Hey there! So, I just got my hands on this bag that arrived in the mail today. Another user shared some pics, but I don’t have more to add right now unless you have something specific in mind. I just want to share a few thoughts in case you’re on the fence about trying or buying this bag. Let me compare it a bit to the Mini MLC I had before.
First off, let’s talk about the laptop/admin panel. Unlike the Mini MLC, the laptop space in this bag isn’t separate. It’s in the main compartment and has less organization. The 14″ MacBook Pro might slide around a bit in there, but it’s padded on both sides. There’s a bit of padding on the back panel that’s missing on the front, and the top cover has some padding too. While the laptop may feel loose, you can squeeze in a laptop sleeve for extra padding, although it takes up more space. I managed to fit a Cotopaxi 14″ laptop sleeve in there by bending it a bit.
Moving on to the admin panel, it surprisingly offers decent organization with pen pockets, slip pocket, zip mesh pocket, and a large zip pocket. Just be cautious with bulky items pushing into each other. The main space is roomy, similar to the Mini MLC, with a mesh that zips around. You can stuff a bunch of items in there, and the front outside pocket is expandable, though it gets snug when the main compartment is full.
The external lash loops can be attached across the front or back panel, but they might block zippers. The backpack shoulder straps are comfy, and there’s space to add a hip belt for stability. The messenger strap is basic, with no padding. The bag’s material is a mix of rubberized and standard, with the rubberized part possibly aiding in waterproofing.
One thing I found unnecessary is the two small handles on the front. They could have been replaced with a cup holder. I plan to use this bag for a test run and then possibly for travel. The noble grey color is a nice balance of subtle and colorful, and the logo isn’t too flashy.
Overall, this bag seems versatile and spacious, though a bit bulky when fully loaded. If you have any specific questions or need a closer look at any part, feel free to ask. The online images don’t do it justice, so happy to help out!
