The reviewer reports that the hidden bottle pocket fits only smaller bottles, limiting its usefulness for larger drink containers. The reviewer found the camera cube’s rigid, smart dividers useful, including a shelf that kept a pancake lens from bouncing around. The reviewer notes that the laptop sleeve fits a 16-inch MacBook Pro, while the adjacent small pocket holds batteries and filters.
The reviewer found the bag comfortable for several hours when carrying a mirrorless camera, a few small lenses, and a flash. The reviewer found the nylon shell sturdy, but its rougher texture attracted more pet hair and dirt than other nylon bags tried.
