The Bellroy Apex Backpack - A Decade Of Design

[@kaneshirosan1642]

I thought Peak Design was overpriced, Bellroy is taking it to another level!

[@RushfasterTV]

It's a pricey bag, but we're happy to see the 10 year warranty. - Daniel

[@aggaviriyo790]

@@RushfasterTV I'm still wondering why they don't just make it a lifetime warranty. Does it have anything to do with leather?

[@kuterv]

Yeah, does not worth it. Black ember offers better quality for less.

[@RushfasterTV]

Black Ember is indeed an amazing brand. - Daniel.

[@RushfasterTV]

Usually, there are legalities around offering a lifetime warranty as sometimes that could be misleading.

[@PKDN215]

Woo! Thanks for launching this video. I’m disappointed there was no beer capacity test but i will assume thats because you’ve been drinking it while in quarantine. Stay safe!

[@RushfasterTV]

Great point. We really need to bring back the beer.

[@AliHamdhan]

Love bellroy, been using (and still I am) for some years, durable and high quality with functional design, thank you for taking the time for making this vlog

[@toby4050]

These videos are so impressive. Every. Time. Your channel is criminally underrated, keep up the fantastic content 👊🏽

[@RushfasterTV]

Thanks Purple Whale

[@AaleenMurtezaa]

You gave me such a boutique experience with your presentation very impressed!

[@aggaviriyo790]

It's more of a feature video rather than a review. But it's beautifully fone nonetheless tho

[@l33t1ee7]

Oh my word. I'm such a fan of Bellroy products. Might ask for one of these for Christmas. Thanks for the review

[@l33t1ee7]

Just saw the price... might give it a miss 😂

[@RushfasterTV]

Any time!

[@jedexc]

Really enjoying your reviews. Would be good to also hear critical/cons of the bag because it’s not likely to be perfect.

[@NetvoTV]

Why they just use a hook for the top flap and no zipper or magnet? How can that be secure?

[@jamesmaitland4614]

The bag is growing on me however not a fan of the shape of the straps, dreading getting anything on that cream interior and that eye watering price!

[@julieromain9779]

What’s the reference or the link to buy the 2sd One(the blue) it looks a bit smaller and that’s the perfect size ! Thank’s !

[@ejisloco1051]

Does this have a stand alone capability like the recon backpack?

[@BrandonBaecker]

If you have bottles in both bottle pockets, how much space is left in the interior between the bottle pockets? How much space to they rob?

[@zaccheong4571]

How does it go against Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2?

[@RushfasterTV]

Both the Bellroy Apex Backpack and the Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 are exceptional choices for those seeking a premium backpack with versatile features and durable construction. The decision between the two ultimately comes down to personal preferences regarding design aesthetics, organization features, and budget considerations.

[@arunp7758]

will this look good on 5.2 height ?

[@jemp1299]

I wish this has a compact version just like their other bags.

[@RushfasterTV]

Hoping for this one, too. Cheers!

[@JayMathy]

Great review! Your top magnets seem much stronger than mine. The magnets on my bag don’t even latch on their own, which is quite disappointing for a bag of this price.

[@RushfasterTV]

Thanks for watching. Are you talking about your Bellroy Apex Backpack? - Prikee

[@JayMathy]

@@RushfasterTV yes! The two magnets at the top are very weak and they usually don’t connect when I close it

[@Milanor]

They are sure very proud of their product Jesus Christ...

[@AvishayGor]

How does it compare to peak design’s everyday bp v2? Is there a justified (almost 200$) difference? 200$ is a price of a premium backpack on its own, let alone a 449$ backpack. Imo peak design’s bp is far more functional but I could be wrong

[@scaz83]

Good review thanks, would never buy the Apex but interested whether they plan bring out other similar bags in that range.

[@RushfasterTV]

Hopefully they keep APEX going as the best of the best in a few diff sizes and shapes... and their features filter down throughout the lines over time.

[@s2kologist]

How does the size of the apex compare to the studio?

