I bought this backpack 6 weeks ago and the quality is definitely not as good as I expected. Already falling apart
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best backpack, in my opinion! Good in all regards. Can be small, and can be big.

My new work horse

I bought this bag because I travel a fair bit and also needed something to haul my belongings to the office as I was starting to max out the capacity of my everyday messenger bag. Tons of room and many pockets to keep your things organized which makes boarding a plane a breeze: easy access to the laptop/tablet sleeve and I carry a tech pouch in my hands for everything else I might need while flying. Just one minor thing: the coyote brown x-pac fabric has a slight sheen to it (I was expecting something more matte).
I would recommend this to a friend!

My companion for every occasion

This is one of the best backpack so far. I love sturdy material from outside as well as versatility of pockets inside. Cleverly made hidden waist strap and useful strap are making this backpack my companion for almost every occasion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just got this and am going on my trip soon. Love how everything adjusts and the ample amount of space that the pack has with a strap to put it on my suitcase

Best travel bag, but weight heavy

This one bag is all you need for a 3-4 day trip. It's incredibly durable but unfortunately, it's also quite heavy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My home for the past 5 years

I am a 35 years old nomad, and I've been a nomad since my childhood (thank you, mom and dad!). So you can imagine that I’ve gone through my fair share of travel gear. But five years ago, I made the switch to this backpack, and let me tell you: it changed the game!! This isn’t just a bag; it’s my life in carry-on form.
We’re talking everything: clothes, two laptops, cameras, wires, other electronics, toiletries, you name it... I even managed to attach a tripod and camping tent on the front face for a while. (Who even designs something that versatile? Genius!!!)
I am not the most careful person with my belongings, so backpack has seen it all. I’ve flown on airlines across every continent, and not once did it get issues using it as a carry-on. Okay, there was that one tiny plane where it wouldn’t fit in the overhead bin. But I found an easy solution: I pulled out my laptops, slid this backpack under the seat, and we were good to go. (Sure, the flight was cramped, but blame the plane, not the backpack 😂)
It’s not just about the space, though. This bag is comfy to carry for hours, perfectly balanced, with multiple carrying options and a sternum strap that’s somehow both lightweight and super durable. And yes, it’s heavier than my previous bags. But I can't complain, because it’s built to last. Five years of travel (and trust me, my trips are not gentle), and it still looks like I just bought it. No scratches, no tears, not much wear (you can see it in the pic, although the backpack was super dirty on one of those pics lol).
And I loooove the water resistance. This thing has survived downpours that left me drenched while my gear stayed dry. Mind you, I have my stuff inside plastic bags inside my backpack, just in case. But the last few times, nothing inside got wet anyway. I haven’t tested it recently, and I know that the water resistance may decrease over the years... but from my past experiences, it’s never let me down. (I’ll update this review if that ever changes)
If you’re on the fence because of the price, but you are looking for something to use for years, let me save you some time: just get it. After five years, I can’t imagine using another backpack. It’s my ultimate travel companion, and if ever it breaks, I would buy another one for sure.
I hope this helps someone!!!

Great Features and build

Overall I really like the backpack and all it's functionalities, particularly it's collapsible nature and straps to add extra gear on top.
A couple of things I would like to see evolve -
1. Although collapsible in width, I would appreciate it if the length could somehow be reduced with a collapsible section at the bottom of the backpack for instance. It still doesn't feel quite like a daypack in it collapsed form.
2. The back straps and waist belt are not the most comfortable when the bag is heavy. Maybe the back panel needs more work.
