Great Bag Missing the origami dividers
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: Dustin
I use this as an everyday carry bag going to and from work via vehicle and as a one bag travel bag as well. This thing has been on 8-10 weeks of airplane travel both business and personal, as well as being hucked in and out of a car everyday since November of 2018. Haven't had any problems with the bag so far.
Some people say the straps may be a little flimsy and they would probably be correct comparatively, but I have never had any issue with them and like how they hide away to nothing.
I like all the organization and the ability to move the origination out of the way when going to bucket mode for max volume.
Thing I wish it had was the velcro origami dividers like some of their every day bags. Also kind of wish they had the origination on the side flaps like the everyday bag. I think this would add to the bags experience.
Travel Example. Medium packing cube bottom of bag then origami divider installed above that before all your toiletries and tech. Help keep stuff in place
EDC Example: Origami dividers and side flap organization would be much more functional from the side access pockets during everyday use as well as add to the quick access functionality. Same reason you have them on the Everyday packs.
This bag is amazing. I love the simple yet well-thought design. I love the number of access points and the total inner customization. It has enough pockets. The side pockets are deep enough, keeping you stuff in. It works great with the cubes. I can pack for a week and still have space left. If that's not enough you can expand it or shrink it or mount gear on the outside. It fits in the over-head bin making it a nice carry-on. You can carry it any way fits you. I have done several travels with it and it still looks like new.
I am 5'3" and my biggest issue with the bag is the size. I packed it to the max (45 L, with an item attached with the external straps) and it was way too wide for me to handle. I looked ridiculous and felt like I was going to topple over. I have a 55 L women's backpacking pack and this somehow handles bulk better for me than this travel backpack. The snaps to reduce it to 35 L are difficult to snap together and repeatedly came undone. The waist belt and chest strap work better than I anticipated to reduce shoulder strain, but I was at a light 35 L when using them. At first the material has a lot of static and attracts hair and dust. Overall it is nice but the 45 and 35 L did not work for me and made it cumbersome and inefficient.
I must admit that I was hesitated in purchasing the 45litre bag along with the medium camera cube because of the price, but as I have been so pleased with my 2 captures and lens kit, I thought maybe it's worth the risk.
The first notable thing upon receiving my bags were the quality of workmanship and materials used to produce these well designed and functional bags.
I have so far been on 3 weekend hiking trips with the bags being slammed full of camera gear and clothing and it has performed faultlessly every time I've needed to retrieve anything from the bag, whether it's still on my back or on the ground.
I especially like how the bag easily converts from backpack to shoulder bag so you can access the side openings to retrieve your camera without taking the bag off.
I couldn't think of a more fitting quote for these bags than, The quality will remain long after the price is forgotten.
I absolutely love this bag and the small camera cube. Allows me to keep the cube in the bag all the time and still have plenty of space for travel. The only issues I have are the shoulder straps can become uncomfortable after its loaded up and the adjustable straps on the shoulder straps i have to constantly readjust. I am 6ft 5. so i have only about 4 inches of strap dangling and it does not hold.
Der Rucksack ist nicht nur in Sachen Fotografie ein top Produkt. Durch die Verwendung der „Camera-cubes“ lässt er sich jeder Situation anpassen. Egal ob nur mit wenig Foto-Equipment oder allem drum und dran, Aale Komponenten greifen ineinander. Eine Vielzahl von Befestigungsmöglichkeiten lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Ich verwende den Rucksack auch außerhalb der Fotografie mittlerweile täglich auch zum Einkaufen. Als „Nicht-Autofahrer“, ist es mein Kofferraum - Mein Rolls Royce :-)
