Subscribed, you make really great content Desy - thank you! I had to sift through about 5 reviews before finding yours. Not only is your content well produced, but I appreciate your realistic and honest opinions about these bags. So many "reviewers" present every single feature of a piece of gear like it is flawless, sounding more like an unscrupulous car salesman than somebody talking about the pros vs. cons of a piece of gear. It's great to hear about what is good, but even better to hear about what isn't good about something when making purchasing decisions. Thanks!!
hey hey thanks for ur comment!!! glad i could help =)
Dam I thought I was a backpack geek I have a backpack for every situation different sizes and they are all north face one bag is ten years old and in great condition the secret to keeping a bag in good shape is to never over stuff it so much that u can hardly zip it that puts stress on the straps weakens the stitching and if it’s dirty clean it
Hi Desy!! Thank You for doing these reviews! I was laughing when you showed your closet filled with backpacks! But, it is SO helpful to have enthusiastic people like you in the backpack community talk about what they like and show us backpacks. I am trying to pick out a backpack for myself for a trip in Asia next year. I am 5'5" and 120 pounds and a minimalist traveler.
hey hey! glad i made u laugh =)
there are plenty of options available. Recently I've been loving the Aer City Pack Pro, Wandrd Prvke 21, Fjallraven Skule 28, and the Vertx Gamut 2.0!
Thank for the input Desy. My favourite travel backpack is the mystery ranch 2 day assault for comfort. And the vanquest trident 32 and falconer 30 for great organization and their sweet high viz orange lining. Cheers and God bless.
thanks for telling me about that bag! It looks awesome!!! Mystery Ranch that is..
I will also check out those other 2 bags, much appreciated!
Kelly Redwing is my choice....
I go 5 weeks to Europe with one
Two changes of clothes sandals toiletries plugs hat... Laundry detergent
My gawd..there’s an expert on absolutely everything...
i know right!?!?!! ugh!
I have the tropos for 4 months now, i can't go anywhere without it. Using it for everything, everyday backpack, hiking, travel gym, shopping, etc.
I use the vanquest skycap for my travel/carryon backpack.
I just bought the North Face Recon($99) and the Dakine Wonder 25L($25).
You can manually add the Bungee cord tot he North Face Recon. Unlike the North Face Borealis, the Recon has deeper water bottle pockets. I like the North Face Recon so far, and will try the Dakine Wonder 25L later.
I'm picking a new backpack and the choice really isn't as easy as one would think. Thanks for making these videos!
no problem! So stay tuned for April 5 as I'll be releasing 2 new bags which you may like!
The suspension system and (back) ventilation is the main reason why I've stuck with Osprey. Singapore is just warm all year long and every bit helps. I use their bags for work, travel, hiking etc. Even my running hydration packs is Osprey. Only other brand that has a similar ventilation system is Deuter, a German company.
yeah, osprey all the way!
bro! where do u usually go see and try on ospreys in singapore? :)
@@liionelbooon The Planet Traveller. Try their store at Marina Square.
Which one are you using? I have the Nebula 32 and the ventilation there is not really better from anything else, maybe 5% better but then again I sweat a lot during summer.
Super helpful comparison! 💚
thank u!
just got the tropos 2018 for a good deal, glad to hear you like it!
love it! but i do like the 2024 version a bit better!
@@DesmondCheng thanks for the comparison! when the 2018 breaks down i'll upgrade the new one is the plan :)
@@pham3 it might never break down haha
@@DesmondCheng lol very true!! my previous backpack was a 26L. so transitioning to this 32L, i'm still getting used to the size increase haha
@@pham3 there is the Osprey Parsec which is 26L!
Great video! Would love to see you do a review of the osprey nebula. Definitely one of the best EDC backpacks out there imo. Thanks!
if i get my hands on one ill do one!
Brief descriptions, concise info, very easy to compare and contrast all the bags, and that's a recipe for an amazing video. subbed+liked
Awesome thanks!
Just weekends worth of clothing? I usually use a 30 liter for 4-5 nights. Otherwise great video as always 👍
Really helpful review. Thank you, I am about to buy today :)
I’m a guilty backpack collector 😭
I have way too many. They just look so nice
=)
Same! D:
You going to donate some backpacks 🙋🏽♂️
Just a suggestion…I’d like to see this video be at least twice as long where you compare more parts to each bag. For example, laptop storage. Seeing you slide a 15” or 16” MBP in and out of each bag, discuss the protection, etc. would have been invaluable to me.
thanks for the tip!
