I bought this few weeks ago in anticipation for japan holiday, I was blown away with the design and practicality of the bag, it has pleanty of compartment and also the strap design is ingenius.
It truly exceeded my expectations and is by far the best backpack I have ever owned. The flexibility and comfort it provides are exceptional. While the price may be on the higher end, I believe it is completely justified by the quality and functionality of the product. Thank you for creating such an outstanding backpack that truly delivers on its promises.
Overall product is great. The only gripes I have, is that the shoulder padding when using as a back pack is very thin, thus my shoulder hurts from the straps dig in. Need a better design shoulder pads (hint.. The North Face) and adding shoulder straps adjustments would be really great. These two addition will make the backpack comfortable to carry for a long walk in Europe.
I love this travel backpack. Last summer I spent 30 days backpacking Europe so traveling as light as possible was important to me. This was the only bag I took on that trip. While other people on my trip took wheeled carry-ons and massive checked bags that they then tried to wheel down the cobblestone streets of European cities, I had none of those issues whatsoever with my lone travel backpack. I used the medium + small packing cube configuration which worked well, and I was also able to fit my tech pouch and toiletry bag by removing the organization divider. When you’re backpacking, traveling around often, and staying in hostels this is a fantastic setup. One bag is the way to go. Since last summer I have also taken the bag on shorter trips within the US and it obviously works great for that as well. I’m looking forward to this Summer when I will be taking it to the UK for another longer 17 day trip! Thanks PD!
I really like how you can access the main compartment multiple ways, so you don't have to dig through your backpack from the top to find your items. The front compartment also have 4 internal zipped compartments to help you stay organized.
The 45L backpack is the best designed pack I’ve ever traveled with. Especially with the pack cubes! It keeps it all organized and is especially good at being able to find things quickly. Just an amazing design.
