My water bottle stayed put even when bending over. It was comfortable on my back even though heavy with photographic gear and laptop plus iPad. Laptop fits despite slim design. And it is beautiful. It sparked curiosity and compliments. I took it on the train from Pontedera to Grosseto for a weekend in the lovely town of Abbadia San Salvatore, where there is a stunning medieval church. I took it up Monte Amiata, too. I took pictures but nobody took pictures of me…
Amazing little bag. Very good organization features, overall design and quality. A bit more weatherproofing would make it perfect.
Build quality is great, especially the zippers, which feel very solid.
Overall, everything is as good as expected. The only thing I did not like, and which was not visible in the pictures, is that the inside of the bag is neon yellow. This does not look good and does not give the impression of high quality.
