The black bag with orange accents (mine, as shown) seems to only be available on the UA store. As I'm writing this, there's also a "dark maroon" version on the same listing. Alternatively, I found a blue (with yellow-ish paint specs) version on Amazon only (perhaps a discontinued SKU with limited stock): amzn.to/3wrJqi5 --- Anyway, this got more views than I expected. If you want to see a video update on how it's held up for over a year now plus what I like/dislike, let me know!
For anyone wondering, it can fit a 15.6 Inc laptop witch makes its perfect for traveling. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhqixo9uZ1YyoCn9PYPPCh4S-n-1Z-vJl I got the small size and its pretty big, I would even say that you can be fine with an extra small one. With the small you can fit a 15.6 inch laptop, 2 - 3 jeans or panta and at least 4 to 5 shirt and a pair of shoes(if you travel more than you go to the gym of course) and you will still have a lot of space to spear if you know how to organize it. Overall I LOVE IT.
One question, weren’t you afraid that the zipper is gonna snap? Since the straps are fixed to the back compartment and that is just what hold all the bag weight?
I love that it doesn't have a compartment near the carabiners like the "Project Rock Pro Box Backpack". I travel Internationally and I'm trying to find a backpack that's durable, waterproof (preferably Drybags), and most importantly pickpocket proof. Too bad that the cellphone slot appears to be quite exposed. I think I can either use a lock, be more aware of my surroundings, or, simply keep my valuables on the inner part of the bag and access my phone using my watch. Anyway, thank you for this, and if you have a suggestion based on my specifications, do let me know. Take care and Thank you for a nice clean video.
Received it for my birthday from my son. Love it. Thanks for making the use of it more comfortable to the eye. I didn’t know that would fit where. Appreciate the video. Blessings.
Thanks for posting this review. Been looking for a durable back to use when flying. Think you sold me on this after showing how easily it can stow underneath the seat on the plane.
Any interest in a follow up video to get more thoughts on my use over the last few months? I can answer some questions in more detail, tell you what I've really liked, what I wish it did better, how I've been using it for travel as well as for the gym, etc. Give this comment a thumbs up if there's any interest, and leave a reply if you have a specific topic/question you want me to address.
Sorry I missed this question! No, hasn't impacted my enjoyment even though I consider it one of this bag's biggest 'cons.' I expect that's due to my use and not wearing it for too many hours at a time. If you travel a lot and wear a bag around town or have a long commute, then I bet the lack of a chest or waist strap would start to annoy you.
Thanks for the helpful video! Only feedback is about how dark the first part was on your island. Black bag+poor lighting=couldn’t see the bag and details well.
You’re welcome! And yes sorry those weren’t the best filming conditions but I was about to go on a trip and wanted to use the bag, so I was eager to film. Been on quite a few since, and the bag is holding up perfectly. I’ve had maybe one loose stand of nylon stick out (of course by the zipper’s path) but it was easy to snip (wasn’t from damage or wear or anything). If there’s anything you have specific questions about, let me know!
Great review mate. Straight on point. It has really everything what i need to know especially that i m going in holiday in 5 6 days. The bag looks nice,good pockets inside and out but i read mixed reviews about the strap and doesn t look to be that sturdy and durable. The only good thing is that in UK now is only 30 pounds.. I dunno it it s a good price considering that it was released around 3 yrs ago...and soon maybe they ll release version 2 of this bag...
Thanks! That is a nice price but you have really good counter points. Durability wise mine is still solid after lots of travel both long and short trips. My biggest issue is the lack of additional supporting straps for the waist and chest even to make the larger bag easier to wear for longer durations. However I see project rock has released 3 new bags but none have the extra straps I want so idt it’s in their design style. They also released a waist bag which I think about to order 🤔
Thank you! And agreed, it was kind of a last minute decision to film before leaving for a trip. If you’re interested in seeing more shots of the bag (especially in better lighting), I did a follow up review of using it as a gym bag.
hi! thanks for clear and simple review. How much does this backpack weight? Cant find this information anywhere and its quiet important feature for me. thanks!
