Made Euro Travel a breeze

I recently returned from an 8 Day trip to Europe. I was highly satisfied with the Travel Backpack my onebag for the trip . The back has many carry options, with multiple handle locations and stow-able straps. I found that the Bag fir just fine underneath the seat all Aircraft that a flew on (Embraer 195, 175; Boeing 737-800,; Airbus A330, A321).
I used Eagle Creek packing cubes with this bag as well. (1) Med. Pack-It Garment Folder Packing Organizer and (2) Pack-It Garment Folder Packing Organizer. I did not have a Laptop on this trip. Simply used my mobile for all my internet needs.
I really feel that this bag played a big part in the success of the trip. being able to get right of the plane or train and onto local mass transit, was liberating for sure.
I think that 8 Days may be on the limit for this Bag, however, it really did an impressive job!
Took this on a 9 day trip as my carry on for one bag travel. Easily fit all my gear and was comfortable to wear. The design is impeccable. Was deciding between this and the Aer. The aer had great accessory pockets but these came at the price of excessive fabric and size. The peak design is beautiful and useful. I would prefer it to have a larger pocket on the back for quick access, but I chose this over the aer because the aer went overboard in this regard to my tatse
Iam petite at just 5.2 and find this bag extremely uncomfortable. The straps have very poor padding and are very poky at my shoulders especially when the bag is heavy. The weight balance is a little better with the sternum straps. The bags lower end sits quite awkwardly below my coccyx and with regard to this issue I feel it was my fault and I should have been more aware about the dimensions. I have no complaints at all regarding the quality looks and built of the bag.
I bought this a few weeks ago, and I am already very happy that I made the right choice for a compact back pack. It's very versatile and can be used for several purposes: carry on, short/long holiday, work etc. After sales service was ver responsive and excellent!
