(According to Amazon, I bought that thing in summer of 2018, coming up on four years ago, which means that it and the Peak Design Messenger Bag have been my constant travel kit since then. I went through three different travel setups between 2015 and 2018, and have used the same one since then. Camera bags are kinda like holsters that way...)
