Best praise vs top criticism for Bellroy Classic Backpack

Best Praise

I’d recommend the bellroy. Much more work- appropriate. I personally think there’s no age for a backpack, but maybe that’s also what he would consider more « age appropriate » as well, since the arc is more hike-oriented and the pata is more airplane/travel oriented. 20L is more than enough for the average office-work bag. More is quite bulky, and may be not handy in the subway. The design and divisons look good to me. I have good experience with bellroy as a brand in general (wallets), I read once in a comment their backpacks are not as good but I’d get some more opinions. It’s a rather expensive brand but I think one can appreciate that the materials and finishings are premium. I don’t know of cheaper alternatives. Maybe able carry ?

Yeah, I agree with this. Bellroy sells low quality items, touted as premium.
