I'm an overpacker and Type A traveler here, so the Marlo Backpack was perfect for keeping my camera gear and daily necessities actually organised! Highly recommend if you love function and style. It genuinely saved me the stress with how easy it makes taking out and storing my camera.
I have nearly all T&T bags including the Tildy (larger of this one) - I travel a lot from regional Vic to Melbourne and the Tildy is an amazing overnighter. I've recently started doing wildlife photography with a RF 100-500mm and had been using the Tildy for day trips and it was a little chunky (but still great!). However the Marlo is the PERFECT day trip bag and fits my Canon R7 mounted to a RF 18-50 and R5ii mounted to RF 100-500 - can't believe how much still fits in the small version. So much love to these bags and this brand 🖤
The bag itself is beautiful but I have an issue with the convertible strap.
In backpack mode, it should be kept into place by the integrated top luggage handle. However one side always slides because of the weight of the bag (even with only one camera one lens so not an overly heavy kit). The fact the strap does not stay symetrical in backpack mode makes it unconfortable.
Pictures show the bag handled by the right side of the strap (fine) and handled by the left side of the strap (does not lock). Then I put it on my back for a few seconds and removed it without touching the main strap. It's worse when wearing for a longer time or with some more gear.
I'm sad about this because everything else feels great.
I had a black tech bag, and it carried essentials that I needed for carry-on. All my lithium batteries, and a little phone charger. But laptop and camera chargers, power point adapters used to be messy in my checked luggage. So a matching tan T&T tech bag is just the thing for keeping those out of my shirts and undies. I'd recommend everyone getting two of these bags.
A great bag to put all of my cards, batteries, sd card readers and filters without worrying that they'll get damaged.
