The reviewer found the minimal top handle uncomfortable after only a few minutes of carrying the Dragonfly by hand. The reviewer reports that the X50 X-Pac version uses 500D Cordura, while VX21 X-Pac and Robic nylon are alternative material options. Compression straps and lower attachment loops let the reviewer secure larger equipment, such as tripods, ice picks, and trekking poles.
The stretchy front pocket accommodates clothing and other bulky small items, though filling it makes the external bungee webbing harder to use. Two interior zippered pockets provide limited organization because their stiff mesh has little capacity and the main compartment remains largely open.
