Hello all
For my birthday last year I bought myself a frost river isle royale jr.
I'm a keen photographer and enjoy travelling, but found camera bags to not offer enough non-camera storage. I wanted a simple bag that I could modify the inside to suite my needs. I did this by getting a removable camera bag insert to go inside the isle royale. When I'm doing photography I have padding for the camera, and when I'm hiking or walking into town I can take that out and use the bag for other stuff.
One thing I wasn't keen on though was how despite being relatively expandable, the top opening wasn't too secure. As a result I had a tailor stitch a drawer string closure into the top. It's amazing how much stuff I can now cram into the bag.
My question is, those flappy bits on the side, I assume they are meant so that if you overfill the bag you can use those to protect the contents from water etc? Or have I got it completely wrong? If my assumption is correct, I'm not sure why frost river hadn't thought of the drawer string option, as it seems much more effective than two small flaps?
