14 days in Ireland
on October 2, 2023
Posted by: doberdad
Just got back from 2 weeks in Ireland. This was the perfect bag for my SLR with an extra lens, the tech bag, a laptop, and a tablet. Weighed in at around 20lbs, but the straps/chest strap were perfect for distributing the weight. Absolutely recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Bag — with one flaw
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: Bagnerd94

There is something intangible and hard to explain about this bag. There’s a certain joy in using it, the style, the aesthetic, the simplicity. The zippers feel smooth and already broken in and the materials feel premium.
I’m 5’5 and so this bag is just a little bit too big. Not the greatest for EDC, but it’s awesome for minimal to medium sized travel. I also love how it comes with accessory straps to lash additional things to the back.
My biggest gripe with this bag is that there is no dedicated laptop compartment, and that it opens its clamshell from the back instead of the front, like most other bags. This means it’s hard to get items that are placed in the mesh pockets when the backpack is packed full.
There is also just one quick access pocket on this.
This would be a perfect bag for large EDC and minimal/medium travel for people over 5’5 if it had opposite clamshell opening and dedicated laptop pocket.
Otherwise it feels premium to use!

Just bought this backpack for our trip to Europe and surprised how much it can contain. Going through the airport was a breeze. We love all the features of this backpack.

Amazing Backpack!

Bought this after owning the 45L Travel Backpack for over 2 years. The 30L is amazing! Smaller, lighter, easier to travel with. Haven’t had any problems with it whatsoever ever. The build quality is top notch! They are the 2 best backpacks I’ve ever owned!

Excellent accessibility

Ops checked the bag on a one week trip to Colorado. Love the dividers in the main pocket, when used with the side zippers and either a bottom or top unzipping you can get to strategic items quickly. The external straps are convenient and stow quickly when not in use.

This Ruined All Other Bags For Me!!
on September 12, 2023
Posted by: Taylor
from South Dakota
I research things extensively, and when my husband and I decided to take an “around the world trip” for 3 months- I knew this was the bag I wanted to use. I got the 30L option in green and was not disappointed!! Without any break-in period it was comfortable on days walking 20,000 steps, resilient, functional and the expansion was perfect!! By the end of our trip my husbands backpack was trashed, currently mine still looks brand new. I will never buy another backpack brand again. Looking to add the everyday V2 30L to my collection soon!!!

Almost Perfect
on August 25, 2023
Posted by: Nighthawk
I purchased this bag for some upcoming travel and since I work remote, I always have my computer. But I also wanted a bag for everyday life. I love that this is expandable making it perfect for longer travel. Plus you can keep it smaller for everyday when you just need to take your work supplies to a local coffee shop. Or even back the bag for a day at the beach. So far i'm really impressed with the quality of everything. Stitching seems excellent, handles are sturdy, and lot's of organizational compartments.
My big complaints so far are: the water bottle/ side pockets are useless. They don't expand enough to hold a water bottle when the bag is packed. Giving it a little more stretch would be a HUGE upgrade. I also would like if there was a front mesh pocket. I feel like you always a random item you need quick access to but don't want to carry it. For me, a front mesh pocket would solve that.

Best Travel Bag
on August 19, 2023

from San Francisco, CA
I bought this bag 2 weeks ago and have already used it more than 4 times just because of my frequent flying. The bag packs so much and fits so nicely under the seat with enough leg room to stretch my legs all the way. Probably my most favorite purchase of the year.
