Suggestion for improvement
on January 5, 2025
Posted by: Iman
from Paris
I really like the design of my bag, especially the magnetic feature on the straps that keeps the handles attached to the back when the bag isn’t on my shoulder. However, I’ve noticed an issue with the magnet on the body of the bag—it tends to come loose quite easily. Both my friend and I experienced this with the right-side magnet.
To fix it, we had to reinsert the magnet and stitch over its surface to keep it secure. I think adding a stronger internal holder for the magnet, or reinforcing the existing one, would solve this issue and improve the overall design. Thank you for creating such a stylish and functional bag, and I hope this feedback helps! 😊

All good but

The band that crosses the chest to hold both shoulders strap from slipping is hard to hookup. Because the little strap goes to close to the clip.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful bag, not up to par with EDC’s in 2024
on October 28, 2024
Posted by: Naiemreza
from Washington, DC
The bag is beautiful, functional, and gets the job done. In 2024, can I recommend this at the current price point? Probably not, unless you are already in the ecosystem. The bag needs a non-compromised approach to organization. The two big things I see in competitors are: 1) a dedicated AirTag pocket. I don’t want to compromise and use an existing pocket like I do currently, so I can reserve these for my gear. I’d also like to see this hidden. 2) a dedicated quick access pouch. This is a no-brainer; the ability to access essentials without having to expose all my gear would be great, ie AirPods / sunglasses. 3) straps. The straps are the biggest shortcoming of this bag and could use some love with some newer tech like Aer and Alpaka.

My favorite coyote since Wile E.

I’ve had the V1 30L for a number of years but it was a bit big for “everyday” use and I wanted something smaller. The V2 20L has well thought out updates and is the perfect side for carrying to work and brining my camera along. Been using it for a month, including a bit of travel and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Great quality, but not Coyote!
on March 25, 2025

I am a fan of FDE and Coyote colors, and they do vary slightly from product to product; one thing Coyote isnt supposed to be is gold. Honestly, the bag is top quality, but them calling it Coyote is very misleading! If you want a bright gold bag that catches everyone's attention and says "I have expensive stuff in me, steal me, steal me!" Then this is the color wave for you! Otherwise, stick with black or gray.

All around functional and practical backpack
on September 14, 2024
Posted by: Raj
from Charleston, SC
I do have the 30 L version of this backpack, and find it immensely well thought thru and well reasoned design. The materials are top notch (Coyote is really nice) with little discoveries around every corner it seems - a pocket here, a fold there, a cranny on the other side, all useful. I have owned a lot of camera centric bags over the years and this migrates you away from the mundane and downright boring. Grab it and try it, chances are you will be looking to get something else soon thereafter !
