I have been wanting this bag for the longest time and I finally pulled the trigger. It was a great decision. Not only do I get tons of compliments about how nice it is, it is also the most comfortable camera bag I have ever owned. I haven't figured out what every strap does yet but I am looking forward to using it for years to come.
The online pictures do not do this backpack justice. When I opened and took the backpack out of the shipping box my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe how great it looked and it was still in the plastic shipping bag! The material is first class and the design and functionality is perfect. Just about every aspect of the bag is well thought out and constructed. My only wish is that it was collapsible. I travel with a lot of gear that I pack in a separate wheeled carry-on and load my camera bag once I get to where I'm gong, this allows me to custom outfit my equipment bag based on the days shoot but this bag is so good I'll find a way to get it packed for the next outing. Well donw PD!
Such a versatile backpack. Took it with me on my trip to Europe. Perfect as a personal item with enough room to fit all your gear and keep it organized
It says on the info PDF that it fits a 16in MacBook Pro. And I can get it in the bag but it's not a good fit. If you have the laptop in bag then you cannot access any of the other back pockets. Not as convenient as I was hoping. Having a hard time finding a good looking back that can really hold a 16 in laptop.
Pack your gear differently. Reach from the side or from the top for smaller items. Easy to clean . Room enough for bottle of water on the sides. I will put my name in it since there are some that have the same backpack! Proves popularity. Sturdy design that also is a perfect fit for my silver flute :) when not photographing. I like the top pocket for phone and or wallet. Easy access . All zipps are " lockable" by a simple pull and push loop system. The side flaps contain multi extra soft to the touch mini pockets accessable via inside and nicely and safely tucked away. So far, this is the safest backpack I have seen to protect my expensive camera and lenses. The extra flexible pads come individually and are very firmly holding on to the sides. That takes a bit of getting used to.The design doesnt allow for wide top opening . Camera and lenses best accessable via sides.The shoulder pads are firm and I do use the clips with strap now at the front that helps to walk up straight instead of hunched over. I like the looks and feel of the backpack. Matches any style I am wearing. Oh and though firm it is not too heavy! All in all a great choice that will ladt me for ages since it is very well made. I am proud to own it.
Perfect fit for daily use! Especially at tropical country

Never spent that much money for a bag pack in my life but it's totally worth it! V1 has been my day to day use and it never fails me once. I lived in Singapore and I don't even worry about raining day as V1 protect my stuff from getting wet.

I got this for my husband who is the photographer. He loves it. It carries all his equipment including a 15 inch laptop. He says that the interior is well thought out and has compartments for lenses, filters, keys, etc. and it feels good on his back. We got the bigger one in light grey. I only hope that it doesn't get dirty too quickly since it is a lighter color and it goes everywhere!
This bag holds together my life and all the chaos in it. On a recent trip, I decided to see how much I could fit inside the bag. Well after 4 days of traveling it held up to my expectations and more. A must-have for those bag enthusiasts who collect bags for putting stuff in them. Thanks guys keep up the great work!
