We know Mous has absolutely nailed their phone cases, but have they nailed their backpacks?! Especially this Day Backpack as it's a bit different from their other bags..
As opposed to security being its #1 focus like their other bag, the Extreme Commuter Backpack, this pack focuses more on style! Not only does it have a super sleek and clean aesthetic but it also has some great weatherproof materials that are also very lightweight. It comes in at 20L which I think is just a great EDC size, this will not be a big bulky bag you have to lug around with your day to day essentials.

G'day mate. Mum use the Extreme for a scrapbook project. It has enough capacity for her needs including mini & macro tools & materials. Extra attachment/mods on the shoulder straps enabling quick excess for her shades, flash light, metro card & tac pen etc. Great alternatives but not cost friendly. Cheers mate.

Imo, if the price is a tad cheaper, it will be an "interesting" bag to own really. A real EDC, nothing crazy, very functional, special in its own way. On the side note, great channel, very good presenter which authentic charisma. But i havent seen much love for thule bags, why so? Just got thule subterra 2 travel bag 26L, yet to try.

@@Nomads.Nation if you get the chance to get Decathlons (I think their North America name is Quechua), I would also suggest taking a look at the Decathlon Forclaz travel 500 40L backpack. For me, these two options are just about unbeatable in the 23/32 (NH500) and 40L (Forclaz) market segments.

I've been using Mous cases for 5 years now and must say I am quite impressed with the brand as such. Having said this I kinda like the logo for exactly THAT reason... You have this serious business looking bag, but lets be honest, a little playful logo never harmed nobody and it kinda loosens up this serious business look. So yeah, I take it. Compare it to bellroy, the owl also looks not so serious. Having said this as well: I need a recommendation: Kapten & Son Bergen Pro or Bellroy Tokyo Totepack Compact? I really love the look of the Bellroy and its organisation. But I also love the fact that Kapten and Son made a similar bad with waterproof zippers.

@Nomads.Nation Ай бұрын

great points! I've never heard of Kapten so I can't say for sure unfortunately

@svenv.1182 Ай бұрын

@@Nomads.Nation Now that you said it, I actually couldn't find reviews for the bag except for the ones the company did themselves. Question is, am I abled and willing to pay 120€ to try out a bag? Maybe you can recommend something: I am looking for a bag, approx. 14L. Shall fit a 14" laptop, I need a waterbottle pocket on the outside of the bag to hold an umbrella because if its wet I don't want it inside the bag. However I will also need a bottle pouch inside the bag, for my actual drinking bottle. Other that that I want a meshpocket similar to the Toyko Totepack Compact because of its elasticity to fit my Ray Bans with their case. Plus enough room to fit a light jacket and a seperate compartment for a book. Top that with waterproof zippers and voilá, my dream bag.

@@svenv.1182 you might have to make your own bag lol cuz I don't know any that ticks all those boxes. The Able Carry 13 is the closest I can think of

@@Nomads.Nation Thanks, I checked out the Able Carry and though it looks really nice and they offer international shipping, I wasn't able to find a retailer in my area. I got a great deal on the Bellroy Tokyo Totepack Compact now, though. So I will check how that bag works in everyday life for me and if it doesn't, I will go on to the next bag. Keep up the great work.

@jcloiseau Ай бұрын

This looks like mous, looked at the modern day farer and said: "hey I can do the same but worse.... But mine stand wooh hoo!" I see absolutely no compelling reason whatsoever to buy this over a modern dayfarer v2. The mdf2 at least gives you access to main compartment even when top is closed and you have a separate laptop compartment. The only reason I can see would be the materials and overall "neatness" of the pockets inside where the mdf2 now feels a little dated. I hope David, is looking at a v3 with nice sunglasses pocket and better arrangement inside and maybe drop the whole shoe compartment for a self standing. And make the water bottle holder tighter.

@zoamel8066 Ай бұрын

Agreed the shoe compartment is the main reason why i wont invest in one it’s such a completely unneeded thing for most peoples edc. I want a nice everyday bag not a gym bag you can be an everyday bag without being an everything bag which is what i feel the mdf2 tries to hard to be. I def want a v3 without the shoe pouch and self standing is such a good feature on bags its the main reason I’m contemplating sending the Bellroy venture ready pack back to amazon it cant stand up for shit unless its fully over packed.

@jcloiseau Ай бұрын

@@zoamel8066 I mean, it's not a big deal in day to day life, but yeah I would love for a v3 to have a model a) with just the same design improved and a version b that would swap the the second side pocket and bottom foot access for a side opening to main compartment to pull a camera out for example.

@PositiveEmo Ай бұрын

I wish the bag was symmetrical with the bottle holder. There isnt ant reason to not put on on the other side. Same with the hidden pockets.
