In this video we will be comparing The North Face Recon (2023) and the North Face Surge. Both a decent amount of space, a solid build quality, plenty of organization and comfortable harness systems, but there are some slight differences that might make one better than the other depending on your needs.

Review of the Herschel Little America Backpack which is one of the most popular tech and everyday bags for commuters and students around the globe. I’ve had hit or miss experiences with Herschel and in this video I will be discussing my impressions on the comfort, capacity, style and tech protection after using it over the past couple of weeks.

Review of the Alpha One Niner (A19) Evade 1.5 Full which is one of the most popular everyday bags on the market and offers pretty much all the features you could want out of a backpack. It has a great organizational layout, comfortable harness, plenty of space and comes in at a pretty reasonable price. If you are unsure what bag to go with and you want something unique and versatile, this is a good place to start.

Review of the Goruck Bullet Ruck - Laptop which is a an updated version of a classic everyday carry bag. The bullet ruck has been a reliable and more compact alternative to the GR1, but lacked the dedicated and bombproof laptop compartment the GR1 has. With this new version of the Bullet Ruck, Goruck has added a laptop compartment and improved the back panel to provide more support and make it a very compelling alternative to the GR1.

Review of the Arc’teryx Granville 16 Backpack which I have been curious to check out for a while. The bag has a minimalist aesthetic, highly weather-resistant materials, and holds an impressive amount for a 16L bag. If you need a sleek bag that can keep your stuff safe in the rain this may be a good one to check out!

Review of the Solgaard Lifepack Endeavor (with Closet) which is an intriguing edc / tech bag that can expand to work as a travel backpack. Although the closet system leaves a bit to be desired the bag is packed with features and may be a great option for anyone who is looking for one bag that can do it all.
