Great investment for one-bag travel!
on June 22, 2023
Posted by: Shea

I bought this a few months ahead of a two-week trip through France, and it’s fantastic. I used compression bags to stuff enough clothes for a week, a suit, toiletries, 2 pairs of shoes, and small electronics. The pack held up very well, and everything was accessible in multiple ways thanks to all of the zippers and cool features.
Because of all the pockets and zippers though, the pack does feel heavy. Backpackers may want to take note. For travelers like me who want a durable pack to avoid checking luggage, this is a great investment. This is my main travel pack going forward, and I can’t wait for many more trips with it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spacious Bag!

I haven't used the bag for travel yet but I'm excited for it! Plenty of space and options for managing everything in your bag is great. One thing I had noticed and am hoping will change as it wears in is the material is fairly stiff. My old bag is quite flexible and easy to open at the top whereas this bag is a bit difficult or uncomfortable to reach into from the top in the main compartment.

Excellent carry on bag

I've had this bag for six months, and I'm currently on my fifth trip with it. I really like the design, and the attention to detail -- the features on this bag simply work as designed, which is no small feat.
If I had to pick a favorite detail, it would be the included packing straps, which I have used for everything from lashing a raincoat to the top to strapping an entire second back to the bag. With all the attachment points, they are super useful and really easy to use.

Almost Perfect

Amazing features, great design. The only drawback is that its heavy! The backside of the bag is really heavy in comparison with the rest of the bag. Can easily shed 500 grams to become 5/5

We bought a travel backpack for my daughter, she loves it. Very good quality, comfortable on the back, perfect size for carry on luggage. We like it a lot and my husband and I will get 2 another same backpacks for ourselves.

The perfect bag for me.

Have only used this bag about 5 times so far and I love it. Great quality, great design. I really like how you can size it down or up depending on your travel needs. The only thing I would like to see is a touch more padding on the shoulder straps. I can start to feel them after wearing for a while through an airport or walking. This is only a minor detail for me being I love every other aspect of the bag.

tough and big

this bag is super tough and carries so much stuff. I packed clothes for an 8 day trip for myself in this bag, binoculars, computer, multiple chargers, water bottle, coffee mug, dop kit, and even fit my sons diaper bag. there are so many features and places to organize things that are well hidden and intuitive to use. i highly recommend this bag as a carryon alternative

I wish it had a flat bottom or side

from Vancouver, BC
Got this bag before travelling with carry-on luggage only to London. It was large enough for a two-week trip which included lots of walkabout and lunches at Michelin-starred restaurants (and the required formal attire).
The pros are well covered in other reviews. I liked the accessibility, the security, the secured pocket, the ease of organization and the perfect fit of packing cubes.
Things I wished for: a flat bottom. It is impossible to stand this on a train or bus without it falling over. I appreciate the many pockets for organization, but it adds to the base weight of this. If weight is an issue (as it was for me on a recent prop plane trip to Marble Canyon), having all the access zippers and many pockets adds a lot to the weight. I'm not sure the perfect balance has been achieved with this bag. For me, I would prefer fewer access points and pockets in exchange for a lighter-weight bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!
