      read the review I just posted on this bag. I'm actually buying bags from Amazon now there you get free returns so i can physically see the bag to see if it really works for me now. Not ordering from any more online-only retailers anymore, not for a bag that costs $100.

    I have the same Nordace bag in beige colour and it's literally perfect. I use it for the office ever day, as the bag holds its shape really well even when it is not completely full.
    I even went on a 5-day trip to Morocco with this bag only (no other luggage), as it can really fit a lot of stuff. I definitely recommend buying it, it is worth the price.

It is an extremely durable bag that protected all of my technology. I love this bag, and I would recommend it to anyone. My only complaint is the water bottle holder.

    I think the packing cube is just a way to maximize profits. Maybe it’s helpful to keep things orderly and together but it’s not very optimal for space economization. Regardless, great video! Was hoping to check the backpack out so I can gift it to a special someone and this video convinced me that it would be a good choice. Thanks for posting.

    An excellent review & road test. Something I look for is robustness. I wonder if the lift handle could be relied upon? Also your point about weather proofed base was spot on. A rubber base would be a really nice feature. Otherwise I think it's pretty decent.

    Nice review! I purchased this and my gripe is that it's very heavy if you over pack it. Yes, it holds a lot and is very stylish but it's simply too heavy for my taste. Also, if packed to the brim, there is limited stretch to move your hand and dig out things. I wish the material had more stretch.

    One thing I noticed right off was the zippers. (IMHO) It’s disappointing they’re not YKK zippers and the fabric attached to the zipper looked cheap and not sturdy. I didn’t like the lack of waterproofness or stiffness of the bottom either and with out a nice adjustable water pocket, I wouldn’t buy this bag. Great review on your part!

    The zips aren't covered. Does this mean they're not weather-proof? Water would bleed in through the teeth of the zip. Where does that leave your laptop in terms of keeping dry in the rain? It also doesn't have any studs/feet underneath to protect the base from wear when it's on the ground.

      Yes still have it and it’s held up well, although the zip keeps splitting and after a few tries it works again 😆 I did say in the video that the zip feels cheap though!

    Hi Monika, how do you like the bag after using it for a year? :)

    • @MonikaOlivia
      @MonikaOlivia  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, it’s actually my boyfriend’s backpack and he’s been using it all the time! Travelling, the gym, a bike ride, it works for any occasion 😁 The only disadvantage is that when the bag is quite full, it’s hard to fit anything in the front pocket. It would be better if the bag had a front pocket with more room, for some things you want quick access to.

  • @tklam3336
    @tklam3336 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im curious to ask whether the bag will be broken the leather handle and the strap easily when it is so heavy with full pack? The official website said it can carry 19L stuff. Im trying to find a large volume backpack when I go out with laptop and some 1-2days cloths... *sigh* Im still thinking of Herscxxl or others... btw, are the zippers smooth?

    • @MonikaOlivia
      @MonikaOlivia  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven’t used it enough to be able to tell how the handles will will handle heavy loads. The zippers are smooth yes, which is surrising for such big, chunky ones.
