I love how this video, which is an ad for his backpack, is sponsored by Shopify, which runs his store. He's monetizing his monetization lmao. Brilliant.

Where was this back pack 10 years ago, I literally ran across my middle AND high school with 25-30 LBS in my bag, and I went through a bag every year. This bag I could probably still use it today. Especially I can relate to so many of the key points Linus brings up / addressed. Literally above and beyond

This is a really well designed backpack and I would love to get one BUT there is no way I can justify the 300$ it would cost me to ship this to Switzerland.

At $360 USD to buy, ship and import into the UK, I simply cannot justify the cost, despite this looking like such a good product. Add the 40oz water bottle to go with it and it's an eye watering $421 USD 😢

I think a slim version would be amazing too. I feel like it's a bit bulky for my personal use.

I’ve been using the backpack for about a month now. I LOVE IT. The even weight distribution is the biggest thing for me. When you pick it up by the top strap, the weight won’t lean to the front or back. Makes it feel lighter even when it’s stuffed. I can’t wait for the LTT Wallet.

This is a really well designed backpack and probably would be the last I owned, but for over $300 CAD, I still wish for slightly more features. I know Linus is always open to any improvements, so please hear me out! I could add that the sunglass holder can be placed below the outer pocket, that way it can have a hard shell. Having it at the bottom is an unexpected area to have sunglasses for thieves, and having vertical zippers would allow you to quickly store/retrieve them without any awkward arm reaching or removing the backpack. Also, one of the selling points in bags especially in Asia is blade-resistant bottoms. It’s common for thieves to slice the bottom of the bag and loot your stuff before you get a chance to react. One final addition could be outer clips or straps to carry large objects, I really enjoy the two straps on my backpack currently so I can carry around a small skateboard. To go above and beyond, I would have a collapsable expansion area on the main compartment if the issue was storing bulky items. I hope Linus sees this! It’s a great bag, but for that price point it has to be absolutely perfect.

When shareholders and marketing don't get involved in r&d, actual results for the consumers. Making something that will last is against every business 101 it seems these days. Thanks, mate!

So in other words, this whole backpack saga was just an excuse for Linus to make himself his perfect backpack😂

Really well designed bag but personally I'd love to see a revision of the backpack with an external easy access pocket for water bottles. Might feel like a nitpick but that was the deal breaker for me even though I absolutely wanted to get this bag. All my other bags allow quick access to my water bottle on the outside so having to set this bag down, unzip it, take out the water bottle, drink and then put it back in seemed to inconvenient for me and ended up being why I didn't get it.

I absolutely love everything about this, from the space, the detail and care going into the design and materials... even the colour scheme is basically as it would be if I could customize it myself. It's my dream backpack... It just costs too much for me. Especially with shipping, import and VAT having it sent to me here in Norway, which would probably take the price up to $335.

Really like the thought and features packed into this bag. Unfortunately, I never need to carry that much stuff and I think the bag is far too bulky for someone who will use it like I would. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a smaller version that will be designed more as a laptop bag and less like a travel bag.

We need a commute/office slim version of this backpack. Looks fantastic

I'm somewhat let down by the lack of internal cable-management solutions in this backpack.

That's a really good backpack, seriously all the ideas and thought processes behind it are astonishing. It's understandable that the price is so high but that's also the reason why I won't buy one (yet). I'm really glad though that companies are beginning to think "how can we make the most durable and best product" and not "how can we make a cheap product that the end user will have to buy multiple times"

Such a shame it's so expensive to get in EU otherwise it would have been an instant buy. Looks amazing well done !

This bag is so awesome! If you ever open an EU shop, I'll get one the minute it opens! Sadly for now with shipping and import customs applied, it gets too expensive for me. I hope you can work something out in the future because I know there are a lot of EU boys (and girls) wanting your products but shying away because of the aforementioned reasons.

Wow, the warranty on this thing must be really good with how well it's made!

I got this backpack for myself not that long ago. As a 6' 3" almost dad-bod dude, it just feels a bit small. Fits on my back pretty well, but I feel the straps are a bit small for my shoulders and kind of digs in a bit. But overall, everything else is pretty good so far. Especially since I tested it out recently on a flight and checked to see if it did fit under an airline seat. It really does fit well.

