The zipper for the laptop compartment is surprisingly smooth and easy. The material seems like it will age well in the outdoors and still look professional. The water bottle holders are solid. The floating divider is nice and easily accessible. The clamshell opening is great for fast access and doesn't get the straps dirty.
Cons:
The snaps that compress the bag internally come undone too easily. Sneaky compression straps on the outside would be preferred. I re-purposed the attachment straps and use them for compression - it's a B+ solution. The bottom of the bag has an uncomfortable ridge that pops out and hits me right in the lumbar. Wish it was a little more padded and curved away from me. I take my laptop in and out of the sleeve with great frequency - I'm worried about how the velcro will hold up over time.

I bought this bag after comparing a number of bags (Cotopaxi, etc.). The thoughtful design of this bag is really beyond belief. Every zipper, every snap, every Anchorpoint is placed perfectly: there when you need it and hidden or out of the way when you don’t.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hands-free on the go!

Want to run through an around a new city and still be able to navigate stairs, public transportation, and cobblestone street all while still being to have coffee and a croissant? This is your pack. I hate having to deal with rolling luggage of bulky duffles. Big enough to hold a week’s worth of clothes (and laptop and camera) but not so big that it makes you fall over backwards (said from the POV of a 5’0 woman). Love it! Well constructed and nice clean look.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellence

I bought this bag over a year ago, and it continues to be an excellent daily-driver bag. I use it for laptop carry, groceries, and sort trips in Europe. The expandable sections make it excellent for multi-use, and the large main pocket makes it perfect for stuffing all sorts of belongings away.

I've been using this bag for a while now and it is super great. The only thing I wish is if the inside had the ability to use the origami folds so I could use the divisors to organize the bag.
