Sir Chase of Reeveshire! Wherefore wouldst thee recommendeth a container f'r ye Apocalypse yond doest not has't a zipp'r f'r securing the middangeard bosom??
I don’t mind to pay 500$ or more for a bag but seriously, we are talking about a kind of nylon with leather accents made in South Asia. Bellroy are making very nice mass manufactured stuff but this price is ridiculous for what it is. Edit: Thanks for your work (forgot the basic politeness...)
I got this bag a week ago and to be honest, I'm still a little on the fence about keeping it or not. I haven't used it yet since we're all doing the #stayhome thing so maybe if I can't justify keeping it, I'll send it back to Bellroy. I really think this is a 'bag man's bag' from a company that really caters to the casual user- and if Bellroy is asking this kinda money for a product, at least make it seem worth it in the long run with stuff like a 5-10 year or even lifetime warranty since 3 years on a $400+ bag is no bueno for me. Again, I say that as a guy with a lot of Bellroy stuff but their prices have really been creeping up over the years (Apex, Designer's Edition stuff, Work Folio etc..) but they don't really have the pedigree or prestige to get away with it.
Tony16610 hey mate . Awesome comment .. was just wondering how tall you are ? Chase didn’t try this bag on . Also , he kept putting the pin thingy in the flap in the last leather loop which made it look small ??
@@OGtalks I am 5'9''/175.5cm and it fits me quite well. It does look a bit wide because of the flappy thing up top but otherwise it carries and feels like a smaller backpack. The space inside is a little odd since it is a little narrow/small at the bottom and then expands as you get higher in the bag around where the pockets are. I can't really comment on the bar being used on the upper loops but I don't see it working too well if you are loading this bag with enough stuff to warrant needing to move it that high.
Tony16610 thanks for the reply . I’m 6”4 . I bought the classic plus from bellroy and it’s too small so I think this one will be the same .. I kinda like this bag . I think they should do 2 sizes . Like a 30L and a 24L . Bag companies are trying to make 1 bag that fits everyone but it doesn’t work like that . I kinda like what wNDRD did with the sizes but the PRVKE doesn’t look like it’d be as much fun to use as this bellroy joint . Thanks again ! 🙏🏼
Hmmm...it looks similar to Peak Design backpack. Peak has a lifetime warranty and significantly cheaper ($260ish). Better hardware, better straps, easier access. Gotta go Peak Design on this one.
The bag itself is pretty interesting and definitely looks like its made thoughtfully with high quality material. Only 3 year warranty for $450 bag is kinda odd. Top loading + Zipping complete down system is also odd. If this was priced in the $200 range I wouldn't mind buying it.
Chase . How come you didn’t try the bag on ? It looks small ? Is it the size of the classic plus or you think it’s bigger ? Are the straps larger than on the classic plus ? They look too close at the top ? Would of loved to of seen you put the latch in the top loop too .. a bag this expensive needed one of your mega in depth reviews . How do bellroy pencil case , tech kit , tech pouch work with this bag ? Are the pockets specifically made for other bellroy products ? How easy is to get to your water bottle ? Can you fit an iPod pro 11 where you had your book ? Does it have a chest strap ? What are those loop things on the straps ? Anyway . ✌🏼
Oh Chase. I just discovered you during one of my black hole adventures of TH-cam during Quarantine. Been day dreaming of travel and I’ve been all over your reviews deciding on a bag for the future. Have you ever seen the Thule Accent 28? I’m looking for a budget bag for single travel and it’s between that and the Kathmandu Litehaul (the review I found you!). I like the smaller size of the Thule for under seat storage. For my business papers, man. I’d love your thoughts! Thanks for being your goofy self, your videos lift me up when this down time gets me feeling heavy.
Great energy man!!! Just discovered you through the bellroy homepage - I am your fan now, will follow just because I love your energy. Greatings from Germany !