This bag is impressive, I can completely understand the price tag given the effort that was put into it, but as other have said, a EU friendly shipping option would be really appreciated. $50 just for shipping, and with import taxes, I'm now looking at a $360 backpack.

I would LOVE a bag like this with HALF the space. It's a great backpack but it would be to bulky for the things i use it for. A smaller one withbthe same straps, zippers and sturdyness would be an instant buy for me.

Finally got my backpack, starting college at 24 years old next month, this is my ultimate tech/school backpack. It's built so nicely I took my Steam Deck and Switch out of their cases and put them here. Can't think of a single backpack I'd have that much confidence in.

As someone who spent $300 and $100 on two Goruck backpacks this looks to be a well built and very well thought through backup. Gorucks have a military design behind them and they are focused on being tough. I love the laser focus on the problems the backpack is looking to solve. I don't use the big goruck one very often but I daily drive the smaller and it's...fine. it's not really focused on carrying and protecting a laptop. Would love to see a slimmer version of the LTT one for people with less tech to carry. Anyways looks like a great product and if I am ever in position where I need to carry a lot of tech I will be buying one.

Hoping for EU shop at some point since customs can be a pain at times. Would go for bag + screwdriver and quite a few other things, and not even considering all the fun stuff hopefully coming from the lab :) Although I understand it's easier said than done but maybe sometime in the future if you get to grow more.

Been waiting for this for over a year! But it breaks my heart how crazy expensive it is to get it to Sweden. About 500$ when all taxes and shipping (not to mention toll charges) and I can't justify the cost 😭

I kinda love it, but find it hard to justify $250 for a backpack. I've bought 3 backpacks over the last 15 years and what I've wanted out of a backpack has changed each time and seeing as I've spent about $40 each I haven't felt too guilty about changing them around. First one was for school and I didn't want it too big so I wasn't carrying around too much. Then I got a larger one so I could carry more travelling. Wore that one out and when I got my new one I got a similar size one but with better internal organization (and fewer external pockets, didn't really use them on the last one).

So proud of you, Yvonne and the rest of the team, Linus. The sky‘s the limit!

Man I love the design philosophy of this. Feels like Linus basically designed his perfect backpack and ran with it, which is what makes a great product. As an aside, would you guys consider a slimmer version? I'm thinking along the lines of this exact backpack but without the second pocket (the one you put the towel and stuff into)? I'm looking for a new backpack for when I go into the office and want to carry my laptop, keyboard, mouse, charger and the rest but I'd rather not have the added bulk of a big space I'm not likely to use much

this looks like a perfect backpack for me since i carry alot of devices around at college, just not sure about the $250 price tag as well as the bright orange interior. an option that was maybe a more modest grey on the inside rather than this super bright LTT orange would be more preferable

The thought that has gone in to this is amazing, shame I have no need for a tech focused backpack or I'd buy one right away

This video finally convinced me. I've been watching LTT and Short Circuit with every new video and listened to hours of adds and shameless product plugs, but this was finally the moment where I decided on pulling the trigger. To hold your product until suboptimal market conditions (past "back to school" shopping season) to maintain high quality standards, shows me that the level of detail going into this product is something I want to experience for myself. Long time lurker, first time customer. Can't wait to see if this lives up to the expectations I have for it. I will review this thoroughly once received as I am yet to have a positive experience with other similarly priced bags.

I stumbled when I saw the price tag, but can still appreciate all the engineering and design that goes into your products

I love how much effort and time they put into their products. Makes me really happy as a consumer and more likely to buy from them

I love how he back track on warranty

I was skeptical at first regarding whether you guys could make a backpack interesting but honestly, a well-made one can really be your best friend for many years and this one really seems to have a lot of thought put into it. Good job! If international shipping costs ever become reasonable, I might just order one.

Honestly Linus when I heard the price and how many issues you guys were running into I assumed, well its gonna be a nicer backpack with an 100$ LTT brand tax for people who want to support the content via merch purchase... I dont have it in front of me but from what your showing here I was wrong. This was well designed, thoroughly tested and looks to be one of those "life time" purchases. Well done. Props to both you and the team for bringing this to market.

