## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Perfectly engineered carry-on with multiple unique and thoughtful features that you won't find on other bags.
-   The built-in laundry bag and dedicated saves you some money because you don't have to buy your own.
-   A shoe compartment makes adventure travel, hiking, and other outdoor activities more manageable as you don't have to worry about keeping your shoes clean or separated from your clothes.

### Things to consider

-   The bag is full of so many features it weights a bit more than other options. More pockets and such means more fabric and weight.
-   On the expensive side but you get what you pay for.
-   Laptop compartment isn't as accessible as you'd like.

## What reviewers said

-   Fit as a carry on in airplane with no problem.
-   The duffel system is a little awkward because the bag is so wide.
