For the most part, this is a well made pack that will work great for most people. I hoped to replace my old style Ogio Prospect (1104794) with a heavier duty exterior. I travel extensively in live entertainment and use of a backpack to carry an array of things is an every day need. Outer materials and zippers are nice and will withstand abuse. Grab handle on top is not heavy duty and should be, but hopefully it proves me wrong. The grab handle is also attached tightly against the top of the eyeglass hard case, so the top of the eyeglass case partially opens, giving limited access. The first zipper compartment has mesh pockets which ripped apart in no time. Second compartment only has one divider pocket and main compartment has none. Definitely, disappointed there are no extra pockets, much less, tie downs, loops, etc, in the main compartment, to at least separate smaller items. The only key loop/holder is in one of the side pockets. Water bottle holder, will handle a small water bottle, but a larger bottle of any size slips and falls out. Tech pockets is good and easily accessible. In order to make this a working pack, I'm stitching/adding some loops and velcro strips, so you can hang and attach various things within the main and second pockets, verses just throwing everything in like a duffle and having to dig through it to find something. Again, this seems to be a pack that can handle wear and tear on the outside and will work very well for most people. Needs more cubby holes to be a great working pack.
I am very picky about backpacks. They need to have just the right amount of pockets, placed correctly. They have to have enough space, but not be too big. They need to be comfortable to wear. They need to look nice.
This backpack fits all of these needs. I've been very pleased by my purchase.
My only quibble would be to have 1-2 more zippered pouches on the outside organizer pocket. Apart from that, it's just about perfect.
I am very happy with this backpack. I have owned it about a month now. Whether I am going to the office across town, traveling around the region, or traveling cross-country, this backpack has all the features I need. My only concern at all is the size is slightly larger than what I have been accustomed to in the past. That said, it has all the necessary space for everything I need or want to have with me on the go. AND...it is unbelievably light feeling when I wear it on my back. There are just a couple of key pressure points. I am someone who suffers back and neck pain at times. There is absolutely no strain or stress placed on my back, neck or shoulders by this backpack. While it is gentle on me, the backpack itself is constructed sturdy and tough.
Im 6 4 and muscular build and the chest straps are too small. Bag is super tight. Never had this issue with other backpacks (swiss gear) otherwise great quality bag.
This is hands down the best bag for travel. I can put my gaming laptop, iPad Pro, switch, headphone over the ear, AirPods, hard drive, DAC, cabling, notebook, vape, meds and everything else in one bag. This is my second bag due to me being to far away for warranty on the first. Both have been worth every penny!
