Venture Ready Pack 26L (with luggage pass-through)

I was looking for a bag that I could use whilst walking the dogs to carry water my camera another small items, this is a nice size bag. It fits nicely on your back and when not in use as the photograph shows it squashes down nice and small. It takes a nice water bottle on the side and there’s also room inside the bag to have a secondary water bottle, it’s not a waterproof bag just a weather resistant bag. Zip work smoothly and it’s nice that you can just open the top section to take things out of the bag without having to open it all up.

Firstly, this pack has the usual Bellroy build quality, which is to say it’s very robustly built. Things that I like include the lack of a waist strap (they make sense for hiking but are just an annoyance for a commuting or light travel pack), the removable sternum strap (again, not really necessary for most use), the excellent quality weather resistant zips, the quality fabrics inside and out, and the internal pockets which are useful without being excessive. The laptop sleeve holds a decent size laptop or two; the double main zips run right to the base of the pack which means it can be folded fully open for packing as well as allowing a small opening at any point you choose; and the loops near the zippers make good locations to clip the zippers to for added security (though I think they’re primarily designed for pulling on while zipping the bag closed with the other hand). It’s comfortable for me; I’m 6’4” albeit with more leg than body, and I can’t speak for the fit on people with short backs. Not so good are the external pockets: there is one small zipped one which is hard to access and outs items in the small of your back; and another open one which is not elasticated and fails to hold things properly. Initially I thought the lack of compression straps would be a problem when the bag is only partially loaded, but the fabric is thick enough that actually the bag softly holds its shape without everything rattling around. So, while it’s not perfect—it really needs a better pocket for a water bottle or other external item—it’s still the best pack I’ve found for most day commutes and overnighters.

It’s an exceptionally good backpack however, if I had know that the version two was going to be released shortly I would have waited

Great bag

Wonderful all around backpack. Works great as an everyday carry pack and as a carry on when traveling. The pockets are cleverly placed and have their own, independent, volume. The backpack is stylish, has a large carry capacity, and is made from premium materials. The bag is comfortable but can become slightly uncomfortable if worn for a longer period. My only negative is the shoulder straps could use a little more padding. Overall, it’s worth the money.

A mochila está cheia de materiais de boa qualidade, mas é extremamente desconfortável nas minhas costas, espetando-se na zona lombar como se me quisesse ameaçar. O design é pouco prático, não permitindo que a mochila se sustente de pé, e com uma distribuição estranha de espaço, que não se adequa a mim. Pior, é uma mochila caríssima que é difícil de justificar fora os materiais de boa qualidade.

Toll

Me gusta que sea relativamente impermeable pues puedo cargar mi cámara y mi MacBook sin problema, ahora bien, después de caminar con la mochila, se suda mucho, Thule o Patagonia. No te hacen sudar tanto. Algo cara para lo que ofrece, pero si tienes dinero o curiosidad por probar una marca nueva, adelante

It's lightweight and seems durable. It's not worth the full price of over ¥50,000. But I managed to buy it at a discounted price of ¥26,000, which is a fair price for the product.
