today we're going to be unboxing the AY Titan ekp 120 and this is a
larger a larger notebook carrying bag
for good for up to 18.5 in notebooks or something like that
if I recall correctly 18.4 in sorry my
bad although I'm sure if you you know forced it you could probably get an 18.5
in bag in uh laptop in there so I've actually recently switched over to using
an a bag this is the last one that I unboxed which has the carrying strap
here the huge compartment here the furlin console carrying case that I use
to actually store my camera and accessories in because it's nice and
soft and padded um so overall very
satisfied the straps are extremely durable and you can see they're just
like totally overbuilt but we're not going to focus on that bag for this
video we're going to focus on this one so starting with their
documentation let's see they number all the features checkpoint friendly this is
this is kind of hilarious because checkpoint friendly evidently means you
can take the whole bag zip it down to the very bottom past
the very bottom like this H yes checkpoint
friendly oh I see what they mean by checkpoint friendly they mean like
airport friendly okay so you take the whole bag and you go like this which
means that you're laptop is now in a
completely segregated pocket so when you're going through airport security
they can scan just the laptop cuz they always ask you to have that in a
separate in a separate bin and then you can leave all the rest of the stuff here
so that's actually a really cool feature that now that I figured out what it's
for on camera when I was trying to figure it out for like 2 minutes before
this makes a ton of sense so that's very very cool so there's that um and then
you can also strap in your notebook just like that so it holds up to an 18.4 in
laptop this is a 15.6 in laptop so you can clearly see there's quite a bit of
extra space but because of the padded nature of the pocket quite thick padding
as well as the faux fur lining it's not going to scratch it's not going to
bounce around in a way that's going to be harmful you've got a fair bit of
padding on the bottom probably about this much padding on the bottom so as long as you don't like throw your bag
anywhere you're not going to be running into too much trouble with that so let's
go ahead and close this pocket back actually no let's not close this pocket
so the whole point of this is the checkpoint friendliness right so let's keep going here so the next thing we've
got is a dedicated media player pouch
right there once again faux fur line so nothing's going to get scratched or
anything like that got enough space for whatever you want to put in there let's say maybe your iPhone or whatever else
okay then you've got one of those uh one of those headphone cord holes which is a
slightly water resistant cuz it's rubberized and you can see they all come
together but I wouldn't rely on that for a completely waterproof seal just
throwing that out there guys do be careful what are
these oh okay so we got like some clippy
things going on here let's get let's get to those after these are covered in neoprene which is once again a high
quality material that's one of the things that really impresses me about these a bags so far I've only seen two
of them the one that I'm using in this one but that the overall materials that
they choose seem to be of very very high
quality all right okay so we will take those off now let's open up the next
pouch one of the few complaints I have about the bag that I have now is not
enough segmentation inside it to really organize your things so looking at this
one this seems to address all of the problems that I have with the current
bag just by using a slightly bigger one so this guy has tons of little
compartments you got little compartment here little compartment here you've got
another bigger compartment here you've got ones that zipper off oh this is neat
what's this oh this is the B that uh oh check
this out this is like way bigger than it looked oh that's like the most amazing
thing I've ever seen okay check this out check this out guys hold on hold on okay
so it looks this big but then oh where can I find some like junk
to Pile in it hold on here let's let's uncp it okay here here so we can put
like a gaming mouse in it we put like another gaming mouse in it and then we
could like roll up a gaming mouse pad
and we could like put that in it and then because it expands in the back
due to the way they've done the seams it actually gets significantly bigger than
it initially looked so that's kind of cool yet another way and this once again
addresses my one issue with the one that I'm using now not enough segmentation
all of a sudden this is my tool bag and then I can throw my tool bag into the
bottom of the bag where there's a little space for it see that and not worry
about any of that stuff scratching up any of my other stuff these guys also
have these smart seams look at this I'm going to call them smart seams seems even though Iver doesn't have a name for
them so they make the pockets slightly bigger than they actually
appear okay so that's neat we got a cat I wonder if you can put a cat in the
bag there you go he likes
it we're testing the durability and
ruggedness of the a bag okay so moving
on here at the front of the bag we have yet another compartmentalized thing
going on here lots and lots of different
Pockets love bags with lots of pockets that's like a personal thing that that I
like quite a lot especially bags that you can hold a cat in although the cat's
out of the bag now I was wai waiting to make that joke Okay so we've got a
