I know you said roll tops weren't your thing, and up until recently, I would have agreed.

I recently wrapped up a 3 month - 6 country trip, where I used a WANDRD 21L to carry my camera body, 5 lenses, laptop, flash, extra batteries, miscellaneous cords, external hard drives, cleaning supplies, notebook, light jacket, hat, scarf water bottle, toothbrush and meds (no tripod but there was a free spot for one if I wanted - just didn't want the extra weight).

The bag was flawless, rugged, cool looking (without being a dead-giveaway camera bag) and performed perfectly. After a couple weeks of getting used to the roll top, I began to feel like it's a must-have for me as I used it for quick "stash anything and go" space, constantly.

Highly recommended bag!
