Norite Backpack

At the time of writing (about a month of daily use) I have absolutely no problems with the bag and I’m very much enjoying it for my specific use case!

I bought this bacpack because I needed an all-purpose backpack with a neutral, but stylish look. Rain resistance is an absolute must for me, which fortunately is not a problem for this bag.

I keep an analogue point-and-shoot in the top pocket, and it manages to stay relatively dry in heavy rain. I would however consider moving sensitive equipment to the inside of the bag.

Inside the bag I carry everything from groceries to camera equipment and training clothes for BJJ. I’m happy to say that the bag can fullfil all those purposes just fine for my needs!

I’m curious about how well the two front zippers will hold up over time. If they break, the bag will be rendered unusable for most of my needs, so I’m very careful about using them when the bag is filled up. So far I haven’t encountered any problems, so I guess time will tell how long they will remain intact.

Excellent backpack. It’s very functional and I receive compliments on the look of it all the time. But I was most impressed with Urth’s Customer Service. 5-Stars all around.

I ordered the ash one, nervous that it will get soon dirty. Currently the backpack had been twice with me in Norway, cities and nature and its super easy to clean! Dirt doesnt really stick so much and if, I just take wet small brush and brush it off with ease! Super excited about that one!

The side access for the camera is great, I also love the top padded handle. At first, the back straps feels a bit stiff around the neck but after first trip I didnt feel it anymore.

The only thing I am missing possibly is some kind of horizontal strap on the back of it so its possible to attach to a baggage handle when traveling through the airport.

The big case for camera inside also leaves only about 1/3 of the bag to use but depends what else you need in there, different compartments can smartly help to put it away. The only thing I am always fighting a bit is bottle of water which either fits so so next to the camera case or just has to be laid on top of it (which makes me a bit nervous, so it doesnt spill).

Otherwise I am super happy with the bag - the weight feels spread around evenly on shoulders and looks super nice! :)

It is exactly what I needed. It fits my 16" Laptop easy and the bag is a sleek, minimalist design which is very appealing to me. Straps are nice and the bag feels sturdy and durable. Good space in the backpack. Used it for travelling, school, hiking and dont regret it.