Glad you liked it! So I did my best to measure the weight. I didn’t take off my molle accessories so I’m rounding down a bit to account for those, but I measured around 1.1 kg or under 2.5 lbs
Is it comfortable on ur back? It doesn't seem to be contoured well on ur back and also not have any kind of air through structure to it so I'm just wondering cause i tend to get sweaty on my back regardless of weather! Thanks for the great review!
Yes, it’s rather comfortable on the back even when loaded up very heavy. I will say I wish it had a strap to go around your waist for additional support, but I’ve been on a handful of trips since this video and have found it practical and comfortable. It also could use a strap to let you slide it onto a suitcase, but I manage to secure it to my carry on roller when I want a break at airports and would rather roll around the weight on easy floors. As for the airflow, it’s not the best, but I can’t say I’ve ever tried any backpack that didn’t make my back sweaty haha I’m the same way. I like the side grab handle which makes it easy to carry and give my back a chance to breath in those situations. And you’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hi. That was a cool video. Please continue like that. I would like to ask you a question. Is it suitable for laptop 15.6"? And is the space for laptop secure? I mean is the material around it solid to prevent demage on the laptop? Thanks.
Thank you! Yes, it will fit a 15.6” laptop sufficiently. It’s padded enough to protect it on either side during regular wear and normal handling. However the bottom isn’t padded much so I wouldn’t drop the bag or toss it roughly.
Thanks! So I had two in the vid. The first one that I clipped to the front of the bag is by a brand called Mobot. It’s actually a foam roller, as well. Super cool and convenient. The second water bottle showed was at the end and slid into the bag’s actual water bottle pocket. It’s by Ladder (the supplement brand).
Thank you. It's decent for water resistance. A light rain or short time exposed will be just fine. I wouldn't stay long in the rain, however, without a plan to reduce exposure. It's not advertised as water-proof so I wouldn't risk it esp with electronics inside.
It's "highly water-resistant" and "100% Polyester" according to UA, so I would avoid (and I actively try to avoid) 'heavy' rain. I am not worried about a light rain. I typically have an umbrella on me (in the bag) to avoid a direct downpour on myself and the bag. Ideally, I'd have a waterproof cover for the backpack, but I personally don't have need for one. If I'm suddenly caught without an umbrella in a really heavy rain, i'd try to wear my raincoat over the bag (and run for shelter lol). Point is, I try to be prepared, but I'm not worried about it being caught in the rain for long enough to do damage as I personally don't want to be in a rain like that for long.
You got it! Yes, the laptop itself should fit just fine in the dedicated sleeve which is decently padded and soft. However, if you have a rather bulky laptop case/cover/sleeve thing to protect it, it might be too tight, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fit it in the general compartment of the bag with ease.
Oh, plenty. Bag-only brands and big athletic brands (like UA, Adidas, etc.) will almost always have the higher prices. You can find something similar on Amazon (if only as a search engine, not that you have to buy from there) if you even search for this bag or just "duffle backpack." Let us know if you find something you like in case others have the same concern.
My laptop is 13.5" (so it handles that very well), but I've also - and at the same time! - placed a 12" tablet AND a 16" laptop with my own. That's 3 devices I've packed in there at times while traveling.
Heavy rain for an hour, I wouldn’t think so.. I would want something built and advertised as water proof rather than just resistant for a situation like that. I would try to tuck this bag under my rain coat or add a waterproof layer over the top of the bag to act like a roof/runoff. They make waterproof covers that fit various sized bags I think (I’ve never needed one).
@@BoundlessFlux I will try find one. Thanks really appreciate it. I work in Vietnam. I ride around on a bike and when it's monsoon season it's dangerous to ride around with a raincoat. I have a waterproof jacket and pants but can't find a waterproof backpack though.
🤔 That's tough for me to say... sorry. I'm 5'11" if that helps with scale at all. It's a big bag IMO but that's intentional to hold a ton of stuff and still fit under an airplane seat.
I’d say so. It fits my 13 in with plenty of room to spare. I’ve also fit it with a larger laptop case plus another 15 in laptop together on the same sleeve.
Yeah, definitely. There are multiple ways to secure patches, but if you adhere velcro to the Molle webbing, that'd be a cool way to select where to place some of them.