$250 and no warranty wow

This backpack looks amazing. The cost seems totally justified given the quality, channel merch customization, and features. I'm saving up for it, and hope to swing it for the winter holidays

It's a great thought out product. I'm sorely missing one small, but to me, crucial detail. No outside waterbottle/can holder (like a stretch mesh pocket). When I wear a backpack I often walk around in cities or in transit from train to bus or likewise. That is when I'll (while still walking) reach around the left of my body, grab the bottle, have a drink and put it back while not requiring me to stop to open a zipper :)

Looks like a really neat backpack!. I had a look at it when I received the email about it being in store, but sadly it's just too expensive to ship and import to EU :(

I've been waiting for this. The only backpack I've found that comes close to this in terms of size/layout was a Helly Hansen one, but I wasn't happy with the layout of that. This one is just perfect. I can tell a LOT of thought went into designing this. Ordered one today. Can't wait until it arrives!

this would honestly be perfect for me, potentially a smaller version tho for daily travel. but the version you have there is the best backpack i've ever seen. good job guys, really well done!

This is the first thing I’ve bought from LTT because I’m so sick of spending a bunch on laptop bags that turn out to be trash. This one checked every single box I had, so it was a no-brainer to get it. Looking forward to it getting here

My favorite part about Linus is how brutally honest he is, even with his own products.

it's always nice to see someone build something truly great in isolation: function first. Then figure out what it costs and make no adjustments, props to Linus for not having anything here that isn't needed but EVERYTHING that is needed keep up the good work and let's bring back repair and longevity

I just got my LTT backpack yesterday!!! And I already have contructive criticism: 1) I miss having snaps over the pocket sleeves in the rear-half. I do not want my stuff, laptops, etc. to fall out of the backpack when the backpack tilts over. I want stuff secured. 2) The internal water bottle holder. I know this was a coin-flip of a decision, but I think it might have been better to have an expandable pocket to hold the water bottle. I use this spot to hold my small umbrella. I like the holder being inside the backpack since it gives an overall CLEAN look, but for quick access it is a pain to open the backpack to access the water bottle/umbrella. I still LOVE the pocket. 3) The front section of the backpack is huge, which I love! I think it might to great to create an "organizer' that is down facing and gives tall "slots". I know you have the tech sack, which I will order soon, but I think it would be wonderful to give users an optional SLIDE IN organizer that has verticle cublicles, so items can be slid in and out. Maybe the organizer if adjustable to people can add/remove sections or special pockets/holders. And when someone doesn't need it then it can be removed to allow larger objects.

This thing looks awesome, could literally pack just this for a short trip. It's a super difficult price point for me to justify personally, but glad to see a ton have sold already based on the info on the site.

Can't wait to get it...."looks at the price" well looks like I'm gonna sit this one out chief!

you keep making pure quality products and I'll keep buying them. I don't even need a backpack but this deserves support just to get away from the designed obsolesces in normal companies goods

Some critiques (based of the video alone): First, this is more of a daypack or weekend pack and less so a backpack. Would LOVE to see the love and attention the team poured into something slimmer for a proper everyday carry. (targeting 6 to 7" depth instead of the 11.5") This was clearly made for the North American traveling market. Europe's travel sizes are comically smaller. A proper gap at the bottom of the electronics compartment to protect them from placing a heavy bag down on a hard surface. (or have Linus give a better demonstration of the internal webbing). Beyond that I think you guys nailed it. The craftmanship is probably top tier. It's the creature comforts you've added that will make this product shine above and beyond.

I would love to get the Backpack, and for me it would be totally fine for 250$ with those features and sturdyness. But with the 70$ shipping Fee and the Import Taxes that I would have to pay, It'll be about 450€ to get the Backpack and a Water Bottle. This is more than what I pay Rent for my 452sq ft Apartment (Yes, Housing in Germany is cheap). Unless LTT gets a Warehouse in the EU, so that Shipping is a bit cheaper and we don't have to pay Import Taxes, it'll sadly be a pass for me...

The backpack looks really well thought out and rugged, kudos. I really like the carabiner zippers, and the tag pocket. Seems great for tech nerds, travelers, and light hikers alike. That said, could there be a slimmer version in the future? Something, like 2/3 thirds of the depth just for the looks of it. Also, each pocket looks awesome, but if removing some of them got this bag to like $150 price I think that would be a banger product as well.

