I am not happy with the quality padded laptop sleeve. Too thin, small and no secure strap. I also do not like that the main compartment opens all the way. I underestimated the size. A bit too big for what I need. The straps are great and can easily be tucked away. The wheels are great as well. Easily maneuverable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great bag. Lots of room and pockets. I used it as my carry on when flying. The best part is if I don’t want to carry as backpack the handle sealed the deal for me! Great quality!

So far it looks good. I just got it. I like the fact that it’s very light, even with the wheel system.

Great design!

My backpack arrived today. It was like I wanted to be especially the separate laptop compartment. The material though is quite thin so I hope it holds true to the rigors of travel. Not happy with the zipper toggles cuz of an inch of a cord attached to the handle. There is a lag when you open & close a compartment. Just use the usual zipper handles attached to the head.

Sufficient for my needs, but could function better

Sufficient for my needs to use as a carry-on or for a quick weekend trip. The single-bar, extendable handle could be better because the bag can become unbalanced when wheeling across the ground. A U-shaped extendable handle like the one used in previous versions of the backpack lessened the chance of the bag becoming unbalanced when being wheeled.

Rugged and versatile for camping

I bought this primarily to transport an Ecoflow Delta 3 plus power station. It fits it very nicely, it protects it very nicely, the backpack straps allow me to walk through the woods with it, and the wheels allow me to roll it easily including up and down stairs. I'm very happy with the design and the quality and the price. Looking forward to buying more High Sierra products.

Poor Quality

I bought this backpack for my granddaughter for school this year in September and it’s only 3 months later and it’s torn in a few spots. I’m very disappointed in the poor quality and I believe you should replace it
