The Camera Bag I Can't Live Without
This bag is so well thought out and is my go to camera bag. It's all because of something called camera cubes. There are two versions of this bag, one with and one without the cube - the difference is night and day, get the one with the cube.The bottom section of this bag houses a removable camera cube. This section can be accessed by unzipping the horizontal zip half way down the bag. This cube has movable dividers, a pocket in the lid, and a water resistant coating (beaded a bottle of water in a test). The cube can be completely removed from the bag and carried around separately. I find this very useful for packing up my camera and lenses before putting them into the bag. I can fit a full frame Mirrorless Camera, a standard zoom and two primes into this camera cube.The rest of this bag is great quality. You can unzip the compartment half way up for full use of the bag without the camera cube if wanted. there is enough space for an everyday backpack. Although this states up to 15" laptops, my 2021 16" MacBook Pro fits in the bag (it is a bit of a squeeze).Overall, an amazing backpack with an even greater camera storage system.

Perfect size.
Perfect everyday rucksack.Fits a 15" laptop and charger + everything that you need for a daily carry.Low profile design with high quality zips and materials.The removable insert is easy to take out and get access to in a pinch and can fit a full frame DSLR with two lenses easily.The rucksack straps are strong with heavy duty stitching and will last a long time with heavy loads.Overall, a great bit of kit!

Missing Key Components
First off I did not buy the bag, it was however bought as a birthday gift for me from Amazon. I write this review as an end user and recipient of the bag. I was looking for a general purpose backpack that would cover all my needs, travel, commuting, laptop carrier and photography day bag and to be honest it really does what I hoped except for a photo day bag (more on that later).Build quality is superb, I would have liked slightly thicker material (I’m a Billingham and Peak Design user normally) but it’s more than adequate for light use. Having a removable camera “pod” is great so if I don’t want to carry everything I just leave the pod out my bag no repacking needed when I want to use it again it just slips straight in.Now comes my particular issue there were no tripod straps included, so for me I cannot take my tripod along on day trips meaning it’s no good as a photo bag, I could probably use one of my lowepro protactic straps but I shouldn’t have to they should be included as per the description.Urth initially seemed helpful, I sent them photos as requested but then they wanted video evidence. I will update once the matter is sorted one way or another.To sum up, ignoring my missing parts it is a good bag, but in my opinion it’s way overpriced it’s more expensive than my Protactic BP350 aw ii which build wise is on another lever above this. I think it should cost around a third less than it’s current price.Update - Urth replaced the bag FOC excellent

All time favorite
I love this bag. I’m a wedding photographer and it hold everything I need! (I do carry on the lighter side though)It’s a beautiful well made bag that I can use for work and for everyday use. It’s aesthetically pleasing and suits most situations. I bought this for a cute photography work bag and a cute travel backpack. I 100% recommend.

My First Urth Bag
This bag is by Urth, which y is pronounced like "Earth". Their business model is based on Earth-friendly products. This bag comes with two cards that indicate this. One card says "Conscious Design. Positive Impact". The other card indicates that they plant five trees with the sale of every Urth product, and five more can be planted if you enter the code on the card. The bag is made from 70% recycled materials and is carbon positive.This is all good, and so is the bag (mostly).The bag is deceptively able to hold a lot of stuff. The lower half of the bag is devoted to a removable semi-hard shell case for camera gear. I would recommend this to mirrorless photographers. A DSLR and one lens may barely fit, but a mirrorless camera and two (maybe three) lenses could fit easily.The top half of the bag has a large compartment that shares some of its internal volume with two side pockets.Finally, there are two laptop/tablet sleeve pockets in the back. These are not very large, so you may have difficulty fitting anything more than a full size iPad.The quality seems nice, and I like the materials. The straps and back are thinly padded though, which seems to be an area they could improve.Overall, this is a nice backpack.

Perfect for all my small equipment
This is a good looking and durable multi purpose back pack. I'm using it to store and tote alot of my smaller cameras and equipment. I recently took it on a 2 week overlanding car camping trip instead of trying to make space for my nanuk 935. This worked out perfectly. I was able to sit it between the front seats on the back of the armrest, giving me access to everything with little trouble sitting in the passenger seat since I was the photographer this time. The only nuisance was when I have cameras in the removable padded case still in the lower portion of the backpack and the top portion filled. You can't easily tilt the top of the backpack back to access equipment in the bottom, so heads up. The zippers performed flawlessly and maintained ease of movement even being exposed to dust, although I did clean them nightly to prevent and hiccups the next day. It also endured 2 light rains, nothing penetrated the fabric or zippers, but for piece of mind I would like a rain fly over it, just in case. It has a zippered flap between the top and bottom compartments, if you unzip and open the flap it becomes one large compartment instead of 2 making it more versatile than just used as a camera bag. I didn't pack this on any long hikes only a mile or so, and the straps remained comfortable, they have a layer of softer foam and a dense layer to mitigate comfort. There were some inclines and declines where a sternum strap would have been appreciated. It has a removable lashing strap, intended more for strapping a jacket or soft goods to the outside and not my tripod due to it attaching at the top and bottom and not middle and bottom. Not that you can rig something up, but it's definitely not solely designed for camera equipment. Overall I'm very pleased with this back pack, not only is it attractive and more compact, it's durable and definitely water and dust repellant.Hopefully this was helpful, Thank you!

Bello ma macchiato
Zaino arrivato nei tempi, però arrivato macchiato. Per il costo mi aspettavo quantomeno che arrivasse in ottime condizioni. Non è possibile neanche contattare il venditore tramite Amazon.
