Excellent review. I was considering this bag because it is so deep for its size and the lenses can be insterted "standing up" (as you said). I don't mind the lack of venting, but the lack of a rigid surface to protect the wearer from the internal contents is a non-starter. You just saved me $200. Thank you! PS, I am your 33 subscriber!
That was pretty much the same. I'm honestly not too sure how much the ventilation actually does on any bag that doesn't have a proper spacer (i.e. an actual hiking bag). Thanks for the sub! Should have a new video out in the next day or so!
I'm all about carrying smaller bags. For the last two years, I've carried the Vanguard Veo Go 42M. Recently, I discovered the Tenba Fulton Line. I have a 10L for "street photography" and a 16L for overnight travel. Both the Tenba and the Vanguard are awesome quality bags. I appreciate your honesty with this review. I was actually looking at their website when you mentioned the back panel issue. You just saved me some money!
Dood I have this backpack and forgot my peak design clip at home, same one as you.. need to hook that up. Great review! I fit my 16" laptop in here on a few flights and as you mentioned exactly, the velcro won't work but it is still padded enough to keep it safe.
I found an very good deal on this bag but haven't bought it yet..thanks for pointing out the back panel design. I saw an interview with the designer who came from mountain sport pack design, so this is surprising. I may customize the back by slipping in a foam panel or maybe a motorcycle back protector to shape it and ease the comfort. I like the rest of it and they're damned cheap now..
It's nice. I've been traveling and using it for photography and it's held up really well. Materials are of great quality and the camera cube I got with it in a bundle is awesome. If you can get it on sale I say go for it!

Funny you mention the Tenba 16L. After returning this bag I ended up going for a Tenba I should be reviewing soon!

Nice Video, it did help me a loot
If you like the shimoda explore 35l so much but want something smaller why not just get the 25l?
For me it came down to price with the Shimoda 25L running $372 and the Nya-Evo at just $139.
