Great review, answered all my questions. Moving away from an Ortleib with the velcro rolltop and I was trying to decide between a barrage or rolltop for Vancouver rain commuting.
Update: went with an earthpak backpack (amazon) - not the most attractive, but rolltop, waterproof and 55 liters and $90. My problem is putting to much stuff in it.
Hi, i dunno whether you'll reply this or not. So 3 years after the video, how's the bag holding up? Seeing a lot of comments in multiple videos that the bag falls apart after a year or two. Thanks!
I sold it last year, but it held up exceptionally during the time I've owned it. And I'm certain it will carry on to be useful for few more years, as long as you don't abuse it.
Great review and demonstration. My only question is about the measurements and dimensions. When I entered your dimensions into my calculator I got a volume of 36 liter! When they say 28 liter is that the minimum size, perhaps when the pack is rolled up completely?
They have different size measurements just to be conservative? This bag is huge and I know they have a smaller version for sale too. And yes I suspect it’s the rolled up dimension
0:55 😮 $68 would you still purchase this bag now that it is $160. Looking to purchase a water proof bag as a commuter myself but at that price is it still worth it ?
0:55 $68 dollars this bag is now $160 on the website . At this price point would you still consider this bag to be a wise purchase for a commuter . I only bike to work at the hospital everyday and we are coming upon the rainy season so looking to purchase a bag
Would this backpack work for college students? I commute to and from campus and looking for something that will carry my textbooks, binders, notebooks, etc.
I have this bag it's a very good hard use working bag even though on the second day of use it got dusty and dirty and I couldn't cleaning it well ?the loops on the front of the bag are for locks jackets or helmets. I use a small thick U lock it won't fit well on those loops. The zipper pocket on the top buy the roll top I use that pocket for my tools and things if I need it at the ready there they are. If I carry my cable for my lock I put it it the inner sleeve facing the outside.
It's a Catlike helmet that's made by a Spanish company, they went bankrupt last I heard, so it's no longer being manufactured :( It's designed for round head shape like for Asian population.

Something similar to this, waterproof and with omni heat. No wind gets in. amzn.to/37exULr Also have a lighter nautica windbreaker water resistant similar to this for less cold/wet days: amzn.to/3gHmbbb
What a crazy video. The backpack covers the presenter’s face and the black cat was distracting. Terrible. Won’t buy a bag that can’t be presented well.
great review, thanks so much man. I love your content!
A very good...honest....usage review.2 thumbs up.

Orleib with velcro is just a waste hahahah I have that one and I don't recommend it, I'm gonna get this one.

Inflation should go down... Wait for them to go on sale though when new season products gets released.

Sadly with inflation, nothing is old price anymore, you can try this one if you don't need such a huge bag amzn.to/3yy39hK

For sure and keep them dry if rain or snow too. Just taking the book in and out is a bit slower as it is top load roll pack design
What kind of helmet is that?

It’s easy to clean with some soapy water in a bucket and a soft bristle brush! But I leave the rain and dirt as is to show how well it works 😄
Damn $68. It's $175 now.
Wait for sales, usually at at least 30% discount
YOUR LUCKY. THE 20L. ONLY HOLDS 15INCH. LAPTOP. AND. THE. 30 IS TO BIG. SMHHHH
What helmet model you got there?

What's your wind breaker?
Something similar to this, waterproof and with omni heat. No wind gets in. amzn.to/37exULr
Also have a lighter nautica windbreaker water resistant similar to this for less cold/wet days: amzn.to/3gHmbbb
Dude, that helmet on the left makes me uncomfortable (trypophobia)
Sorry :( Good news is they stopped making that helmet as the company went out of business.

Sorry to hear that, hope you find a bag that fits your needs.
Those were my favourite details in the video! Loved it!
@@TheGizmoGarage I thought the video was awesome!
