This is amazing, Aaron! It's a little out of my budget right now, but congratulations anyway, Aaron! Here's to Fyro!
nice honest review! i can imagine that this was a bit weird for you but that felt like a normal bag review, if i wouldnt know better i would think its just a random bag and not yours hahha. It is not the bag for me cause for me its to big, but cant wait for a fyro sling ;)
So weird haha but awesome to hear that the review seemed authentic.. cuz it was!
Love this short!
Cheers!
Awesome bag... for me the plastic dangle stoppers are just great... that's such a great idea... bravo...
Thank you! Shoutout to our development team Bagme for the suggestion
You should make a review of the brand seventeen london, the model Wimbledon, it’s very similar to this one but much cheaper
I’ll check em out!
I'll be honest Aaron, for the longest time I didn't like the the look of the Fyro bag. But somehow, its growing on me now. 😅 Congrats man! 🔥
Thanks for that and that seems to be the sentiment from a lot of people - which I’m very stoked about. My wife said it best to me one day, she said ‘babe, your backpack isn’t Ryan Gosling, it’s Adam Driver’ which I thought was PERFECT 😂. Still incredibly handsome, but in a way that has a bit more character 😂
From the outside it looks like Thule Lithos (if I'm not mistaken for the spelling) but this backpack is different from the inside & has extra features that Thule don't have. Be ready to be amazed.
great call! Def some similarities in terms of the front hatch, but like you said, completely different execution basically across the board. THANK YOU!!!
Self standing + gussets are awesome - good job man.
Glad you like them!
I would like review with consideration of women’s chest comfort. I find most cut across and into a at least one half of woman’s chest. Others rise too high up.
Check out our sister channel Gear for the Girls!
Would this fit under a seat? Be great to have za companion that would
Great question! It depends on the airline and so many factors, but should def fit under the majority of most seats :)
Seeing it in video form I think it looks really good!
agreed! It looks great in photos but much better on video as it shows the completeness of the bag's character
Please. I want subtitles
UA-cam has automatic subtitles - turn em on!
At first I didn’t like the water bottle holder not being permanently attached. Once you pointed out the replacement ability when the mesh deteriorates, I am on board.
glad I could convince you 😏
Just letting you know you bag has already reached a Brazilian customer 🌎🇧🇷
obrigado!
good review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Is it magnetic?
I think so yes
Congrats. Been following the backpack development and so proud you finally have it out. Am in Hong Kong right now and loving it. No wonder you’re based here.
Thanks so much mate! And yes, Hong Kong is an amazing place to live 🇭🇰
So wonderful to see this come to fruition, Aaron. I've been following your videos for a bit over a year now, and it's really great to see a bag designed, built, sold, and funded by enthusiasts of the hobby. I know some will say that the look of the bag is a dealbreaker for them--personally I think the look is one of the reasons I like the bag. It's unique. No other bag out there looks like the T22. I'm happy to support the Kickstarter, and I look forward to using it in person!
Thanks so much for your support dude!! And yes, the look of the bag is quite controversial… but we are very proud of that! It means that we took a great risk and it’s not going to be for everyone but we found a niche of people who love it and that’s what it’s all about - making cool products that work for a certain group of people ❤️
Could you review Tomtocs Navigator T-61 Rolltop?
It’s on our wish list!
you lost me at the laptop not being protected. The cheapest decathlons solve the issue
I wouldn't say it's NOT protected, but it def could be better for the price point
Seeing you review your own bag was hilarious but also really helpful to get to see in depth the features of the bag. I love that you made it under seat size and expandable. It's the gussets that are making me waffle back and forth on ordering. Really cool bag, regardless. I'd love to see dimensions on the hatch.
Thanks so much! Hatch dimensions are 10" tall, 7" wide, and about an inch of depth 💪
hell, the price is the same as peak design, but without all the solutions they use that increase the price, such as metal clasps, magnets on the arms, or handles that can be hidden and allow you to attach things to the front. Nice idea, but it looks like a laptop backpack that can be bought in stores specializing in laptops.
