Pros:	Attractive design, lots of room, good materials, plenty of storage pockets. Top lid opens outwards for easier access. Supplied padded lens cradle. Comes with 2 shoulder straps.
Cons:	Clips made of plastic. Weather proof jacket could be better designed for easier use.

This is the first M-Rock bag that I have had a chance to look at and I`m pleasantly surprised by what it has to offer. The materials used feel strong, has plenty of good storage space and some well thought out additions.
The interior sides of the bag have a thin piece of plastic material and behind that a centimetre thick piece of foam. Giving good protection from knocks and any moisture.

The bag has lots of small features that are well thought out. Like the lens cloth , the attachment system for the M-Rock lens cases. Also the padded lens cradle is a unique feature for placing the camera flat inside the bag making it easier to remove and also added protection. The weatherproof jacket is also handy, although could`ve been slightly better designed.

On the negative side, I would have also preferred the plastic clips for the shoulder strap to be made of metal for a bag of this size.

Overall , I can recommend this bag to anyone wanting a large capacity shoulder bag. Its certainly up there with the other large bag manufacturers when it comes to features.
