Reasons to buy

  • Spacious main compartment which is complemented by its clamshell opening for easy loading and unloading of things.
  • Versatile to use as you can carry it as a messenger bag, duffle bag, or backpack.
  • Features functional organization throughout the entire pack.
  • Quite comfortable to use as a backpack because of its stowable ergonomic shoulder straps.

Things to consider

  • The orientation of the organizer section can be a bit tricky to use when used in backpack mode.
  • The main compartment could turn into a jumbled mess if not properly organized and used as a backpack.
  • Could use some small external pockets for your small things.

What reviewers said

  • "I use this for road trips and all casual travel. The shape is perfect for stacking or squeezing into the trunk!"
  • "I bought this bag in 2007ish, and fly weekly with it. That is nearly 13 years and over a thousand flights and I have never had an issue once with it. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know who travels. It is my go-to graduation gift for people."
  • "This is my third MLC bag. Over the years, my other two have been "borrowed" by friends embarking on a hectic travel schedule and "gifted" to them because of their love of the bag. This new bag is just as good as the old tried and true bag from years ago. I recommend it to everyone who asks about my travel gear."
