Review on Watson Coyote Lumbar Chest with Enhanced Safety Features by Rosalio Zavala

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My revised pros and cons! A separate laptop compartment is a great feature of this bag!

A separate laptop compartment is a great feature of this bag! I was thinking of other bags, but the laptop compartment on the back (aka the counter-clockwise section) is the super feature that is holding me back. !Pros: 1) Pack this bag after one of my other bags: it gains in size/weight every time!2) This bag has stiff sides that really keep its shape 3) This bag doesn't waste space in the vertical section of the fabric, which would weaken it 4) All of the above results in a squat iron arch that stands on its own in a small space and light weight 5) The Super Feature External Laptop Holder for Dell E7270 is compact and includes everything else! The elastic laptop zipper is durable and fits my laptop. I still can't believe it when I pick up my laptop. 6) Patch side pockets, convenient for temporary bottle carry or a simple walk. Slippery aluminum cups up to about 2.5 inches wide work best for me. 24 ounces with polar electrolytic insulation, just under 2.5 inches. I simply lift the contents into the side pockets to make them as narrow as the side bottles. Now I realize it doesn't have to be external stretch mesh pockets! Cons: 1) No side molle so I can add an admin molle and bottle molle whatever molle. But the current Watson doesn't have it on the sides, while every tactical sling on the market has Molle on the sides, right? Does anyone know how to add molle that is not woven inside? 2) Not enough bags that are in current bags! Make pockets in massive side pockets, elastic pockets on both walls of side pockets, inside. Especially since we don't have any Molle on the outside of the side pockets, we need more order in the valuable side pockets. 3) There is also no Velcro in the side pockets; This is my first modification (Mod #1): In the side pockets, stick the same velcro as in the main pocket, in the sides! I could then add dividers etc and separate velcro on the main side pocket panels (instead of throwing them in I'd like them to be predictable in position/velcro). elastic pocket or two small slits. It's really weird. It does not form a pocket or other seemingly useful feature. Maybe cut them out and put them in my own useful pockets (mod #2) Long live Watson!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
