Like the look, feel, color, structure and features of the bag. If I had 2 suggestions it would be to make the expandable section be part of the larger section of the bag, instead of the front. Let the front be its own section all the time. The second would be to have the lap top sleeve be its own separate section as well. Access to the laptop without having to open the main compartment. Great bag otherwise.
The backpack is amazing. Sturdy, well built. It is a bit on the bulky side… I’m always scared when going to take an airplane… but no issue so far. It is also on the heavy side. But the functionality is amazing. The snap system for 30-35L does not work if the bag is packed though. Would have been much better with another zip.
You wont know the value of this bag until you get it. The storage is amazing and to access the storage pockets is so convenient so you never have to worry on where you will place items. It has different types of pockets such as washbag type pocket and then standard zip pockets. There are plenty of zips to secure your items and a main zip in the section to keep your items tidy organized.
I've been using this backpack for ~6 months now and, with one small exception, it has been fantastic. It has a very large main compartment that aligns well with the size of their packing cubes, which I also love. The zippers on the main compartment allow the back to be opened completely, supporting easier view-ability and access to your stuff. Outside the main compartment, there are plenty of additional storage/attachment options that cover all of my needs.
The only issue I've run into was the sewing on the velcro for the device compartment, which came unraveled after a month or two. I raised the issue to the company and they resolved it quickly and completely.
I spent way too much time researching the perfect travel pack but I made the perfect choice. The quality, features, pockets, and tuck away straps are all A+. I just got back from a month long trip in Costa Rica. I'm 5'4" and 120 pounds and it's so comfortable to carry around airports, etc (heavy of course but the hip belts are awesome). Love it!! Hoping we're wedded for life.