Thanks for your feedback! The bag definitely has a controversial look that won't be for everyone, but we invested HEAVILY into our own unique stack of premium materials, including double bonded lycra, 330D polycarbonate Kodra nylon, silicone leather, custom ripstop nylon, high quality power mesh, and a 600K Kodra polyester with non-toxic PVC coating. We could have cut the price of the bag in half if we cut these materials, but we wanted it to be the best, hence the higher price point 💪
ooh, also - lifetime warranty also helps ;)
Nice backpack, but looks too businesslike.
thanks so much! And yes, it's designed to be the ultimate work bag, so at least we were on brand there!
Best bag for a traveling surfer who might have to carry wet gear?
check out Sympl - they should be right up your alley
Too expensive ! My son will probably destroy this within a semester… I’ll pay $70… doesn’t boundary supply have a light weight line! I do believe their prices are more reasonable and they have more heft… that’s a no for me… I can’t edit to receive my fyro for Christmas or New Year…I’ll go with BS in this case eventhou I’m team belroy mostly
thanks so much for your support with Fyro!
My gosh this is so cool! I have been looking for the perfect backpack for four years now and religiously watched your videos to see if I could find it. I just ordered mine and am so excited. I don’t care about a backpack being clamshell personally so the gussets don’t bother me. If the gussets could be separated in half by zipper, Velcro, or buttons then people could have their clamshell backpack. You are so inspiring Aaron!🎉
thanks so much for your support and belief in us!!!
I'm actually more excited for this after watching your own review on the bag! All the best for the campaign! 🎉
@Nomads.Nation - Also forgot to mention how well does the bottom part of the back panel hold up against belt rub? This was an issue on the Boundary Errant where the mesh would get worn away. Other brands such as Able Carry resolved this by having about 1-inch of non mesh material from the bottom. I think Boundary did the same in their revisions of the Errant.
thanks for your support mate! The double bonded lycra is very durable and should stand the test of time but it will obviously vary from person to person and how much wear and tear they put on the bag
Many congratulations Aaron It's been great to follow the development of Fyro, and the final product looks very impressive. I pledged in the first couple of hours yesterday! Go Fyromaniacs!
thanks so much!!!
just backed it up! lets goooo...
appreciate you believing in us!!
The bag turned out great! I wonder if the lycra meterial will last long with all the rubbing and scratching which happens all the time?
thanks so much! Our designer has used the lycra on a few other bags on previous brands and said it stands up to the test of time, obvioulsy though this will depend on everyone's usage/wear and tear
sling back soon?
maybe 😏
This magnet hardware is far from secure = the major flaw of the sling actually… ((( In my experience, some accidental bumps while you're wearing your sling loaded with some valuable stuff in the crowd rush could lead to unlocking magnet hardware and the bag fall down = hapenbed at least twice with me already, could not trust it afterwards!!!! ((( To give you more details - when somebody in the crowd not intentionally bump on rhe magnet area to the direction where you unlock it intentionally - it will unlock!!! And these kicks and bumps are possible in the crowdy surroundung...
so I've been wearing this sling for months now and while I see what you are saying it's possible, it's literally never happened to me ONCE
Congrats on the Fyro T22 launch! Backed it on KS and excited to see it come to life. Would be curious to see how this compares against the Evergoods CPL24, since this provides the flexibility between 22 and 26. Seems like a good option for people who wants a smaller CPL24 but enjoy the flexibility of larger size from time to time.
thanks so much!! And yes, that was our goal, to have a bag with a spread that can do both EDC and travel, but not in a way that's too big (and therefore looks bag when expanded and/or doesn't have as much functionality)
hey Aaron, let me compliment you on making a nearly perfect bag. I have watched the video, read the whole kickstarter page, and it seems to me like you did everything right and made what maybe will come to be the most functional and useful bag there is. That being said, I am choosing not to support it on kickstarter, i.e. buy one, because to me, it's not perfection that makes you love a bag, it's the imperfections. You will like a good, functional bag, but won't love it. I think what is missing is a bit of character: it's the rough edges, the imperfections, that give something, whether it is backpack or something else, character. And I think the Fyro bag, as perfect as it may be, lacks that. I don't mean this as criticism - it's just my point of view. My Errant Pro, for example, is not a perfect bag, but I love it anyways. Is that something you can understand?
