I bought this bag for a recent trip to Iceland. Loaded it completely up with gear. It fits so much for the person who has a body, a nice size lens (or two), then a bunch of extra things to go along with it, like a tech bag, and an iPad or laptop. And I used this bag as a carry-on for my airplane trip. The top of the inside of the bag is cinched. And that’s where I think the downfall lies. This works great for anybody who’s planning to get quick access to their gear from the top. But the flap that goes over the top of the bag, does not have any kind of fastener other than magnets. Their magnets are not strong enough to consider the top of this bag closed to 100%.. while I never had anything fall out of the top of the bag everybody would go to grab this bag from the loop at the top and the weight was enough of a pull for the magnets to come off, leaving the bag with the feeling of being half opened which was disconcerting to everybody. Everybody thought they had accidentally open the bag and it was about to spill everywhere. Me friends TSA baggage helpers you name it this happened over and over again anytime anybody wanted to handle the bag. This will be resolved with either stronger magnets or what I would actually prefer is some other source of fastener that would be quick to be able to get in to. I get why they went with magnets it’s just doesn’t completely work.

Let me reiterate nothing came out of the bag because it’s cinched at the top it just isn’t 100% closed because the cinch has about an inch in the middle that it doesn’t close but you can theoretically get in the bag. Other than that the bag is fantastic.
