The Bellroy System Work Bag is an attempt to bridge the gap between the cycling messenger bag and the sleek and minimal work bag. And we think it's a pretty good result. It's a well-sized messenger that provides protection and clever organisation, whilst also being convenient and sleek for the modern professional.

Best. Bag. Review. Ever. Period.
Everything I was looking for and exactly what I need. Thank you, you don't get enough credit.
That 3 seconds closeup of you feeling the bag cracked me up a bit - but thank you for this video! It really made me click Checkout on the system work bag sitting in my cart :) Now it's just the decision on whether Blue or Grey.... grr!
Just wanted to thank you for an excellent review I wish you could review every bag I ever searched for you did a phenomenal job!!!
We appreciate the support, we'll continue to create useful content for you guys! - John
Great review very helpful, thanks for taking the time to do it
I’ve used this bag for the past 7 months for work and travel. I have the charcoal color way which has the recycled nylon material. While it’s great, I feel like it shows dust and dirt a little easier than the other colors probably would. The front pockets also are positioned so that they catch dirt and grime. If you overfill this back it does lose its shape at the shoulder strap attachment points. I have not been able to get it back to it’s original shape but it’s not a huge deal
Overall it’s a fantastic bag that punches above it’s weight in terms of capacity. I’ve been able to fit a 16” laptop, Sony headphones, EDC items, and a Ronin gimbal in this bag. Quite impressive to say the least.
It's a nice looking bag with good features.
Hello, thanks for the video. Do more tech bags
Love your detailed review! I hope you could also do the Bellroy's Shift Backpack review as well.
Yep we do have a video for that! - Check out our channel! :)

What a great review!
Thanks for the support! :)
I must say my friend the thumbnails are on point.. very nice review as well I really like bellroy products it’s just that these aren’t available in India...
I wish they still made it in this colorway. But the Midnight is pretty good. Matches my standing pouch plus too.
Thanks for watching! - Prikee
@@RushfasterTV Cheers. Thanks for the content.
I got mine for Christmas and used it every day since then, i absolutely love it. I got the charcoal one which is from recycled material and i think its really nice made, also the shoulder strap is really firm so its nice to carry even if you carry heavier things. The inside pockets are really good organized but the water pocket is my favorite one, i have my S'well bottle in there so it really keeps it organized. The only downside is that the bag does not stand completely upright when you sat it down. But all in all i would totally recommend it and thank you Rushfaster for this really good and detailed review of the product.
Felix H. Was just about to ask if anyone knows if it stands on its own, love a bit of structure on my bags.
Do u still recommend it till now?
@@MrWanted000 Yes, i still use it nearly everyday and love it! Great size, functionality, design.
@@felixh.90 does it fit a sleeved 15” laptop?
So you recommended it for a business office usage?
@@MrWanted000 I have a MacBook Pro 13", have it in a sleeve and there is still room so 15" should be fine.
Great review! Thanks

What’s your favourite casual-ish briefcase after reviewing this, the Filson and others.
Really good review, I own the system work bag and it’s easily my favourite (just to note I’ve owned a couple of Bellroy briefs and found them a little small) just to elaborate a couple of points;
- the one handed opening mechanism is something I never knew I needed, but it’s really useful on the go, can easily walk about and open / close it if I have too
- I’ve also used this bag for a couple of 1 or 2 day business trips, the 16ltr capacity can easily fit a couple of shirts along with essentials. Plus it doesn’t look out of place when heading to meetings (quite the opposite)
- the bags clip is also expandable if you need to fit more in, they mention it on the site but it’s sort of hidden
- finally if I were to critique the bag I would say they’ve gone a pocket heavy on the inside, the two inner pockets aren’t needed and personally I would prefer the extra storage, the interior pop out pockets for water bottles / umbrellas etc is a nice touch.
I know ppl that are put off by shape, the bulky magnetic opening and the price, I think from a practicality aspect it’s well worth it.
Great notes Marc! :)