Nice design but I got some idea maybe for the next generation of linustechtips backpak. I'm a college student that daily drive or should I say rides motorcycle to campus. So, a good quality backpack with great ergonomic, function, durability, weather and shock protection is a must from me. First, weather protection. It's essential from where I came from since it rains a lot and most people uses motorcycle to go to work, and we've found the best solution. RAIN COVERS! It's so light, compact and more effective than any other premium waterproof material since it create another layer so condensation from the rain have another layer to go through before it reach your devices. Removable rain cover with its own dedicated compartment in the bottom also help your backpack clean since you only need to wash the rain cover rather than the entire bag and separate your dirty covers from the inside of your backpack. a rain cover also mean covering your bag to any other means of damage like dust, dirt or oil when you're exposed to the weather. For ergonomics, this 35 liters backpack is going to be very uncomfortable to carry since it doesn't have a HIP BELT. Other than motorcycling, I also go hiking a lot and I've carry 20, 30 pounds of stuff up and down mountains. Hip belt are a must to transfer the weight to your stronger bigger leg muscle rater than breaking your shoulder not having it. It also adds stability when you combine it with supporting rigid frame. Laptops especially gaming laptops weight a lot and surely can damage your spine in a long run if you carrying it wrong. If you dont like it, make it removable! you can also adds easy-to-reach pocket to your hip belt like carrier style hiking backpack to carry small but frequently used items like wallets, keys, lighter, or multitool. Another great idea for increasing the ergonomic of the backpack is to transfer heavier stuff closer to your back, by using COMPRESSION STRAPS so it doesn't tip you back if it's filled to the brim. It's great way to accommodate wide range of need and stuff without necessarily compromising ergonomic, an adjustable volume backpack. BACK SWEATS. the most effective way to get rid of back sweat I've ever tried when I hike is using a trampoline styled back system, let alone air, a wind breeze can pass your back easily using these bad boy, google it! Next, usability. Most of backpack here have built in battery pack hub so you can plug in your own battery pack to its built in slot in your backpack so you can plug your cable OUTSIDE of your backpack. So, you can still use your phone OUTSIDE of your backpack while you charging it with your battery pack INSIDE of your bag. This way, you can store your phone in your pants pocket where it belong, while charging it from your backpack at the same time. Mind-blowing right? Next. I notice a most of tech guy uses glasses including me because we stare our screen longer than we supposed to. Some backpack include a dedicated hard-shell compartment for glasses so you dont crush your glasses under all of your device. Nitpick and bells and whistles. You need to put external water bottle pocket, so if your bottle accidentally opened its not when it's inside your bag ruining all of your electronics. There's a whistle sternum straps buckle adding another functionality to your bag without breaking the bank. And your anti-shock system for laptop compartment could use elastic material so it reduces the momentum of impact for your laptop inside your bag.

Just ordered this after getting my school supplies ready for my return to college since Covid. Realized my old bag had a hole in the bottom that a softball could fit through. It's expensive but I hope it will last me through my college years and beyond. Can't wait to get it (Wave 2)!

I think the backpack looks great and seems extremely well thought out, but for $250USD I also can't find any information on any warranty outside of the 30 day return period. What if a strap, handle or something breaks - will there be any repairs/replacements? If so, how long into ownership could someone expect that to be honoured? Other backpacks in this price point (and sometimes less) come with lifetime warranties. Would be a bummer to drop this kind of cash on the backpack, have something happen in the first few months of ownership and be basically out of luck.

sadly too expensive for me (and seems a bit bulky to be honest) but very happy to see it out and i hope it will open the door for much more from lab and creator Wearhouse.

Wife got this for my birthday. Arrived a week ago and I've been daily driving it for work. I can literally keep all my work stuff in here and switch/DND gaming accessories. If you lost your office to a nursery recently this bag is life changing.

Really like the design of this and it’s clearly made well. Fingers crossed you guys bring out a lite version

I believe you have just accidentally created the PERFECT backpack for DJ's/ Music Producers, this directly rivals similar offerings from the "industry standard" companies (UDG & Magma)

we urgently need a EU/UK friendly store. awesome backpack.

I really appreciate how they put a lot of thought into their products. this isnt a china tag swap job. Good job Linus and team!

Linus has come a long way and he has achieved so much, congrats to you and your family. One day you have to write a book. Respect!!!!!

