Thanks to the large zipper at the top, I always have quick access to my camera, which is especially important when a snapshot opportunity suddenly presents itself. This allowed me to react immediately the other day when I spotted the rare squirrel with the hazelnut on the park bench. This saves a lot of time, and you never miss an important moment again, since you don't have to spend ages unpacking the camera. The robust materials and the shock-resistant EVA front give me peace of mind. I know my equipment is well protected, even if the bag accidentally bumps into something or is set down. I even had a situation once where a glass of water spilled onto the bag. Absolutely nothing happened, as the water-repellent material simply beaded up and ran off. The organization is really well thought out, with a mesh pocket for memory cards and filters, which keeps things tidy and the small, essential items within easy reach. There's also a separate compartment at the front for cables, batteries, and headphones. Furthermore, I can easily stow a water bottle and a small umbrella in the elastic side pockets, which has already helped me during many an unexpected downpour. The invisible back pocket for my smartphone or wallet is a fantastic addition that keeps my valuables safe. I also find the strap on the bottom for attaching a tripod to be a great feature, as I no longer have to lug the tripod around all the time. This was a huge relief when I recently took a long-exposure photograph of the waterfall.
