Great versatile travel bag

Pretty happy overall with this bag. I purchased it for a travel carry-on for an upcoming trip, but have also been using it for a daily bag for work even though it is a little large for an everyday bag. The collapsible top has helped with keeping the bulk down a bit.
Pros: Premium materials, plenty of access, versatility. Many reviews say the straps are not comfortable, but my experience has been great with them.
Cons: The top handle is difficult to grab as it is a bit too snug to the top of the bag. Occasionally the zipper for the large compartment feels like it gets stuck on one of the corners. Nothing jammed, just difficult to zip around the corner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the travel backpack. Been using it since it first came out years ago and recently just bought a second.
It perfectly fits one medium and one small packing cube. Fits my needs whenever I need to go somewhere for a weekend and don't want to drag a suitcase around. Perfect for weekend trips into Manhattan where there's typically lots of steps when navigating mass transit.
First one has held up really well - basically looks new. Got the second one for my wife.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the 45l for a 2week trip to Japan with my family. This pack worked perfect as a carry on with 1 set of clothes for me and my 2 kids and some camera gear in the XS camera cube and my laptop. Looks great, the straps could be a little more padded but is doable. Definitely recommend this pack.
