I’ve watched just about every video you’ve released, this one has a charm and quality to it above all the rest. I just wanted to say how happy this video made me, it wasn’t so much the backpack or EDC(although very fun to watch!), but how strongly your personality comes through. Just wanted to say I thought it was great!

I totally agree that this is one of your best videos! The music and pacing especially during the first half of this one are on point. I generally watch everything at x2 speed but watched this at 1x just because the ambience was so enjoyable and it was obvious you were really excited to share your setup.

Thank you so much for this review! My faithful EDC of over 8 years was falling apart and I reluctantly started searching for a replacement. I watched so many videos and reviews and eventually narrowed it down to this Bellroy as a strong contender. Your review was the one that finally convinced me to go for it and I'm so glad I did. The backpack is great and after a few weeks of use I feel assured that I've invested in a bag that's going to last me just as long as my last one, if not longer. Thanks for the nice discount also :)

Love these products & organization ideas! This resonates to my “essentialism nature” & I’ll definitely create better bag setups moving forward. Liked the video, as usual! 😊❤

Thanks so much! Nothing like a streamlined setup 😄

I have this bag and really like it a lot, everything you said is true and the top and tech pockets are really ingenious I only have 3 small gripes about it: 1. I’ve been spoiled by Evergoods’ back panel and shoulder straps, and really wish the back and shoulders for the Bellroy were stiffer or more robust 2. There is a known issue with the shoulder strap adjusters coming loose since there is nothing to hold them in place when they aren’t “taut”, so if your bag is on the ground they might come loose and you’ll have to readjust 3. The lack of external water bottle pocket helps keep the bag looking tidy but if you carry a bigger bottle you won’t be able to fit it into the internal pockets Besides those this bag is close to being a perfect everything bag and definitely the best for the urban look

Thank you for the clip!! Well done!

Nothing is nicer for a bag setup than an organizer pouch that perfectly fits that bag in a few orientations. Evergoods has this type of detail as well but I've heard only positives about Bellroy. I'm glad you made the video and truly get to use that bag consistently for years to come.

My backpacks (fjallraven Raven 20L) top pocket is where I store my keys, earbuds, and a little tin of mints. I have a lot of keys between my three jobs, and I can't keep them all on my keyring with my car fab. So I just have exterior door keys on my actual key ring, and everything else on separate rings in the pocket. I also keep my key for my wife's car in there. It's a great place for stuff like that.

@@NicholasGarofola it's a good bag for sure, but I have two complains: 1. It does not stand up very well. You either have to lean it against something or lay it down flat. 2. The mesh pockets inside bulk up pretty quickly, and it really gets in the way of the main compartment of you have more than a couple small things in them.

Epic video about an epic backpack.

Love this video especially the details about your tech. Really need to update mine. I am living in France with my family this summer with just one VeraBradley flowery cotton quilted backpack designed for college kids to use for books.

Hello Nicholas. Can you make a video on about your life and also about how minimalism has affected your relationships. I want to learn about the man I am learning from.❤

I hit subscribe because you said to Sweet Chin Music it. That's just the vibe I'm looking for, and I'm glad I found it.

Try the A7 memobottle for the side pocket of your bag.

I was looking at the transit workpack, its almost there, but I really want a luggage pass through cause on the few occasions I do need one, its just too annoying not having one. For just work laptop carry I use a dsptch slingpack or waterfield briefcase depending on how I'm dressed. When I need more capacity, I use an Evade 1.5, which is a little heavy but can carry pretty much anything. The moment 28L and tortuga laptop have caught my eye cause they are set up for travel, but are lighter than my current bag.

Depends on how big your luggage is, the top handle can act as pass through as well.

I got a Jansport bag that used to be my brother's ex-girlfriend's bag she left it behind in the laundry room and I looked at it and it was perfectly usable I've had it for at least a decade and it's still going strong it's the perfect size I do want to buy another one that is more up-to-date but I don't need it right now cuz I just don't have the stuff I need/want to put in it

What are your thoughts on efficiency vs minimalist aesthetic. Also how do you apply this to you PC set I’m constantly removing and adding. monitors 2 screens + a laptop is probably more efficient for my job, but I go down to just my laptop as sometimes I find it helps me focus not just on slowing me down but also the declutter helps me focus.

@NicholasGarofola

Жыл бұрын

I think you could have both. I don’t currently have a PC (just a monitor for my laptop), but I think I were more focused with having just my laptop, I’d go with that.

Great video, very relevant to myself recently in I want a new bag. Biggest consideration you’ve touched on is hopefully it’ll be an investment for the long term, in that I’d like it to be the last time I’ll buy a new one! Durability, aesthetics and functionality. I’m going for the Thule Aion 28l, covering all bases, as well as a minimalist travel pack. However, your new setup looks great, nice bag, never really considered Belroy. You have made me reconsider a tech bad addition, instead of everything everywhere I’ll have to root in the bag for, all in one place makes so much more sense, but just didn’t cross my mind until now. Diolch!

Having everything in a little pouch is really convenient. And yeah the quality of Bellroy is something you can just feel. I’ve been using them for years before this partnership and everything has held up great

Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi,oi,oi !!!

I just reworked my Go (to work) Bag; here’s my current set up omitting phone wallet keys headphones multi tool and water bottle cause I aways have those. My employee ID on a quick clip. IDs have to be on your person so I only leave it on the bag when I’m at home, so I never have to run around looking for my badge. Hard plastic paper folder for work documents or my I9 docs. Notebook for training or SOP notes. Good clicky top pens Emergency bad breath kit. Floss, mouthwash, gum and altoids. All travel size. Emergency needle thread and tide stick Covert cash stash, including snack machine quarters :P Travel size screen cleaner. Chapstick, dude wipes, and hand sanitizer Preferred allergy med, and tissues Travel size is the key, just enough items that if I run late I won’t go all day without fresh teeth or pits. And can clean up in case of a surprise meeting.

Just got this myself i love it until i put it on. sadly another backpack that just doesn't have long enough straps. i am admittedly tall and boxy but im hardly a freak. oddly think the straps are pretty thin too which i never understand. Shame as literally eveything else about it is awesome. I want to love it

I have this bag, and yes I did experience the slipping issue (carrying my workstation laptop about 3kg + lunch box + tech bag and a water bottle) . I emailed Bellroy directly and they sent me a webkeeper. My weightload is about 4-5kg depending on the water bottle im carrying (either a 500ml tumblr or my lululelmon 1l bottle). It still experience slipping if i carrying my 3kg laptop, but if it isnt in the bag, it doesn't really slip. So yeah the webber works if you're not carrying anything toooooo heavy like me.

Just bought it! How big is the space for the water bottle and are the straps good or do they slip
