Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- Minimalist and professional-looking aesthetics. You can carry this bag while wearing business attire.
- You can carry it multiple ways. You can carry it as a backpack, a messenger bag, or as a hand-carry duffle bag.
- Boasts a highly comfortable harness system. It's also stowable which means you can make this bag dangle-free and store it in tight places such as under your airplane seat and overhead cabins.
- The laptop compartment truly protects your tech gadgets from bumps and scratches and its location is optimal. It also has a separate compartment so you can easily pull it out during TSA inspections.
Things to consider
- A brighter color of the insides would be appreciated.
- Lacks a bit of internal organization.
What reviewers said
- "I love this bag, so roomy and the size is easy to manage as both a bag and backpack. Great also that it can be used as carry-on luggage."
- "The litehaul 38L is a great backpack for a number of reasons. It has ample space in the main storage space, allowing you to pack in your own style. The top compartment is a great space to get the gear you want to have quick access to, especially when the bag is slid away..."
