Bellroy Classic Backpack (20L) Review

A perfectly sized bag for tight daily carry packed up in a very modern, functional package. Now available in premium materials.

• Perfect little size for my daily carry needs. Plus it looks very sleek… modern but classic. It really is a stylish bag.
• The materials all feel more than quality, especially the details. The canvas feels solid, straps have a nice feeling to the touch, the leather handle is excellent. And then the inside pockets have a very plush, stretchy mesh that sets the whole thing into a different category of… uh… niceness, I guess.
• Fits up to a 15″ laptop. Very easy to get mine in and out.
• NOTE: this is one of my favorite simple laptop bags of all time and I actually prefer it to Bellroy’s classic backpack plus.
• BUT #1: I wish there was one more pocket.
• BUT #2: this quick access pocket is challenging.

Silhouette Perfection

Incredible materials, not just on the outside. The liner feels insane and different in a very good way. Lots of organization — kit this thing out however you want, hidden pockets, visible pockets, very well thought through. An incredible silhouette — I just love the shape of this bag. Oh, also, RAD back panel.

Alpaka Traverse 30L

Burly Tech

Super well designed for EDC. Durable exteriors and interiors with nice details. Check the video to see how the pocketing works because it's nicely dialed in. Hideable water bottle pocket (with insanely cool stretch mesh). Great side "always need you never want to see you" compartment. Cozy straps, etc. Super solid and worthy companion.

Able Carry Max

Solid & Soft

Really lovely and thoughtfully crafted bag. Tons of organization, excellent comfort (super cushy straps), large enough for bigger EDC and travel needs but designed in a way that doesn't make it look funky when it's not packed out. Looks excellent, in fact. Super unique in its "softness." Watch the vid to get a sense of what I mean.

Tortuga Daily Carry Pro

Light & Durable

You'll notice two things immediately: the durability and the lightweightness. Then you get into it and it's got surprising capacity and very intentional organization. It's the perfect kind of organization for me personally when I'm living out of a bag. Gonna last a real long time. Durable, organized, lightweight, insane utility. Also, really fk'n comfy.

Sympl Commuter Backpack 20L

Goldilocks

The epitome of a tech EDC backpack. Tons of org. Materials that will outlast you. Sleek looks. Comfy. Surprisingly roomy. Minimal aesthetics. Available in two sizes (and two materials). INSANE top tech taco organizer/accordion thingy that becomes your end all and be all… it's like a tech pouch built in. Stands up real well.
