Hey thanks for watching! It's a great bag..just definitely requires a rain cover.

Thanks for watching! What bag are you planning to try next?

Perhaps it will be the portable Daily Plus in green. But the front zip should not be completely rainproof either.

They did mention water resistant material and zippers. I was also quite surprised the front quick access pocket was relatively dry.. I mean it was damp, but not as wet as the main compartment. Thanks so much for watching!

Hey thanks for watching! I definitely recommend a rain cover for this one. It’s a killer bag, lightweight too. A bummer it couldn’t withstand the rain.

You’re so welcome, thanks for watching!

I agree, might be more of an aesthetic thing for bellroy 🤷‍♂️

What’s your current bag of choice??

Not necessarily. I'm sure that much more water would have gotten in through the zippered areas if it did not have the aqua guard zippers.

Hey thanks for watching! Dang, I used to have the venture 22L, it was a great bag. Unfortunately I sold it a while back. Check back for similar tests for new releases!

Hey, thanks for watching! This is a great idea! I keep forgetting I have that bag, it's just sitting at the bottom of my closet. Will definitely do this one, thanks for the great suggestion!

I've user it under hevay water. Only the Middle of the front mini pocket was a little wet.

@@Chalex-lk1tv thanks for your input! I haven't gotten the chance to put mine out in the rain so I'm glad you're able to share your experience.

Thanks for watching! It does not come with a rain cover.

Hey thanks for watching! If you have the time, check out my other rain test videos with an Evergoods and Aer bag, they performed exceptionally well compared to the Bellroy. My old Aer fit pack 2 was caught in a downpour in Amsterdam and had zero water ingress. Let me know what other videos you'd like to see!

Hey thanks for watching! It's a shame really.. Did you also have the strap twisting issue? I was willing to look past the poor water resistance and solely use this as a work pack, but the strap issue was driving me crazy, it got stuck while I was at the airport so I had to sling it over one shoulder while going to my gate. It was fully packed out so that really hurt my shoulder 🥴 Please also consider liking and subscribing, I have a giveaway incoming!

@@thegoldenstateconsumer nope, no twisting strap issue. I mean it gets annoying to put it off but that’s because it gets stuck with my watch. Yours seems to twist at the bucks though. Liked and subbed! 👍🏼

Thanks so much!! @@betodrk

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I wish I could buy all the bags to test, but I don't have that much money 😅

Its an orbitkey sanitizer holder with an aesop hand sanitizer bottle. I was in a rush to put the bag out in the rain I forgot to remove it lol. Thanks for watching! Please consider subscribing, I have a giveaway incoming!

😅😆

Hey thanks for watching! I couldn't agree more. I held on to this bag for as long as I could because I loved the look and weight of the bag. Unfortunately the poor water resistance wasn't the biggest issue for me, it was the twisting straps! If you see my bellroy strap issue video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7qGec90vpzSiIU.html this would happen quite frequently. So bad actually at a recent trip that I had to use one strap while in line at the airport gate cause I could not get it untangled 🤦🏽‍♂

@@thegoldenstateconsumer Thanks for the reply. Keep those videos coming

😅

Hey thanks for watching! Agreed! But I’ve been caught in a downpour in my Aer fit pack 2 for more than 10 minutes with zero water ingress. The fit pack 2 also doesn’t have ykk zippers aside from the front compartment. My coworkers old timbuk2 (no ykk zips at all) also didn’t have any issues with water ingress. That’s why I wanted to conduct these tests because I think it’s an important feature for some people 😄

Thank You about this test. Would you same test on 'Tom Bihn Synapse 19' ?

Yeah I've never had this much water get through a bag before. I've been caught in downpours for much longer with my PD everyday backpack and AER fit pack 2 and never had any issues. Let me know if you have any bags in mind that you'd like to see go through this test! Thanks for watching!

@@thegoldenstateconsumer Hi there , i really like these kinds of water test which give us a clear picture on how exactly the "Water resistent" was advertised. Would love to see how these bags holdup to the rain test. (Boundary Supply non X-Pac Errant Pack / Errant Sling / Prima system, Evergoods CTB26)

@@kohweiming536 hey thanks for watching! I'm glad this video is helping people. Those are really good suggestions! I don't have much disposable income to buy various bags (I wish) but will be looking for a good deal on ebay or reach out to the bag manufacturers for a sample. Another commenter recommended I do the rain test on the peak design travel backpack which I do still have, so be on the lookout for that video!
