This bag, a few packing cubes, and well though out clothes and there's no limit to how long you can travel. It is very sturdy, with tons of features and access.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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!

Loved it so much, we got a 2nd!

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.

Great travel backpack.

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.

Nearly perfect

Bought this about 7 months ago. Have done 15 days in Japan, a week in Mexico, and several other shorter trips with it since. Fantastic bag. Holds a ton but can shrink down if you need it to. Some people seem to misunderstand the snaps, they’re not really for compression, rather just to make the bag smaller if it’s not full. Used it for both camera gear and regular packing and it’s great for both. Would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Only thing holding it back is it definitely needs load lifters! Also maybe a second access to the front pocket so stuff in the bottom is more easily accessible.
I would recommend this to a friend!