I think average people will never appreciate the level of sample buying and back and forth it took to get this thing to where you guys wanted it. But as someone whos a production nerd, albeit in the world of print production of books and the like, I can see this was a long ardous process to have made.

This looks like a fantastic backpack but an option for a smaller more compact bag for people who don't carry as much would be nice.

I love my backpack 🎒. Perfect for traveling and college work.

Just ordered mine and it shipped the same day! Pretty excited!

I would like to see how some of LMG's big boys handle the fit of the backpack. I personally hate most backpacks cause I have broad shoulders and most backpacks are too narrow for a comfortable fit. This leads to digging in at the armpits and weight not being distributed over the whole of my back and centered on my spine. Anthony!! You are my size guru for all LTT merch.

I once had a Lululemon backpack that was similar to this in some ways and the price was only slightly cheaper. That one held up for a good amount of time but this one exceeds what I expected your bag to be released as. Ordered and excited to retire my other bags to daily drive this one.(they are all failing in the exact spots you mention.) I appreciate the design outside the durability as well, it looks like something that will still look "cool" through the years.

I am going to consider this definitely. I almost had that I buy a good backpack and then find they didn’t build straps or stitching well enough. Oh and the metal adjustments is amazing when it come to my well being.

Thank you Linus, i too have struggled to find a backpack that fits my needs and I'm excited to give the LTT Backpack a workout. (I carry a lot of stuff)

Got Backpack number 2 at the pop up sale last month. I have been using it every day since then and I absolutely love it. The pack holds so much stuff comfortably and is very comfortable to wear. I rate it 7 out of 5

This looks like a fantastic travel bag, and I love the attention to detail, and I genuinely might grab one since my travel bag is starting to show signs of age. I think this is just a bit too large, especially as someone with a smaller frame, for me to use as an everyday bag though. I would love to see a similar amount of love for more of a slim EDC/Commuter/Office backpack, and would 100% daily drive the bag if it has similar levels of durability.

Looks great. A couple years ago I would have bought it without hesitation. My tech bag was a janky laptop bag that just happened to have good dividers and a lot of stow space for things like ext cords and every USB adapter you can imagine (to sound, to other usb types, to video, and different types of each as well as ethernet). Not only would it have fit in the LTT bag better, I would have been able to leave 80% of it wired in place with just a couple pieces that needed to come out to be fiddeled with. Hell would have just left one of my PoE switches right in the bag and had loose coils to grab and go, good clearance to route cord out and if needed a small usb fan to keep it cooled.

The chest strap for riding a motorcycle is super useful. This backpack looks awesome! When the one I'm wearing wears out I'm definitely getting one of these!

I'm desperate to buy LTT stuff, and would be more than happy to spend a lot on it as its all built well and to last, but it's almost impossible while being in Europe with the shipping and import. I feel like they need to sort out partners to actually deliver the merch instead of making more and more for just North America. Surely they can see the amount of profit potential there would be?

Me when Linus first announced a backpack: Omg wtf why does anyone need this?! How can you improve upon a backpack. Me while watching this video: omg why has no one done this before?! This is incredible and revolutionary! I keep forgetting how anal retentive and perfectionist Linus is and it REALLY comes in handy and shows with the products he makes. Well done Linus and team! Not sure I’ll be able to afford it anytime soon, but mine is about 15 years old and showing some wear.

Underrated feature, the orange interior you wouldn't know how many times I lost some small black or grey thing in my bags with a grey interior

Love how well thought out everything is, I would totally get one, if I would be travelling lots. Unfortunately it seems a bit big for everyday use of just bringing just a laptop, lunchbox, LTT water bottle and some sunglasses etc... Would love to see a version with all key features in a smaller footprint. Keep up the good work. I'll buy a smaller one for sure! Even if it will still cost around $200, since it might be the last backpack you'll ever buy.

We need an ultimate backpack showdown series now. Take all the “best in tech” out there and compare, better yet, send the bag to those competitors and let them make the judgement. Peak Design EDB + Tech Pouch versus LTT Bag, fight!

I've never run to an online store so fast in my life. Bro is literally innovating. FINALLY. A BACKPACK THAT ISN'T FAULTY GARBAGE. Like brother you have no idea the SERVICE you and the team have just provided to me. HOLY SHIT the millions of tech things I carry around in my backpack. If little high schooler me knew that the day would come when his favorite tech UKpostsr would solve half of his life problems - like holy cow! THANK YOU.

