I really like the laptop + kindle pocket in the rear. There are enough pockets in the front without being excessive. It's large enough to carry 2 or 3 notebooks, my EDC, but not so large as to encourage bloat. the exterior seems rugged, the strap is comfortable. I haven't come to a conclusion on the "buckles" I certainly like them more than the generic plastic buckles but they can be fiddley to hook up and unhook.

Overall, I am really pleased with this bag and will be using it for a long time. I would buy it again.