What color did you get?
Felix H. Blue, but the charcoal colour is also really nice.
@@scaz83 I'm thinking of getting one, but only if an A3 folio of about 33.5 x 43.5 cm in size can fit. Do you think such a folio could fit in the messenger?
@@felixh.90 blue - but wish I went for black
Hi, I've got a large water bottle (measures 30cm or 11.8 inch). Would it fit the bag?
Will the 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro with the Rushfaster sleeve fit in the laptop compartment?
Black interior, won’t be able to find anything.
Can it stand on its own if there was say just a laptop alone in there?
Hope Bellroy will make a mini one for iPad!
Not a bad idea! - Ed
can it work as a camera bag?
I want to blue one you have but they don't sell it anymore =\
Are all these styles of bags made with recycled materials? I just received a black one and it had tags claiming it was made with recycled plastics. I thought it was only for the charcoal color..
Great question. Bellroy aren't super specific with the specs on their fabrics (breakdowns and percentages etc), but I do believe that the Venture Weave polyester does use some recycled plastics. How much recycled - I'm not quite sure. The Charcoal one is different because it's made of 100% recycled PET bottles. It's a completely different fabric but the Black and Blue are Venture Weave Polyester I believe (kinda confusing really haha).
Hope that helps! - Ed
Nice review. I want to get a Bellroy backpack. It would be nice if you could work on your audio, there is a lot of echo.
Thanks for the feedback! We've been on constant review of our audio capture, but will see what we can do! :)
- Ed
@@RushfasterTV Cool, good luck. I really like your content. Hang up some thick sound absorption blankets and get the mic off the camera and as close to you as possible or use a wireless lav system. A extra light for over head shots would be good too. It is hard to see inside the bag when you are showing that, at least turn up the exposure to exposer for inside the bag.
Do you have any idea if it can be washed? I want to use this bag as under seat carry on and I worry about the nasty germs from passengers using the restroom.
Hi there! For this material, Bellroy recommends cleaning by simply wiping a damp cloth. And as tempting as it might be, never put it through the washing machine. You can find more info here: bellroy.com/our-materials
I got this as a casual/professional bag when my backpack is too casual. It’s really nice except for how the shoulder strap attaches. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to last all that long. The leather loops might break but I’m not sure yet.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on this one! We would love to hear an update from you after you give it some more time. Have a nice day Matthew! -Rolan
So far I just love the design layout . A year ago I got my wife the Tokyo tote and I love how the inner water bottle pockets pop out as needed and the interior is a nice feeling material. The mesh pockets feel better than any mesh I’ve used only second to the apex backpack.
The front two organization pockets are great although I think they could have made them a little larger as it’s kind of fiddly Getting ahold of the zippers as they sit below the lip.
The strap isn’t great feeling but it works just fine. Just doesn’t feel that great to me but I’m not really sure what I’d change.
And while I’m very glad bellroy use the recycled material the basalt feels a little less premium IMO. It is a little softer and over the years might be worn down by abrasion but hard to tell right now. An evergoods 500D nylon feels much better IMO but probably would be too flexible for this type of bag.
This just makes me wish they leaned a little more into the briefcase style or offer another option. These are all nitpicks because overall it’s both professional and casual and works in any environment aside from the outdoors
Can A3 papers fit in them? About 42cm X 29.7cm
Hmm I don't think so. You might be able to fit them in the main compartment, but there would be no way of protecting those papers from getting damaged.
Still probably better off carrying an external carry case for those. Hope that helps - Ed
Could it fit my 16 inch MacBook and my 12.9 inch iPad Pro?
I want to know too
Bellroy says it fits up to a 15" MacBook so it's a bit hard to tell whether or not the new 16" will fit. It might be something to reach out and contact Bellroy with for more info. Hope that helps. - Ed
@@RushfasterTV thanks! Always ready to help
Does the tablet sleeve fit the 12.9" iPad Pro?
@@Ken-dm5xt yes
Why when doing review they always use black or dark color its not for your pleasure but the viewers appreciation that counts right?
Haha sometimes it's just what we've been given by the brand. Sometimes we don't get a choice - but in this case it might be more to do with the lighting and contrast of the video. We're doing our best to keep improving and this is one of those things! :)
Thanks - Ed
Can it fit 16” laptop?
Hmmm you might have to check with Bellroy, depending on the size and bulkiness of your laptop it might not fit in the dedicated laptop sleeve. But if you have a separate case or sleeve for it you'll definitely be able to fit it in the main compartment at least.
Hope that helps! - Ed
@@RushfasterTV Will an A3 folio 33.5 x 43.5cm in size fit in the main compartment?
First comment！
I only like backpacks. One strap bags are terrible for your back
is it just me or he purposely changes his height to 5'10 and sometimes 5'11 every single episode
Hahaha thanks for paying attention!
For a long time I was under the impression I was 5'11 but sadly I'm only 5'10 *facepalm*
The more recent videos I make sure to mention 5'10 haha.

looks way big versus normal guy's body
