@storm7456 Жыл бұрын
Perhaps it will be the portable Daily Plus in green. But the front zip should not be completely rainproof either.

Good thing rain covers for bags exist, and are widely available. Still a nice bag, especially at a discount price. Right now you can get one for $200 CAD on sale.

Oof, thanks for setting your pack out in the rain so we didn't have to. That's a staggering amount of dampness on the inside of the backpack. I was betting the quick access pocket would be the worst but apparently no. That could ruin some people's electronics real quick. I know this was advertised as an outdoorsy kind of pack but did it mention resistance to water? I can't recall. Looking forward to your other videos on this!
@thegoldenstateconsumer Жыл бұрын
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!

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! 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! 👍🏼

Great looking and well made pack but... For outdoor use in the real world? Simply unacceptable. Although to be fair, they're aren't many light weight packs that can resist water ingress.

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 🤦🏽♂

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 😄

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!
