I didn't like this solution, but I have to be objective – the build quality is great, and the ideas are interesting. However, due to its design, if you fill it with different things, it becomes too heavy and impractical, so you still end up needing a backpack, which costs only slightly more. I think it's too expensive and not very useful as a gadget. Now I use a water bag, which, although it was more expensive than a backpack, works great as an organizer for power banks, cables, a multitool, or headphones – exactly like the cheapest pouch for 40 zlotys.
