Some minor quirks

By Nathan
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-20

I'm quite happy with this bag that's replaced my last travel bag that I had for over 15 years - so big shoes to fill. I really like the magnetized top unless you are going in and out a lot, then it gets a little annoying. Construction is great and it sits well on my back. My only little grievance is the zippers. When they are closed and you are walking they hit into each other and make the slightest high pitched, "clink, clink, clink" and it drives me crazy. I've wrapped one in gaffer tape and it helps a bit but I shouldn't have to do that on a bag like this.

Great Personal Travel bag

Think Tank does not disappoint and this bag lives up to the name. I don't consider this to be a photo gear bag but a great accompanying bag for travel. Great fit, great features, highly comfortable to wear, plenty of space and the laptop sleeves are great and fit a 15" Macbook pro with ease. I was highly skeptical of the magnet top closure when ordering but now that I've been using it I wish all my bags had this feature. It's clutch for grabbing things quickly and more secure than I imagined it could be. If you're looking for a personal travel / tech bag this one does the trick.

What are the dimensions of the lower compartment? Since it is open, I would need to consider a padded insert.
