The design is great. Two things are bothering me: 1) There is a severe lack of quick storage. I get the clean aesthetic but the sleeve for the luggage handle is just wasted space. I wish the top compartment just went all the way down or at least closed with a zipper. Don’t have any interest in putting a backpack into luggage personally.
The second thing is the sternum clasp is hard to use so I don’t use it much. Would prefer something more typical, I know buckles break but the hook is challenging.
Other than that it’s a beautiful bag, durable, lots of space.
Too heavy, not enough pockets on the outside. After I put a water bottle, 2 lens and a tripod. I don't have a space for clothing or even an extra water bottle for my friends. I usually also bring my own container for food but there is also very limited space for that.
I have this backpack in 3 colors and love them all. The special edition X-pac version from Huckberry is my favorite. Great straps and easy clamshell design combines with a no frills laptop sleeve and quick access pocket make this my “go to” bag most of the time.
Good backpack. Two downside. The laptop compartment could be easier accessible. And you can only use the storage inside of you take your packing cubes first always.
I bought this for my girlfriend after traveling in Europe for 2 weeks with the Everyday 45L backpack. I had a very great experience and have used my bag regularly for several years without any quality issues whatsoever. The travel variant fits the needs for her to travel with and use frequently when not traveling.
Bought last month specifically for a trip to Europe. Focus was for something to carry on and hold all my gear as well as 3 days of clothes. It handled that in spades. Very comfortable when trekking through airports or trekking through cities. The one improvement I would like to see is to be able to access the laptop/tablet compartment separately without having to unzip the main compartment
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for- something to take as a carry on for airplane travel. It perfectly combines all the best features of a piece of luggage with some great features of a backpack. It looks and feels great too. Love it!
