Critics rave about the Porter 46's spacious design and versatility, hailing the backpack as a durable and practical choice for those traveling heavier or needing extra room. A range of features like its clamshell opening and compression strap were highlighted for enhancing the packing experience. Yet, the Porter 46's adaptability doesn't come without its drawbacks, as its size may deter some travelers looking for a smaller pack.
