The reviewer reports that this sample's sternum strap was extremely tight and took about a minute to remove. The shoulder straps swivel and rotate with the wearer, which the reviewer says helps when accessing the bag. Hypalon and nylon loops on the shoulder straps provide attachment points for accessories, including a Peak Design capture clip.
The side pockets stretch for larger items and use magnets to lie flat when empty, according to the reviewer. The adjustable laptop sleeve has a suspended false bottom and accommodates either 13-inch or 15-inch laptops.
