Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Brevite Jumper Compact Camera Backpack: A Minimal & Travel-Friendly Photography Bag for Laptop & DSLR Accessories 18L (Green) by Virgilio Patton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Marketing is misleading but this can be a good bag if your needs are basic.

Nice bag for the price. I returned it and went with something else, but I want to give an honest and friendly explanation as to why it didn't work for me. I don't think this is a bad product, I just think its advertising is misleading. Brevit seems to want us to think that this bag will be our one stop solution for all our adventures and travels. It is not true. If you want something that will really stand up to the weather, abuse and storage of all your stuff, you'll want to spend 2x or 3x more for something made by F-Stop, WANDRD or Shimoda. Don't think you can conveniently pack your everyday essentials AND your camera in this bag when you're more than a few miles from home. The truth is, she's tiny. Like smaller than you think, even though you thought she looked pretty small. This bag really isn't for those with more than a very modest amount of gear. Definitely don't recommend using this as a carry-on/personal item unless you really like minimalistic packaging. Certainly ok for short day trips but definitely won't hold up in the rain/snow so be careful when hiking or buy a rain jacket too. Whatever it is, it's good. I ended up buying the Runner from the Brevite website (it has an extra pocket and a little more room on top) for street photography, the occasional portrait session close to home, and short day trips. Take pictures AND your personal belongings in it and they brag a lot about how easy it all is. I feel like I have a modest amount of stuff - a mirrorless camera + 2 lenses with me at once, some batteries, cables, a laptop, a Nintendo Switch, a book, a light jacket, etc. But it was stuffed up to the edge before I even finished packing it. Solution for professional photographers or for more than a few hours of occasional photography. Don't listen to YouTube reviews. They've basically all been paid for (a good lesson overall) and skip this one and move on to something more advanced if you're looking for more serious security, weather resistance, protection and storage. I personally highly recommend Wandrd prvke. I never worry about the weather, security, or protection with this bag, and it could probably fit an entire certification card sweater in its hinged lid.

Pros
  • MODERN BACKPACK: This minimalist camera bag fits both men and women. It is available in different elegant colors and looks classy and not like a camera bag.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
