag88]

if not for the boxy look.

[@lukexx7017]

How to buy it?

[@Hiconsumption]

Purchase links are in the description 👍

[@naphtal]

Still prefer the Nomatic Backpack.

[@tommypoopums]

This video is hard on both the eyes and ears. The lighting is dark and the audio muddy. You probably want to step back from the mic and talk louder and clearer, and mix the sound a bit brighter.

This is good feedback

tommy is completely right here

That’s a little harsh. I think it was pretty decent

[@colinm1502]

Average office worker. Ha. Might use one of these.

[@Jordan-wi7cg]

Way tooooo much base added in the mic. Tone it down for the future!

[@vrvrvr81]

2023 update?

[@MrMike-zb9fr]

all these backpack designers never travel by subway or walk in crowded areas, all well designed that backpacks give too much unwanted access...

[@jamesheigh9565]

Peak design everyday 30L or 20L win all of these.

[@mehtabbhogal397]

@Work Briggs and Riley destroys all of these…

[@ovDarkness]

I have a suggestion. Not all of us do only girls stuff on our laptops ( so Apple is a no go) , so could you please check how 17" workstations (like Dell Precision 7780) fit inside those bags? It's very difficult to find a good bag for this 10k USD beast.

[@lampexxl8599]

The Authority Pack Deluxe is suitable for 17" notebooks.

[@GiorgiKTV]

Sometimes, I think that I should make my own KZbin channel. When I watch these videos, they all have the same information. Buying Aer, I found more minus than any videos say. Sometimes I think they don't even use these bags before making videos.

[@standrews5356]

Terrible lighting for product reviews
