FULL DISCLOSURE:

The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

ETHICS STATEMENT

HOW I REVIEW:

As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:

A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.

AFFILIATE LINKS:

No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

The Alpaka Go Sling Mini is definitely my favorite sling bag for carrying the GX85, along with my Porter Hybrid Daypack Rucksack for my office backpack getting second place. Non bag related, I really enjoyed my small Bellroy Card Pocket zip wallet, which somehow magically reduces my wallet's size and weight but is able to carry more stuffs inside the wallet! Happy holiday Bo, warmest regards! 😁😁

I just went back to the Evergoods PLC20 this past week and I'm really impressed with it, mostly from the way that it feels - SO SLEEK! But I'm still not crazy about the organization, I'm often bewildered trying to figure out what to put in the large front pocket, it's freaking huge

[Stormbrise]

I like the idea of the blanket with the pockets for the feet. I am now obsessed with finding a way to keep the blanket on me in a plane.

[fireball]

Hey Bo. Just thought to let you know that you could swap the WD40 for plain 99% alcohol and it'll work just as good or even better. Been using that for years, pre-covid for anything sticker/glue related.

[Keifro]

Awesome video! That blanket look looks really good and I need to check it out! 😀

[nboston]

Got an Aer City Pack Pro in X-PAC after watching you review. After owning it for two months, it’s definitely the most satisfying purchase this year for sure!

[DJPTEXAS]

I have used the Blanket traveling and it is great ! Used it in Rome airport sleeping on the ground in the

[OGtalks]

Great video brother ! Happy Christmas to you too .
My 3 most used items would be my AirPods, Bellroy classic backpack and my yeti coffee rambler .. can’t live without those 3 … 🫡

[chgm]

First time here, will definitely comeback. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

[jm_josemanuel]

The Palmer looks great. Will try to get one. I switch between that Evergoods and a Daily from Able Carry. About my edc, the major new has been the Nothing phone and an earbuds. Very happy with them. Nice to see a video of your favorite stuff ;)

[William.N]

That Palmer is still on my to get list. Have a wonderful Christmas!

[Adayinthelife-JC]

Great review Bo! Couldn’t agree with you more on Evergoods bags. My top 3 CHZ 22, field notes, tactile turn titanium pen.

[SteveFWatches]

That Palmer looks great definitely on my list now

[deracine]

After contemplating for a month, I bought my very first EDC sling a few weeks ago - the Alpaka bravo sling max pro. Love the build quality and feels premium.

The other 2 are the nitecore p20ix 4000 lumens flashflight for self defense and my very first jogger pants (nylon) from H&M 😅

Speaking of jogger pants, what's the brand you were wearing in this video? Looks comfy and I like the color since I'm a sucker for gray things

[bigbrowndad]

My 2022 best is Nextool-Black Knight one handed multi-tool.

[bikecommuter]

Nice choices, that James tool is very nice.
I now carry a folding knife that uses box cutter blades and has a handy screwdriver on the other end I use it for boxes and packages for the same reasons you do.
I still keep my favorite Swiss Army Knife in my backpack, the EvoGrip 14 I use it for prepping food at lunch😆 my coworkers also like that I keep the small eyeglasses screwdriver in the corkscrew I bought one online and added it myself.

[avilavance]

Also ich als Messernerd, liebe es meine Messer zu nutzen und wieder auf Schärfe zu bringen 😁

[JBOutside]

Love the PLC20 also Bo. Probably one of the biggest surprises in 2022. I’ll play, here are three of my favs: the Mystery Ranch Cerberus, the Apple AirPods Pro v2, and the DJI Mini 3 Pro 😁

[jeffone]

The Evergoods PLC 20 is my EDC. Love the bag!

[georgesgurescu]

Use alcohol to remove glue, combined with a cotton pad, make the job super easy ;)
