Not for me, but I have to give it a 4 to be fair. The quality is great, the "features" are original, but here's where the problem starts: it's over-engineered and at some point, the logic breaks down. When you pack it and hang stuff on it like a Christmas tree, it gets too heavy and you end up needing a backpack that costs about the same. It's an expensive, impractical gadget. Now I have a water bag attached that cost more than the backpack, and it works well as an organizer in the backpack for power banks, cables, a penknife, headphones, etc.—just like the extra pocket you can attach for 40 zlotys xD
