Thanks for your review, a few comments. I've ordered one but waiting for delivery... - Love the yellow interior, having had bags that are black inside, finding stuff especially when lights are dim on a plane can be tough. Yellow helps a lot. - Organisation front of pack reminds me of TAD Axiom s24/s2 which i loved, so very happy to see similar setup here - It is a touch on heavy side but i can deal with it for all the functionality - Shoe compartment is unnecessary imho... overengineered (generally i'd say the bag is a bit too overengineered and could have cut back on a few of the features. Agree with hip belt/sling bag comments). - Two insulated water pockets is too many, only one needed imho. - I have a 16 inch laptop and then another 16 inch portable tablet like 2nd screen so love the two laptop compartments. Also have two kids and storing both their tablets also another great use case. - Top zippered pocket inside main compartment seems overkill and tough to access when bag packed out - Love the external water bottle holders/tripod holder/walking stick. Love the external carrying system. I own goruck gr2 which is awesome but lacks some of the organisation i loved about the TAD Axiom s2 i own (but this pack is a touch small at 19l.... couldn't get hands on TAD Axiom s24....). I've ordered this Limitless pack and hoping it is the right mix of the two packs. No pack is perfect though..... but the search for the perfect pack is pretty fun. Will keep an eye for your new pack Aaron, thanks for reviewing this pack. Very surprised at how few reviews there are of this pack as there's a lot to like.... imho!

I love using the two front pockets great quick access pockets the little pocket at the top is an AirPod pocket the interior color has grown on me . There have been you tube videos showing the abrasion resistance very tough water resistance ok . I don’t have any complaints on the straps . Cons for me feels heavy it doesn’t fit my 17” work laptop . Solution I put my laptop in a sleeve and put it in the main compartment . Insulated side pockets speak to me 😊 I use the clip at the top to hang Sony headphones case . Using the laptop compartments for my 2 iPads . Bought it through kickstarter not sure about paying $300. Using it as my work backpack

Aaron, I love this lemon like colour too. Maybe I cannot see it by my own eyes. But You can find everything quicker than in all these black Interieurs. Lemons are very much invigorating. The tension is rising! Thank you for sharing this backpack. My newly interest in backpacks has been newly initiated 8 years ago as Everki began with the orange Interieurs. For me a game changer for the whole industry. Now I prefer the Alpakaps, especially the blue Interieurs. But this yellow shouldn’t‘t be the last try in the invention of yellow Interieurs. Maybe other more noble yellows will be found! Please don‘t underestimate the role and the benefits of the Interieur colours!

good review and I think you held back! yellow is totally fine but bigger issue is the bag is too expensive for what it is. the interior fabrics look really inexpensive, the main zip seems undersized (e.g. cost save) and the feature set is a bit random - I can see either the outdoor activity bro using the insulated compartments, mesh exterior holder, bottom bumpers and shoe compartment, or the tech bro wanting the laptop compartment and admin panel. This bag seems to cross both and not great for either? The style is more tech than action. If you told me the bag was $179 - $199, I'd believe it more easily. But at $299 there are so many premium bags to choose from. Thx for the video, interesting watch!

It might be good for parents of babies, toddlers and kids? You could keep food warm or colder.

Carry a hat in the ball section. I dunno, it’s probably useful for someone, years ago this might’ve been attractive to me without the horrible yellow but have found better brands for my budget, style and needs.

IMHO the best feature of this BP has to be the insulated pockets. Very few bags have those and even fewer have two of them. As for the lining, while I'm not a big fan of the color, it's not a deal breaker for me. While I prefer a nice light gray or brown interior, I've also become quite accustomed to the bright colors being used nowadays, like orange, green, and in this case, yellow. My biggest negative though, has to be the price. It's probably justfied by the materials they use but, I've got duffels and backpacks that are waterproof and can float and I got them for less than half the price of this one so, I think I'll pass.
