Compact and holds everything I need
on March 3, 2020

This is a well designed backpack. I like the quick access features. Plus it doesn't feel bulky on my petite 5'2 frame. My one request is that there is an option to have the side access zippers, water bottle holder, and safe pocket on the other side. Ask the customer do you carry the bag on your right shoulder for quick access with your left hand and vice versa. I use public transit to commute and it will take some getting used to, to keep the bag on my left shoulder in order to get my wallet and/or phone.

Been using the Subterra 25L backpack for a couple weeks, and I love it.
Lots of features: fully expandable, easy access laptop zipper, lots of different pockets for clean organization, crush proof pouch is great for sunglasses and other vulnerable items. The full length inside zipper lets you easily access anything way at the bottom of the bag (all backpacks should have this). The top folding flap is adjustable so you can make the bag super compact or fully loaded. Material looks and feels high quality. Overall, the backpack is modern, stylish, comfortable and completely adaptable to whatever you need it for.
Minor downsides: two front buckles can be tedious to open and close repeatedly. The chest cross-strap could be longer for those with a wider chest.
I would recommend this to a friend!

8 years and still going strong

I purchased this pack in 2014 and it has been my main work and travel bag since. It's built like a tank and perfectly designed. I can't believe they still sell this pack exactly as it was that long ago... actually, I guess I can believe it.
About the only part of the bag that's starting to come apart is the bottle holder. Yet it still functions, just looks beaten.
Love this pack. I'd buy it again. The only difference is after all these years it costs twice as much!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I won this bag about 8 years ago and debating whether to find a different bag or continue using this one. A few improvements would make this even better. A strap on the bag to slide onto your carryon handle. More carabiner loops. Color options. The sunglass “pocket” zipper is still stubborn.
I use this bag strictly for traveling with my laptop, purse items and a few items of clothing and/or pair of shoes. I can stuff it pretty full.

Sevens Years Strong

I've used this bag nearly everyday for the past seven years and it is just now getting broken in.
It has been my go-to daily bag since getting it in college. Hauling laptop and books to classes, messenger bag for day-long cycling adventures around the city, personal-item airport travel bag, road trip "essentials" bag, and a daily bag for commuting to-and-from work. I've used the bag in so many ways without any issues with zippers, material/fabric, velcro, buckles or straps. It's remarkable that the bag is just now beginning to look like it has been well loved.
I'm a sucker for purchasing new bags for my gear closet, but this one is so versatile and such a great UX I can't come to terms to replace it as my daily bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE this backpack!

By far one of the best backpacks I've had. I'm big on functionality and utility and this pack has a place for everything! The side access pockets are great for getting in & out of your bag quickly. The front pocket is big enough for a large women's wallet. The straps are wide and comfortable. I work out of my bag and this bag is like taking a well organized desk with you!

Many pockets for storing and protecting gadgets while traveling. Easy laptop access from the back is great at airport security, and the side pocket holds a water bottle perfectly.

Use this pack everyday

If you want a bomber backpack that looks safari cool without trying this is the one! I get so many compliments on this pack. I love rolling up a blanket and strapping it in the overhead flap. It is perfect for your every adventure and I have now had a pair of sunglasses for over a month that I have not broken. Love it!
