Reasons to buy

  • Truly durable and weather-resistant. It also comes with a rainfly to keep your things dry during heavy downpours.
  • Comfortable to use even when fully packed and/or used for extended periods of time.
  • Features lots of organization that will keep things tidy inside the bag.
  • The dual access is truly convenient to use whenever reaching for your laptop or something else inside your bag.

Things to consider

  • Issues with the pockets being tight to use.
  • The hip belt is really bulky and can't be tucked nor removed.
  • The shoe compartment eats up space in the main compartment so you should keep this in mind when packing.

What reviewers said

  • "I was really excited about this bag when it showed up after doing all of the research on it. It does have some great qualities - you can fit a lot in the bag and the waist and other straps help a lot when distributing the load. Even with a lot of stuff in the bag, it doesn't seem completely unmanageably heavy."
  • "This little backpack has a lot of advantages. There are many little pockets to help you organize things and I like that you can fit a lock on the zippers. The part that I love the most about this backpack is that it opens like a butterfly with each side separate from the other for easier organization of clothes. I have used this backpack on two 5 day trips so far and with careful, mindful packing, everything I need fits. I like that there is a separate zipper for the laptop compartment. I don't have a laptop, but it easily fits my kindle and whatever else I want to easily access. I'm excited to use it for International trips!"
  • "This backpack is just the perfect size for my carry-on for my upcoming trip to Iceland!. I love having multiple compartments that are sturdy, yet flexible. It is so well built and supportive. Thank you!"
