## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Features a built-in packing cube system which is really unique and convenient to use as it keeps your things organized.
-   Weather-resistant build that would last the test of time.
-   Can be used as a backpack or a duffel bag.
-   Can hold so much as it has a 42L capacity.

### Things to consider

-   Could use some frame to prevent it from looking saggy.
-   The laptop compartment could use some false bottom for better protection.
-   Not the best harness system you could see in a backpack.

## What reviewers said

-   "The versatility of this bag is unmatched! Perfect for sound cable organization for small events. My Denon DJ Prime Go fits in the trunk. Even with my quilted dust cover on top. With a laptop sleeve... I dare say I dont think I could ask for anything more."
-   "This bag met all of my expectations and feels equally appropriate for a camping road trip as a flight to an urban center abroad. Goodbye, rolling carry-ons."