It sounds all well and good when you talk it up, but when you start comparing it to the competition (even literally the Bellroy Classic Plus from the same company) you realise it should be more around $200 absolute maximum. I like Bellroy, I love this bag, but it is not worth even half of the asking price. I can get a superior quality, proper custom designed, hand made bag from a canvas/leather crafter for this price.
Anyone think it’s big enough for one bag travel? I think it looks perfect but might be slightly too small for packing cube, Dopp kit and laptop/chargers and maybe a jacket. If it is this looks like it can be my everything bag and that’s worth the cash to me
This looks like a floppy version of the Everyday bag and almost twice as expensive. I am not sure I would like the flap hook at the front. Seems like it would be annoying hooking and unhooking. It needs magnets for that!!! You kind of lost me when you sad the handle has "reality" to it. lol. I love ya man, I have my Peak Design bags solely because of you, but this bag seems like too much for too little.
Actually strikes me as very similar to the Boundary Supply Errant in organization, but very different in aesthetic (and price, but that’s the 25-year-old in me talking). I can definitely see how someone with more money to spend and who wants this “look” would love this and be willing to pay extra for the craftsmanship, especially given that they’re looking to extend the warranty now.
Thank you for an interesting review. I'm not seeing a need for the Apex in my life but I appreciate the info. I have a Bellroy Shift backpack now and it reminds me a lot of this one. Maybe the Shift is just a little smaller? I'm not positive but I think I got mine for about 200 and I think its about 22 or 23 liters in size, maybe a little more. I never spent that much on a backpack before but its really nice, does the job, gets lots of compliments all the time, and it makes me feel good using it so I think the 200 is justified anyway. If the Apex does twice the job of the Shift, then maybe its worth the 400, too. By the way, I don't think you need to spend over $120 on a bag for a nice one. I know that was just an example you shared toward the end of the video but it isn't accurate in my experience. I have an Osprey Bitstream that I paid 60 bucks for on a Black Friday from Osprey and it is an exceptionally nice short trip (about 30 liters) travel backpack, day pack if you are carrying some extra stuff, and gym bag. I don't know if they intended it for that purpose or not but it has a huge top opening and plenty of organization and its comfy to wear. I find it excellent for the gym (if they ever open the doors again, that is). It also doesn't have all the hiking strap things that most Osprey packs have so it looks plenty nice for any environment, too.
@@JayWing9 Thanks, Jay. They have a lot in common and even 26 to 23 is similar for a day pack. I'm not sure what the Apex has that the Shift doesn't other than the 3L though.
Hi Nathan, I've got the shift too, considering the Apex for the reason when you have a lot in the shift its impossible to see what's in there. Being able to open the front is a game changer for me
this is the "perfect world" bag, if you live in japan, or don't ever go to europe, this could work for you. But you take this to NYC or Barcelona they gonna get all your stuff. That makes me a little sad because that double zipper is a great idea, and that organization speaks to the serial killer in me.
I know it’s kind of late but I just wanted to say thank you for your great reviews. I just got Apex but I forgot to use your link. Next time for sure...
Just got this bag the other day! I was apprehensive about the price, but the workmanship and materials on this is just amazing! I agree this is kind of a niche product at the price point. But totally worth it!
ssraj94 do you see this bag enough comfortable to be used on daily mountain trips? I am really thinking to get it. I like the pocket and access to main compartment. Worried a little about bright inner material where dirt can collect quickly
@@_krakra_ Yeah I think this is big enough to hold a lot of stuff. But honestly I don’t know if I can recommend it for rougher carries. For an urban commute? Definitely. But for a mountain trip the inner material will surely pick up a lot dirt (the outer material is pretty robust though) Maybe a more resilient bag like the Tom Bihn Synapse/Synik, Evergoods CPL or a Mystery Ranch Urban Assault might be better choices.
ssraj94 thank you for your replay. Regarding a hiking and mountain use. I will not carry anything specific which can damage my interior. I just need my clothes, some food, water and some tool accessories. But it really is strange they use relatively strong exterior as mentioned in review and somehow delicate interior which is not strong enough to deal with different accessories might be carried. Is really that bad? I mean in that case bag really is not worth a money.
