Our verdict

Things to consider

- Some small external pockets would be a great addition to this bag.
What reviewers said
- "This bag will hold it all and it’s light, flexible to carry, and still holds the small but important possessions I move slowly around Asia and even beyond with. If you are looking for a lightweight but flexible duffle that opens like a suitcase this may be the one for you"
- "Never travel with just a carry-on. I'm a modest packer. I'd recommend the bag for 1 to 3-day trips. However, experience travelers may be able to use the bag for longer trips. The laptop sleeve is an added bonus, and there are sufficient handles to help with lifting and maneuvering the bag. I prefer carrying the bag as a backpack but the shoulder carry is a nice option to have available. I recommend packing cubes to organize contents. The bag is just all-together good."
- "Absolutely love the versatility of this bag. I have used it camping and loved the variety way ways to grab and store as well as carry. When I first got it I thought, "Oh my gosh, it is so small I will never get everything in it." Looks are deceiving. It fit everything perfectly and I had room to spare. Once everything is in It has compression straps on the sides to help tighten it down so as long as everything is squishy (i.e. all clothing) it will fit in the airline carry-on space."
