Sturdy and comfortable would be the words that come to mind. The well padded strap made carrying it very easy despite now having only a single strap compared to a backpack with two. The strap is also super stable, and doesn&#8217;t slip off the shoulder thanks to the rubberised grip-strips on the strap pad. On the floor it is nice and stable in the upright position, and the double-zipped top flap makes for very easy access to the main compartment, just make sure you put the most needed items near the front of the compartment.<br \/>\nThe well made handles also add to the sturdy feel of the bag and when carrying with the handles they feel very strong. I keep a 10&#8243; tablet in the laptop section rather than a laptop, and this only needs one side of the padded section, easily accessible with the twin zip.<br \/>\nWith all the compartments using zip closures, noise levels are low when getting bits and pieces out, although when carrying it is prone to a bit of strap buckle squeaking from the swivels.<br \/>\nA strong start to the face-off series.<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 2 &#8211; The Hazard 4 Ditch Bail Out Bag:<\/b><br \/>\nHazard 4, oh Hazard 4, I do like Hazard 4 quality, so wanted this to be my favourite. I always try not to allow any bias into my assessment of gear, so had to have strong words with myself on how I was going to view this one.<br \/>\nOf the three, the Hazard 4 was the only one not to come with a shoulder strap. I understand why, but actually don&#8217;t think it is right that it doesn&#8217;t, considering the price point. There isn&#8217;t much choice in matching shoulder straps, really only two, the one on test, and a version with additional stabilisation strap that clips onto another loop on the bag. As a separate item, the strap is however of a quality that justifies it being an item itself, and not something made to fit within the overall pricing.<br \/>\nThe use of a different fabric on the bottom that is waterproof and wipeable is a great touch and gives the impression this bag will definitely go on and on. <\/p>\n<p>On swap-over day; laying out everything ready to move it over.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-04-HT-with-contents-IMG_20210219_143340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-04-HT-with-contents-IMG_20210219_143340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-04-HT-with-contents-IMG_20210219_143340-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Slightly surprisingly, it was a bit more of a challenge to fit everything in, with the bag developing a bulge on the admin panel side. This, combined with the padded laptop compartment on the opposite side being quite rigid and stiff, gave the bag an imbalance and it seems to want to topple over rather than sit upright. This tendency continued throughout the fortnight it was in the EDC rotation, and was somewhat annoying. It was as if the laptop section was a bit too big for the side of the bag, which also impacts on the carrying capacity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-05-HT-IMG_20210219_144501.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"604\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-05-HT-IMG_20210219_144501.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-05-HT-IMG_20210219_144501-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-05-HT-IMG_20210219_144501-768x580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-05-HT-IMG_20210219_144501-600x453.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Reliability was never in question, and the strap made it comfortable to carry. Both because the contents seemed to fill it more, and the lack of capacity to take any top-up EDC items, made it appear smaller than the First Tactical bag. This was also noticeable while carrying it; I did not knock into door frames or walls with it (as much), so carry was easier, and more streamlined.<br \/>\nWith the admin panel being the whole side, instead of a couple of smaller pockets, it was not as easy or convenient taking out a few bits a pieces. It would be more suited to a kit of items where you need to see them all at once to pick the one you want.<br \/>\nThe main compartment however was very usable, with the internal end pockets, pockets on one side and a versatile webbing panel on the other. Access is quick and easy with the lightweight double-zip flap top.<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 3 &#8211; The Condor Metropolis Briefcase:<\/b><br \/>\nAnd the transfer day for the last bag in this series after two weeks with the Hazard 4 &#8211; the Condor Metropolis Briefcase.

By this stage I was finding that it is quite a challenge to keep reorganising gear you use all the time after having just got more or less used to where it was in the previous bag. The different pouches, pockets, sections make you rethink where things need to go.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-08-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_165649.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-08-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_165649.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-08-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_165649-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Condor had no issues accommodating everything without bulges or struggling at all and it is sits upright happily on the floor. The sharp eyed might have spotted in the bag contents there is a large admin pouch in coyote, and this is a Condor too.<br \/>\nIn this bag, more Velcro closures are used than the previous two. When in the workplace, ripping these open does make quite a bit of noise and attracts attention. Velcro also has the tendency that once you take one thing out, if the flap falls closed by itself, you then have to rip it open yet again to get item two out. One of the front pockets does have a zip for part of its compartment, but then Velcro for the other part, and the second front pocket is fully Velcro.<br \/>\nAccess to the main compartment in this bag is via a single zip requiring you to &#8216;dig&#8217; a bit more to find things as the compartment is not as openly presented as those with a double-zip flap opening.<br \/>\nThe main compartment having only two mesh pockets is simple in structure. Mesh pockets don&#8217;t provide much protection for what is in them, or what is on the main compartment, but the mesh does mean it is really easy to see what is in which pocket without a rummage. It really depends on what you carry for how well they suit your needs. In my case I have several items that partially poke through the mesh if I&#8217;m not careful.<br \/>\nFor the first time in this series, I noticed some discomfort with the shoulder strap, but remember I do have this loaded up and the pouches I carry contain many tools, so can be pushing 10kg. With a slightly lighter load this would not be an issue.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-09-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_170554.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-09-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_170554.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-09-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_170554-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-09-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_170554-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EB-using-09-HT-to-CD-IMG_20210224_170554-600x420.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>And I was wrong:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After using all three bags, I was convinced that there was a big difference in their empty weight.
