Great vid as always! I would love to see the original TBB in a future vid. After using TBB new version I have come to love it even more. Douglas is a stand-out dude and really is great to talk with!
The Conceal inside the Conceal kinda looks like a Porter Yoshida or if Tom Bihn tried designer tactical. TB had some stuff in blue parapack and reminds me of that. Anyway, thanks for letting us nerd out with you. Great vid
I have the last version of this bag and use it as my EDC/gym bag daily. It’s definitely a “big” feeling bag versus my GR1 21L. It is an awesome pack. One weird gripe I have… I’m not a sternum strap guy. So, I removed it immediately. That being said, I immediately then reattached it because the webbing along the straps is not elastic and with the sternum strap removed they become loose and sloppy looking. I also added a small loop field over the Brown Buffalo label so I can put a patch it I want. As usual great review and thoughts on a wonderful pack. Thanks!
Dope overview man. First time you showed off the burnt orange pack it killed my desire to order the regular one. I'm going to try very hard to remain steadfast until they come out with a color and material that I really want (hopefully not black and not Cordura). It's that or I'm going to end up with like 5 of them.
Varies, I believe they use very extensive robust velcro which for the most part takes a LONG LONG time to wear out. In general velcro can wear out but it takes a while to wear out.
how did u get the 4 attachment loops for the webbing? mine doesn't have it. reached out to TBB via email, fb and ig and they only read but don't reply. douglas said that it would be available on their website but i just can't seem to find them for sale!
I just got the 30L Brown Buffalo. It’s black with the orange interior. It’s absolutely beautiful! But, I am really disappointed about several things. One, there’s no real laptop compartment in the back. It could be a laptop compartment, but it’s not raised from the bottom. So if you put a laptop in it I expect it will slam into the ground. Next, there’s no organization in the front pocket of any kind. I like that they have accessories available, but at $425 for the bag, I expect they would have all of the accessories available. They don’t. Overall, I am amazed by the quality. I love the look and construction of the bag. But I don’t think I could even use it. Not without a whole lot of accessories just to give it some organization. Construction = 10 Looks = 10 Size = 10 Organization = 3 Real world use without accessories I would guess = 5 I am majorly disappointed. And I don’t want to say that. I love buying from the free world versus non-free countries. I love quality. I am sure the designer has thought out things well, but why not have things like a laptop pocket that’s raised off the bottom? Why not have organization available even if have to buy it? To have nothing in stock is just so disappointing.
Did u just say u love buying from the “free world?” You’re kidding right? America isn’t as free as you think and it’s all masked behind a bunch of lies and propaganda. That comment literally made me spit my drink. We are causing wars all over the world spreading our so “democracy.” While ruining every country we touch and masking our reasons for war behind some lies that “they” are the enemy. Our media is censored if it doesn’t fit the narrative. Hell, we can’t even have an open ended conversation anymore cos we are all to sensitive. BLM is a hoax and investigated for the use of their money. This Ukraine war is due to NATO trying to expand when the agreement was not too. Biden sons heavily invested in energy in Ukraine.. gee don’t u wonder why? Ukraine president is a puppet for the states. Please don’t comment with that free world crap..
Buy the mods… worth it. The organization will be there. Yes, expensive but you chose to buy one of the best bags in the world. Hand made. I have the 30L as well and a 26L Conceal OPS with a bottle pocket. Love them.
Hmmm, I don't need a lot of organization so that's perhaps why it didn't bother me. I think with just a piece of foam at the bottom the laptop part is fine. I know it's a bummer to add to a $400 bag but it does do the trick. Hopefully they get more of the MODs in stock. They are built wonderfully.
@@jtinseoul7041 this is my main problem with them. They don’t have anything in stock. They responded nicely but when they don’t have it in stock it makes the bag useless. I am all for buying US Made and all for top quality over luxury brand names. But sell and provide it all as a kit also and have everything available. I would have gladly spent $750 to have a bag that I could make my own and it would live up to the hype. I have so many bags. I recently added the Able Carry Max. Love it. The other thing is I am a world traveler. I run an investment company, and I literally travel nonstop four to six months per year. I have to take a MacBook, iPad, kindle and two iPhones. That takes up more bag space than one would think. I also need one suit which I wear when flying with a pair of nice shoes. Everything else that fits in the bag is casual and workout style clothing. It doesn’t look as professional to have a backpack, but I just don’t give a damn most of the time. My ultimate bag is closer to a GoRuck GR2, Evergoods CTB35, and Brown Buffalo crossover. There are things I like and dislike about all of them. I feel like Brown Buffalo Conceal 30L would be perfect if it just had the organization I need. Even if I have to pay extra. It just has to be available. I am willing to pay extra to have the laptop compartment have three CM of space in a false bottom. And one would think since the owner is a bag designer he would really understand that. I need the bag to look good. Get my stuff from A to B to C and back to A. I need my MacBook to be safe from a slight drop. Is it really too much to ask? I really am not going to stuff a t-shirt at the bottom to help protect the laptop. It’s one of the bag’s primary jobs for ME. I love talking bags. I love your videos. I just wish they could provide an all-in-one kit at Brown Buffalo. Then I could take and make it work exactly the way I want it to. The interior looks awesome for sizing. The straps are great. The front pocket is nice to allow me to put in a way to organize the way I want but the organization tools aren’t available. Like GoRuck will I wait years for the part I want? Who knows. But I just find unforgivable that in this day and age of travel my laptop cannot be suspended three CM off the bottom of the bag. Design 101 right there!

Nice, and weird on the sternum strap! I've never removed one on a TBB. Ironically the older versions didn't have one and didn't have a place for one.
Did you add it using a magnepatch?
Great detailed review dude! Love it
Perfect timing! Needed something to watch on the elliptical. Thanks man!
haha. Woooooo!
@@jtinseoul7041 wooooo!
Good stuff man, that closet is looking awesome!

haha, I have two. This one and an MCB one. Of the 21L variety at least :P
what are those backpack hooks?!
haha, I have one of the Vietnam Coyote V2 as well. It's a great beater.
Attaching a dirty ass skateboard to such a beauty is much more ballsy than I.
I wish I had the funds to jump on the last drop. It looked like a Carryology collab! Thanks for the overview.
Definitely was a looker! I think the pre-order is still live.
9:04 I don’t know if you can see that… 😂 It looks almost twice the size!
What is durability with velcro? What in case sand will come in your backpack?
Varies, I believe they use very extensive robust velcro which for the most part takes a LONG LONG time to wear out. In general velcro can wear out but it takes a while to wear out.
The inside of the bag is amazing, I like it. Don't say you're moving out of the bag vault 😔
haha, Not yettttttt! I just cleaned it up!
I sometimes think that the Conceal looks a bit too much like a tombstone!
haha, I don't think I'll be able to unsee that.
Nice! Where did you get those buttoned attachment loop things for the porterpen pouch?
They came with the bag.
@@jtinseoul7041 they sell them now!
What pouch is that you attached to the side of your BB?
how did u get the 4 attachment loops for the webbing? mine doesn't have it. reached out to TBB via email, fb and ig and they only read but don't reply. douglas said that it would be available on their website but i just can't seem to find them for sale!
Have you reached out via email recently? They added a new team member dealing with CS I believe.
@@jtinseoul7041 just 2 weeks ago. Still no reply. Let me try again later this week. Hope i get a reply this time!
Thanks JT!
