Easy to pack, carry and holds a lot

Excellent travel pack with many pockets and internal space for just about anything. The construction was top notch with reinforced zippers, and adjustable cinch straps with rugged clips and tough but stylish canvas outer covering. The blue denim tone color is really nice. The internal expanding space is large with room for a laptop and also has a direct connection cable from within the pack to a USB connection that is located outside the pack. Great for charging without removing the laptop or connecting to a battery and using that to run a device. It has 2 carrying handles one on top and one on the side and can be strapped on like a backpack. With comfortable padded and webbed straps. Also a outside pocket large enough for carrying a bottle of water. What else you want? Well there is something else...it has a wide stretchable strap on the back to be able to attach to a rolling luggage carrier cart. Appears they havent overlooked anything. There are multiple storage cubes included and a water proof area inside. This travel pack has it all. I have to say, I love thing thing. I dont see how you can go wrong with this.

Backpacks have become my carry-on luggage of choice for air travel. They are great for carrying hands-free and are a good size for stowing under the seat in front, but a few that I have used are obviously optimized for upright packing and unpacking. This is a little inconvenient for travel as putting stuff in a pack is easy, but accessing it, not so much. I actually did not know what to expect from this item. I was attracted to the laptop storage. I was hoping it would make removing and stowing a laptop easier than with other backpacks. It definitely does that. There is a dedicated laptop compartment that is accessible in the most convenient way from under an airline seat. In and out on a plane is going to be much easier than any other pack I have used. Better still, this pack is more like a soft-sided suitcase. The “lid” is secured on three sides by a zipper like a hard-sided suitcase I have. It is also expandable (a couple of inches in depth). It is just a tad smaller than my hard-sided case (usually stowed in the overhead), but it should be easy to pack whatever I need for short trips. It will also be easier to access and unpack than a traditional backpack. I am so used to using a backpack that I just live with the existence of the straps when the pack is not on my back. This pack has a pocket to stow the straps, and has two handles for carrying, if desired, like a…well…like a suitcase. This feature eats up some precious cubic inches of packing volume, but I know it will be nice to be able to get the straps out of the way in planes. The packing cubes have yet to be put to use, but I can see them making packing and unpacking more orderly than a traditional backpack. The suitcase form factor of this pack is very desirable compared to the deep and narrow access of traditional backpacks. The packing cubes are going to work well with this design. I can’t wait to put this pack to its first use.

It definitely makes my trips easiest with everything including my 15 laptop in this one backpack. The design is amazing that it has all possibly needed pockets and layers for storage. It can look strapless too - the straps can be folded inside it. My only suggestion is adding back/waist support straps to it - which will be tremendously helpful for walkers

Well, Made – love the compartments

However, calling it a backpack doesnt seem to do it justice. So far it seems to be nice and durable, so I have high hopes that it will last a good while. My favorite thing about it is that it has 3 different removeable, cubes, as well as a removeable shoe bag. And regarding the cubes. Theres a large cube, a medium cube, and the other smaller cube is apparently water resistant.

Its got tons of room in it. Perfect for someone like me who packs light. I could easily take this for a weekend retreat and not need to bring a carry-on. Lots of compartments for storing your different things. The back straps can be hidden away so this can be used more like a carry-on bag too. It even has a strap on the side for a water bottle, so would work well for a student (I know I loved bringing my water bottle around campus).

I often travel with just a backpack because I dont like the pain of pulling a roller bag around and stressing about having enough room on an airplane to stow it. Up to this point Ive never been happy with the options Ive tried, including some expensive ones from eBags. It does come folded in half and really squished so I stuffed it with a couple pillows for a week to get it to form back to its true shape before I used it. Here is what I like about this bag: #1 It is rectangular like a suitcase so you can really fit a lot of stuff into it. #2 the packing cubes are huge and can take up almost the entire clothing compartment, thats actually nice because I always find that the cubes are more trouble than they are worth because they leave wasted space that you try to stuff full with socks and other extra clothes. #3 the zippers work really well and I like that they dont have hard metal pulls on them. I found with other bags that these can get caught up and break off. For travel bags, stiff cloth pulls are the way to go. #4 the cary handles are actually handles and not little straps that you cant use. #5 the water bottle carrier is just big enough to fit a 24oz hydroflask without the rubber thingy on the bottom. And the strap above it is in the perfect place to clip through the handle on the lid (which is important if youve ever had one of these slide out as you are putting a bag into the overhead and almost hurt someone). If you carry a big water bottle like a Nalgene, it will NOT fit in the pocket. #6 the bottom of the back of the bag bulges out slightly to fit into the small of your back so even without a waist strap it puts some of the load on your waist vs your shoulders. For anyone who regularly carries a backpack you know how important this is. Here is what I dont like: #1 The backpack straps are not as comfortable as they could be. I think they anchor too far apart to the bag so it sits further on the outside of your shoulders. With the sternum strap this fixes it a bit but without it you can get sore shoulders fast. Ive used other bags that when loaded up are fine without the sternum strap. That being said I am fairly slender by todays standards at 60 & 170lbs, if you are heavier and have a wider neck/shoulders this may not be as big of a deal for you. #2 The metal name/address tag I really dont care for, Ive had it get caught up trying to get the bag out of the trunk or under a seat and Im about ready to cut it off. It would be so much nicer if it was a stiff fabric with a little fabric tab that stuck out of the bag so you can pull it out and read it. This is not a game changer, you can decide when you get the bag if you like it or not, it will take about 5 seconds to cut it off but it is permanent, there will be no way to reattach it. #3 Im neutral on the charging cord, I dont use it and wish the bag didnt have it but its not in the way of anything so I dont really care. Overall it is my new favorite, if the size is what you need I would totally recommend it.

Packs 4 days worth of clothes, shoes, accessories, laptop, cables, water bottle, plus some, and looks fantastic!!!! Also water resistant. Sat on the tarmac in the rain for 35 minutes and nothing inside got even threatened with dampness!! A must have!! Tons of pockets, thoughtfully organized, and the packing cubes are amazing!!

I use backpacks to bring what I need with me to work every night of trucking. So my gear isnt exactly for day trips as much as a night of work. But, this seems to hold up the weight of my stuff pretty nicely.
