The narrow woven strap is permanently attached and intended for left-shoulder wear, which conflicted with the reviewer’s preferred carrying direction. The Marqui uses 1050-denier black ballistic nylon for its body, paired with a full-grain leather front accent panel. The pouch provides exterior attachment loops for carabiners, while its rear open pocket can store the strap when carrying it by hand.
Inside, the Marqui combines one large compartment with two organizational pockets, and the reviewer found it surprisingly spacious when fully loaded. The reviewer considered the Marqui well made and stylish, while specifically valuing its pockets for organizing carried gear.
