I really enjoy the styling and the durability of this pack. I like a lot of pockets in my pack and the dedicated space for a camera and lenses is perfect. Easy access from the front or the side zippers is perfect too. The mesh to keep it cool on hot days was important to me as well as the option to remove the camera compartment to make a deep bag. If you seal the bag with just the velcro at top without rolling the top over to close it with the latches, you have 22 inches of bag to work with. The bag does seem to be pretty weather resistant, but if you're in a monsoon, there's a zipper at the very bottom that houses a black covering that can go over the entire pack — kind of like a snazzy shower cap — for added protection against rain. You won't see it mentioned anywhere, but it's there. Still, don't go swimming with it. The only thing that it doesn't have is a side pocket that'll fit my 21 oz. Hydro Flask, but the zippered pocket on the side has a mesh inner pocket that will fit a regular 16 oz. water bottle. Laptop compartment easily fits my 15 MacBook too. This is a solid pack and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it.  Read Less
