I purchased this because it was time to upgrade my everyday carry bag. I need something for my 9-5 gear as well as a small camera setup. This bag nails it. I can fit everything I need and more.
2 suggestions for the next version. Make the laptop and tablet pockets more loose. When the bag is stuffed, it’s a little difficult to get my laptop and tablet out.
Also, I think a 23-25L would be absolutely perfect.
Love this backpack so much. The security zippers are a game changer for travel. Ended up being able to fit more than expected inside (including my 14" Macbook Pro) and get tons of compliments everywhere. The bone color is prone to stains, but that's to be expected. Even considering that, it's held up really well on 6 flights thus far!
This pack replaced my NutSac computer bag and my gym duffel bag into a sleek, comfortable EDC bag for any occasion. It’s come with me to Costa Rica, hiking, the gym, and every day to the office. With the organizers, it’s seriously tough to beat. The modularity is unlike most bags in its weight class. The one glaring con is that the material on the bag’s straps began pilling/fraying almost immediately. Not only is this frustrating, but it makes the bag look cheap and rough when it truly is not. If this were remedied, it would be an easy five stars. Also, another small nitpick is the water bottle pockets are a bit narrow.
I travelled 6 countries on one trip using this bag and used it daily to carry all my essentials on daily trips exploring the different cities. It also fits perfectly under the plane seat and leaves some space for your feet. Using a tech pouch will help as the pockets are too small for some items. Bag also feels very safe even in crowded areas due to locking mechanism.
I bought the backpack about six months ago and could not been happier. I like the way it opens where I can arrange items in it like a suitcase. It’s convenient that it can be expanded to add more stuff in it. I use it every weekend carrying cloths for a couple of days and still have room to add cycling clothing as well. When using cubes for longer trips it can store way more items. Plenty of useful storage for smaller items as well. It’s sturdy and elegant. I love it!
