Review: Greenroom136 Metrodrifter

Greenroom136 is a handmade pack company out of Malaysia. I first found out about them on the MicroFour Thirds camera forum where they were highly recommended. I started out my addiction by purchasing a medium Bootstrap  about 4 years ago to use for my daily laptop/work bag. I was beyond impressed. A few years later I got one of their Metromongers for carrying my camera for non outdoorsy activities. I really liked it, but you know, bag addiction… I saw a picture of their Metrodrifter and had to buy it, it is styled after a courier bag and a little lower profile than the Metromonger. I have to say it is great. I carry my M4/3rds kit of Olympus Pen-F with 3 lenses in it and find myself bringing the camera along when I would have  left at home before.

One of the first things you notice is just how amazingly well made Greenroom136 bags are. Then you open it up and the layout is really well thought out. Using the bag you know they use these bags as well as design them. Your gear is protected by a large rain collar which keeps out dirt and keeps your gear in.

The main compartment has a sleeve for a tablet or notepad, then two pockets which I use for storing a battery and the Olympus 9mm BCL. You never know when you need a fisheye 🙂  There are two pockets on the side for phones, etc. 
On the outside there is another pocket where I keep my keys and iPhone. 

I go between using a small Greenroom KitPouch for my camera and a smaller padded bag depending on how much other stuff I want to share space in the bag. 
Also this might have the best strap pad of any bag I’ve owned.

So get yourself one if you want an EDC or camera bag. I love this thing!
