Bellroy Via Backpack Review - ESSENTIALIST Tech & Work Bag

Review of the Bellroy Via Backpack which is a truly minimalist, dare I say essentialist, tech and everyday bag that offers a solid build quality and great laptop protection at under $150. The barebones layout may not be for everyone, but what it does offer it does well and in a sleek silhouette that will work across a number of different environments.
What do you think of the Via backpack? How do you feel about simpler bags?

Nice clean simple bag. Definitely found in the CHZ that it's hard to make use of the volume in the upper half without things tumbling out, seems the same with this bag.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! CHZ is another solid alternative for sure, I wish there was a good way to take advantage of that space

[@pharmatographist]

You don’t rest, do you? Yay for talking about the bag standing up on its own, both empty and packed. Suggestion, may you consistently review the standing properties of bags as a separate chapter marker, as well as measure width b/t the straps? It might be nice data to help consumers compare bags. Thanks for what you do Danny!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! I really appreciate the suggestions, will take a look at how to incorporate more of that type of data in future videos!

[@colinmsmall]

I just can’t get behind a bag with the laptop in the main compartment.. it has to be separate and accessible from the outside.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and fair point, that’s definitely something I prefer as well!

[@atmamont]

After a few videos it becomes clear 90% of text is the same for every backpack reviewed on the channel

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback! Will definitely be looking for ways to change up my scripts in future videos :)

[@jnns7243]

On the other hand, the consistency (especially in locations and camera angles) makes it easy to compare bags across different videos.

[@atmamont]

@@dannypacks Great, thanks for the smooth receiving!
