## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Features an Air Pod System (APS) harness that allows for airflow and contains breathable mesh. Extra comfort and cushioning are ensured by this harness system.
-   Features a minimal and professional-looking design that would fit virtually everywhere even in business settings.
-   You can carry it as a backpack, a messenger bag, or as a hand-carry duffle bag depending on your needs.
-   Has an attachment option for Litehaul Plus 1 and Litehaul RFID Pod which adds more functionality to the whole thing.

### Things to consider

-   The laptop compartment is a bit too big so your laptop can be moving a lot as you travel.
-   Could use some more internal organization.