@@_krakra_ The interior can withstand tougher use-cases for sure, the material is a really a fine and mesh, which should be more than fire for the carry you mentioned. I'm more concerned about staining it like Chase did in the video :D The thing is I just have a hard time recommending such an expensive bag to anyone. If you have the option to try it and return it if you don't like it, I'd recommending giving it a try.
ssraj94 the case is. It is expensive bag for sure. But i am looking for one bag which i can use; for office (if this will even happen), outdoor, and other daily use when i need to take my shit with me. And in a same way won’t look like outdoorsy, tactical, military like. So i think the balance on this bag is really good. And it have good access if you ask me from all fronts. So if i do calculations by getting rid off my current trakke outdoor bag, my current work bag and my current bag used for everything else then price point make sense for me. What is bugging me is only 3 year warranty, and potentially sensitive interior like also mentioned in video review.
your Elon Musk comment got me! hahahaha... 😂👍🏻👍🏻 And... "this is where all my bad memories are..." - really?! can't be that bad... 😂 The house location looks amazing though.
Boundary Supply's Prima Backpack for around $220 USD is far better value and much superior to this hipster backpack in so many ways AND the Prima Backpack comes with a lifetime guarantee. You've got to be joking Bellroy!!??
Agree with other comments that this is more in line with Peak Design Maglatch...Not an Apocalypse bag. Where do I put my binoculars, my extra ammo clips, emergency cauterization torch? Where does my machete dangle from? I would like to see Trakke’s version of this type of bag. I prefer the waxed canvas to recycled water bottles, we don’t need to recycle plastic water botttles, we need to outlaw the manufacturing of said plastic water bottles.
I am curious if the Peak packing cube will fit inside. I am looking at the Bellroy Transit Backpack (1,1kg) or this bag to replace my Arcido Faroe (.9kg) for one bag travel in Australia and Asia (under 7g). This bag is a little bit heavy at 1.4 kg. But will it fit the packing cube? Is it worth almost double the price of their Transit backpack? What is actually being provided to warrant the price?
I don't know what it is but I just can never fully get behind belroy stuff. It's super nice and seemingly well engineered but just doesn't speak to me. Kind of too much leather for my tastes.
Hey man. Nice bag. But on to snacks. Stoats porridge bars from Scotland are awesome and ethical. Maybe get the trakke guys to throw some bars in with your next order.
I found your channel looking for the perfect travel bag...settled on the Peak Design Travel Backpack (no regrets!). But I still find myself watching your reviews often, even though I won't be on the market for a new bag for years. Keep it up!
Not a huge fan of top loaders unless I am on backpacking trip. I only do those 2 times a year max, so too pricy for me. Seems a bit cumbersome for daily carry. Pretty unique tho.
As someone who designs and makes bags, I dont see where they are getting this insane markup.... Its a simple design and the materials dont cost that much. I mean come on man, you cant be more obvious. It looks good no doubt, clean and sleek but not ground breaking
Then maybe you can help. I am looking for a bag which i will use: for office, daily forest hikes, daily mountain hikes, bike, would be expandable and have good access AND will not look like technical tactical design or possibly not like outdoorsy type of bag. Stay safe! Thank you.
I would love a video montage of your runnings jokes! Of course the infamous business papers comma man. But I’m also not familiar with the dongle rodney origin
The top load design is kind of a make or break for me. Also, not a fan of having to put my water bottle (even if it’s the Camel chute) next to my laptop rather than on the exterior. Aer still wins the all around award.
did u use the teleporting feature to get to your new home... ya, i thought theres no way that you could teleport by just putting the bag on but the price makes it very obvious of that fantastic feature...
your performance is superior to the products that you show lately - in this case you reach a new high - or the bag a new low ... ! You might get to the point where your credebilty really is gone for good. I now did buy 3 bags you did praise and they are mostly shit! I will still come back an watch you selling your snakeoil - just wont buy it anymore
I love the interior design. Amazing. My only problem is that I don’t like the fancy look, I mean it’s beautiful, but I like to be more subtle when I’m traveling around. If they could make a version without leather on the outside.
