In this video we will be comparing The North Face Recon (2023) and the North Face Surge.

Review of the updated version of the Modern Dayfarer Backpack which already offered a stylish look and great functionality and now has upgraded materials, a streamlined silhouette and a few other tweaks that make it even better to use.

Quick comparison of the Patagonia Mini MLC 30 and the Black Hole 32L backpack which are two of the most popular minimal travel bags I have featured over the past few years. Both have a versatile size and useful organization, but have a few similarities and differences which might make it difficult to decide which one might be best for you.

Review of the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L which is a durable and comfortable everyday carry bag that will work equally well in the city or the outdoors. The bag offers a minimal aesthetic and solid organization / laptop protection and is quickly becoming one of my favorite new bags of the year.

Review of the Matador Globerider45 which is a larger travel backpack option that provides some nice organization, weather resistant fabrics and a robust harness system that takes inspiration from technical hiking packs. If you need something that can handle the outdoors and will provide you with a supportive harness this will be a solid option to check out.

In this video we will be reviewing the brand new Pro Collection from Aer which is their first line of sustainable bags and includes 3 backpacks (24L, 20, 12.5L) and a pro sling bag. Each item uses Aer’s new 840d Recycled Nylon and the backpacks have an updated organizational layout along with the same protection for your tech that Aer’s bags are known for.

In this video we will be taking a look at the Knack Convertible Duffel now that I have had a couple of weeks to put it to real world use. Overall, the bag offers many of the same benefits of Knack’s previous offerings which include a professional aesthetic and the ability to expand and compress to work well for edc and travel. If you were a fan of Knack’s previous expandable backpacks and are looking for something more streamlined and that can hold a little more than this will be a great option to check out.

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 Mystery Ranch Blitz 30 Backpack which is a rugged 30L everyday carry bag that offers a great organizational layout and comfort. If you are a fan of Mystery Ranch bags and are looking for something with a tactical aesthetic and a clamshell opening this will be an excellent bag to check out!

In this video we will be unboxing and doing a first look at the recently released Knack Convertible Duffel. The new series introduces an updated look and a new organizational layout while keeping many of the things that made the original Knack Pack such a versatile bag. This will be a high level first look of the bag and I will be doing a more in-depth review in the future.
