The Bellroy Classic Backpack V2 is definitely an improvement from its original, and that's saying something because it's a hard feat to make an improvement on something that's already very good. The Classic Backpack V2 continues to be a slim, streamlined and very functional backpack while still being a delight to the eyes and also a delight to use every day.

It would be awesome to see a direct comparison of campus, classic, and classic plus. :)

Ed... you took too long to review this, so I went ahead and bought it 3 months ago... i love it. Still enjoyed your video though!

[@rheuthium]

Same here. Great bag and great video!

Hahaha yeah a bit behind on our Bellroy releases - but slowly getting there! Thanks for watching :) - Ed

@@RushfasterTV Can this backpack fit an A3 size slim display book? If not, do you know of any Bellroy bags that would be big enough?

[@debo2189]

great video! thank you so much. I am just wondering if this will look huge on me since I am 5'6

[@RushfasterTV]

Hi there! It shouldn't look too large on you. For reference, I suggest checkin gout the photo here: bit.ly/bellroyclassicv2. The girl model on the photo is also 5'6". The left bag is the 16L, middle is 20L, and the right on is the 24L. Hope that helps! Cheers.

Glad you like it Val! :) - Ed

Great to see the inside of the backpack, though I don't carry beer daily to work so I'm not sure I can relate :).

ED DUDE! Lets see the Bellroy Apex!

[@RushfasterTV]

YES! Keen to get out hands on those soon :) - Ed

[@withlogin]

I have bought this one, but in black color and I am really disappointed by how main compartment zippers work. that material that covers the zippers always gets stuck and block zipper from opening or closing. not a smooth work at all(

[@guppy77]

seems like this video is out of date as the current v2 has no leather and is made of all Looma Weave. wonder what other changes there are.

[@Melissa-NZ]

You are so so good-looking

[@NetvoTV]

How can a backpack where you have to drop your water bottle in the bottom of interior which mixed with all the papers and no water resistant thing is an upgrade and better than backpack with e ted all water bottle pocket? Seem like they try to overdo the aesthetic thing and keep market it is better that way! Over hyped!

[@mh0Ang95]

Ed, I want to ask, what is the dimension for the notebook/tablet sleeve compartment? I wonder if it can fit the 11 inch iPad Pro from 2018. Thank you!

[@KM-yl9lc]

Great review. I’m gonna order one. Also, what brand is your wallet ?

[@elijah6568]

Quick question, does this back panel have a curve to the bottom to it (if you understand what I mean... kinda explained that poorly) similar to other bellroy backpacks?

[@RushfasterTV]

Yes it does have the curved lumbar support! Good pickup question - I didn't mention it in the video 😢 - Ed

[@RuralMallu]

This will perfect for kids

[@RushfasterTV]

Yeah could be good for them! Might be a bit of an expensive bag for primary school kids, but for high school and university this would be great! - Ed

[@derrickloh34]

can you do a size comparison for Bellyroy classic backpack V2 vs Bellroy campus backpack? THANK YOU !

[@mhdbsl]

Can the ipad compartment fit an 11" ipad pro?

[@hazelyuan4410]

Does it fit with the new MacBook Pro 16?;)

[@MichaelMarmo]

I want to love this bag, but no external water bottle pouch hurts.

[@RushfasterTV]

Yeah i agree with you - probably the 1 thing it's missing! - Ed

[@mohdroshan732]

Not able to find this colour, any help??

[@RushfasterTV]

This is the Desert Ochre colour. Sadly, I was not able to find it in AU.

[@dxb_coder]

Does it fit the 16 inch laptop?

[@fmartinez128]

which size (capacity) is this review on?

[@withlogin]

Which one will you’d choose as edc? Bellroy classic backpack v2 or aer day pack 2?

[@RushfasterTV]

I'd choose the Aer Day Pack 2 based on functionality and materials. But I do really like the aesthetic and colours available from the Bellroy Classic V2. - Ed

[@arturofernandezbarnes301]

Hi there, I ordered the Classic Backpack Premium and I found the shoulder straps very uncomfortable. They were 'cutting' into my shoulder muscles as the separation was small and it was not angled. Do you think this one will be more comfortable?

[@RushfasterTV]

Hmmm I think they V2 and the premium did come out at roughly similar times. So I'm not sure if there will be much difference between the two regarding the shoulder straps. Hope that helps! - Ed

[@izyanali1635]

Ed, I was wondering if this bag could be used for like 7 inches worth of material for a High school student? I'm going next year, and knowing if this backpack is okay for 'heavy-duty...'

[@RushfasterTV]

7 inches worth might be tricky. The bag's total depth is 18cm so it'll be quite a tight fit. I'd suggest looking at a slightly bigger bag from Bellroy if you're looking for a heavier and bigger carry. Hope that helps! - Ed

Would you recommend this or the Campus to serve as a work backpack?

[@RushfasterTV]

Yep! Great options for work especially if you just want a minimalist look that doesn't look too full on. - Ed

[@adripdrip3064]

Is this backpack water-resistant ?

[@RushfasterTV]

Yes water resistant to a degree, but definitely not waterproof. I'd strongly recommend getting a rain fly to go with the bag if you're worried about rain protection. Hope that helps - Ed

[@Simon-pl2zi]

the floppy zip line is annoying it makes it tricky to zip and unzip

[@twilightanndanaez]

Ok stoppppppp, i was watching a bunch of other bellroy reviews, and the comments were talking about this video and were like, "So yea i bought it due to beer guy review"

[@RushfasterTV]

Pretty much

[@matttt1212]

Need a recommendation... this bag or the classic backpack plus...?

[@zino0007]

Backpack plus Shoulders straps are really really uncomfortable

[@RushfasterTV]

Really depends what you need it for, the Backpack Plus has extra capacity, is bigger and the organisation is increased. But if you don't need any of those things, I'd say stick with the standard Backpack. Hope that helps! :) - Ed

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

Need a recommendation on the Classic V-2 vs the Premium Classic? What do you gain other than a leather bottom on the Premium.... Appreciate your assistance in advance, thanks

[@TheMaejor]

The only visual difference would be the padded back which is more of a mesh weave.

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

Ryan Oh Thanks for the info, really trying to decide on which one....

[@RushfasterTV]

Yep agree with Ryan, there isn't a whole lot of functional difference in the premium versions from Bellroy. They're mainly a facelift with more premium materials (like more leather, contrast webbing on the padded back). The only notable difference that affects the functionality is that the keyclip is different. Other than that, I can't see too much difference. This would be a purchase more for the aesthetic beholder. Hope that helps! - Ed

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

[@michaeltrujillo9092]

Not a real review, you basically make commercials for products. Maybe try using this stuff to give viewers an actual review....

[@RushfasterTV]

Heya Michael, yeah we try not to call these videos reviews, we typically call them walkthroughs because we want give a clear demonstration of a product, show every nook and cranny and tell you all the info you need to know about it. Sometimes we give people some tips, advice and personal reviewing but above all it's primarily a product walkthrough to help people be more informed and make better buying decisions on. If we primarily made product reviews, then yeah our approach would be very different. But definitely agree with you that more personal opinions about the products we do walkthroughs on would help! But we try to be objective as we can with our walkthroughs. Thanks for understanding - and watching! Cheers, Ed
