This bag covers all the bases.

I'm not too fancy, just need the basics and a bag that doesn't scream obnoxious. It covers all my bases, e.g. two water bottle pocket and trolley pass-through luggage strap.

Sleek and slim backpack
on April 29, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
This bag is sleek, slim and holds all my gear without feeling weighed down. There are two styles that are cheaper, but I went with Best since the price wasn't bad.
This backpack broke within 2months of ordering it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Uncomfortable at high load with poor organization

Although it is said as 18 L but it feels much smaller because of how the compartments of the bag is organized. Front stash pockets are too tight. Laptop compartment doesn’t have separate sleeve but it is padded very well. The main compartment is narrow so if you are planning to load the bag towards its max, you will have to squish it. Plus shoulder straps are sewn very close to each other causing pressure on shoulder at high load. I wouldn’t recommend unless you have a small frame and absolutely sure your backpack load is light (small laptop or iPad) with simple tech items.
