I was excited to purchase this bag from LTT, because I've been happy with their merchandise in the past. While the bag is of a very high quality, there are some design decisions that I can not understand.
The bag is incredibly well-made and feels even better than its price suggests. However, there are two main issues that stood out to me. Firstly, the bag is quite narrow, which limits its usability despite having numerous pockets and compartments. This design makes it challenging to fit everyday essentials comfortably. A wider bag would have made better use of these features and accommodated items like chargers more easily.
Secondly, the handle's placement is somewhat inconvenient. I prefer using a handle over a strap, but with this bag, it feels awkward to do so. The handle is positioned on the side and can't be pulled up comfortably. While I understand the design rationale, there are alternative ways that could have made the handle more functional.
Despite these drawbacks, the bag is still a high-quality product. It just seems like there was a missed opportunity in optimizing the width for better usability and improving the handle's ergonomics. If you're looking for a very compact bag and don't mind its limitations, this might be a good fit. However, if you need more space or prefer a more functional handle, you might want to explore other options.
