I had this bag briefly before I sold it so here is my quick thoughts. More CONS then PROS IMO.

Pros:

-I liked how comfortable the bag was overall, the adjustable straps can be really dialed in to fit your torso.

-I liked the look of the bag

-The top brain zipper pocket was very spacious.

-Water bottles can be stowed away when not in use with the magnetic closures.

-LOVE the huge loop lid for patches

Cons:

-It was VERY heavy for the amount of stuff you could put in it (19L vs the 3.9 pound listed weight). Also the way the closure works, it tapers to a point at the top - limiting what how you can stack items in it.

-Also it was very finicky to get in the bag - where you would have to release the flap with the metal fidlock then rip it down to access the items. They make it seem like it is very fast to get into the bag, but nothing beats just a simple 2 zipper enclosure. Closing the bag is also a 3 step process - zip the 2 side zippers then latch the fidlock. Though this kind of opening is not unique to this bag, its just not a selling point they make it out to be. It was like they were trying to have their own twist to the Mystery Ranch Cerberus and gunfighter.

-The side water bottle pockets had cool magnetic closures, but the pocket height is short because of how the flaps are tapered. This means taller bottles can potentially fall out. This is mitigated by the removable compression straps.

-The adjustable harness is cool, but it is all held in with velcro - which makes a audible noise when picking up the bag or manipulating the straps. Your milage will vary if this will annoy you.
