Before going into details, I would like to mention that this backpack is hardshell, which means that the outer part is hard. It is not as hard as polycarbonate, which is also available, but rather a kind of very rigid foam. You either hate or love these types of backpacks. Personally, I like them a lot and I have a non-photography backpack of this format and I love it, but there are mixed opinions on this matter. As I say, I like them because they give me the feeling that everything is more protected and it is always the same size so it is easy to find a place for it once you have it under control, but if you carry only a few things it still takes up the same amount of space.

Space is undoubtedly one of the strong points of this backpack. It has a rectangular design that makes good use of space and allows you to put everything you have and even some extras. The internal dividers are very functional and allow you to organize everything efficiently. As for comfort, it fits well on the back and is comfortable to carry even when heavily loaded because it is quite balanced. The carry handle is comfortable and handy, and the chest strap helps distribute the weight. A waterproof sleeve is also included, though luckily I haven't had to use it yet. The space for a laptop up to 16 inches is also interesting, but not groundbreaking.

The padding and protection zones inside are correct, especially on the sides, although the hard-shell part of the backpack left me a bit like this, because I expected it to have a bit more thickness or a small additional layer of padding inside, and it doesn't. Anyway, for something to get damaged, the impact would have to be really strong and possibly no padding would withstand it. The zippers are correct, but after having used other backpacks, I get the feeling that they are a bit hard.

In short, it is a spacious, comfortable backpack with good ideas, but with some details that could be improved, such as the protection of the hardshell and the zippers.
