I bought this travel backpack a month or I had it overseas and it was perfect on both the airplane and at my destination. There are multiple storage compartments and so many access panels allowing access from different directions. You never need to dig through your items to get to the item you’re looking for. It was amazing how much I could fit in here and still get the backpack under the seat in front of me during takeoff and landing.
Ordered it during Thanks Giving. Today first time used it for my trip back to home town. Can hold all my belongings for my 21 days hotel quarantine with 2 laptops as well.
The only down side is the strips may not too easy to hide when the backpack is fully loaded.
I took this on my first long duration trip. It's super sturdy and comfortable to wear. The carefully designed compartments have easy access. The cost may seem high but considering this will be my backpack forever, it's very reasonable.
I have waited so long to purchase this backpack. I have purchases this in thanks giving deal and I really loved it. I have recommended all my friends as well.
This backup solved my problems of how to get camera gear, computer and clothes in a compact and smart form factor. There simply was no other backpack out there that was designed so well - and I've really been through countless websites to find my backpack. Now I'm about to go on a world trip with this bag uploading to YouTube as often as I can. Your bag will definitely at some point be highlighted: https://youtube.com/thomaskjems And it already is, check the photo.
I'm trying my hardest to think about anything bad to write - maybe I'll have something for you when I use it every single day for the next 1,5 years or more. I'll give you a heads up. For now, thanks for creating such a great product - I know I paid for it but you still designed it. So thanks for that.
Love the design and number of handy pockets/handle

Great backpack - with plenty of room for a weekend trip or for an addition to a rolling suitcase - and lots of nifty pockets for things like laptops, electronics, passport/documents, etc. Only downside so far, is it's a little heavy and can be a little large for an overhead compartment at times - but not a huge issue. I personally wouldn't use this as my only bag but that was never my intention
I got this off their Kickstarter project and I'm so glad I did. There are so many great features that I find useful that I won't go into them here (plenty of YouTubers will show you).
I've used this on numerous trips for one-bag travel and this does the job very well. It has plenty of pockets for all your needs and then some. The fact that it can be reduced (slightly) in volume AND expanded is a great little feature for when you've arrived at the hotel, taken everything out, and then can use it as a day bag.
The only knock against it is that it can get a bit heavy if I'm out for 10-12 hour days (I realize it's because it's so well-made, so you can't really have something built this solidly and be super lightweight; I get that). The shoulder straps are probably made thin so that it can slide into the back panel to be hidden away, which is a super cool feature...but I do wish they were more thickly padded because by the end of the day out in the city, the shoulders start to get sore. I think if I were given the choice between more comfortable, more padded straps or the hideaway feature, I'd choose the former. But this is my only gripe in an otherwise very well-thought out bag full of really cool features.
I love it and have recommended it to friends. It's not cheap...but you get what you pay for AND the lifetime warranty makes it a little easier to part with the cash because I know I'll be able to use this for a very long time...so it's sort of an investment in a way because you're paying more for quality and longevity.
