Regarding laptop access, I have both a 21L and what I do is always leave one zipper near the top of the bag, so when I'm pulling out the laptop, the bag stands on the floor, I only unzip the top and pull the laptop straight out. It might no be possible with how tightly you are piacking, though, but I think you're at the threshold where you need a bigger bag anyway.
If you use the load balancer straps, it will pull that bag higher up on your back and those straps will fall where they are designed to (referring to @ 11:00) - that bag is sitting low on your back for sure, its really obvious when you turned to the side.
hey! wanted to check, does the laptop compartment hold two 14" laptops? i currently own a peak design totepack for reference and it can comfortably hold two 14" laptops with space to spare thanks!
@@bukht01 no, it definitely won’t. I does for a iPad in there tho. But maybe two MacBook airs. But I would choose a different bag if you need to fit two computers
Good Question. It's about my needs. I occasionally wish I had gone with the bigger bag, but my family and I travel full-time. I already have a huge pack on my back and then this bag on my front. If it was a bigger bag, it would be harder to manage. For Photography, this is a great bag, but for video, it can be tight. With that being said, I do really enjoy the bag 🙌🏻
@@felixschober2845 it could be used for a daily carry for sure. But the center section of the page is certainly more packing weird shaped items like camera equipment. So it just depends on your needs. Otherwise it is a good bag. One things I’d note is if your really tall, like over 6 foot, this bag will probably feel small and not sit on your back properly

Great tip. And yes, I could have gotten the bigger bag, but I travel full time with other bags. So I had to downsize as much as possible lol!!

@@oldmantod good suggestion! When I do it just feels really high and tight, but I tested hiking today and it did feel more comfortable

Awesome!! I’m glad it was helpful!
Why didnt you go with the 20liter as theres not much difference in size but in liters?

How long have you used this bag? It got a really nice patina.
@@felixschober2845 I’ve used it for about 2 years. Been great. Do you have any specific questions about it I can answer?
Would you also recommend it as your daily carry (and not being a photographer)?

I‘m a 5.8 and that should be fine, right?