I love backpacks too, but I haven’t found my favorite yet
I know! there is no perfect bag!
I need a bag that holds two water bottles on the side, and plenty of pockets inside and outside. I will buy me a new one sometime next month. I need one to carry all the stuff I like to carry and not be heavy
@@deborahsmith9966 2021 North Face Surge! Or check out the think tank urban access!
ok. GREAT review. I get you thoughts on the Tropos. Love the Peak Design and the Wandrd 31L. Thoughts on
the peak design vs the wandrd 31L ?
Just need a backpack like the north face surge with straps like the osprey tropos argg
i know, there is NO perfect bag! ARRRGGG!!!!
Cheers from Japan but from Canada. Keep up the great work. Been following you since around 1000 subscribers. I am debating on the Able Carry Max, Evergoods CPL28, old Evergoods CTB40 ( a box...lol) and a high end brand in Japan called Rofmia which are all hand made and extremely light. But at a premium costs. I am stuck between the Rofmia and Able Carry which many have complained about it being heavy at 3.8 pounds for a 30 pound bag. Cheers.
Hey Skipper!
oh wow always great to hear from some original followers =)
The Rofmia looks very nice! But I think the big difference is going to be size. The Rofmia seems to fit more of an everyday bag, where you can take it anywhere! The Able Max is on the larger size so I feel like I wouldn't carry that on a everyday basis...
If you are more into everyday bags, also check out AER! They have some really nice quality bags that are black and sleek like the Rofmia. Stay tuned for first week of April though, new products are launching =)
@@DesmondCheng I know AER well. Not a fan of too many pockets and dongles like their travel bag. Just picked up their X-PAC city sling. Used it once but selling it. Too small. Great bags though.
@@skipper4114 =)
So I really like the external cords and at first I was simply indecisive between two classics: the Borealis and the Chacabuco. But then I saw nice reviews about the Refugio, the Tropos and the new Surge. I really don’t know what to buy 😅
I just want a very versatile backpack for commuting and occasional daily hikes. As I said, aesthetically I really like the Borealis but the Chacabuco/Refugio are much more lighter while having the same size / bigger one. Then again for the same weight of the Borealis, the Surge one is very nice + even bigger and you chose the Tropos as the best one. The Tropos weighs more or less like the TNF ones and it’s more spacious.
Any advices? 🤯🥺
Great comparison. I really want to like the North Face Surge but the badly designed water bottle pockets and straps are a no go. I think my 5.11 Rush 24 has a better admin section for organizing stationary, flashlights, tools, cables and electronics. That said, for this video I like the Osprey Tropos for the reason you selected it but I'd need to buy an admin pouch for it to house the gear I mentioned neatly.
any good recommendations on a admin pouch? whats ur favorite one? Thanks!
@@DesmondCheng There are either panels or pouches that I've used and it just depends on what bag I'm using so there is no real favorite. Maxpedition is quality and maybe my favorite brand for pouches. They sell the Micro, Mini, E.D.C. and a few other sizes that have elastic loops and pockets that organize well. I own the Maxpedition Mini and Fatty which are great to toss into small backpack pockets for small gear. I also have the Cocoon GRID-IT! which is a stiff panel. As for larger admin pouches I have one that is really spaced well. They don't sell it anymore but its nearly identical layout to the "Savior Equipment Tactical Multi-Purpose EDC Admin Pouch Military Waist Belt Modular Utility Tools Bag Organizer, Laser-Cut Style Molle Attachment Ready " found on Amazon .com and listed as Full Size | 10" x 8" x 1.75". same dimensions as mine. Its good to own a few sizes for sure! I have all my cables, powerbank and tools well organized with these.
@@practicalguy973 thank you so much, greatly appreciated!
Osprey any day😀
Desy as an idea for a review - compare backpacks for petite women who don't have as big backs as men. I've used in the past LowerPro mini I suppose (smaller than computrekker), bought it in early 2000s. it's great however looking for a big smaller one. also tried another lowerpro backpack opening like a book down which is a bit risky, but it had compartment for other stuff which was helpful for casual use. attachment of the zipper broke there though (the fabric).
for a smaller camera backpack i think the brevite runner or jumper would be a good fit for petite women!
Which bag is the toughest for mud rain snow. That would protect your gear against all bad weather. I'm not worried about straps. I'm worried about the gear that it's inside. And protects my documents and laptop. I need you to do a test. If you were in rain mud snow.
Help!
