Great backpack, plenty of room without being overpowering. I put 4 pair of pants, 5 sweaters, and a toiletry bag in there and it fit comfortably (without packing cubes). I probably could’ve stuffed a couple more things in there to max it out. I was able to sling it over my shoulder and it was comfortable enough to move around with. For me this could easily accommodate a 4 day trip along with electronics in the padded pockets. Documents can also be put in the padded pockets. The top pocket fit my wallet, passport, keys and AirPods comfortably. This bag is my new favorite travel companion! Worth every penny for what you get in return. Material is durable and sturdy, padding is comfortable and breathable. This bag can probably be used as an everyday backpack for work since the compression straps/clips make it smaller without clothing inside. This is ideal for a one or two day business trip! Read more
Comfort: it's okay, not the best. The back padding is a little thin and the straps aren't the best. If you put your laptop and tech gear in a little sloppily, you'll feel it on your back. Laptop/tech space: Good enough. Large pouches good to hold 2 laptops/tablets. Has one bag area for putting smaller things, but I wouldn't mind another pouch/bag or two in the tech area. Outer space: The outer space is decent and expands to a good size. Easily enough room for me to pack a few days of clothes. I like how you can access this space from the outside or from the tech side. Function: The full unfolding feature is great! You can open up the backpack like a clamshell and have full easy access to everything in the bag. I also like the "security" pocket that isn't easily pick pocketable. One downer is the bag doesn't stand up on its own. Even when fully packed and expanded it want to rollover on its back. Price: Good deal. I was looking at bags twice this price and couldn't quite find all the feature I wanted. This came pretty close and it wasn't an arm and a leg. Read more
I’m totally a bag lady. I’m a huge backpack fan and have many ranging from Nixon, Northface, Nike, Army Issued and more. This bag is awesome. At $75 it is well priced for the quality. Material is strong and durable, ample space for 3-5 days worth of clothes, zippers are smooth and has a convenient front side zipper pocket and water bottle pocket. I would definitely recommend this bag for its quality, price and versatility. Read more
EXCELLENT Bag that for US airlines can work as a personal carry on item. The ability to pack a significant amount into it is awesome as well as having 2 water bottle holders and two quick access zipper pockets on the outside to grab items quickly as you go through security area or when boarding and wanting to get things such as passport, wallet, headphones. One item they can improve on for sure is to make the zipper for the upper compartment be the same zipper tabs as the laptop compartment - which have a passthrough for a lock. You can't properly secure the entire bag as access via upper compartment that doesn't have the same zipper tabs allows access to laptop compartment internally via the internal zippers inside. Minor quibble as you can still pass a wire type lock through the zipper tab but it isn't as tightly keeping the zipper tabs together. Read more
I recently traveled from the Big Island of Hawaii to Sedona, and since I didn’t want to check in any luggage, I decided to travel with just my carry-on suitcase and this backpack that I ordered. In conclusion, I really like this backpack. When packing, it opens wide like a duffel bag, which made it easy to organize my things. There’s another compartment where I could safely store my laptop. I was able to fit quite a lot of clothes inside. It got heavy when fully packed, but once I fastened the chest strap, it felt much more comfortable to carry. The size was perfect for a carry-on and fit easily under the seat in front of me, so I didn’t even need to use the overhead bin. After getting off the plane, I could slide the backpack over the handle of my carry-on suitcase using the pass-through strap, which was really convenient. It also has a side handle, so I could carry it like a duffel bag if I wanted. In Sedona, I used it for hiking—it was great for carrying my camera, jacket, snacks, and lunch. I thought it might be a little big at first, but the external buckles and straps allowed me to adjust the size and make it more compact. I’m really glad I bought this backpack. I chose the black one, and I love the design—it looks really stylish. Next year, I plan to travel to California, and I’ll definitely bring this backpack again along with my carry-on suitcase. I don’t want to pay extra to check in luggage anymore! Read more
