[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it appears to fit everything I was looking for: Functionality, Comfort and Style. Definitely would recommend, the cost hurts initially, but with a lifetime warranty, this will be worth the investment.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of this product is really heartfelt, it is positioned for users who love to travel and love photography, I really like the work of this company and I will be following them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The question I had a few months ago was; how can I safely travel with my camera rig and all the essentials for a massive journey to Alaska? The answer was the PRVKE. The 31L camera plus bundle gave me *just* enough room to carry my camera, 70-200mm 2.8 lens, 100mm Macro lens, battery charger and extra batteries. Power cords and laptop and itinerary paper work and one change of clothes. But wait, there’s more! Monopod, umbrella, beats headphones, small toiletry bag, a bottle of water, and a portable hard drive and batteries. On this trip I wanted a bag that could do it all and be with me on both the long travel days and out on adventures. Fully loaded didn’t feel so bad, because the shoulder straps were comfy and the chest trap was a must when carrying all that gear. It felt solid and remained planted on my back (even when I was going downhill on an e-bike hitting 30mph). It made a tough job better by how well constructed it was.Also, the bag just looks really cool. I love the offset zipper and roll top features. What’s more is the functionality that the form allows as well. The roll top feature was my personal selling point. I needed a bag that could carry extra gear while we were out exploring. I have two children and a wife, so there’s never a shortage of requests to either hold something or provide something at any given time. The roll top handled everything I put in there with easy. The camera compartment is nice with a generous selection of Velcro dividers and straps. I didn’t really get to use the side pocket door much, because my lens hood made the extraction awkward. However, the clamshell design was easy enough to zip open and grab my gear. No biggie.I have 14” laptop that fit snug in the large pocket.It kept is well protected as well. I was not worried about it or my camera getting hurt. The large front zipper pocket was great to store my little souvenirs as we went from place to place. While traveling, I used the luggage strap every chance I had. It was such a nice quality of life feature, that I just simply loved it. After a plane ride or two and some Ubers to here and there, it was nice to take the pack off of my shoulders and put it safely on my luggage. Design and construction seem and proved to be well thought out and produced. The only complaint I have was with the interior pockets on the lid of the clam shell. I put a mechanical pencil and a pen in one of there and the fabric took some damage. I was caught off guard by that, but whatever, I’ll just move them somewhere else. The only other negative is that since this pack is kinda large, I had to place it in the over head bins on the planes. That wasn’t the worst, so just expect to not have easy access while flying. I was not gentle to this bag. It took planes, trains. boats, rafts, and automobile rides. It handled the abuse very well and only ended up with a little cosmetic scratches. What I did by like: the chest strap. I really didn’t like the way it snaps. I would have preferred just a standard clip like most bags use. The reason I didn’t like it was the act of clipping it into place. The little string assist would get in the way and/or I wouldn’t get the clip seated right and might take me a few attempts to get it to snap. Deal breaker? HARDLY! Just because I don’t like it, doesn’t mean you have to hate it too! That was my only negative about the bag, so take that with a grain of salt.10/10 would recommend. Like, comment, and subscribe.(Pictures were taken along the way in the rain and during transport)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The All-New PRVKE has a attractive modern look. The color pallete is fashionable. I bought the dark green and it looks decent. The main straps are mild and I feel comfortable wearing the backpack. One thing can be improve is that the straps are too wide for some third party camera clips. If this is something that can be improved, it would be even more perfect and impressive. The space and the feature are planned well. I can organize my laptop, camera, wires, and etc. very well. This bag is very good overall. Now it serves as my main everyday bag for working. I will definitely recommend this to my friends!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I saw a friend with this bag in an airport and was instantly intrigued. So far, I have been incredibly happy with it. It holds up well to getting tossed around and I loving the pockets/accessibility.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really thought this would be the perfect backpack based on all the reviews. But I’ll have to admit, I’m disappointed. It is heavy and the organization is not intuitive. The lack of a pocket to put last minute items in (other than documents) is disappointing. Maybe an explanation of pockets would help (without going online); what is the zipper inside that looks like a pouch but it’s not? That makes NO sense! The zippers are hard to spot and not as easy to get started as I would like. And it doesn’t seem to be very expandable; I will continue to use it and maybe my review will change. I wish I had read about the return process first; I would have returned mine if I had kept the packing. Sorry, but not an ideal product. It looks good though!
