Purchased for a 1-month trip to Europe to complement a medium-sized roller bag. Selection criteria were: 1. sophisticated looks without heavy branding, 2. maximum capacity within European air carrier carry-on dimensions, 3. ease of use atop a roller bag, 4. intelligent and flexible access and partitioning, and 5. quality construction and durability.
Simply put, this is an excellent product. It sits securely on top of a roller bag, works well as a backpack when needed, looks sophisticated without drawing attention, is thoughtfully designed, and is well built. My bag shows no signs of wear after daily use for 30 days.
The little things: — All grab handles are sturdy and comfortable. — The loop that secures the bag to a roller bag is strong and holds it firmly. — The system that stows and hides the backpack straps when not in use is innovative and works well. — Materials and zippers are excellent, each zipper with a sturdy, elegant pull. — The interior includes loops to secure items, reducing movement and making it harder for someone to slip a hand in and successfully grab valuables.
I travel frequently to Europe. I use planes, trains and automobiles. When I am with my Wife, I am her Sherpa as she has not mastered the art of minimalist packing. The versatility of this bag allows me to put it on my back and use my hands to assist with my Wife’s luggage. The bag has such a polished look, it will even fit in at a 5 star hotel. It’s perfect.
Purchased in 2022, used the bag approximately once or twice a year when I go on long trips. 1. One zip handle tore. 2. Silicon mesh pocket flaked very badly 3. Material covering/protecting the zip broke
I do not handle my bag roughly and when I travel I use this bag to supplement my large full size luggages. Read raving reviews about the bag and how some used it for years before I purchased it. The breakdown of materials started occurring less than 2 years during my once or twice yearly long trips.
Note: tried to attach photos to this review however unable to do so.
Amazing Backpack. Absolutely love the backpack and the company. The first one I bought was defective, and the support I received to replace it was nothing short of excellent. I am forever faithful to the products and the company.
