“I am not a photographer - I bought the backpack for work because it has amazing organisational options.
It is astronomically expensive. Is it worth the money? Hell no - no backpack is worth $500+. Does it give you more than something half the price from say Simpl or Minaal? Probably not a lot. Would I buy it again? Sadly, yes!
It's incredibly solid and well made. The materials feel like quality. Organisation options are enough to satisfy even the most OCD of users.
I bought the bag, two small cubes, and a divider kit, which proved to be overkill. Either get a cube and the divider kit, or two cubes. You won't need all three.
The velcro-friendly insides (which don't feel like horrible velcro, so don't worry) mean that you can add your own DIY organisation options - for example I added a pen-holder strip with some 10mm velcro tape, as well as an extra key-holder.
Access options from top and the fully-open rear flap are brilliant. Why haven't I had this for the last 30 years of my working life?!
Minor grumbles - the side flappy pockets are a little loose for normal drink bottles (they're designed to accomodate camera tripods etc too); and the laptop sleeve is a tight fit for my 16" macbook pro.
So, great bag which does all I want it to as a non-camera person. Buy once, cry once - the asking price is eye-watering!”
