I own the Urban explorer for about 2 months now and i cant say that i am really overwhelmed with it. The build quality is what you should expect from a bag in this price range, so i wouldnt highlight this. Whats bothering me are three things: 1. The straps have a strong tendency to chafe on your shoulders if you are only wearing a t-shirt. 2. The outside material was a bad choice. Whenever you put the bag down on the ground or touch a wall with it, you get irremovable scuff marks immediately. My two 2mo bag looks like its 2 years old already. 3. Its less spacious than it could be. Proper padding is fine, but this is just too much for a day bag. The padding from the outside, the cage and the thick dividers use up way too much space. I can put less things in my 25L Shimoda than i had in my former 18 Liter backpack. I am lucky to have gotten this for 200 Euro "2nd" hand from someone who used it just for 1 hour and already had seen enough of this.
