Great bag for camera and photo

I have been using this bag almost every day for several weeks. First the pros: 1. The bag looks great. I can take this bag to work and meetings and look like a pro doing it. I bought blue dark cobalt looks smooth. It doesn't necessarily look like a camera bag, so it doesn't draw unwanted attention.2. The top zip is the best part of this bag. I can carry the bag on my shoulder and get my camera out quickly and easily. I used the top zip exclusively and never had a reason to open the flap. I can access all compartments of the bag through the top zip.3. Waterproof. The fabric is rainproof and all zipped compartments are sealed.4. The shoulder strap is comfortable and easy to carry. I like the hooks on the bottom of the shoulder pad that keep it in place. I can thread the tape through with no problem. I also don't have the shoulder pain that I've had with other bags, so that's a plus. Buckles around the body to keep the bag in place while cycling (or running). Haven't really tried this yet, but I like having the option. 6. The bag is the perfect size for what I need. I can mount my Canon 70D with 70-200L lens + 1.4 extension. This is probably the maximum length of the chamber that you can close the bag at. Apart from the camera, there is room for 1-2 lenses, my wallet, tablet, water bottle, pocket camera and some flat items like printouts or cards. flap down They come off every time I use the bag. There's no way I can get her to stay locked up. Since the flap is really held in place by strong Velcro, it doesn't matter that the clips come loose. I was just annoyed that they rang and made noises when I left, so I ended up sticking them on. As I said above, I only use the top zip to access the inside of the bag so I never have a reason to open the flap so the clips don't matter to me. However, they could be improved with stronger magnets. Another thing to consider is the weight of the bag. It's heavy, but if you're used to lugging around photo gear, that's to be expected. Overall this is a great bag and I am very glad I bought it. I think it will last a long time and be a good investment for the serious photographer.
