Remote Equipment Alpha 31 -> living out of it. Can't praise enough. Perfect for EDC and Travelling.
As someone who uses the Fjalraven backpack a few times a week, I have to disagree with it being a good everyday bag. The shoulder straps are not padded enough and after about an hour or less of walking around with this bag on the straps are cutting into my shoulders and making everything hurt. It is lightly loaded with one 8oz water bottle, and change of clothes, and snacks for my 4 year old. Size wise and material, it’s a sturdy bag, but the shoulder straps need serious work for it to be a regular carry.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We appreciate your feedback and we'll inform the brand and work on enhancing their shoulder strap design.
Just sayin...I use the Fjallraven Raven 28 everyday, super loaded with 2 laptops, umbrella, 18oz. water bottle, camera, electronics and LOTS of other stuff...I find the straps to be every bit as comfortable as my Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21!
I won't even put a sling without pads 😂😂😂 seems like a trend bag more than a real bag everyday. Never tried but seems like a basic bag when I looked at it. I use to do a lot of Peak Design but the design started looking like a diaper bag , their slings. I started using Code Of Bell.
the guy says its well worth the price and the shoulder straps are with zero padding loool. literally a mugs bag.
i agree with this! this is why i got the laptop fjallraven (which has padded straps) back in 2017, but even then, i found the straps too thin + the material wore down very quickly for me making it look 'worn out' after ~1 year of use :(
For under $100 you could always go w/ a Doughnut Macaroon too. So many pockets and I absolutely love using it for school :)
😮
Can’t believe the Nomatic backpacks didn’t make this list. They aren’t cheap but are absolutely amazing. Best backpack I ever had. Checks all the boxes. For EDC I would also include the Tropicfeel Nest. Very nice and versatile.
Will take note of this. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Epic review, so many excellent backpack recommendations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The GWA Citadel looks like a greenroom136 rainmaker. I'd buy that over waiting for a drop that's never going to come
This is just the kinda video l needed, a a week ago my 13 yo totto backpack broke after so many years of usage, and now living in the UK I have no idea on what brands are there, thanks for sharing!
Glad we could help! Thanks so much for watching. Cheers!
Bags just get worse after 350 😂😂😂
loool
Disagree)))
The one at 800 is ridiculous
@@swixk may be, but RE Alpha 31 is just perfect for me)
There shouldn't be a budget for a backpack
What a great video with an extensive list of excellent packs. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
@@RushfasterTV What do you think of herschel backpack. I am planning to but a good budget backpack and someone recommend Hershel to me.
Alder Stream canvas is definitely my go to. Not very well known brand, but their packs are some of the best quality/durability to value options on the market. Heavy weight 18oz duck canvas (request to order), full-grain leather straps, high polish belt style buckles all over the pack, machine-pressed rose brass rivets holding hardware and strapping, double, triple, and quadruple stitched seams, all for around $250. Several color options available, and every pack is made to order. I highly recommend checking them out if you grow tired of replacing under-performing day packs every 2-3 years.
Thank you for sharing your recommendation! Alder Stream canvas sounds like a hidden gem with its exceptional quality and durability :)
thanks for your detailed guide 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Love this comparison style on packs cost. Great prresentation mate. Cowabunga.!
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great one! Cheers 🙌
Really nicely done video. Thanks for sharing. ☮️
So nice of you 🥰 Thanks for watching
one of the best list!
Glad you think so! Thank you:)
I need a backpack that can fit a 1 gallon insulated water bottle and a small snack pocket. Any ideas?
For the Jansport option the leather bottom is a bit better for durability and a little bit more dollars. I also love the ll bean deluxe bookbag which surprised me. Just be aware about how you unzip and to distribute the load. I mention those points cuz a lot of the bad reviews are stupid parents blaming the zipper getting caught on the storm flap so they think the zipper breaks and complain about not being able to return. I have a second ll bean backpack which is the mountain classic and also surprised me with the durability and how much I liked it. Dakine student campus backpack is also a nice budget option. I love budget backpacks... can't justify spending more than 100$ right now.
Thanks for sharing your insights! It's good to know about the durability benefits of the leather bottom on the Jansport option. The LL Bean Deluxe Bookbag sounds impressive too, but as you mentioned, it's important to be mindful of how you distribute the load and handle the zipper. The Dakine Student Campus Backpack also sounds like a solid budget-friendly choice. Budget backpacks can offer great value without breaking the bank!
This was super cool, defintely checking a few names mentiones. Although you didn't mention the Aer Pro, i think its a good contender imho 😂
Great point, Freddie! It's definitely worth looking into the Aer Pro with all its cool features. Glad you still enjoyed this video! 🙌
Awesome list. You all always have great content and great presenters.
