I hesitated for a long time before buying, but I am extremely satisfied and have no complaints. The bag is very practical, carefully made, the material and zippers are durable, and the stitching is solid. The appearance itself makes an impression, and there are also plenty of pockets and handles. For me, it's a real Mercedes among bags :)

The bag is very good quality. I appreciate the number of pockets, although for me the main compartment is a bit too small. After placing the laptop in, there is not much space left, but that was probably the intent. The laptop compartment fits a 13-inch ThinkPad perfectly; you need to remove all USB dongles first to insert it. Once you get used to it, you appreciate its compactness. The bag is sturdy—I even added extra pockets using MOLLE straps.

I am satisfied with the capacity and organization, but I would change a few elements. The swivel shoulder strap mount is inconvenient, and I also replaced the hip belt clips with buckles, because the original ones were hard to use. The pockets could open flat, although one has a clever drawstring to prevent it from opening all the way. The velcro panel inside has sharp, unsecured edges that painfully hurt the skin – I had to tape them. The external open pocket is not very comfortable, because it’s stiff – it’s hard to take something out of it, e.g. a VIS organizer. A flexible collar would be useful. After 4 years, I can say that despite these flaws, I haven’t found a better bag.

The bag is very sturdy, capacious, and durable. It has many pockets and compartments for various trinkets. The material and workmanship are impeccable. I highly recommend it.

The bag is solidly made, incredibly durable, and versatile. I originally bought it as a convenient case for work items, but it quickly became my essential everyday EDC that I don't leave home without. It has been used in various situations and conditions, both personal and professional, and after three years of heavy use, it shows no signs of wear. It's the perfect size for daily use—not too big, not too small.

A very good bag for everyday use. Made with great attention to detail.

Great quality workmanship, well-planned external pockets (the "small" version doesn't have them), the 13" laptop fits without any trouble, and the rubber bottom is the same as in the "small" model. The perfect size for everyday use; I have both variants and tested both. I definitely recommend it!

This is already my second bag from this company. The previous one was almost the same, but it had a few design flaws. After using this model for a longer time, I see that these issues have already been resolved.

I’ve been using it for about six months. It works great as a university bag. It’s not especially spacious, but easily fits a first aid kit and small EDC accessories. The side pocket for a bottle could be a bit bigger so a wider thermos would fit. I also appreciate the many options to attach a flashlight or keys. The carrying strap is comfortable.

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