## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Versatile as you can carry this in various ways such as a messenger bag, duffel bag, or as a backpack.
-   Highly durable and lightweight for its capacity.
-   Comes with an Ironclad Guarantee by Patagonia.
-   Has functional organization and access to the main compartment is easy because of its clamshell opening. This makes packing things easier and faster.

### Things to consider

-   Lacks structures. Careful planning is needed when packing.
-   Not the most comfortable backpack to carry over long periods of time.

## What reviewers said

-   "Bought this bag as a replacement laptop bag. The looks and function are great. Wish it had one of those built-in lanyard key clips though."
-   "The size of the bag was perfect for my travel needs. I was hoping for a not-too-big, not-too-small bag for traveling and this was great. The product, at first sight, was apparently very compact, but as I filled it up, it turned out to have more space than I expected. I LOVED the amount of storage it had inside (little compartments everywhere)..."
-   "This bag is a great fit!!! It has excellent compartments just right for packing everything I need in a carry-on. I highly recommend this bag for anyone who wants a little more organization than the regular black hole duffle."
