With it’s size, styling, durability and feature set at first glance I thought that this is the perfect everyday carry backpack. But does it deliver?
Also stay to the end for the giveaway winner announcement.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
LINKS:
For all my videos I decided not to include links for the products. Everyone is living in different countries and therefore has to deal with different shipping and customs fees. That is why I would advice everyone just to Google the product within their country to find the best deals.
For instance: I live in Germany, It wouldn’t make sense to give you a German link while you might be living in USA or Asia. I hope that is understandable.
FULL DISCLOSURE:
This video is not sponsored. While I sometimes get bags for free, I usually have to pay custom fees and in addition to that all my videos have lots of production costs. Therefore I invest my own money into all of these video and have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

Hey du machst echt gute videos
With so many bag reviews are you buying them all? I imagine going through so many would be a hassle… Buying and selling them off?
Good stuff! I’m also still looking for the “perfect” EDC backpack (for work), but I still can’t find one that stops the quest… I just want a bag for my camera gear AND laptop, in the most compact formfactor…
great vid!!
Glad your back. Hope familys ok
Please do one on the Errant backpack please!
Quick to the point yet insightful! Have you ever considered reviewing the Goruck Bullet backpacks? There are hardly any around! Though I know it doesn’t really match your lifestyle (know that probably from most of your videos)…
I still think 26 l Tom bihn backpack
Great review.
This backpack wasn’t as impressive from inside as it looked from outside.
This looked like the store bought backpack from inside like he ones Nike/Adidas/Puma/etc. Only difference being the quality being superior than those.

Hey, thank for your videos.
Loved your honesty about the pacsafe bag and its lack of features.
I’m looking for a bag which is big enough to fit everything I need while I’m traveling but compact enough to fit as a carry on bag.
Has security features for anti theft so I don’t have to worry about valuables getting stolen and one which I can organise everything so all my gadgets, wires, notebooks are all just stuffed in the same place and are organised well
Which bag would you recommend for this?
Design in Hong Kong, made in Guangdong china.
Where to purchase this bag? I can’t find it!
5:57 thanks for saying my name right the first time most Americans don’t get it right at all and usually takes 3 or 4 times or in some cases I just ask they call me Richie. yeah thanks for the shout out on the video I will be super ready to use the bag when it comes.
Did you find the X-pac material crinkly/noisy with a paper like texture? or was it closer to cloth?
Great video
as you always state, there will always be tradeoffs. thanks for sharing.
Guy, You need a Cascade Wallet from Mani Wonders for your self. Check out and you will thank me
Ayy those sneaks are fresh! Another great video and content Bo. Cheers!
awesome! please review the DSPTCH Daypack!
Bo, Make a review of Vertx Gamut, please!
