I have an older (12 years) Bravo pack that has seen a lot of travel and commuting so I purchased this model for my son in the military. He likes the discrete look and it has ample storage.
This is perfect for me as I like to carry water with me and a protein shake, my search backpack can hit a 32 ounce yeti on the side pocket and a 22 ounce blender bottle on the other side pocket. Then it has enough space for my work folders and laptop in the laptop area. Then space in the larger zipper area for spare gym clothes and additional smaller pockets for more organization. I thought about getting the navigator backpack but it could not hold my 32 ounce water bottle
