This was perfect for my two weeks in Japan. Plenty of size for anything you need. The shoe compartment is cool. USB attachment for battery use. Great find!

Had a few other bags from back in the day and decided i needed an upgrade. This is well worth the price and was able to pack everything i needed for atleast a week,plenty of room for my extra shoes and laptop! Fit in the compartment in the plane no problem...not bad for an old bag huh...

I almost paid many times more money for a similar bag that matches my green luggage. Instead, I purchased this bag figuring if it failed after using it a few times, I could buy another and still be ahead. Anyhow, I was very surprised by the great quality of this bag. Even the zippers are great. I can check my wheeled larger bag and carry this on. I keep my in-flight gear in it, along with what may not fit in my wheeled luggage when I take a longer trip. VERY happy with my purchase. Zero complaints.

I hate that airlines nickel and dime you for everything nowadays, but this bag is fantastic!! It counts as your personal item (Ive used it on Spirit no problem) and fits under the seat in front of you, so no more fighting for space in the overhead bins. I could not believe how much I could fit in this bag!!! I used it for a week long trip to disney world and was able to fit a 25L day pack hiking backpack, 5 long sleeve sun protective shirts, 7 pairs of underwear, 3 bras, 2 pairs of cargo capris, 7 pairs of socks, pajamas, a swim suit, a pair of high top sneakers, flip flops, a sun hat, a sun parasol, sun screen, a box of 40 face masks, a liter water bottle, 30 individual sleeves of Gatorade powder, a back up battery pack, shampoo and conditioner bars, my kindle, and probably even more stuff that I am forgetting now. It is comfortable to wear on your back even when completely filled to the brim. I also used this bag for a weekend road trip to a wedding and was able to fit everything for the whole weekend with room to spare. If you use this on just one flight, it pays for itself. The only thing I would change is adding a chest strap, other than that its the perfect bag.

To be fair, all I wanted was a backpack to take with me to work. To carry my laptop, lunch, umbrella, and a couple of books. It does all that perfectly well, but that isnt asking a lot right? So then I started taking it on flights; meets TSA requirements. I love the shoe compartment. I havent tried the USB port (that would connect to your own charged battery pack that you leave in the backpack) but its a clever idea. The padding on the straps is plush. Super comfortable. At this price, I expected the zipper to be garbage and stitches to pop out thru light use, but nope. Ive been using this backpack every day for 4 months and its still perfect. So much room inside the main compartment. Even the secondary compartment for the laptop is ample AND padded. Great purchase!

The only thing I didnt love about this bag was that there is no chest buckle or hip strap. This made it uncomfortable to carry through the airport while also wheeling other luggage. I realize that a hip strap is a lot to ask of a backpack this size, but I think a chest strap would make a big difference and other models by this company have one. However you can fit a lot of stuff into it (which makes it heavy, which is why you need a chest buckle) and it does fit under an airplane seat.

Though I bought this backpack for international travel thinking it would open flat like a suitcase and allow me to carry more than a typical backpack, I did a trial run domestically this month. The backpack is comfortable even when loaded and it does hold more items as I had hoped. It has a number of pockets that help with organization. I am, however, terribly disappointed in the mesh side pockets which are almost too small for a 16oz plastic water bottle and definitely wont hold a travel bottle that you could refill. I even had trouble getting my mini umbrella in!! In our current day, I think all backpacks should have external mesh pockets with the ability to easily hold at least a 24 oz water bottle for travel and a standard travel umbrella.

Excellent

Used the backpack to travel abroad with and it held up well at the airports and hiking, i over stuffed it and used all the components and had no issues, ill give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars

The bag isnt rigid enough so no matter how you pack it, its lumpy. There isnt a fastener for the front of the shoulder straps, which is an easy addition that should have been added. There are so many pockets that it decreases the overall space inside the bag. This bag cant decide if its a 3-4 day trip bag or a two day bag and it suffers by that lack of a decision. for a 2 day bag its way too bug but for a 3-4 day bag its lacking for storage space due to the overengineering of the inside. Someone took a roller bag, made the sides soft. removed the wheels, made shoulder straps, and added 15 pockets. The idea is there but a version three versions from now will be worth owning.
