Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L

I switched from my Peak Design everyday backpack to this one. Here’s a few things I observed -- it’s lighter and more comfortable. With the peak design bag, even with just my laptop the bag felt pretty heavy- love how I can access the entire bag’s contents when it’s open. With the PD bag, it felt a bit cumbersome that I could only properly access it through the side zips- the zips on the PD bag are way better. Opening and closing was effortless. These zips aren’t as smooth.- the outer material has this weird used and faded look. When I got the bag I had my doubts if I got a used one but that’s just how the material is. The only thing I like about this bag’s looks is it isn’t flashy.- would’ve been nice to have an elastic pocket for the water bottle/tripodI’ll update the review after a couple of months of usage.
