Bellroy Classic Backpack Plus (24L) Review
"Classic. Satisfying."
The Classic Backpack Plus from Bellroy has a clean aesthetic, lots of organization and some excellent build and materials… well suited to be your everyday carry for work.
- Very sturdy materials — you’ll notice as soon as you touch the fabric that it’s got a rugged durable feeling… even though it looks refined and classy.
- Classic and clean look — solid.
- Lots of organization — quick access, laptop pocket with internal pocket, main compartment with internal pocket and water bottle pocket.
- On the sturdy side of comfortable — the materials of the shoulder straps are sturdy and feel well made. They aren’t mushy or overly soft. I, personally, like that, you may not.

What I like
- Very sturdy, dense, water-resistant fabric, the same stuff as the Shift backpack. Rugged and durable, but it looks refined.
- Classic, clean look. A little high society. Great for commuting to work.
- Leather on the handles, straps with rigid padding, and a little lumbar support on the back.
- Lots of organization: quick access, laptop pocket with an internal pocket, main compartment pocket and a water bottle pocket.
- Stretchy mesh inside the pockets.
Watch for
- The straps are on the sturdy side, not mushy. I like that; you may not.
- I actually prefer the smaller Bellroy Classic Backpack.
