## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Lots of small pockets for your little things.
-   Modern and sleek-looking bag.
-   Highly water-resistant that can protect your things from rain.

### Things to consider

-   Can only hold 15L so this might be better as EDC or as a work bag.
-   The laptop compartment can fit 15" but it's a snug fit and requires two hands.
-   The back panel doesn't provide good airflow.
