> 3 dayOverall this is a great bag for the price. It is functional, and nice looking. It carried a weekends worth of clothing easily, the different carrying straps were nice, and the padded shoulder straps were comfortable. I am only 5 tall, and it was not too big or long on my back. A couple things I noticed that I would change: the inside back divider pocket was nice to have; however it didnt have enough structure to it, when I would put things into the main compartment, it would push down, and the velcro strap didnt do much to keep it up and sturdy. Plus the velcro kept getting caught and attached to a sweater. If that had a snap or even another zipper, that would be better. The other thing, is the front chest strap with clasp was nice to have when walking with a bag full of stuff; however it wasnt very long. I am not a big person, and it was extended all the way and still a little hard to connect. If you are bigger, this would be probably unusable.

> 3 dayPurchased this because I needed a good carryon bag, one that was under the specified dimensions, not too bulky, and not terribly expensive. This fit the bill and ended up being even more durable and high-quality than I expected. It was never flagged as too big by any of the airlines, either. I liked that it could be carried as either a backpack or a duffel bag.

> 3 dayThis is fine as a duffel and has nice space, but it has 0 backpack support structure so if you put anything heavy on the bottom it will crink in the middle and dig the top and bottom into your back. Everything else feels good aside from that but thats very noticeable when you put weightier items in the bottom of the bag.

> 3 dayI bought this bag for traveling with a long tube (to hold a poster)! It worked so well and I could also add my laptop, binder, office supplies and travel jacket. There are so many storage pockets for all sizes and shapes of things that take up space in a suitcase. The bag has handles and straps so it can be carried or used as a backpack. Well made and beautifully designed!

> 3 dayThis backpack is great has a ton of room. I use this for school and it has plenty of pouches for writing supplies, laptop,notebooks, tablet, chargers and wires. The only downside Ive noticed is that the internal foam for the top flap of the backpack flips over sometimes. Its not really adhered down inside. And this bag can be used in a few different configurations. One thing I did not like was the shoe storage. If thats empty and your carrying a decent eight it will make the distribution of weight a little weird for your back. I end up using the laptop pouch for heavy electronics to compensate. Also be sure you laptop or tablet has a case too.

> 3 dayBought this as a first-time backpacker and honestly wish Id gone for something else. While the design is attractive and the material itself is very durable, thats about all I can say for this product. Its difficult to pack and uncomfortable to wear. If youre planning on carrying this on your back for any length of time (including even just a 10 minute walk through the airport) just know that this is not designed with any kind of weight distribution/back support in mind. Additionally the inside pockets/dividers are more irritating than functional as they are either too small to fit anything in or (in the case of the laptop sleeve) get in the way of you putting other things in. For my next trip I am shelling out for something higher end, maybe will look for a used Osprey. Update: Seller reached out to correct the issue so I am changing from 3 to 5 stars! Hopefully they release or list an updated version of this product soon!

> 3 dayThis backpack is a very sturdy canvas build. It holds a decent amount of weight. No, I have not tested to maximum capacity. I have carried in the realm of 30-40lbs in it and probably average 15-20lb for daily general use. All buckles are plastic, I would prefer metal however beggars cant be choosers. The important buckles are thick plastic and molded to be sturdy. The straps have buckles for quick release which is nice. I do not use the chest strap; at maximum length it still does not fit me. However, this backpack holds the original form very well and the chest strap is largely not needed if the backpack is packed well with solid weight distribution and shoulder strap tightness adjusted to your needs. My only real complaint is overall ability to organize items in the main item pouch. It is largely open space where a variety of items can be stored. However, items can get shifted around and lost within the bag itself. I do find myself searching some something specific for longer times that necessary. I will likely purchase or make storage areas to compartmentalize my items for quicker retention when needed. Overall, this backpack is a great investment, I regularly receive compliments and get asked questions about it. I know I am omitting the waterproof compartment at the bottom; I have not had the need arise to use it yet however love that its a feature. It is built well, and I can absolutely see carrying an extra pair of shoes or wet clothes in that compartment (which is exactly what I will be using that area for.)

> 3 dayThe official description calls this a convertible duffel bag backpack. The first thing I wish Id known in buying this bag is: its backpack sized, not duffel bag sized. If youre accustomed to carrying a large duffel bag sufficient to hold all your clothing, toiletries, and entertainment for a three-day weekend, this bag isnt big enough for that. Its the right size to stow in an airliners overhead compartment, and will carry enough clothes and goodies for a few days, if you pack abstemiously. That said, I actually like this bag overall. It has two large external compartments, two small ones, and an internal pouch for small items like your cloth respiratory masks. If you pack carefully, and dont bring lots of gewgaws, you can live out of this bag for two or three days, longer if you pack some travel-sized laundry detergent. The tightly woven canvas fabric is water-resistant (though not waterproof), so its durable through multiple travel conditions. This is a good piece of small luggage. And it has multiple ways of carrying it. If youve made it this far in the description, you already know it has shoulder straps like a backpack, a handgrip, and a detachable shoulder strap. This means that, if youre already carrying another piece of luggage (in my case, a computer backpack), you have multiple options for how to carry this bag. You arent burdened by carrying it in any single way that might wear on your body later. All three options are built to resist damage from regular handling. I do wish the bag was larger. I hoped Id be able to carry my clothes, workout gear, and the book(s) Im currently reading in the bag; instead, I had to make value judgements about what to leave behind. But if you know that ahead, this bag makes good luggage for weekend trips, overnight jaunts, and business travel. You can carry it with other bags, or on its own. And youll probably carry everything you need for quite a while in just one bag, if you choose wisely.

> 3 dayI think the bag is mostly fine, but the construction/durability of some parts are bad. I havent traveled much with it, and mostly use it just during the day. So not like Im hiking with it or checking it on flights. But one zipper has gotten stuck and one of the smaller straps fell off. Im excepting more issues in the future and probably wont buy again.
