The opening sequence is impressive. Most impressive. Let go of your attachment to other brands and accept the Osprey way. It is your destiny. We shall await your arrival.
Hey brother, I won’t lie, you are an EPIC dude! I freaking LOVE watching your reviews. Probably the BEST I’ve seen. You’re funny, down to earth, knowledgeable and on point ALWAYS giving the impression you’ve spent time researching the item you are highlighting. Like 👍🏻 Like 👍🏻 Like 👍🏻 Like 👍🏻 Like 👍🏻 Keep doing what you do!
I use this bag for school and travel. I like that it’s not extremely easy to get into the bigger storage areas, especially for travel, to help avoid theft. I just wish it was more water resistant.
I just bought this backpack. I am not sure if I made the right choice as a cheaper TNF backpack would have done the job as well. The quality of materials Osprey is using however is outstanding. It also feels great on the back. I made up my mind once I saw George’s review. Thanks dude, you are a quality reviewer.
Hi George. Even though it’s no frills, it’s still a decent rucksack and I like it although it seems a tad expensive at rrrp of $100. $60 is much better. Thanks for the great review. I’ve subscribed now after also watching your review on The Under Armour Hustle 4.0, which I bought for work as my other military style back pack was a bit cumbersome and I wanted a smaller pack that was a bit more fashionable! Lol. Keep em coming mate. Stay safe, keep using that hand sanitizer. Cheers from the U.K.
The water bottle pockets are a game changer. Kinda tricky because i sometimes forget my water bottle is in there, but it's just so amazing to not have to worry about the stupid water bottle falling, specially since i carry a 32oz one.
I agree with the admin pocket could have been better and with two zippers,a extra pouch or pocket would have been nice.The water bottle pockets are nice kind of hidden good for snacks and small things.They don’t fall out as easy but I really like the blue color
At the $60 price point, I think it's all good. The lack of organization allows me to bring some of my own organization to the bag with pouches I've collected over the years. Great work as usual George, thanks. By the way, the closing line should be, "If you didn't like the video, f*** off"
George, your content is always on point, as this informative video shows. But on top of that, the intro was dynamite and really showcases your ever-improving editing skills. Great job!
@@GeorgeDEFINED nah bro u got plenty bags I love. I'm just sayin even when I ain't I terested in the bag I'm watching. Favorite channel next to wealljuggleknives
I think at least 20 views of this review are mine lmao but last week I made the decision and today my Apogee arrived and I'm really happy and impressed with the quality and functionality. Yeah, it could have a lil bit more organization but I believe that's the whole point of this bag, to keep it simple and they achieved that magnificently. The waist strap is removable so no worries with the flapiness. If you adapt yourself to the bag I believe it's just perfect because it can carry enough to get you through a whole weekend but it's also the right size so it's not too big for EDC carry, something that happened to me with TNF Router which is massive for daily use. This bag is just the right size, thanks for helping me make the right choice, George. Your reviews are really good, straight to the point and entertaining. Peace, man!
I have the Centauri Plus, which has since become harder to find vs the regular 22L version. Here's the story. Take the Apogee, then take out the admin pocket, take away the Airscape panel (just a soft padded mesh, not too uncomfortable but not as breathable), replace the water bottle "sleeves" with some simple but large water bottle mesh pockets, add 2 cell phone-sized slip pockets to the front of the document folder in the main compartment, & add an elastic mesh "shove-it" pocket on the front of the bag (like what you see on the Osprey Nebula, Radial, & Metron), add 2 more liters of space & bam, you've got the Centauri Plus.
Hi Men! Help me please I compare Apogee and Quasar and Cant decide. I like how looks Apogee but think that quasar more functional. What do you think which one is better? PS I have bought Radial but unfortunately is too heavy and I want to refund.
Great intro George. Was struggling to pick between Stepout 22 or Apogee 28 for daily backpack. I am 5’9, usually will carry a pair of gym shoes, work clothes and my lunch box. Look forward to hear from you. Cheers
Bro, I absolutely loved this in depth review, you addressed everything most of my questions about this bag and you've convinced me the pull the trigger on it. Just double checking, this color is Sentinel Gray right?
Funny intro dude lol. I just checked Amazon for this pack they had one red one left for $74 ($80 total) I jumped on it. Good video as usual thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Hi George, as a new subscriber I want to say: "Well done, Sir" 👍 But please try to change your mind about the outside bags. In 99% they call them "bottle bags", I'm unhappy with this, because there are much more possibilities for using. I'll purchase the "apogee" for this detail of "deepness", now I can storage my keys, wallet, tissues, tobacco etc. in a much "safer" and "faster" access. Thanks again for the review! Stay healthy 😷 Best regards Uwe
Thanks for the review. Do you think I could fit a 17" laptop into the laptop sleeve? I know its not rated for it but these days even 17inch laptops have slim bezels sooo maybe it would fit?
Damn, it says this bag is really lightweight... 1 lb 13 oz... Do you think its quite large for EDC? It might be a pretty good one bag travel for weekends and stuff though? What do you think?
Hey George, I know you did reviews on the Tropos and Radial. How does this stack up to them and which of the 3 would you recommend and why? I need a EDC for work. Thanks!
George, man your reviews are simply amazing brother. Thank you! I currently have an old SwissGear bag which I love but I'm in the market for something with a more minimalist feel/appearance. I'm very interested in the Osprey Apogee but I've also been looking into some of the North Face bags. What would you suggest? What's your personal favorite everyday bag?
Do you think you could fit a laptop and portable USB monitor in the laptop sleeve? Great video. I have had this bag on an Amazon list for a while but hadn't really seen any reviews.
@@GeorgeDEFINED I have an Asus MB168B (or something very similar) which is a 15.6" monitor. I have a Lenovo T480 laptop which is 14". Thanks for the reply, stay safe.
Thanks George, great review as always. I'm thinking about picking this one up for myself. If I use your link do you get any credit? Also, what color bag are you rocking?
Hey man just subscribed after finding you looking at bags. Between the Apogee and the Nebula, what's your go to? I'm torn between the two. Keep up the excellent work man!!!
Bruh...how did you do that intro? I loved it. Nicely done. What video editing software do you use? Man I LOVE me some Osprey but I’m with you. Widen the shoulder straps, and give us EDC cats a bit more organizational options . Btw imagine if VERTEX would start to incorporate some of the hiking communities airflow panels into their bags.
That was the most unexpected, best minute long intro of my life lol.