[@RushfasterTV]

Apex is much bigger (26L). The studio is a fairly small backpack at 18L capacity. It's mainly because the bag is fairly slim and can't expand out too much. - Ed

[@s2kologist]

@@RushfasterTV thanks!

[@andrewlane8081]

Can you advise if the Tech Folio fits in laptop sleeve? Bellroy advertise that the folio fits in all bags but it didn’t fit in my Shift :(

[@rptempmail1]

hi thanks for yet another awesome review. i am interested in this bag but i need to carry a small compact umbrella for rainy days. i'd be hesitant to store a wt umbrella inside the internal side pockets. thus, can you please indicate if a small compact umbrella would fit in any of the side external pockets? thanks again!

[@RushfasterTV]

Great question - unfortunately the side pocket is probably gonna be too small for a compact umbrella. - Ed

[@rptempmail1]

@@RushfasterTV many thanks for your response and please keep up your excellent reviews!

[@WolverineTradez]

Great review

[@SaeminAhn]

Does the bag actually have shoe storage? thank you! Any bags you'd recommend that have shoe storage

[@aggaviriyo790]

[@headphoneboy]

Why did you say “through their partner company, Carryology” in the intro? Does Bellroy own Carryology?

[@RushfasterTV]

In a sense yes - they share the same founders! More about that here: www.carryology.com/about/ - Ed

[@shunster]

Could you do a review of the Evergoods Civic Half Zip (CHZ) 22L?

[@RushfasterTV]

We'll look into it!

[@KarlHeindel]

The first 3 minutes sounds like a commercial, not like a review. And after the commercial part, there comes a description of the bag. Again, no review. But at this price tag, I need a really honest review, how should I decide to buy the bag, despite the fact that I can't the the bag in real before buying?

[@aggaviriyo790]

It ain't really a review. It's more like a feat vid. But still good tho. It gives me a lot of information and nothing too biased coz this bag honestly look so beautiful and meticulously crafted

[@efragione]

Love the channel!! There is no way this bag is worth that much. You are paying for the brand and the materials. Outside of that, there are plenty of other options that offer similar quality for a cheaper price.

[@aggaviriyo790]

Check out the Bellroy Melbourne

[@RushfasterTV]

Melbourne vid up next week too btw.

[@aggaviriyo790]

@@RushfasterTV nice. I'll be waiting

[@Zhupingpingx]

Can you guys do a review on doughnut backpacks please

[@RushfasterTV]

Hmm yeah we've heard of them - if there's enough demand we might give it a crack! :) - Ed

[@BenniGaske]

Great walkthrough! I'd be interested to see a comparison between APEX vs SHIFT MAAP that comment on a features to cost ratio.

[@RushfasterTV]

Great suggestion!

[@lucaschenxi3934]

很喜歡看你講解包包的功能 很細心又很詳細 ^^*

[@bornagainhealthy]

hey, i really enjoyed the quality(editing) of the video and the review ,not much questions left. regarding the apex, i dont really like the look it gives us( the head/top is very wide, it almost reaches the shoulders,lol) but i applaud the design and how it seems very convinient to use on a dailys basis. i will buy it

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey, thanks!

[@danielnguyen4447]

I'm more interested in that wallet, where can I find that?

[@danielnguyen4447]

Nvm stupid me didn't look at the bloody description, keep it up Ed ✌️

[@RushfasterTV]

Thanks man - Daniel

[@bradryanroy]

I'd still go for PeakDesign.

[@aggaviriyo790]

Me too but damn, it they both were at the same price I would go for this everytime. But even with the price difference, this bag still deserves to be among the best

[@exen900]

Nope, not with that straps they still use. I upgraded from V1 to V2 in the hope of more comfort, still uncomfortable and the magnets in the straps really annoy while wearing. For that price I had to send it back, no way I pay 300+ for a uncomfortable bag.

[@aggaviriyo790]

@@exen900 I mean the bag itself already weights in at 2 kg so yeah

@@RushfasterTV thanks : )

[@jaredweiman2987]

For that price, you could buy a GR2.

[@b1rd317]

There is one major problem: how can anyone afford this bag??? It's fantastic but that price tho...

