It is a very good looking bag. I like the design but it's very small. The material is also much thinner than I thought it would be, as you can easily see light through it. Although I like the handle, it makes getting into the main compartment a bit difficult. Overall I am happy with the purchase since I could not find anything else. The $60 price tag seems a bit high for what you get. Customer service at Planet Optics is excellent!
Pros: Very attractive, good stitching
Cons: Not much room
Would recommend: Yes

The Maxpedition Proteus Versipack is incredibly well built. It's waterproof, the carrying handle makes it really easy to either carry or adjust around your waist.
If I had to say there was an issue with it, it would be that the belt tighteners slips too easily. When I grab the pack by the plastic belt buckles so I can clip them around my waist, the weight of the pack pulls the belt tighteners and the belt tightness changes as a result.
An attachment to 'retain' the belt tightness would be helpful in this regard.
In addition, I have difficulty finding out which attachment tietacs or accessories I should be getting for the pack. I can see that the 5" tietacs are recommended, but it's not clear it those are to attach the Versipack to a backpack, or to attach accessories to the Versipack. Because I do not have a local distributor it's difficult to find out myself at a shop and I don't want to order an item online, have it delivered and find out it isn't what I need.
Pros: Lots of room, durable, hard wearing, carrying handle
Cons: belt adjustment slips, not easy to see what compatible attachment accessories are
Would recommend: Yes
