What reviewers said
- "I bought one for my husband in December doing FIFO and on planes most days. He loved it so much, and I got FOMO so I bought myself one! I love that it opens like a suitcase...It’s light and made to cabin baggage standards so I don’t have to stress. There are ample pockets and the straps you aren’t using tuck away conveniently. I also bought the plus 1 to go on the front of the pack, which is fantastic as well as going in and out of airports and check-ins etc (even if it is only domestic these days.)"
- "I bought this backpack for a trip to Machu Picchu and it surely did not disappoint. The bagis very comfortable to maneuver around and fits all the essential items. I loved that the shoulder straps can be zipped away to protect the straps as this was my check-in bag. It is so easy to get to your things as it opens like a normal suitcase. Spares you the digging for a shirt you're looking for like in most other backpacks. Small compartments are also very convenient for easy access to items."
- "After traveling the past few years, we realized what works and doesn't work for when we travel. I brought this bag for my brother as a replacement to the carry-on luggage that he hated wheeling out in the narrow aisle of the plane, especially after a long flight. I like that the bag opens up like a suitcase and has all of the pockets at the top for easy access. It's super light and we can make the most out of the carry-on luggage allowance. My coworker also purchased this bag after seeing my purchase because they too hate wheeling out luggage off the plane."
