I thought about the purchase for a long time - but I am extremely satisfied and can't say a bad word. Very functional and solidly made bag, strong material, sturdy seams and zippers. The look itself does the job, with lots of pockets and attachments. Mercedes for me :)

The bag is of solid quality. I love the many compartments. However, the main compartment is a bit too small for my needs. Once you put in a laptop, there's not much space left. But I guess that's its purpose. The laptop compartment is perfect for a 13-inch business ThinkPad, I'm used to it fitting with USB dongles plugged in, but unfortunately you need to take everything out to fit it in tightly. Once you get used to it, you can appreciate its compact size. Well made. I used Molle straps and attached extra compartments.

Capacity and organization are definitely a plus, but there are a few things I would change. Namely, the rotating shoulder strap mounting, it's extremely annoying to untwist the strap, I modified the waist strap with fastexy buckles because the original clips are as hard to fasten as to unfasten. The organizer pockets should be able to unzip fully (one of them unzips so you can lay the entire flap flat, there's a simple pull-cord that lets you not open the pocket all the way if you don't need to, which is fantastic). The velcro panel inside the bag is sewn from three strips that have sharp, unprotected material edges—I can't count how many times I've painfully cut the skin between my finger and nail on them, so I had to cover the joints with duck tape. The exterior open pocket, unfortunately, isn't very convenient because it's stiff. Either you have to wrestle with it to put something in/take something out (for example, a Helikon medium VIS organizer fits nicely when packed, but taking it out is a struggle). If the pocket 'collar' stretched even a little, it would be much better. These are my conclusions after about 4 years of use and, despite these flaws, I can't find a better bag.

Very good bag. Roomy and spacious, a lot of different pockets and handy compartments. Very well made, material without any complaints. Highly recommend.

Well-sewn, indestructible and versatile. I bought the bag as a convenient 'case for my stuff for work', but it quickly became my primary EDC without which I can’t leave the house comfortably. Put through various conditions and situations, both for work and recreation, after three years of constant use there’s not even a trace of wear. Not too big, not too small - perfect for everyday use.

Great bag, spacious, well made, very good material, lots of pockets, practical and comfortable.

Good workmanship, spacious, noble color

Super nice and spacious with lots of handy compartments.

Good, solid and spacious bag, works well for work and university.

Great bag for everyday use. Excellent workmanship.

Excellent workmanship, well-thought-out external pockets (the "small" version does not have them), a 13" laptop fits without any problem, and the rubber bottom is the same as in the "small" sister version. Also, the ideal size for EDC, I have both sizes so it’s verified. I RECOMMEND!!

This bag is my second from this manufacturer. The first one was almost identical, but had some design flaws. After prolonged use, I can confirm that these flaws have been eliminated in this model.

I've had it for about half a year now. Works well for carrying every day to university. It's not super spacious, but it's comfortable for carrying a first aid kit and some small EDC items. The side pocket for a bottle could be a bit bigger, for example to fit a slightly wider thermos. Lots of options for hanging keys or a flashlight. Comfortable carrying strap.

Very good bag and so spacious that you can carry 10 beers and a knife.

Very nice bag, fits up to 10 beers.
