Improve the belt and strap for 5 stars.

Great materials, love all the pockets but very much let down by waist belt and chest strap just not up to snuff when the pack is full.
Recently moved internationally with this travel pack filled with a small and a smedium PD cube with all my camera gear and all the things that go along with it. Like HDs, chargers, etc. Ill just say that the idea of the waist straps are better than the reality. The waist belt does not do a good enough job to support the weight of a full pack and the chest strap is more for show than anything else as well.
I bike around town a lot and use this to run some errands when i am just out and about and again when it has a fair amount of things in it it just does not feel that comfortable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lacks some essential features of other bags

I bought this 45L coyote travel backpack and I'm disappointed with the material. In the photos, it looked more like a military tan. Instead, it's golden tan and reflects light because it's shiny.
It's a good size, and the fact that it can be converted to a 30L is great. The zippers are still good quality. The interior of the bag and the pockets are top-notch.
However, I also own a 30L every day backpack, and I think they've removed some cool features. For example, there are no magnets for the side pockets (for a tripod or water bottle) or for the laptop/iPad (it has Velcro and diminishes the quality of the product). There are none on the shoulder straps. Therefore, the shoulder straps are loose and don't look as clean. Additionally, there are no interior side pockets, which could be very useful for storing small items.
So, it would be wise to add these useful features, which are already present on your other bags, to a V2 to ensure that your bags remain a renowned and high-quality brand.

Great travel pack with clever details

I bought this backpack about a month ago and took it on a week-long trip and used it for my commute to work along with additional gym clothes. It’s lightweight but sturdy, easily fits my 13" Macbook and iPad Pro and offers lots of room for clothes, camera gear. I especially chose it for the clamshell design that makes packing und unpacking a lot easier. My expectations were fully met and so far I could not find anything that really bugs me. The top compartment for smaller items is easy to access and fits chargers, AirPods, a wallet and sunglasses. What I do not quite get is the magnetic bottom pocket where I would never put in something besides the additional straps (which I did not use yet). I would not trust it to keep things safely stored when e.g. I’m on a bumpy bike ride. Anyway, great backpack which will hopefully stay with me for a long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can’t imagine a better travel backpack

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.

Almost Perfect

The only minor thing would be the poppers to make it smaller frequently pop open when putting things in it. Other than that it’s perfect

Great option to replace your carry on. I like this backpack a lot. Plenty of space. Can be setup for 30L or 45L.

Excellent backpack for traveling. Suitable for both long and short trips. It is best to use with compression bags. The material is excellent.
