The reviewer says the hidden lower-back pocket is small enough that anything beyond cash and perhaps a passport shows through. The reviewer fit over-ear headphones and a DSLR with an attached lens in the center pocket while carrying both devices behind them. The larger front compartment includes two ample flat pockets and pen loops, with enough space for a mouse or power supply.
The reviewer found the pockets bar-tacked and reinforced, while bias-taped seams concealed fabric edges inside both tested bags. The reviewer fit a cable organizer filled with photography accessories and adapter cables inside the front zipper pocket, with room remaining.
Reported strengths

- The reviewer fit over-ear headphones and a DSLR with an attached lens in the center pocket while carrying both devices behind them.