little uh little pocket thing here that doesn't look all that safe I probably
wouldn't keep anything too important in there but you know something you want to
be able to access really easily that's maybe oh you know what I think they
thought of this because as long as it's something that can be held in by this
strap oh this is oh I know what it is this is the tablet thing cuz I read the
features but I didn't know where any of them were so you can keep your tablet
here I don't know that that's the best idea if you're not using like some kind
of a protective case like my iPad I have a protective case on
but oops there goes my zero punctuation
that I was watching on my uh on my Galaxy Tab because it doesn't work on
the iPad because The Escapist doesn't support iPad right now so yeah
everything's very soft and uh non-scratchy there so there you go I
found the tablet bag container thing
let's see what's in here ah the weatherproof well not weatherproof the
weather resistant cover so I'm not going to take the whole thing out cuz it's
kind of well okay I'll Pi the whole thing up so basically you just take this
thing and you cover the bag with it when you're going to be riding in the rain or
walking in the rain and it should keep everything inside reasonably safer than
it would be if you didn't use it at all more
Pockets more segmentation and that is uh
here here
here pens other random stuff see these
kinds of Pockets I don't find as useful the other one has more of these uh just
because you can't really put that much in them whereas the ones in here are
awesome because they're like huge and like awesome okay so now I think that
leaves us just with the ones on the
side where once again we find more segmentation so we got here we got here
and then let's flip it around so to answer the question how
much Tech crap there we go some pens some other pockets and one more mesh
pocket in there how much Tech crap can you hold in here I think we can all
agree that the answer is a heck of a lot and Slick is pointing something out to
me that I don't really know what it's for so we're just going to cut for a
second here oh it's to hold a water bottle there you go so that's what this
is for it holds a water bottle if it sticks out of the top oh that's actually
kind of neat and smart okay let's see if we missed anything so we're going to go
through their documentation and see what they think of it now okay oh we haven't
talked about the straps at all yet although I did show you guys the straps
on my other verki bag which I'm quite pleased with so my assumption is that
they're going to be quite similar but I will show you guys before we wrap this up
here lifetime warranty that's always
good to have Brand Story Innovation is the result of challenging the mind to
overcome the obstacles so the design to use this mentality to constantly employ
new and unique ideas in the creation of our products they really do actually
because I've had a lot of backpacks in my life cuz I'm more of a backpack guy
than a briefcase guy and uh okay I don't know that this
documentation is particularly useful but whatever um but they're good at the
making the backpack in the first place even if their little brochure isn't that
fantastic so the water resistant weather cover the clever Buckle system provides
additional support when the backpack is fully loaded we'll show you that it's a fivepoint system soft F felt line
checkpoint friendly fivepoint balance DRP evenly distributes weight yep okay
Arrow flow padded back and shoulder straps okay so let's show you that show
you the padding and the shoulder straps so oh wow it has very very thick padding
so this is probably about this much padding actually between the notebook
itself between the notebook padding that's on this side and the back padding
that's on this side and that's at the bottom and on both sides as well as on
the straps themselves so it's very very padded we've also got not only the uh oh
yeah okay so here let's see where this strap goes so I'm going to have to do this up
a little bit here guys sorry got my tablet got my notebook
since I'm actually loading it up with a fair amount of weight I should be able to give you guys some idea uh how it
does in terms of support oops okay it's a little bit tough to uh
to reassemble once you uncheck point it but still less work than taking your
notebook out of your bag entirely so I think mission accomplished on that
one there we go okay so let's go ahead and throw it on oh this is ah right so
this is for extra support so that it distributes the weight more more evenly
because when you have something out here that hangs off the top of your shoulders
that's where the weight's going to hang so what they've done here is they've allowed you to tighten it in so that it
hangs off of the small of your back instead of directly off your shoulders
that's actually really smart and would have made a huge difference on one of
the uh one of the trips I went on recently to CES where I was carrying
around a backpack with my notebook in it all day okay so where have they
positioned the Trap so they've got the chest strap going on
here not bad actually it's a little on the big side cuz I only have a 15-in
notebook and I'm quite short I'm only about 5 six but if you're a little bit
taller than me it probably won't look quite as big on you so you go I guess
I'll do my little turn on the
catwalk uh and I think that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my
unboxing and first look at the AY now I forget the model number the Titan ekp
