What we like
Tons of useful organizers and pockets with a large main compartment for clothing. Perfect for 7+ day trips.
Durable fabric and construction. Feels like it will hold up to common travel abuse.
Great for extra large laptops - can fit a laptop up to 19-inches.
What we don’t like
Chest and waist straps are actually pretty crappy. Chest strap has the tendency to come loose when in use while the waist strap is thin and provides very little support.
No TSA friendly laptop compartment.
