As a photographer, traveller, and general bag addict, I've tried an uncounted number of bags over the years, most of which last for a few weeks or at best a few months. Every brand, every style, every size - I've tried them. The giant tote of bags in my garage is testimony to how many different bags I've tried. I've never had a bag that could serve double duty as camera bag AND day to day man-bag... until the Explorer Lens Quiver came along. This bag checks ALL of my boxes. First of all - HAND MADE IN AMERICA with incredibly high quality materials! Day to day, I carry my usual stuff in it - notebook, pens, wallet, water bottle, sometimes a laptop or iPad, small flashlight or small multitool, sometimes sunglasses, my ear buds, sometimes a small camera (insta360 X4), sometimes a bigger camera (Canon R5), sometimes even (after I added adhesive backed velcro to the large rear zippered pocket) I will carry my concealed carry firearm in the bag. For travel, it is perfect. I carry it on the plane with wallet, headphones, passport, water bottle, notebook (moleskin hard cover 4 1/2" x 7" fits perfectly in one of the two medium size pockets), pen, deck of cards, maybe sunglasses... just enough, not too much. If I decide not to carry it on the plane, but I want to take the bag with me in my suitcase, it lies FLAT! No other camera bag I know of does that! When I want to use it as a camera bag, It will hold extra lenses (Canon R series, specifically), extra battery, even a Flashpoint XPLOR 100 (Godox AD100 Pro) battery powered strobe! I can get the camera body in the bag with a small lens, but I usually don't use it for my camera, it makes the bag too bulky. I usually carry my camera on a shoulder strap over the Quiver. The Quiver allows me to carry just enough so I've got all that I actually need, without providing enough space for me to overload myself with a bunch of gear that I likely won't actually use. I've now bought two of these bags, one in waxed canvas and one in black. I really appreciate that they are made by hand, with the highest possible quality, in Oklahoma. I've now carried this bag, day to day, for a couple of years. There is no better made, better designed, or better thought out bag for me.
