  The review concerns the Era Medium backpack.

  The said backpack was purchased to serve as a "personal item" - alongside a carry-on luggage - based on the dimensions accepted by most low-cost and non-airlines. I think it is the perfect size for transporting and daily use of equipment on trips. In this regard, it is excellent.

  I don't think it's a backpack for a single day trip, nor will it replace the current one for this use.

  I can easily fit in the bottom:

  - Fujifilm X-T2 with XF 33mm f/1.4
  - Fujifilm X-T20 with handgrip and Sigma 16mm f/1.4
  - XF 56mm f/1.2
  - XF 18mm f/2.0
  - XF 10-24mm f/4.0
  - XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7

  and in the top, a mini tripod and a water bottle or something similar. Of course, there is no reason to load it so much, but it is indicative of what it can hold despite its very compact design. Also, although I cannot test it, I don't think it would fit bulky DSLRs or generally FF lenses like a 70-200mm f/2.8, but I don't think that's its purpose either.

  It has a rain cover which, of course, one can have permanently to prevent it from getting dirty and for anti-theft protection. The main reason I chose it, besides the dimensions, is that it doesn't open from the front, but from the back, and that it stands upright.

  Perhaps the job could have been done with something cheaper at around €20-30, but I think the difference is small enough not to buy something reliable like the Case Logic, and also this one fits better in the dimensions for the use I wanted. Time will tell how durable it ultimately is, but for now, it's great.