Thanks so much
For EDCs it's important to consider empty weight too. After years of happy daily use of an eastpack, I switched to a north face recon. It felt so pointlessly heavy even when half empty that after 3 months I sold it and went back to my old reliable (500 g.) eastpack
Thank you for your feedback! When choosing an everyday carry (EDC) bag, it's crucial to consider its empty weight. Your experience of switching to a heavier bag and then returning to your lighter Eastpack emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between durability and weight. The right EDC bag should not only meet your organizational needs but also be comfortable, especially in terms of weight, for your daily use:)
I just got a multi pocket day pack from VANS it is my favorite to date!!
Cool! Thanks for sharing 🙌
Hi everyone,
I previously put a lot of trust in the AER Travel Pack 3, having bought BOTH the 28 and 35-liter versions in the X-Pac variant, and I really liked them. However, they are just too heavy for daily use, especially commuting to university. I'm looking for a backpack that includes:
- separate zip compartments for a Macbook Pro 16inches and an iPad,
- is waterproof,
- has a slot for a water bottle
- features a breathable back panel.
- has a lot of compartments/zippers like the AER, preferably accessible from the outside of the bag
- can be opened completely (sometimes I like to fit a camera packing cube inside as I’m a photographer too, but usually this happens when I don’t have my Mac on me)
Budget is not a constraint as I'm willing to invest in quality and functionality. If anyone could recommend a lighter alternative that meets these criteria, it would be a huge help.
Thanks for your assistance!
Best,
Mattia
Hi Mattia! Based on your requirements, we recommend checking out the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. It meets all your criteria including separate compartments for your MacBook Pro and iPad, waterproofing, a water bottle slot, breathable back panel, plenty of compartments, and easy access zippers. Plus, it's lighter compared to the AER Travel Pack 3:)
I'm looking for a backpack suitable for both daily activities for school and short trips, many pockets, comfortable straps and can handle big water bottle. Maybe the TNF Borealis? Anyways, this video helps a lot, I really appreciate this!
The TNF Borealis sounds like a great choice for your needs! Its multiple pockets, comfortable straps, and ability to hold a large water bottle make it versatile for daily activities and short trips. We're glad the video was helpful for you, thank you for your feedback:)
For good value I.e 75 Aussie dollars I think gym sharks new bag is really good
Great review! Just a quick note: the buckles on the Trakke Bannoch are Cobra buckles, not Fidlock as mentioned.
Thank you for the correction! We appreciate your feedback. It's important to provide accurate information, and we're grateful for your clarification regarding the buckles on the Trakke Bannoch. If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or if you have additional questions, feel free to let us know:)
Honestly Bellroy Classic is the best if you want a unisex backpack that's also classy
Agreed!
Love your reviews!
Please review PKG backpack! It's a Canadian brand and I really love them! great organization and very comfortable. good price point too. Please review them!!!
Great suggestion! We'll have a look 👍 Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and request with us! Cheers
Peakdesign's everyday backpack is gorgeous but so heavy! I prefer my Bellroy Classic anyday unless I'm carrying a camera.
Hello, Omer! Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts. We hope you continue to have a great time with your bags! Cheers
Were you able to get your hands on the Triple Aught Axiom S2 VX? I can't find any reviews anywhere. I got mine today and while I like the form factor I don't know if I can overlook how loud the material sounds. It sounds like ruffling paper. Hoping you can get one and do a review, would love to hear other opinions.
We haven't personally tried the Triple Aught Axiom S2 VX, but if the loud material sound concerns you, it might be worth considering other options. While form factor is important, noise level can impact overall satisfaction. Checking online forums or reaching out to communities for more reviews could provide additional insights.
Can’t understand why you would choose the Fjallraven Kanken instead of the Raven 20, which is far superior in design and comfort as a day bag. Great video though. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback! Personal preferences vary, and some people may prefer the Fjallraven Kanken for its style and simplicity. I appreciate your input, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
I want something simple and different with a few extra pockets and a darker color. Any suggestions?
For a simple yet distinctive option with extra pockets and darker colors, Aer offers several great choices. The Aer Day Sling 2 or Aer Day Sling 2 X-Pac could be excellent options. They feature a sleek design with multiple compartments for organization and come in darker color options. Alternatively, the Aer Tech Sling 2 could also be worth considering, offering similar functionality with a slightly different style:)
Wish i saw this video 11 months ago when it came out. Thay alpha one niner evade in the video is perfect. Sadly it looks like they changed it with an "update". Cant get this one anymore it seems.
So sorry about that. Hope the 2024 version surpasses the previous one. Best regards!
The osprey parsec is the best
Would the North face surge or router be good for travel and EDC. I have a 15.6 inch gaming laptop. Will that work? Hope to hear back.
Yes! Both the North Face Surge and the North Face Router are excellent options for both everyday carry and travel. If you prefer a slightly smaller bag, go for the Surge, and the Router if you want maximum space. Cheers!
@@RushfasterTV What about a good carry on that can hold the laptop I stated. Under 200 Thank you!!
Have you tried the Aer Travel 3 Small as a EDC/Travel hybrid?