Just bought a new laptop and before I even started to really shop for bags I got recommended a short that referenced this bag. All the thought you guys put really sold me on this bag.

There are 3 things that i believe could use improvement: 1. Need an exterior water bottle holder. The clip on ones fly around too much, so a dedicated exterior water bottle holder is a must for quick but secure access. 2. The air-tag pocket needs a velcro strap to keep it from jossling loose. 3. I want the LTT logo on the back in orange letters ;)

This is the first bag I've seen that I would want more than my current Swiss Gear bag! If only it didn't cost so much... But if mine finally bites the dust, which I don't see happening any time soon, this is top of my list!

I'd love to see another color way for this, but with how long it's taken for both this and the screwdriver, I doubt we'll see it any time soon. I've not personally been a fan of any of the orange merch, like the WAN hoodie, workshop jacket, or new LTT color block, but the ShortCircuit color schemes, like the ShortCircuit version of the WAN hoodie and color block and the new retro fleece, are great. I know it's only the internals of the backpack that are orange, but I'd love to see the purple and blue from the ShortCircuit hoodie or maybe the multi-nep / northern lights / RGB color scheme.

Absolutely glorious! Insane bag! I kinda want to get one, but alas, it's just a bit pricey. 😅 I'd do it to support you though! Love ya linus! Love the orange highlights and interior to match your logo and make it easier to see inside! Nice! 😁👌🏻

That back pack looks so incredible that I was totally ready to impulse buy it even though I don’t need it. Luckily the $250 price tag deterred me lol

I love how over the years, since I started watching LTT(~2016). Linus has managed to build amazing brand and really grow as CEO and understood his role in the company... Kudos for that, many CEOs have much to learn from you.

Just received your backpack, and Amazing experience 😊 totally worth the money even with shipping to Netherlands 👍 this a the best backpack I ever hold there around 🤣 so big I can put my work stuff and on a way home pick up 12 pack of a beer 🍻 thanks man for your ideas 💡 and to make them real ❤️ keep rolling 🤠

I saw LTT backpack and expected it to hold a full size desktop pc and a CRT monitor. I miss the old LTT videos.

im so tempted to buy one... i love intentional and thoughtful design

Between this and the screwdriver there's a lot of needed engineering going on at LTT, this is exciting and I can't wait to see what you'll come up next.

Hey I just bought this backpack been watching for a while and I'm glad I could finally support you by buying a cool backpack. I couldn't figure out how to leave a comment for the WAN show. You're also the first youtuber I've bought something from. Next I'll get some stuff from Philly D lol

This bag is so ADHD-proof. By the time he talked about the front pocket being designed to open like that because you couldn't accidentally spill things open, I realized I'd never had a bag so completely designed for all the little ADHD forgetfulness costs in my life until now. Seeing this bag moved me in a way I didn't expect. Thank you Linus, for designing a bag for people like us.

I really hope that some day, you will bring your store to the EU. I really want this and some other goodies but it gets pretty damn expensive with the shipping costs, tariffs and tax added. One man can dream...

I now understand why this costs so much, great job on the design! Still too much for me but sure it’ll still sell well.

This bag genuinely looks great. So many small features and options that really add up. The problem I have is the price. $250 is way too expensive imo. I'm sure in the long run, it would be worth it but so would other cheaper bags that come with a warranty just in case they don't hold up.

Beautiful backpack and design, really loved it. Great video also. The only thing keeping me down is that I'm from Argentina and 300usd it's like a whole month of work or more.

This looks great! I could have used this over my last 4 years of college, but if I end up carrying around a lot of stuff for work I'll definitely pick one up! (screwdriver I'm picking up day one though) Additionally - hearing the $250 price tag earlier sounded a little high, but after this video it 100% makes sense. This thing is made to last.

There's one little thing you've missed, BUT it can be a detachable section in the big compartment. Something to carry a DSLR or mirrorless camera with one or 2 lenses... THAT would be the ultimate, multifunctional, lots of banana for scale backpack...

It really is an epic backpack. Came back to this video for a refresher before travelling. Expensive, but you might end up handing it down to your children.
