So today is going to be a bit of a first for me. This is the only
backpack that I have ever unbagged on my
channel and there's a very good reason for that. This is an Averki backpack and
it is designed for technology users like
myself. So, my backpack that I usually use is a Windows Vista brand backpack.
And we're going to see how well the Averki stands up to the kind of load
that I typically carry around with me, including, you know, mouse, mouse pad,
um, a tablet, you know, various chargers. We're going to see how much
room it has and how well it can accommodate these things. So, come here
and have a closer look. Okay, so aki style that works. This is the Averky
Beacon. And what has it got to say for itself? in terms of features. So,
innovation is the result of challenging the mind to overcome the obstacles that
others have sidestepped. The design studio uses this mentality to consistent
employ new and unique ideas in the creation of our products. I've heard
very good things about these backpacks. So, I'm actually quite excited about
this 180° variable opening front pocket.
Okay, cool. Uh 4point weight distribution for added safety and
comfort. Okay, neat. Uh stowaway weather
resistant shield. That's handy. Dedicated paddic notebook slot with
anti-cratch fur liner. Okay. Quick
access hip pockets with mobile phone audio vents. That's handy as well. Dual
reinforced handles for lifting heavy loads. Where are the dual reinforced
handles? H.
We'll have to find those a little bit later. Oh, well, here's one of them.
Okay. And that does look reinforced. Integrated audio cable management loop.
Okay. Interesting. What else we got in here? limited lifetime warranty
protection. Okay, that's handy. So, why don't we why don't we get started here? So, on the back, we've got a couple kind
of a adjustable looking straps. Got a
couple little loops right here. We've got Aha. Here is our uh dedicated audio
cable management doodad. So, you can run
your cable up through here and up through here. So, it won't get caught on
anything when you're taking your backpack on and off. That is incredibly
handy. The overall padding quality on
the straps, I'd say, is very good, comparable, if not better than my
existing uh Windows Vista backpack. But
then I think almost, as far as others, most people are concerned, almost
anything is an improvement over Windows Vista. So, let's go ahead and put it on
and see. Okay, so sits right on right where it should on the shoulder. Okay,
let's see what else we got here. That looks like probably the stowaway
weatherproof shield. Now, weatherproof is sort of uh one of those things that
gets thrown around an awful lot. I wouldn't expect to be necessarily taking
this, you know, on a motorcycle with you in the rain and expecting nothing inside
to get even damp, but I would expect it to keep the rain off enough that nothing
should get damaged or soaked through this layer and then this layer and then
whatever else that you have inside the bag. So, that is a very cool little
feature. And the fact that it stows away like that means that you can just kind
of cram it away and only use it and only have it affect the aesthetic of the bag
when you actually need it. So, yeah, there you go. Weatherproof shield. I
could have just read that little tag and then I'd have known what it was. So, with audio vents, here are the audio
vents. Although, oh, look at that. They're not just um simple openings. So,
they should actually be a little bit weather resistant themselves. That's
kind of nice. There we go. Yeah. So, there is a fabric on the other side of
it, the liner. You can also use it for, you know, school. If you're like, if
your mom's like, "Why do you need this bag?" You could be like, "Oh, cuz I can store my pens and calculators in it."
But really, what you're doing is you're putting like your phone and your DS in it and whatever else. Do kids still use
DS's? I don't know. This one does not have the audio vents, but it has a
slightly different cable management system, and it does have a loop for hanging, you know, keychain or whatever
else off of it. So, that's kind of handy. There you go. You got two little pockets there.
Overall, I'd say the build quality is just outstanding on this so far.
Materials used are very, very robust feeling and all the zippers have slid
very, very easily.
Okay. Well, that was my fault. Okay, so let's keep going. Here is the 30 or
180°. Oh. Oh, there's the other reinforced handle. So, there's the two
reinforced handles, and they are definitely about as reinforced as they
get. So, let's keep undoing things here.
Let's see what this is. So, here we have
some storage stuff. So, there's a pocket there. Love
lots and lots of individual little pockets. Helps you stay organized. So,
that goes in there. And then we've got
Oh, hold on. Let's do this one first. So, there is the laptop. Ooh, check this
out. So, it's not real fur. Very disappointed about that. Actually, I'm
not. It's okay. So, it's not real fur, but that is very, very soft. So, let's
go ahead and see if it will fit my huge
15.4 inch gaming laptop. Wow. Very
easily. Tons and tons of space left over
once I put my notebook in there. So, that's uh that's awesome. It barely
barely barely fits in my uh in my Microsoft bag. So, here, why don't we
leave that in there, actually. All right. So, let's keep going here.
So, Here
is a Oh, is this the inside piece for
the notebook bag? You know what? Give me a
second to figure out how this works. Okay, so we figured out how the 180°
opening thing works. You just undo these buckles and then these zippers actually
go all the way down to the bottom of the bag. However, I'm not going to bother
doing that for the video. And then this just looks like another padded like
pouchy thing that you can that you can put stuff in. So, this does go in here
with its furlined protectiveness. And then, you know, maybe if we had a tablet
computer that we wanted to have a little bit of extra padding, we could chuck
that in there. Although, it looks like you could keep like another laptop in it. No problem. Although, you don't have
to use it. So, you can take it out. And then you've got a bunch more pouches and
pockets and stuff. So, actually, that's probably a better place for my uh for my
tablet. There we go. Throw that in there. And then we've got pieces of
Velcro here that help you to keep this button closed. It also will hold this.
Nope. This is to close this. Okay, good. Now I understand. Okay. I mean, really,
it's how they intend you to use it is sort of not that important, but the the
most important thing is just there's lots of different ways to organize your stuff in here. So, we've got this is
just a divider. It doesn't go all the way down to the bottom, but feels fairly
well built, so it should stand up to the test of time. And then this can be
closed up there so you can hold in whatever is there. And then you finally
got with more padding on the bottom. Although how Oh, that's that's kind of
that's kind of cute. Dual dual usage padding. So that's your rainproof shield
down there. And then finally some more pockets. So this is where I might keep
something like spare batteries or uh jeweler screwdrivers or whatever other
tools. And oh, look at that. They're lined with uh with nice soft material
also. Look at that. Oh, that's awesome. Even the sides.
Pretty good attention to detail in here. I can see why these bags are uh are
becoming so popular. Cool. Well, I think
that pretty much covers it. So, just to uh to remind you guys again, this is the
Averki Beacon. And I think that it would
uh Oh, look at that. The bottom is like a very, very thick, robust, rubbery
material. You could pretty much drag this thing around and I wouldn't expect it to be subjected to any real damage.
So, thank you. Here. I wouldn't be complete without, you know, a fashion
show shot of it.