I appreciate your support and honest feedback! I will say though, if you watch my review of my own bag you'll see that I very clearly point out the cons of my bag - cuz no bag is perfect! ua-cam.com/video/uFTGJexabIk/v-deo.html&lc=UgzXyYdf_GZOelfUt854AaABAg
Congratulation on the success, you are so deserve it, very dedicate and enthusiastic energy from you in Fyro. Kudo to the way you did for communication and update the progress since day one.
thank you so much for the kind words!!
I pledged on kickstarter as soon as I got the calendar notification. Great review! You have me sold on the hatch. On my bags (Able Carry Thirteen, Black Ember Shadow 26) I can never get use of the front pockets. When I pack out the bag it is very difficult to access the front pockets, so they become useless. I don’t think this will be a problem with your bag. I’m looking forward to the day I get my hands on it!
thanks for your support, and you nailed it! The front Hatch is just meant to be extremely accessible as many front pockets on bags can be so damn tight :)
Congratulation
thank you!!
do i understand correctly?. pay now but get bag in december? if so, cant do that.:(
that is correct! That's how Kickstarter works - it allows creators like me to pitch an idea to a community, and if we get funded, we can use that money to do a production run!While the timeline isn't ideal, we neutralize that by offering the bag at a one-time low price of $199 USD (versus $285 retail). Hope that makes sense!
Backer #99 reporting in. The amount of thought and customisation that’s gone into this bag is simply unreal! I’m happy with my aer flight pack 3 backpack but had to support this cause. I’m way too invested 😅
can't thank you enough mate, I got 99 problems but your support definitely isn't one... too corny? 😂 😂
@@Nomads.Nation Hopefully that number of problems decreases during the campaign haha
It has been amazing watching your ideas taking shape and coming to life, and finally making it to Kickstarter. Your attention to detail is spectacular, and this bag will be very sought after. Very brave and honest of you to review your own creation! I would love to see a review of the Fyro done by your sister, as long as this doesn't cause issues between you! With some exceptions most things (not just backpacks) are designed for men, so to have a female perspective on the bag would be interesting. I am looking forward to my Fyro when it comes, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is battling with that sternum strap attachment, I have wrestled with this design on another bag and it did not end well. Perhaps something to consider in a future version. Thanks again for keeping your community informed and up to date and wishing you and your team every success
thanks for your support and suggestion - Gear for the Girls Fyro review coming soon!
I’m looking forward to using the water bottle holder, love the orange/copper, the hatch looks interesting can’t wait to try. I’m so happy for you and how well it went in kickstarter.
thank you so much for your support!!
I absolutely love how you reviewed this bag. Honestly, I can't tell you designed it given how thoroughly you reviewed it. No bias at all. I even feel you went harder at it than some others. The flap for the hatch is making me doubt the design slightly. I'm super torn. I also really don't need another bag in this size and functionality. But you really made a super nice bag. The flap for the hatch aside, the functionality this bag brings is amazing. Functionality wise there is nothing to critique. Nicely done!!! My wife will kill me if I get another bag as well. Hmm Also cool to see you got the 16" mbp mold :).
thanks for your support mate! Yes I actually think I did go a little harder on my own bag, but it was important to me not to seem biased, and I think it all worked out!
So bad to know that delivery to UAE is not available. Much frustrated
We are making it available! Please email me aaron@fyro.co and I'll give you more details
