## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Probably one of the safest, if not the safest, carry-on backpack in the market with tons of security features.
-   All the pockets are RFID safe to keep your data safe.
-   Zippers are puncture-resistant and lockable.
-   The bag's body is slash-proof and truly durable.

### Things to consider

-   The shoulder straps are adjustable only at a certain awkward point for some.
-   Could use some external pockets for your small things.

## What reviewers said

-   "I have used this product now for two trips. 3 weeks in Europe and recently 2 weeks in Greece. It can definitely fit a lot without it feeling bulky. Love the anti-theft features as well. Would recommend it!"
-   "This thing is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I never thought I could get so excited over a bag. This thing should be in the top travel backpack review recommendations, ridiculous that I never even found it online and had to have some unfortunate circumstances dissuade me from buying another one and going to a store. This thing is incredibly cool and looks so clean and professional."
-   "I am quite satisfied with its fashionable outlook. The inner layout was also ideal for backing my Macbook. The size is suitable for hand-carry on the plane."
