  • Decent organization all throughout the entire bag.

What reviewers said

  • "Great materials. Great design considerations. It fits snug and comfortably both on and off the bike...All in all, I give this one an A -."
  • "I use this as my "shift bag" for work, and LOVE it! The latch is really unique and grew on me instantly, because it provides such quick access to the bag. The thing is built like a tank, so it should easily last several years even with rough treatment. It's very comfortable and holds a ton of stuff to keep you ready for the Zombie Apocalypse. ;)"
  • "This backpack not only displays extraordinary build quality, but the attention to detail makes it the most elegant backpack that I own (and I own A LOT). I would have no problem in wearing it with a suit."

Reviews from around the web

This expandable, water-resistant backpack is my go-to for travel — I can easily pack a weekend's worth of stuff and retrieve items through a side zipper

The Bellroy Shift Backpack is now my go-to bag anytime I travel or even for a day trip to the park or beach. While my folding and packing skills still need some work, the bag helps me fit everything I need, without fighting to get a zipper closed. Plus, the Shift is designed so that I don't have to unload all my stuff to retrieve something I stored at the bottom.

...The organisation layer of the backpack sits high up in this carry to make for easy reach and to protect your devices from any crush from above. There is a minimalistic, understated aesthetic to this classy backpack from Bellroy that we’re loving at The Coolector and we’re sure plenty of others will be equally as enamoured with the dapper visuals.

Elegant, practical and adaptable, the Bellroy Shift Backpack embraces changing needs and environments with ease. Designed to shift between multiple settings, the pack works equally well during a bike commute, office meeting, gym trip or outdoor trail adventure.
Owner Review: Bellroy Shift Backpack (2019)
bradsturkie.com
I've been pleased with my ownership of this bag so far. I would buy it again, no problem. The Shift has forced me to adjust my workflow to something more efficient by eliminating my second gym bag entirely. One bag is all I need now. This has turned out to be a pretty great everyday carry pack. It has enough space and enough style to move around town or the office and get work done.
Bellroy makes bags and backpacks that are a perfect union of form and function — we love their clean, minimalist design and clever expandable compartments
www.businessinsider.com
I've been testing the bag out for the past few months, and it's proven useful in all areas of my life. During the week, it has more than enough space to hold all of my commuting essentials, and when I need to bring home a new product to test, I can fit it in and simply adjust the top to accommodate it. I've also been able to pack it for short weekend trips.
