1 I’m 6’1. 230lb.

This bag is too skinny. The straps jam into my back where the attach to the bottom. The huge flat doesn’t do anything. Waterproof? Nope because the bag opens wider than the flap. If you ware it in the rain, it WILL fill with water.

The main compartment is a plastic lined sack. Nothing inside, just a rubber bag. The 2 front pockets, what are they even for? NOTHING fits in them. They are too tiny for a phone, you can’t put a pin in it and close the flap!

The laptop sleeve is on the front so as you walk there a huge weight swimming off the front of the bag. The only padding is in the straps and that is scant. Next you have what I can only describe as pencil case as it is the width of the bag. About 3 inches tall and no depth as it is flat against the bag.

There is a “hidden” wallet compartment a red drawstring hanging off of it so you can see. What ever goes in there that shape presses into your back. The large buckle that secures the flap has its extension strap that hangs off really really far. The water bottle pockets are large, but also have an expandable strap with way way way too much expandability so they have given you Velcro straps to ball up the extensions and they just hang there and the Velcro grinds into your arms.

This is very expensive and useless, and if you take it out of the packaging, you can’t return it.

Hit me up if you want one. I’ll sell you mine, CHEAP!!

I wanted a bag that would be as good as my pre-Covid Chrome backpack that I used EVERY DAY up until a few weeks ago (yes, like six years). I only gave it up because the chest strap broke and CHROME DOES NOT REPAIR anymore. I could probably have used that bag for another ten years.

This new bag LOOKS really nice.

It is VERY comfortable. I tell you, the way it sits on the back is just about perfect. You hardly notice it there.

I packed for a two night trip to Florida and I had room to spare.

The main downside to this bag is the lack of storage. There are two little flap pouches. They don't hold much.

There is a laptop pouch. You better have a Macbook Air or whatever. My 15" Lenovo will not fit in there unless I let it stick out of the top of the pouch. And there is the question of what to do with the laptop's power supply. There is no additional spot for that.

The interior of the bag is that Chrome waterproof rubber thing. It is fine, but I don't think the website explicitly mentioned that. It's fine, but it has a weird feel. I would prefer if the interior was some regular fabric.

Because of lack of storage: I am buying some more Chrome accessories to make up--a tech pouch and some sort of thing that holds papers and pens. So this becomes like a 200--something dollar bag.

BUT It is still VERY good. It LOOKS and FEELS VERY good. So it is almost DEFINITELY worth it.

(But it would have been WAY better if there were more pouches and storage).

One more thing!…
