Executive level backpack

Lightweight and durable. Great for traveling with enough versatility and space to pack for an overnight trip. Awesome for everyday commute with secure space for your tech.
I purchased this backpack in 2023, and so far, it's been amazing in terms of structure and durability. No issues with the zippers or any other components. I travel a lot—about 60 flights per year—and the backpack still looks great, which speaks volumes about its quality.
However, I'm giving it 3 stars because of the "Add-A-Bag sleeve," which has been a significant inconvenience for me as a frequent traveler. While the feature is designed to attach the backpack to a luggage handle, it's incredibly uncomfortable to use. It’s almost impossible to do it with one hand or quickly. The sleeve tends to get stuck on the head of the luggage handle, requiring both hands and a fair amount of effort to stretch and detach the backpack.
This should be an easy and seamless operation for a travel-focused backpack, but unfortunately, it’s not. While the bag excels in other areas, this particular flaw is frustrating enough to affect the overall experience.
Really like the backpack. It has loads of space but doesn’t seem big on the outside. Also like when I sit it down it sits upright. Not a feature I would have thought useful but appreciate it. Really like that there are many pockets and compartments. And my 22 oz hydroflask fits perfectly in either side.
Great bag. Never thought I would have been so attached to a backpack. Initially bought this specifically for travel now I’m using it for the office as well.
