What is up guys, Stephen Cults of Mac here back with another video and in this one I'm
0:08
going to be telling you all about my favourite backpack to date, the Buk Pack Pro
0:13
So let's get started
0:22
The Buk Pack Pro has become part of my everyday carry. I'm constantly travelling back and forth between my home and the office and to different locations
0:29
for filming. The Pack Pro retails for $295, so it's not the cheapest backpack on the market, but with
0:36
its level of detail and protection it offers to the $2000 worth of kit I'm usually placing
0:40
inside, it's well worth it. The Pack Pro can carry up to a 15 inch MacBook Pro or a 16.4 inch laptop, so it swallows
0:47
up my 13 inch Retina MacBook Pro no problem. The laptop compartment is protected by the water resistant zipper as well as a rugged
0:54
ballistic nylon exterior, which also has a waterproof coating, making it perfect for
0:59
the wet and miserable UK weather. The interior of the laptop compartment is also really nicely padded on either side
1:05
so I don't have to worry about my MacBook getting scratched while walking about. There's also padding on the outside, where the backpack would lean against, er, well
1:12
my back, so it's super comfortable and the corners of the MacBook aren't digging into me
1:17
You might also notice the recessed design here in the centre, which helps direct heat generated from my back upwards, reducing heat build up and ultimately sweat
1:26
The entire backpack is made from a tough 1680 ballistic nylon, to protect the contents
1:30
from light knocks and drops, and the weaved nylon fabric resists abrasion and tearing
1:34
Even though it's called ballistic nylon, it's not bulletproof. The term ballistic nylon refers to its intended function when it was developed back in World
1:40
War 2, although it was found to not be very effective against bullets
1:44
Nowadays it's used for items that need to be hard wearing, such as police duty belts
1:48
I obviously wouldn't go throwing this backpack about, but it's nice to know that it's more
1:52
secure than the standard offerings. The pack itself when it's empty is super lightweight, which means with lighter items
1:59
it stays comfortable for hours on end. For those times I filled it up to the top with gear, it stayed incredibly comfortable
2:04
thanks to the padding on the back and the super comfy straps which also have some great padding
2:09
Either side of the pack pro, there's mesh pockets for fairly large bottles or an umbrella
2:14
On the front there's a small zip compartment for your wallet or keys thanks to the included lanyard and key ring holder
2:19
Inside there's a ton of pockets and slots for everything you should ever need to carry
2:23
with plenty of room in the centre for headphones and hard drives or whatever you need to throw
2:26
in there. I'm constantly surprised at just how much I can fit in
2:30
There's also a secret back pocket for my 9.7 inch iPad Pro, which has a really soft microfiber
2:35
lining to keep that safe too. Every inch of this backpack either feels rugged or luxury and they've managed to blend those
2:40
two qualities together really nicely. The leather zippers and detailing on the pockets, against the shell like exterior work perfectly
2:48
It's the perfect combination of style and protection. The only downside I do have with the backpack is its shape
2:54
Depending on what I've placed inside, the front of the backpack can go slightly misshapen
2:57
but it's easy enough to push back out. Finally, and this is one of my favourite features, is the gun metal framed serial number
3:05
In each Buk Pack Pro, you'll find a unique serial number which helps reunite you with
3:08
your backpack if you lose it. Once registered, Buk's TeraLink service will help reunite me with my lost bag as soon as
3:14
someone's entered the serial number online. Overall, this is a solid backpack that I absolutely love
3:20
I've been able to try out my first pair of backpacks running this channel and this is by far the best I've tried to date
3:25
If you're looking to upgrade your backpack gain, seriously consider the Buk Pack Pro