Hello George. Could you review, if possible, the Osprey Transporter Zip Top & Osprey Centauri Plus? Thank you
I have the Centauri Plus, which has since become harder to find vs the regular 22L version. Here's the story. Take the Apogee, then take out the admin pocket, take away the Airscape panel (just a soft padded mesh, not too uncomfortable but not as breathable), replace the water bottle "sleeves" with some simple but large water bottle mesh pockets, add 2 cell phone-sized slip pockets to the front of the document folder in the main compartment, & add an elastic mesh "shove-it" pocket on the front of the bag (like what you see on the Osprey Nebula, Radial, & Metron), add 2 more liters of space & bam, you've got the Centauri Plus.

Thanx. It will be very nice to add also metric dimensions in future reviews
Hi Men!
Help me please
I compare Apogee and Quasar and Cant decide. I like how looks Apogee but think that quasar more functional. What do you think which one is better?
PS I have bought Radial but unfortunately is too heavy and I want to refund.

Thanks for the video! I ordered mine yesterday, its just what im looking for. Not too plain and nothing too crazy, seems just right for me and my use

I agree!

I don't have that pack anymore..sorry man
英語はわかりませんがすごく分かりやすかったです。ありがとうございます。
Good job on the review...any chance you could review the transporter panel loader? Currently debating between that and the Apogee...
Wonderful review! Helped me make my decision. Cheers!
Fantastic review. I’m sold.
Love the intro man!
Apt intro for the King of reviews

Nice video just curious if it would fit a 17" laptop cuz there seems to be a ton of space left
I believe it's rate for a 15" pc
Thanks for shearing
Your reviews are the best!! Can you do one for the Osprey Daylight Plus?
I will check it out for sure..
@@GeorgeDEFINED I thought it was the one, but then your Nebula video had me second guessing 😂

I would go Quasar
@@GeorgeDEFINED thanks brother 🙏🙏🙏

Nice video mister George, backpack is basic, simple and good for the price being an Osprey pack.

I know you did reviews on the Tropos and Radial. How does this stack up to them and which of the 3 would you recommend and why? I need a EDC for work. Thanks!

Yep why not! Be Safe ✌🏾
