This is the best review I’ve watched on fast packs thank you for getting straight to the point and for addressing things outside of the bag like human rights - I loved the visuals and concise comments - very excited to follow future videos!!

My goodness! You really should do reviews full-time, it was that good. Your attention to detail - not just minutia, but serious, consequential detail - is refreshing. Thank you so much for your excellent work on this review!

Thanks for the review, I bought an Aonijie C9111 on the strength of this video and I've got to say your comments are spot on. Thanks. @7:21 I find if you loosen the shoulder straps the pack will fall backwards allowing you to access the bottles stored in the side pockets, once you have taken a drink and returned the bottle simply tighten the shoulder straps.

Great review! You have a good eye for details and answered a lot of questions i had. I love how you organized everything in the video and compare them side by side. Made me pull the trigger.

Apart from being one of the very few videos on this backpack (which I have been observing for months), this review is really very well done, better than other famous youtubers who tend more to promote a product (perhaps with personal interest...) rather than showing its true features and functionality, strengths and weaknesses applied in a real world context. Really congratulations, I hope you can continue this activity because the level of detail is already very high.

I take this opportunity to ask you a couple of things (before deciding whether to buy this backpack):


1) With what weight (approximately) did you use your backpack during fastpacking? Have you experienced any bouncing during the running phases? (or within what weight limit do you think the backpack starts to bounce?)

2) Do you think that the bungee compression cords are easily removable and replacable with static cords? (which in my opinion would have a better effect in stabilizing the loads and reducing eventual bouncing effects)

Thanks in advance, cheers from Italy!

That's what i call a review, thanks :)

Thanks for the very detailed, unbiased review. It's great how you drill down into minute details, and even show specific usages of the various features (which I often can't figure out, due to lack of instructions). A breath of fresh air among Youtube product. I have been buying Aonijie gear, and over the years they keep getting better and better. To the point that instead of just being cheap copycat gear that they are superior to the big name brands in various ways. I will definitely be picking up one of these packs. Keep up the good work!

Best Aonijie C9111 review on YouTube. Well made!

[RideAlongside]

Subscribed. Tremendous review. less than 1 minute in and I get the results. Talking about China labor costing more to our world is brave and much needed. Well done my friend. Can't wait to see more reviews like this by you.

I bought the Aonijie tonight on Amazon, then saw your video. Good to see the positive reviews. I have been using Aonijie 7L running vest and it’s great!

[kvonzwild]

Excellent review. Thanks so much for the price up front. That's rare but Shows concern for your viewers perhaps at the expense of the algorithm. Nice job.

I really like the fact that your review also includes information about where the backpacks are produced and the ethical considerations. That’s are highly important aspect that often gets neglected or overlooked in reviews. Huge respect for including those thoughts in your review. 👍

Your format for review wins! Keen to see more reviews, especially the Outdoor Vitals Skyline 30 fast pack vs the Aonijie C9111. Thanks for the thorough assessments

[mettamama]

I am so happy to find your review. I was about to order UD, but decided on AONIJIE instead. I appreciate your inclusion of ethics. I try to make sound decisions. The attention to detail on the pack gives me hope. I will see when I receive it. In any case, great review!

[sebparkes]

Absolutely incredible review!! So much information and so well made. Thank you!

Very good review thank you very much 🙏

Lastly, I have searched for Fastpacking bags and have found none that suits my needs as well as the Ultimate Direction, but I have not bought it yet because It is a bit expensive and I need to invest in some other gear.

I really don't leave lots of comments, but this time it was needed, because of your attention to the details and the way you compared both backpacks at the beginning. You also did a fantastic job weighting everything and giving if for different measurement systems (most reviews lack that).

The one thing that is missing for me, although I get why it is (because of weight and structure probably) is a full zip that would allow opening the bag like a suitcase.


Again thank you, wish I could give you more than one thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

So glad I saw this video because I bought 1 of these on Black Friday special and waiting for it to be delivered. Thank you
