I still get the old color variant in brown / beige with LowePro as a manufacturer. The backpack seems however to be "identical" to the new color variant. I ordered the backpack, because I wanted to not have black. The color combination brown / beige looks good, but you quickly see dirt on the beige flap because she is very bright. The backpack itself is rather small. For notebook and accessories, it is sufficient, but a lot of other luggage no longer goes in. Since my old backpack was much more spacious. The workmanship is very good, as is the padding of the notebook compartment. Some little things annoy but: - The backpack tilts when turning off immediately forward - The two mesh pockets on the sides are not deep enough. When fast movements inserted objects such as bottles easily dislodged - The mobile phone pocket on the left strap is good perhaps for an old Nokia or Siemens mobile phone, a smartphone but it is much too small Overall, I'm satisfied but with the Backpack. The comfort - what with a backpack is actually the most important thing - is good. Who the course is sufficient should take him into consideration.
