One of the best backpacks ever
One of my favorite backpacks I’ve ever used. Quality and straps and comfort are great. Main downsides: - I wish this came in other colors like the Thule Chasm 26L - I wish this came with zipper pulls, also like the Thule Chasm 26L. But I bought some third party ones and put them on, so, easy fix there. - I wish there were daisychain loops on the front like Chasm 26L to clip my water bottle so it doesn’t fall out of either side. I clipped the carabiner to the side handle on the proper water bottle side, which has mild efficacy, so that’s mostly fine. - I wish the tablet holder in front of the laptop sleeve was a little wider because I use that for paper and folders and it won’t really fit those Main upsides: - Everything else. - Contrast color to see the contents inside, side water bottle pocket/misc pocket, 2-3 quick access pockets that I use all the time - overall shape and proportions - handles all over, the bottom front one I actually use a lot more than I thought - the hard shell protective area is ok, I think it’s a bit lumpy for the space, doesn’t fit seamlessly all the time but I still use it and like it and you can just discard it if you don’t like it. I would probably have preferred it built-in or sewn-in and not removable. - I got this on sale around $120 USD and I think it’s a great value and I’ll probably keep this for the rest of my life Read more