I've just received it... I'm very very disappointed... this bag looks like it has lived through the Apocalypse! The nylon and the color seem faded and washed out... there's a lot of marks, traces on the fabric. It looks like a refurb one !! Having such a bad impression when you just got a bag that costs so much… it is not very good... I'm going to give myself 24 hours to think about it but I think I'm going to send it back.
@@_krakra_ yes I've photo. I should make a video with it. You can see the same traces on the top of the bag on the video at 11:08. it 's very quick but with the light on the fabric, you can see them. And the real color is much more like the one when Chase is outside than the one when is inside (it seems sooo Blue, but now it's more a blue-grey).
Guillaume Mouillet : i think this is the character of baida nylon material. I have a feeling it will “break in” in a same way as waxed cotton does. I guess this is not discolouring but simply patina which this material will have over time when used. Maybe Chase can confirm this as well.
Guillaume Mouillet : this is what i got from Bellroy support: the answer from our production team is that while Baida does not have wax it does have an additional coating compared to our normal nylon which depends on use, can develop similar Patina as wax canvas. So yes, the patina you are seeing on your Apex is normal

How is a city-bag for white collar professionals "the best apocalypse bag"?
The apocalypse is for everybody! (Or something).
Apocalypse in style man!
I just really don't see how this is worth +$200 more than Peak Design EDB.
after using both, the materials, finishes, size, laptop compartment. Everything is better. 200$ more? Depends on each

Nice looking bag, not so nice half-assed attempt to replicate Peak Design's mag latch and the price is hilarious. That's a $250 bag max.
I just spent $44 on a North Face recon and I feel good about it.
If you have margin, donate to your local food bank. Donations are down and the need is great.
I stopped watching at "$400+".
Luís Miguel Braga that’s the first thing he said ! 😂
For this money... GORUCK is still better.

That zip opening I think is ugly design. For $400 is not worth the design. I'd rather go with Peak Design series even if I'm not a photographer.

Not a huge fan of top loaders unless I am on backpacking trip. I only do those 2 times a year max, so too pricy for me. Seems a bit cumbersome for daily carry. Pretty unique tho.
Hey Chase, is that the onyx color? On their website, the bag looks more on the greyish. The one you’re doing a review on looks more blue.
Yessss. Give me all the Snacks and Ads.
It's missing if you fill those side pockets it will probably make those inside side pockets unusable.
Check out PleatPack bag! I bought and it's really like a concept car and much affordable!!!
As someone who designs and makes bags, I dont see where they are getting this insane markup.... Its a simple design and the materials dont cost that much. I mean come on man, you cant be more obvious. It looks good no doubt, clean and sleek but not ground breaking
Then maybe you can help. I am looking for a bag which i will use: for office, daily forest hikes, daily mountain hikes, bike, would be expandable and have good access AND will not look like technical tactical design or possibly not like outdoorsy type of bag. Stay safe! Thank you.
I would love a video montage of your runnings jokes! Of course the infamous business papers comma man. But I’m also not familiar with the dongle rodney origin
Hey Chase, I’m always looking for new Henleys. Do you mind dropping a link for the shirt you’re wearing? Thanks!
I can't see someone who CAN afford this wanting to use it.
I guess that "concept car" analogy is highly appropriate in this regard.
