Impressed with how much you can fit in, without it looking bulky. Getting down to nitty gritty details, I wish that it had a strap to keep the tripod upright, as I found that it sagged/pulled away, which then made the bag quite wide. Only other thing would be changing one of the front ‘free’ pockets to a zip pocket, as it’s nice having an easy access pocket that is still secure.

I wanted to wander the cities without a bulky camera bag and this fits the purpose perfectly. Fits all I need for a day out. One reviewer said if your hesitating, don’t, just buy and I’m glad I did.

I had been looking for a messenger style bag to replace my old worn out bag - and struggled to find something that I thought would work for camera-work or other trips.
After a very prompt and helpful answer to a question I'd sent to taz+tez - I went ahead and bought the black Archy 2 - and it has been brilliant!
The back back is comfortable and easily fits my camera and other items, the removeable insert was helpful and provided suffisient padding, pockets (incl exterior drink side pockets) suit a range of purposes, including the concealed pocket against your back.
I didn't think I needed the extended handle configuration, but it worked a treat when visiting museums or galleries that didn't want a backpack situation by visitors.
I used and highly recommend the Archy2, after four weeks of travel it is still comfortable and is in excellent condition.

This backpack looks beautiful, is made of high quality materials and has all the storage compartments one would need for carrying all the essentials. The inner camera pouch is big enough to fit my Leica SL3 with a 50mm prime lens attached and a second lens (my Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 mark II).
The clever bag straps that easily convert this from a backpack to a shoulder bag is a great idea and can make for easier stowing of one's camera on the go. Love it.

Its stylish and efficient all in one, I use it for work and trips, it looks very professional and with a clean and efficient design, the switch between backpack and side wearing makes everyday use very easy, specially because I can ride my bike to work and walk around town without having to change bags, it fits my 13'' laptop, my notepad and all my items, the internal lining and pockets division is very large and generous. The outside pockets are very ease to reach and the front 2 are my favorite as I can store items such as sun glasses and phones, and they are fully protected. Absolutely worth the purchase. The size is also ideal as I am petite, I was looking for a bag not to big, but that could carry all my essentials.