I’m 6’1”, 250lbs and I need something I can take hiking in Ireland this summer! I’m built like a pack mule, so I’m not worried about weight. I’d just like it to fit on a plane and have a great warranty (like Osprey has). Bonus points for being water resistant and around $150!
Any suggestions!?
You DO have way to many backpacks.
Great video
yuppppp
have you thought about reviewing a few timbuk 2 bags?
Why didn’t you mention the new version of the northface Borealis? You don’t like it or didn’t try it yet?
I'm looking for a backpack for my daughter she's 5'8 tall but I already bought backpack that is cheaper and it all do not last but I don't have a budget to buy comfortable and strong straps etc.
The Osprey Apogee / Aphelia is not too expensive! Check that out
mind weighing in? son starting college. main 4 goals are: COMFORT, large cavity for books (no clam shell), exterior water, 15" laptop compartment; so as not to duplicate, we have tried the following and returned: Waterfield Pro, Aer Tech 2, all the Patagonia, Osprey, Northface in this large size, Topo Design, all the Thules (son likes the 32L Thule which we are holding on to in case we find nothing better). Most of the youtubers who review backpacks only mention photography, hiking, or travel (clothes) vs school so I've tried my best to find him one based on whatever I can find. Would love to let him test the Greenroom136 Rainmaker and Alpha One Evade but with no returns, that is too costly for me. I'd have to have someone testify to them and convince me they'd be great and check all our boxes. Thank you for reading this lengthy post. Would so appreciate any help you may offer.
with comfort in mind the osprey nebula or tropos would be my picks.
Also another really big and comfy one is the LAPG Operator backpack. I made a review of it here:
th-cam.com/video/gz-p7BE_GVs/w-d-xo.html
@@DesmondCheng thank you! We ended up with the Tortuga and son says he's satisfied ☺️
@@cameronfeezee4989 awesome!
Hi .. can u review thule crossover backpack
Can you do the Patagonia Refugio?
How do you feel about the North Face Router Transit 40L
its a nice bag! but a bit big for my frame. I'm only 5'8. So if you are taller, then that might fit u better!
great video!!
very useful video! Thx u!
Off the top of your head, any chance you can briefly rank these in terms of their carrying capacity? I find how they estimate liters size between companies wildly varies and you'd have some real life experience using them.
Peak Design Every Day Travel, Able Carry Max, Osprey Tropos, North Face Stratoliner, Langly Alpha Globetrotter, Think Tank Urban Access, North Face Surge, Wandrd Prvke,
Hey man would you recommend a backpack that could be used for camping and travelling that aren’t huge?
osprey tropos!
Desy, whats your opinion on The North Face Resistor Backpack?
looks like a nice bag! Unfortunately I don't have too much to say about it as I don't have it! If I do get my hands on one ill let you know!
What about the osprey archeon for travel? What do u think?
that would be a great travel pack yes! its a lil large for me, but if u dont mind 45L then u should be good! Also i dont think its carry on compatible though as its too large
Can I have one? I’m from in the Philippines. Thank you.😁
Have you owned any Bellroy bags? If so how do they compare
i have not owned them yet unfortunately!
Sir What is the price north face surge backpack?
And when available in india
not sure what the price will be in India, but it should be the same price as last years Surge!
Thoughts on the North Face Borealis?
im just not a fan of those external cords. They get caught on things easily!
nomatic 40L travel bag
ooo i gotta test that out one day!
Its my bday! Can u give me one of ur bagpacks? 😂🥰
haha happy birthday!
I can Oder
That's one closet I'd get lost in! 😁
Would you say the Surge is too big for an EDC for work?
depends what u do for work haha!
But yeah I think a better size for EDC would be around 18-25L. BUT when its not filled up, this bag remains slim which is good!
@@DesmondCheng I’m a teacher. Usually carry laptop, iPad and some student work
@@SRC598 I think this would be great if your are a teacher! Alternatively look at some of Aer's products. It's a bit more expensive but looks a lil more sleek in design.
I personally enjoy the Osprey Tropos more than the surge, but its personal preference!
@@DesmondCheng thanks for the feedback Desy. That definitely helps with my decision.
I just got the ascend boogie 28L backpack from bass pro, best backpack in the world for $59 to me👌🏾 Yall should try it
taht looks like a great bag, and a great price too!!!! thanks for the suggestion!
@@DesmondCheng Anytime. I just try to help👌🏾
👍👍👍
I get big d energy from this guy
Someone. Has a bag problem
lol.. yup!