The top load design is kind of a make or break for me. Also, not a fan of having to put my water bottle (even if it’s the Camel chute) next to my laptop rather than on the exterior. Aer still wins the all around award.
did u use the teleporting feature to get to your new home... ya, i thought theres no way that you could teleport by just putting the bag on but the price makes it very obvious of that fantastic feature...
your performance is superior to the products that you show lately - in this case you reach a new high - or the bag a new low ... ! You might get to the point where your credebilty really is gone for good. I now did buy 3 bags you did praise and they are mostly shit! I will still come back an watch you selling your snakeoil - just wont buy it anymore
The only bag company that I trust are Bellroy and Peak Design
Love this video. Huge fan. Love bags and I think your reviews are great. Should have finished the video around the 11 min mark 😉
Can you please review: Targus 15.6" Cypress Slim Backpack with EcoSmart
I love the interior design. Amazing. My only problem is that I don’t like the fancy look, I mean it’s beautiful, but I like to be more subtle when I’m traveling around. If they could make a version without leather on the outside.
It looks great except for the god ugly looking shoulder straps.
Eeey @chase which is that tech kit? Looks very cool but there's no link in description
Ton français est fabuleux
Snacks!
hi chase! what do you carry in your "always want you but never wanna see you" pouch? great videos! good luck!
Hi I don't see the interview with Bellroy people on TH-cam yet. When are you going to put that up for members?
Btw always love your videos
Sup, Jason. Up now. Check the member’s posts. 👊
A bag made from Elon Musk's wet dreams..... Amazeballs?!
i watch like 4 hrs of youtube everyday and the energy you bring to your videos is so amazing, keep it up man
470 euros. is this an april fools? or just ridiculus
Great review, great channel, nice to see your humanity coming through in this video.....
Can you take a look at the peak design everyday messenger v2 pls?
Careful, that corona bottle might be sneaking up on you
Why do you live in a mansion Chase Reeves ?
Dude your commentary in this one 👌🏻
Reminds me a lot of ModernDayfarer backpack.
Where the hell are you Chase? That place looks sick
Less than a car.... Power your life with snacks :). Perfect.
I've just received it... I'm very very disappointed... this bag looks like it has lived through the Apocalypse! The nylon and the color seem faded and washed out... there's a lot of marks, traces on the fabric. It looks like a refurb one !! Having such a bad impression when you just got a bag that costs so much… it is not very good... I'm going to give myself 24 hours to think about it but I think I'm going to send it back.
Guillaume Mouillet : interesting. Do you have some photo to share?
@@_krakra_ yes I've photo. I should make a video with it. You can see the same traces on the top of the bag on the video at 11:08. it 's very quick but with the light on the fabric, you can see them. And the real color is much more like the one when Chase is outside than the one when is inside (it seems sooo Blue, but now it's more a blue-grey).
Guillaume Mouillet : i think this is the character of baida nylon material. I have a feeling it will “break in” in a same way as waxed cotton does. I guess this is not discolouring but simply patina which this material will have over time when used. Maybe Chase can confirm this as well.
Guillaume Mouillet : this is what i got from Bellroy support:
the answer from our production team is that while Baida does not have wax it does have an additional coating compared to our normal nylon which depends on use, can develop similar Patina as wax canvas. So yes, the patina you are seeing on your Apex is normal
interesting design but unrealistic expensive
I don't know, this looks like a more expensive errant 🤷
oh man, it is so beautiful!! Discount code please hehe ; )
Beautiful bag, beautiful home, beautiful message. Stay strong all.
reminds me of the MS urban assault but without the tri zip
Dude you leaved San Diego? I never saw you :(
It’s worth it guys . It’s amazing. I own one and it’s legit
Looking to get one. How has it held up? Would you recommend to someone? Thank you
Chase you're twinning with the bag man !
Really like the look of the bag but there's no way I can swing that price tag. Any alternatives to this thing for us mere mortals?
Bellroy Shift Pack, tumi London roll top (can find for cheap on ebay), alpaka shift pack, knomo roll top, or a good old hershel little America lmao
The new-ish bellroy venture 22L seems to be a decent alternative.
