[Yes] I was looking for a backpack that was comfortable can withstand the elements and protect all the gear inside. I came across a YouTube video review of it and loved it almost immediately. I'm very picky and specific when it comes to tech and gear and this bag checks all the boxes except for one, but definitely not a deal-breaker. I only wish it had a dedicated tablet sleeve along with the laptop sleeve instead of the foam ground cover. I can fit both in the one sleeve but would prefer to not have them laying on top of each other. Aside from that the bag is perfect. The X PAC material is wonderful as I plan to be in many different weather environments. The sleek form factor is wonderful and the depth and side access are marvelous. I really like the expanded roll top space for whatever I need it to be. It's strangely lightweight despite all the gear and feels really nice.
It's hard to find the best backpack for one's needs and this backpack is the one for me. I plan to stick with this backpack for a long time as it covers my daily use and travel use. I will definitely keep an eye on Compagnon products as they fit my style. Great backpack

[Black] Been using the small 20L version for my lightweight setup. The roll top allows me to even go for a weekend with clothes and cameras in a small package. The material has been durable for the 6 months or so I’ve had it, still looks new.

My only complaints are that the water bottle holder is pretty tight but that also allows for secure storage of any other small item you throw in that spot, so I make work. For a larger medium size bag I have the Tenba Axis and that is great as well.

[Universal] Trying to find a sling that could stow a 16 Macbook Pro and camera gear was a pain, but this bag does it. I didn't want to go the backpack route because my primary mode of transit is subway rides, and you end up having to sling/unsling a backpack there anyway.This is a little more compact than a backpack. Has side access, so you can swing it around front, unzip, and deploy the camera. The rolltop is nice for stowing a raincoat or sweater as needed. I haven't used it as a weekender bag but imagine it would make a good all-in-one bag for light travel. Very durable material, water resistant, and plenty of pockets and customizable inserts. It's definitely not an EDC - you'll still want something smaller if you're doing a photo walk or doing street photography - but for schlepping into the office, working part of the day from a cafe, or going on a larger on-location shoot, it's perfect.

[Yes] love the Backpack

[Black] I’ve tried a few tech organizers and this is by far the best! Not too big but not so small that you can’t fit the gear you need. It feels like it’s made of quality materials and will last a long time. I’m very pleased!

[Universal] I wanted a bag that could fit my Pentax 67 plus an extra lens, and my Nikonf2 plus an extra lens. This bag does a great job of carrying both and I still have plenty of space for my sx70 and other accessories.

[Yes] Easily the best cable organizer pouch I’ve found! Definitely worth the purchase.

[Yes] I am a very picky buyer and I have tried more than 20+ backpacks so far in the last 6 months. My search is over. I have finally found a bag that is designed really well and is made of top notch quality. While the price may be on the top end, you get what you pay for. This is a much better backpack than the new Shimoda Explore V2. Love this backpack.

[Universal] Just Excellent , it's much all the way better than my ONA and Oberwerth small bag for the money...

[Yes] :) This bag has enough room to pack all i need.
