Fantastic quality sleek backpack

First off I did a lot of research and watching/reading reviews to finally choose this bag. It was initially more than I was thinking to spend, but it fit my needs and the guarantee helps.
The quality is evident. Everything feels really well made.
The expanded too, you feel confident it won't break after a few times. The zip seam come together to form a nice seal.
Overall the bag looks great too, a seek minimalist design.

Theres a few things I wish were different:
- shoulder straps to have more padding. I knew beforehand, but it would improve the comfort. I'd forgo the possibility to tuck in the straps for more comfort.
- the magnet section on the bottom of the front - limited usage cases IMO. The magnets seem good, but I don't feel confident to use it for anything in case it falls out.
- because of the above the front pocket is limited in space. If rather this space just be deeper.
- a passport pocket at the back would be useful.

Very structured

I've only taken this on short road trips so far, but I'm excited to fly with it. I love the outer water bottle pouch, which fits a tall hydro flask. I like that this pack is structured and holds its shape. I don't have the packing cubes, but I can imagine they'd work very well with this pack. I wish the admin pocket was a little deeper, and I don't love how heavy the pack is on its own. Those would be my only small complaints. Otherwise a great piece of travel equipment.

Incredible quality

I bought this bag over a year ago now and it has impressed me every time I use it. The features are intuitive and very helpful for traveling, the build is durable, stylish, and rugged, and the bag holds everything you need and more. The multiple handles on the bag make it easy to carry from any position, and the size is perfect as a carry on. Everything about the bag is well made, and the thought that went into creating it is easily seen.

Hard to tell how it will hold up but so far the backpack seems good quality. I wish the front quick access pocket was deeper and the luggage pass was horizontal not vertical

Very nice bag but…

I’m very glad I bought this; have used it a couple of times and am very impressed. But the computer sleeve should be snapped or zippered into place so it can be removed. Not everyone wants to take a heavy piece of electronics on a trip. I plan to cut the sleeve out of my bag (shame to have to do that to such an expensive item) because I could use the extra space. Yes, there is at least another 1.5 inches of packing room to be gained by removing the sleeve.

Well made but ......

I bought this to see if I could do without my wheel on small suitcase. Sadly for me it has some design deficiency's. Biggest problem is no front opening zip pocket for easy access to travel documents when on the move. Inside the zip up side pouches are too small for small items like boxes of medicines to safely stow them into. A combination of the toiletries and small photo cube take up over half the space of the 30 litre leaving just enough for limited overnight wear. The side water bottle pockets are very tight even for a small plastic bottle of water. That said its well made and quite comfortable to wear with a 9kg load on board.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easily the best backpack ever

I have been known to over-optimize my bags, buying a new one just to seek out that one extra optimization, but this bag is amazing and has been my everyday bag since I got it.

Almost Great

I love the backpack and all the features I just wish the straps had a bit more padding.
They started digging into my shoulders and got a bit uncomfortable when the backpack was heavy and full.
