Everything I'm looking for in a camera bag

I'm looking for 3 things in a backpack. 1) Quality/Durability - 2) All my gear has to fit - 3) And it has to look cool 1) QUALITY/DURABILITY - The zipper on my previous backpack didn't work and my camera and lens fell out. Luckily the camera was fine, but I broke my wide-angle lens. The cheapness of the backpack cost me $350 because I had to replace that lens. I won't make that mistake again. This backpack is still new, but I noticed a huge difference in quality as soon as I touched the material. The fabric I know for sure is strong and durable. It's hard to tell the difference between a quality zipper and one that will fail like my last backpack, but I suspect this backpack has good zippers. What I really like about this backpack is that due to its construction, if the main zipper ever fails while you're carrying a backpack, your gear won't fall out because it's next to impossible. The hole will be pressed against your back and will not open. It's hard to explain, but just look at the main camera bag zipper and imagine you're carrying a backpack and you'll see what I mean. The section with your camera and lenses cannot be opened when you are wearing a backpack, even if the zipper is unzipped. 2) FITS ALL MY GEAR - 2 DSLRs, 5 lenses, shotgun mic, audio recorder, various audio cables, multiple chargers, tons of batteries, lens cleaner and tools. I'm very happy that I don't have to put a lot of different unrelated things in one bag, everything has its place and there is still some space left. I also like the detachable pocket on top of the main bag. I have all my audio equipment and it makes it very easy to get what I need. I physically detach the bag from the backpack, take what I need and tape it back with Velcro. It's a small feature but very handy 3) IT LOOKS COOL - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so this section is entirely up to your individual style but I think this backpack looks really cool :) 4) BONUSES - COMFORTABLE – It's very comfortable to wear, even with all my gear inside. The padding on the back and shoulder straps is considerable. The perfect balance of durability and comfort, it looks like it will last. 15 inch laptop fits - The product page says the laptop is 13 inch or smaller but my 15 inch laptop fits. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it fits. I don't need to compress or weight it, it slides quite easily but protrudes just a little from the top. I'm happy with it though because I didn't expect it to fit at all. ONLY $65 - my previous backpack was $40. The difference in price is small, but the difference in quality is HUGE. My only complaint is that there is a tag on the bag to write your name and contact information on and that tag is too small. It's really tiny. I wrote as small as I could and never got close to putting my phone number in the space provided. However, it's okay. OVERALL - 5 stars, I am very impressed with every single thing about this backpack except for the name tag.
