I work in navy shipyards and so i needed a work bag to carry a laptop, my tools (flashlights, mirrors, knives) and paperwork. So far i love the comfort, i think it looks great, i love the zippers because it gives me a lot of reassurance that they wont fail on me. (Im not a small dude. I dont mind the little bit of extra strength needed to open it. Just takes a second to get used to.)

I dont like the plastic clips. I ordered a 2 inch seat belt buckle right away and the smaller support buckle has already shattered on me. It was my fault. Slammed it between the car door as i was closing my truck by accident. Regardless, its sturdy, comfy and fits my needs. The white color against the red highlights really catches peoples attention. Super dope bag.

Firstly, Its not white. Its off-white. Its closer to beige than it is to white. Its like the color of a painting canvas almost. I thought it just "looked that way" in the photos due to camera or lighting. No, it's even less white than that. The red isn't really red either. Its very orange ish. If you're looking for an ultra white futuristic sterile bright white move long because this isn't that. The main reason I didn't just get 'another black bag' was for a slick white and red bag from the future so I could feel like I came straight out of mirrors edge or something. Kinda the whole point of the selection and a big let down. 1 star for poor naming and coloring. A warning or comparison photo to show how not true white it is would be justified and I'm sure appreciated. If you do any sort of color grading of photo or video just know that this is NOT at all "White".

In the pics I uploaded I tried to showcase the color disparity against a white button up shirt because the lights in my apt are all yellowy to begin with. Photos taken with Google pixel 10 pro on 50mp with default white balance and tint. That means the images are a bit warmer by default than the perceived color.

Everything else is mostly good though:

It does seem well made. Comes with a bottle of lubricant for the zippers. The fabric is rather stiff. I don't believe the fabric is waterproof (the material or weave) but rather it's water proofed on the inside with a thicker rubber or polymer coating. So the bag…

I bought the Max and the Max WP, and sent back the Max. While the WP material has a slightly crunchy sound to it, the bag is lighter and the straps are made of a less bulky material. After being out of the shipping bag and compression straps loosened, the WP material filled out and the bag holds a boxy shape that allows for easy access to the main compartment; I doubt the regular Max material would hold shape like this. The zippers aren’t any stiffer than any other fully waterproof zippers I’ve used and I suspect users with complaints in other reviews have never used a bag with them. Keep them occasionally lubricated with the provided liquid and you should be fine. The color is a very dark grey, almost black, that blends well with anything. The only downside is I wish they would have made one of the interior pockets with a zipper (non-WP) to secure my passport. Overall, very satisfied with the bag and glad I pulled the trigger on it after looking for six months.
