01 Price Even if I have enough money, I would probably buy something else. Customer in DNT
02 Comfortability The bag I have limits on the room for other equipment, so there is a downside. Another drawback is that it is very heavy Karine
3KG to 4KG
03 Stereotype Some professionals might need it, but I would probably buy it next time. Staff of Sportslager
