I admit that you have to do carefully what is not unbedngt easy at first if you do not know this system.
I have for 10 years a similar bag of Louis, in the pouring rain on my BMW across Europe has several thousand km behind and never even a single drop of water came in.
For people who do not know, that's hard to believe, but it is so.
In order to penetrate, the water would have to crawl through the snail shell-like roll of fabric, which is impossible by force of gravity on the planet. That's why not only use bikers, sailors and marines this system for decades.
Course, if you only know Zippers that comes a natural in front of strange and incredible.
Sure, if it's pouring with rain, water collects at the top of the folds, but it does not penetrate.
You can follow experimentally the same with a clear plastic bag.
If you roll up the bag opening several times, it is dense.
The white also every housewife who dawns a pack of rice or noodles and closes again after this Mezhode and secures with a rubber ring.
I contend that such closures are likely to resist even high-pressure cleaner.
----------------------------
No sooner had opened the package, I had to fight hard against wife and daughters around the bag to keep it to myself.
Because it looks like an exclusive designer standing or glider bag and also for shopping or as spacious XXL handbag she would make good figure.
Indeed, the part not only looks cool out, it is also through and through high-quality and smart, designed in Japan by Kenko Tokina Ltd (known for photo lenses) and made in China, but with quality management.
In any case, the bright yellow bag is not to overlook the beach or the mall.
The good piece to give away is of course not, but I could create a waiting list and sometimes borrow it to his wife and daughters for Dende's week, suggesting the value of my shares within the family equal to 20% rise.
But to the point:
The Interceptor weighs 900 gr is, outside of the Frisian-Kunsstoff, which is also used for fishing-gear.
A cover of fine woven nylon with Velcro sewn on the inside.
In the bag is - just like a motorcycle boots - a abnembare and spacious inside pocket with divisions that, as usual, can be placed anywhere with Velcro fasteners.
Other compartments with zippers for example, batteries, memory cards, notebook etc. There are not even any more external compartments eg for mobile phone. But you can put everything into a smaller extra pocket in the inside pocket or loose.
The bag is undoubtedly buoyant, it reminds me of the yellow floating strap for marine binoculars from Steiner. Since the nylon cover is very finely sewn, there can not penetrate water.
Closed the cover with 2 hook and loop fasteners, to only about 30% of the length of closure. Only when the cover is repeatedly rolled and secured, a good seal is ensured. This closure system is also used in sacks for Marines and motorcycle luggage and has proven itself.
In practice, this means that the bag will float if dropped from the sailing boat into the sea.
It is clearly visible and may take several minutes remain tight until they can be fished out again.
The funktionniert course only when you close the lid nylon carefully and repeatedly curls.
Why the manufacturer did not mention this feature seems understandable to me. He wants to be well spared from claims for damages in case of an emergency. But in my experience with motorcycle rides in a train under stormy conditions is completely reliable this type of bags to the Mediterranean. I would have no hesitation.
The shoulder strap is located in the delivery in the bag, can be adjusted as desired at both ends. One can carry the bag comfortably on the hip. The very generous padding can be displaced, even when fully loaded is not pressing the bag.
The fortifications on the bag with a stainless steel spring käftigen seem endure a lot, more than you can pack on weight, with the possible exception of a charge bullion.
What's a little disturbing that many are carrying strap when you carry the bag over his shoulder. They have already set up and the cross belt thus ensuring not ever shoot around it.
Now look at the overall assessment.
There are women who pay many thousands of euros in Paris for leather handbags that are sewn together by the Chinese for 45 euros in garages and there are people who are incredibly stingy and not n be able to appreciate the value of good objects. That is difficult for me therefore to formulate an objective assessment of this case under these circumstances. No matter how you do it, it's wrong.
On the other hand I have to protect and transport of photo and video equipment 8 aluminum case, 10 ABS case and 7 bags of fabric, not to mention the stuff that is housed at my children. Much is garbage, eg the China-aluminum case, which consist of composite plates, which are held together by aluminum profiles by too short and too few screws.
Good ABS case with gaskets usually cost more than 100 euros. Good fabric bags 50 euros upwards.
No matter what you buy, you will anyway can not have everything.
The Interceptor is robust and practical, waterproof and buoyant, but the equipment will not protect like a brand ABS case when an SUV rolled over it. On the equipment I'm not as fast as with a Delsey ran with magnetic closure, but apart from that the Interceptor is in their class a great number.
At 90 euros, I recommend a little stomach ache the part, but eventually that's no more than a premium filter for my expensive lenses.
Whoever loves his equipment, an elegant and effective part for outdoor looking and want to stand out from the crowd, which is not afraid of the issue.
The others, with Medion cameras through the area, running and etc. lug around any premium equipment from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji for a four-figure sum, will continue to be happy with a plastic bag of Aldi for 10 cents anyway ,
Therefore, for the owners of precious devices that have a special and perhaps emotional relationship to their equipment: Buy rating.
