Review (4/5): Not just for make up
I'm a conference organizer, and have a "Conference in a bag" bag. Version 1 was a camera bag, but it finally bit the dust after a few years and lots of miles by plane.
I bought this as V2.
It's mostly great. It's a bit smaller than I'd hoped (yes I knew the measurements, but didn't think about the rails reducing the internal dimensions a bit). It's proven to be problematic for air travel as there's no easy way to secure it in a TSA friendly manner. My last flight, I locked it, and had the key on the handle with a zip tie, was told that wasn't good enough, it had to be unlocked.
I've taken to caring duct tape in my luggage, so I can all the seems before checking in, and just hoping if the TSA open it, they reseal the tape, since otherwise the only thing holding it together is those little clasps.
The other issue (I'm probably rougher on it than make up folks) is it's not very strong. My last flight, it rolled onto the luggage belt with a huge gash in the side. Metal busted, insulating foam stuff busted. Was a little surprised the hole didn't go all the way in.
Other than that, it's actually quite handy, much more so than my old camera bag version.
