Pros:	Great design, weather proof basically, holds the laptop perfectly, roomy
Cons:	The zipper is a tad tight

I love this bag! I used to have a much more expensive Lowepro and it sucked. The zippers broke and the bag was flimsy. This Tenba bag is diesel!! It has a semi ridged interior grid that can be totally customized. I can fit all my essential camera gear with a back-up body and my laptop and tri-pod all in 1 package. Yeah it weighs a ton when fully loaded, but the bag can handle it, and it has all the straps ans supports to anchor it down on the body for hiking ect..

One Time Michele and I were on a remote shoot at a waterfall scene for an engagement shoot. In the middle of our shoot it started Pooring!! I simply put the gear away and pulled out the rain pancho that is tucked in the bottom zipper compartment. I pulled it over and cinched it down with the draw string and low and behold, nothing got wet in the slightest and was raining pretty much as hard as possible.

Over all great bag. My 1 beef with it though is the zippers are really tight. There is a rubber zipper seal that probably causes some of this I'm sure, so it's sort of a given, but Michele does struggle with the zippers and I have to grab them pretty darn hard sometimes.

In the end, I highly recommend this bag, and I've been using it every day for over a year now. It's still in mint shape

Best,
Jay
