Great idea, thank you. I’ll get to work on an update but quickly answer your question – yes I have a newer version with the straps/handle and while the bag is great for local work if I need more than one camera with me plus a computer when it comes to long distance trips it isn’t great. That definitely depends on your body type though, I have a friend who is a petite 5’4 woman who swears by this backpack, but I’m taller with wide chest and shoulders and it’s pretty uncomfortable on a long day between airports, trains, etc. The chest strap is too high and not adjustable up and down so it actually almost sits in my throat and the bag isn’t long enough to be properly balanced vertically on my back. Also without a hip belt, if you’ve got a heavy load of gear it fatigues the back quickly. I’ll elaborate more in a proper post but I hope this helps.

Their website has a section listing all their authorized dealers but I don’t see anyone listed in the USA unfortunately. Their products are available to order online however.
