It's like a redesign of their Monolith 22 to fit into the Transit line aesthetics. I think that side organization might work in this smaller form factor than their Monolith 22 size, which seems actually bigger than this 24L.
When you were wearing the bag, the aesthetics were giving me Bellroy vibes. It’s cool looking for sure. You know, given the placement of the side handle, I wonder if they were trying to meet the needs of the backpack wearer and the briefcase user at the same time? I feel like I’d get completely annoyed with accessing the main compartment. I’d never want to go in from the side, unless I always kept my bag on its side when I was wasn’t wearing it. Hard to explain, but this one is definitely not for me.
I can see those Bellroy vibes for sure, probably because of that verticle pocket in the front. I can see some use-cases for side access, just not sure if this implementation will help. I'll still give it a go and report back. Thanks for your comment, my man.

I’ve been using it now for a bit and this far, I am not a fan of the side access. But I don’t want to cast judgement so soon.