Hi Manuel! We've seen customer reviews detailing how it's suitable for both an EDC and travel. Its 28L capacity is a great size to hold all your must-haves while fitting in under-seat storage. Although it may be a bit bulkty for some as an everyday carry, the benefits are certainly worth it. Cheers!
@@RushfasterTV thanks for the answer! Definitely might be a bit bulky, but think its worth it. Planning to use it as a EDC, and taking it to work and gym, for only using one bag. Plus, occasional 1 weekend travel
I love the review ... but the Veilance Nomin baffled me... I suppose you buy it for the brand or something ?, because it looks(and as I see from the organisation inside is almost nothing) like a cheap junk for 20-30 dollars that I find in a random shop in my town. I liked the Alpha One Niner most , great functionality.
It's interesting to hear your perspective! Indeed, sometimes brand recognition can influence perceptions, and personal preferences vary greatly when it comes to backpacks. Thanks for sharing your insights!
how do none of the expensive stuff have an external usb
Good observations! That's a fantastic extra feature, especially in this day and age. Cheers! 👍
Notice the PBJ denim.. I guess raw selvedge denim lovers also like a good backpack..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
The fact that the Carharrt 21 Liter Commuter bag is not here for under 50 $ is criminal as well.
Hopefully, in the next video 🤞
I like this guy
we like you too.
Nice watch! what is it?
Hello there! It appears that Roland was wearing different watches in this video 🧐🤔
@@RushfasterTV I meant the one with the metal strap :)
I still think that Bellroy Apex under $500 is one of the best options :)
There’s no way I see a serica 4512!!!! Hell ya brother
What shirt are you wearing

That’s the Unique Garment 9oz 'Stanley' Selvage Chambray Work Shirt
It's insane to think I still have my Jansport from 15 years ago. No rips on it whatsoever.
Wow! It's amazing to hear that your Jansport has held up so well after 15 years! That's like having a teenage child. Thank you!
I like my Muji bag
It's cute.
why Tumi not in the list?
Tumi might not have been included in the review due to factors such as focus on affordability, versatility, or specific features of other brands. Tumi's price point might have been outside the budget range being considered.
Is the gr1 school useable
Yes, the Goruck GR1 is a versatile backpack that can be used for various purposes, including school. It is designed as a durable and rugged backpack originally intended for military and outdoor activities, but its practical features make it suitable for everyday use, including carrying books, laptops, and other school supplies:)
@@RushfasterTV thanks 👍🏻
Welcome!
Are you quoting aud or usd?
Our default currency for quoting prices is AUD :)
@@RushfasterTV thanks. So many Australian content creators quote in US dollars because that's the market they want to target and is really frustrating.
@@RushfasterTV I'm confused, you say in the video USD...
No Bellroy Apex?
Not included in this video
No Ospreys? Also Fjallraven is more than Kankens
Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We value your input. True, Fjallraven offers more than just Kankens. We'll definitely take that into consideration for our upcoming videos. We're constantly exploring different brands and products to showcase, so keep an eye out for Ospreys in our future content!
sir, while watching this i was always distracted by your timepiece. what watch is it? so handsome. thanks.
Serica 4512
you have wrong timestamps lol
Seems to have been a youtube bug that has now resolved itself.
What seriously surprised me, is that of all the bags you presented, you did not have one that had security features and are mostly all a pickpocket’s dream. I would use non of them, simply because for the use as an everyday bag the risk of theft in a (crowded) subway or bus is way to big, because all pockets are exposed to the front and not to the back. An additional point is that non of the bags has an external USB plug to charge you phone from an internal power brick.
And just for references: My daily backpack is the Kingsons Beam Backpack, for $ 120.
We will take your comments into consideration and explore options that provide better security features and convenience for our customers. Thanks for watching!
Can't believe a human being wants one of those USB passthroughs, can't imagine how one could wash that bag without breaking it. Maybe putting your phone in the bag while charging is too much for some people
It's pretty freaking easy to turn your backpack around and wear it on your chest in a pickpocket zone...
@@intamin9256 Yes, but you do realize it is called a BACKpack, right? I mean that is kind of the point.
... having being pickpocketed in Paris subway... yes.. I get the point. Now back in Sydney I feel so safe that backpacks don't bother me. Have to be always streetsmart though..
No black ember...
not in this video.
I will NEVER understand the hype around Fjalraven backpacks. Honestly I would expect to pay £10 for a backpack of that size and quality. They are ugly and they are EVERYWHERE.
Be the person who buys another backpack.

The Fjallraven is so overrated, I don’t understand why everyone hyped about it and still are, I got one and it doesn’t fit much, doesn’t have many compartments for organization and above all it’s uncomfortable. The only thing is that it looks cute 🙃
We appreciate your feedback and understand that not every product suits everyone's needs. While Fjällräven bags are known for their classic design and durability, we do offer a wide range of outdoor gear that may better match your preferences for storage and comfort.
