bought one of these thinking it would be about the same as the old citizens despite having different pockets, but it's really not. probably gonna end up returning it and buying a used one. the magnetic pockets are a pain to get into and kinda useless for organization, and the laptop pocket takes up a huge amount of space and weight (and it's a mess bag, why does it need a laptop pocket?)

the liner isn't removable anymore, which is probably the worst part for me. not sure how they're justifying calling the new ones more functional when they've taken away so much functionality by doing this. or how the organization game is next level. they went from like 10 pockets to 4.

not a big fan of how the strap sits on my shoulder due to it being swappable, but that's minor.

still seems super well built, though. if you actually want all the things they've changed then i'm sure it's a great bag. swappable buckle's cool too; i'm a little sad i won't get to have that if i get a used bag.
