Lanx Lanx I just got these Chinese medicine (not the Gillette disposables, though they probably come from China too). Is my dick going to fall off?

My LTT backpack finally arrived. Initial impression is that it is a waste of money and to just get a Swiss Gear for 50% less. Apparently they sent my the LTT suitcase instead because this thing has no organization. It's a glorified canvas grocery bag with shoulder straps. I probably carry a bit more in terms of cables than most do (10'+ HDMI, Ethernet, and USB C) as well as a 300w laptop power brick, power bank with the relevant cable types, mouse, and wired earbuds, but there are no pockets/areas to place anything except the big open dump pouch. The build and material quality might be above a Swiss Gear backpack, but it is 2-2.5x the price and doesn't have the organization potential.

edit: My current Swiss Gear backpack.

Conversely I just got my Vertx Transit 2.0 and so far love it. It isn't nearly what you'd use for the purpose of comparing it to the LTT Pack, but so far it is great for my needs.

It fits my Eluktronics 15" along with note taking material, pens, power bank for a phone. Then in the front pocket I can put additional things like a microlight, trauma shears, probably not a whole first aid kit. The back pocket fits my CZ 75 comfortably with a spare magazine and also a Level III plate.

The quality feels great. Zippers are smooth. Everything has a tuck away spot if not in use. Wanted it because the Eberlestock Switchblade was too big for normal trips to the park or quick business outings.