[@BenTramer]

This felt too much like an advertisement

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey Mark, thanks for your feedback. We appreciate it! - John

[@rebeccaw9656]

A sexy looking bag, I like it!

[@RushfasterTV]

So do we!

[@mnmartin73]

Not worth the huge tag price. The only original thing is just the how the flip top latches, other than that there are many great roll top bags with same features at much lower cost.

[@7Archie4]

That kind of bag works on certain environment.. but for environment where there are slashers and thieving.. that won't work.

[@bornagainhealthy]

i was thinking the same. it's easy to open. but i've not seen yet a reviewer aknowledge it.

[@silverchunk]

I love my Bellroy products. But is this overpriced or what? For that price I want full leather not just some shiny straps.

[@Ivanmaradonaaa]

Dude you're married? You look 19

[@RushfasterTV]

Haha.

[@guiom2510]

I've just received it... I'm very very disappointed... The nylon and the color seem faded and washed out... there's a lot of marks, traces on the fabric. It looks like a refurb one !! Having such a bad impression when you just got a bag that costs so much… it is not very good... I'm going to give myself 24 hours to think about it but I think I'm going to send it back.

[@_krakra_]

Guillaume Mouillet : maybe this is just a dust since fabric do attract lint and dust more than ballistic nylon for example. Did you try to clean it off?

[@RushfasterTV]

Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure they won't have refurbs but please check with their CS.

[@_krakra_]

How did you decide at the end?

[@keith.vukasinovich]

Meh... I got a vegetable tanned leather backpack from Marlondo Leather for darn near the same price. Bellroy is smoking crack.

[@sanjacobs6261]

I suspect that the reason your channel isn't growing is that you only sound like you're trying to sell every single thing you look at. You can't be trusted to say what is good and what is bad, since you never mention what worries you have about the product, or what is obviously bad about it. You're repeating a lot of the producer's marketing material, without testing to see how much of it is bullshit.

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey San. Thanks for your feedback. We don't really think of these videos as 'reviews', more of a walkthrough of the features of the gear. We'll be discussing your point with the team next week as it is something we've spoken of before as a team. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with discussing what we don't like/don't understand or would do differently. Thanks again for the feedback. Stay tunned.

[@Ken-dm5xt]

@@my7ek I agree. Sometimes a very thorough walkthrough video is all I need. I'll form an opinion on the product myself.

[@Tony16610]

You do know Rushfaster is a retail store and their business is literally selling bags, right? It wouldn't make much sense for them to look at stuff they don't sell or be overly critical about the stuff they do.

[@lazarosolorzanojr3703]

This is an explanation of the bag and they seem to like it. It’s up to the viewer if they like it or not . If you want them to trash the bag and talk about it’s bad and good , buy one and make a video. He even said it might not be a bag for you. Keep it up Rushfaster

[@sanjacobs6261]

@@Tony16610 Yeah, I know. I'd like to point to LTT. I know the situation is somewhat different, but they shit on their sponsors when they deserve it. This makes me much more likely to trust when they say something is good. But if every video is just "this is great, wow revolutionary new design, breathable materials wow" then all the items feel the same, and nothing seems trustworthy. It's just too salesman-ish. I also think, with more viewers coming in due to more trustworthy content, sales would increase equally. Cudos to Rushfaster though, for taking the critique! :)

[@doi311]

lmao $699

[@RushfasterTV]

Now with a 10 year warranty so $69 a year.

[@hangsu6261]

LMAO the first one and half minute is bullshit. Concept car?! really?? it a company base on leather making product, and you sound like you're reading a script from others.

[@mohammedfaiisal]

Ridiculously overpriced

[@RushfasterTV]

Depends on your value system.

[@Seanonyoutube]

Not a fan of this bag at all. Too much form over function.

[@RushfasterTV]

What's your ideal backpack?

[@Seanonyoutube]

Rushfaster hard to say. Rn I use the Briggs & Riley Kinzie Street large and it’s pretty good. Still has a few quirks but it’s a great pack overall.
