I hesitated for a long time before buying, but I am extremely satisfied and have no reservations. The bag is very practical, carefully made, the material and zippers are durable, and the seams are solid. The appearance is impressive, and there are plenty of pockets and handles. For me, it's truly the Mercedes of bags :)

The bag is solidly made, extremely durable and versatile. I originally bought it as a convenient cover for things for work, but it quickly became my main everyday EDC without which I don't leave the house. It has been used in various situations and conditions, both privately and professionally, and after three years of intensive use, it shows no signs of wear. It is the perfect size for everyday use – not too big, not too small.
-
Excellent build quality, well-designed external pockets (the 'small' version doesn't have them), a 13" laptop fits with ease, and the rubber bottom is the same as the 'small' model. The perfect size for everyday use, I have and have tested both variants. I definitely recommend it!

The bag is very good and so spacious that you can carry 10 beers and a knife in it.

Great bag, fits as many as 10 beers.

The bag is very carefully made. There is no access to the main compartment from the top, as in the Wombat, which would be a practical solution. In my opinion, the base could be a bit wider. A 13-inch laptop fits easily in the additional compartment. The interior has high-quality lining. Overall, I highly recommend it – it's rigid, holds its shape well, and the extra pockets are really useful.

For me, this bag is very functional and original. It stands out for its solid workmanship, is rigid and always looks good. The shoulder strap is comfortable and keeps the bag from slipping or digging into your shoulder. The compartments inside help to keep things organised and make it easy to find what you need. There's no point in mentioning the buckles and zips, because they work flawlessly. I like its urban-military look. I use it every day – for work and outside of work.
