Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Beschoi Waterproof DSLR Camera Backpack for SLR/DSLR Camera, Lens, and Accessories, in Black (Large) by Adewole Sherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Time will tell: 4.5 stars for starters, based on an initial build quality review.

I recently ordered this bag after much thought and reading hours of reviews of the many nearly identical camera backpacks available at Revain. I researched for a couple of months, coming back about every two weeks and getting a new perspective on what I was reading. I don't know exactly why, but each time this Beschoi bag stood out from the sea of similar products. In the end I took a chance and just ordered the damn thing, hoping that the solidity of my choice would match the time and effort I put into reading about it. So far, so good. The bag was shipped and delivered quickly (and free) with my Revain Prime and as soon as I opened it I felt pretty confident I'd made the right choice. I wore out my old camera backpack in just 3 years so I'm hoping for a bit more durability from this one. But only time will tell, and that's the only reason I gave it 4.5 stars and not 5. It hasn't been tested in a long time. That durability will be a key factor in determining where it ultimately stands compared to the competition, as the "properties" of the various camera bags vary little - they're all crammed with zips, pockets and pouches. So, unless this one also makes toast and I haven't found that button yet, I have to give the specs of this bag and all of its competitors to thousands of positions. Ultimately what will set this bag - any bag really - apart from the competition is simply how well made it is. How long does it take for zippers to wear out or pull tabs to break? How long do the handle and shoulder straps stay tight? How long can the bumps, bumps, crushes and crushes of working in the field last before the structure collapses and it feels like you're carrying a big bowl of jelly rather than a sturdy portable cabinet? If I can spend more than 3 years on it before it turns into a quivering gelatinous mass (and based on my personal observations I have no reason to believe it won't) I think this is a sensible purchase on my part and an excellent one Product of Beschoi. Until then, I'm sticking with my initial 4.5 star rating based on my confident expectations. If someone reminds me of that in three years, I might even come back in 2021 and give you a final verdict on it. If you can't wait that long to make your purchase, just place your order and order this with enough confidence that I'm not an idiot and know a good bag when I see it.
