The optional EXT302 waistbelt is very well made and design. I tested it with 30 pounds worth of weights in the bag and the handle did hold up fine. Some have questioned whether this design will hold under load. However, I see no reason to use this design for the top handle. ORBITGear uses this design to attach handles to a lot of their bags, and this results in a very easy way to attach and detach a strap. Instead is is folded and inserted through a webbing loop, with the folded portion forming a stopper. One end of the strap is not sewn into the bag. The top handle of the R102 has an unusual design. There is also an adjustable sternum strap with a magnetic buckle. The straps have load lifters to allow for fine tuning on how the bag carries on ones back.
It’s beefy and comfortable, but I personally find that the wider straps sometimes hits the sides of my upper arms. The should straps are wide and curved, which distributes the load very well across the shoulders. The bottom part of the back has a separate vertical passthrough for a rolling luggage handle, as well as a separate horizontal passthrough for their new EXT203 waist belt. The back panel system is updated for these 2021 version of their packs. The straps and back panel are padded with a 3D mesh surface. The tapped seam behind the zipper can sometimes get in the way. I find that I have difficulty sometimes getting that main zipper closed. The main compartment uses the large Vislon zipper that you will find in other bags in the ADV series. The rear laptop compartment has a single pull weatherproof zipper opening. This angled bottom, while making the bag slightly harder to stand up on its own, gives the bag a more distinguish look and lets the weight of the contents hit your hips just right. Once scuffed and worn it may just add a bit of character. I could worry about wear and tear on the leather bottom, but it feels like there is a very thick layer of material there at the bottom. The added leather accent on the bottom gives this bag a unique look. This version uses a mix of XPAC and genuine leather on the outside, with a 210D liner on the inside. The build of this specific pack is superb. ORBITGear is a small brand and their quality control is top notch. This is a versatile backpack, part of their ADV21.1 collection. They have a very extensive product line, and this R102 clamshell backpack is a direct update from their original model introduced in 2017. ORBITGear is an Indonesia based bags and apparel company well known in the tech wear industry.