I designed it. Glad you like it :)
We love it ! You did an incredible job. 💯🙏🙏
Well then you forgot to include a chest strap to make it more secure.
Don’t listen to the other guy, unless it’s a hiking pack, chest straps are just annoying. Great job!
You sir, are a genius. Thank you for making a backpack that can hold anything my school can throw at me
One question, weren’t you afraid that the zipper is gonna snap? Since the straps are fixed to the back compartment and that is just what hold all the bag weight?
I love this review. Demonstration, not just words. So simple and compact, and delivers the point. Damn great

Did the lack of a chest strap affected your enjoyment of the backpack?
Sorry I missed this question! No, hasn't impacted my enjoyment even though I consider it one of this bag's biggest 'cons.'

Great review. I liked the voice over approach as it didn't distract from the presentation.
Thanks, Roger ! We appreciate your kind words. 🙏🙏
Welcome 😉
I will eventually get this backpack. I really like the storage capacity and tactical daily use.
You just made my purchasing decision easier. Thanks!!!
We're happy to hear that ! You're welcome. 😁
Definitely keeping this bag on my tab. Been contemplating on choosing a suitable travel backpack for a quick getaway. Thanks for the awesome review.
Ty I’m gonna buy this bag for my son in highschool
You got it 😁

Here's a video on my use of this backpack as a gym bag for those interested: th-cam.com/video/5TYMCSobF9w/w-d-xo.html
nice bag, will buy one now
Great video on useful the bag is to carry.
Thanks for the kind words, Mike !
Thanks bro, good video!! keep it going.
Thank you for making this video brother. Helped in making my purchasing decision 🤙🏼
Happy to hear it! Enjoy
Thanks for this review!! Super helpful!

@@barbariandunker That's great! enjoy it
Hello i just recently ordered it it cost me here 85 euro but i had 25% off coupoun code, so 63 euro not bad i like the design for gym and travel.

It's a nice duffel backpack but it's definitely on the smaller side. Wish it were at least 42L
Hey Dreamwake, check out their cordura Duffle. I got one before it got the project Rock branding and it is great
What water bottle is that? Looks cool.
Thanks! So I had two in the vid. The first one that I clipped to the front of the bag is by a brand called Mobot. It’s actually a foam roller, as well. Super cool and convenient. The second water bottle showed was at the end and slid into the bag’s actual water bottle pocket. It’s by Ladder (the supplement brand).
Great review. What is the bag like for water resistance?
Thank you. It's decent for water resistance. A light rain or short time exposed will be just fine. I wouldn't stay long in the rain, however, without a plan to reduce exposure. It's not advertised as water-proof so I wouldn't risk it esp with electronics inside.
I returned the bag be ause it had no sternal strap. Its a huge difference when you load the bag and have to walk Kms.
Good point! Def needed for long wear. I’m testing the bag out as a rucksack and it would’ve been way better with the strap
Need more light when reviewing black idem
what about the bagpacks??
It works perfectly if you're a traveling freestyler, that's what ! 👊
Would this work as a gym bag? Trying to decide between this bag or the project rock 60 bag
This does have a surprising amount of space, but we've found most people prefer buying the Project Rock 60 to use as a gym bag.
How has the zipper been holding up since the weight of the straps is on it? Doesn’t look like it would hold to some heavy items?
Great so far. I have actually been meaning to use/test it out as a rucksack to weigh my walks. That’ll really show its strength.
What about in the heavy rain? Will the items in your bag get wet?
It's "highly water-resistant" and "100% Polyester" according to UA, so I would avoid (and I actively try to avoid) 'heavy' rain. I am not worried about a light rain. I typically have an umbrella on me (in the bag) to avoid a direct downpour on myself and the bag. Ideally, I'd have a waterproof cover for the backpack, but I personally don't have need for one.

Thanks mate! Do you think MacBook Pro 16inch can be fit in it?
You got it! Yes, the laptop itself should fit just fine in the dedicated sleeve which is decently padded and soft. However, if you have a rather bulky laptop case/cover/sleeve thing to protect it, it might be too tight, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fit it in the general compartment of the bag with ease.
@@BoundlessFlux Oh I got it! Thanks for explaining everything, you are great. I think I will order it lets see :)
Do you think this bag is good for school?
It’s definitely big enough! The rest is style and practically.
Its nice but overpriced. Is there something alike but larger? I wouldnt fit my stuff in there.
Oh, plenty. Bag-only brands and big athletic brands (like UA, Adidas, etc.) will almost always have the higher prices.

Why would someone took their laptop to the gym?!!?!
What size of laptop are you using? Can it fits with16 inch

Is the bag too big for a person thats 5’5”
🤔 That's tough for me to say... sorry. I'm 5'11" if that helps with scale at all. It's a big bag IMO but that's intentional to hold a ton of stuff and still fit under an airplane seat.
Is that 16 inch laptop?
No, mine is a 13in but there is plenty of room in that sleeve leftover.
Can fit 15.6 laptop?
I’d say so. It fits my 13 in with plenty of room to spare. I’ve also fit it with a larger laptop case plus another 15 in laptop together on the same sleeve.
