Great product, would definitely recommend
Great backpack for European travel. Held quite a bit and was beyond sturdy. No issues fitting under the seat in the plane and the strip to attach it to the luggage handle was amazing.

Too small doesn't fit a 16" laptop
It's labeled 17 but doesn't even fit a 16" laptop. It's much smaller than one is led to believe.

Good Airline Travel Bag
I really like the size of the bag. And also, the numerous pockets are useful - just have to remember in which pocket you stored your items - because there are a lot of pockets.

Efficient long weekend bag
This is a great weekend bag. We are not gonna fit a lot of clothes in here but it's great for A couple of days. I like that the bag is light it's small but it's big enough a lot of outside pockets I could put my iPad in one pocket and some other stuff in the other pockets That are on the outside.

Perfect replacement for carry on
I purchased for short business trips plus replaced my carry on on trips I need large checked luggage. Don’t need large carry on for makeup and outfit in case luggage doesn’t arrive on time. One suggestion would make it perfect-wish they had made the clothing side expandable from narrow to current size so works better as a briefcase on short work trips.

Not worth the price.
Quality is good. Size is accurate. However the large zipper pouch on the inside makes it hard to pack. They need to make it a simple zipper cover with the mesh like the AWAY suitcase. It also has some other bulky strap on the inside. Sorry but that is the best way i can compare it. Don't over complicate a simple small bag. I paid too much for an over complicated ...

Great little backpack
This is a very sturdy backpack I can fit at least five days of clothing with maybe one nice pair of pants. Great for a weekend I haven’t tried it on an airplane yet.

Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!
This didn't disappoint! I was pretty excited when I ordered this bag, but seeing how lightweight and sturdy it is in person made me even happier. My significant other even teased me that I might not get to use the bag more than once before they steal it away from me! The different ways you can carry the bag means we can both use it without having to adjust our travel s...

Fantastic Thing for the Minimal Packers
Now that I had taken this baby to 3 countries (5 cities) for 2 weeks, I can give a proper review. Comfort: this will hurt your shoulder and upper back; the straps are very comfortable, but tend to feel like they will slide off your shoulders if you don’t adjust them on your shoulders from time to times; since the backpack was heavy, there was no point for me to use th...

What a backpack crossbody carry
Perfect in every aspect. Fits overhead fits under seat. It’s a backpack with the features of a well compartmentalized suitcase and so much more. It’s also quite elegant and very well made. I got so many compliments on this backpack. Totally worth the money. In an age when overhead bags are just small, hard suitcases this bag will have you in and out of the overhead in a...

Awesome travel bag.
I bought this bag for a trip to the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Perfect bag for any mode of transportation. Fits nicely in the overhead storage or under the seat. It holds it's shape. Great as a carry bag, backpack or a shoulder bag. Everything is organized inside and very durable. Love it;.

So many compartments!
This is the best ever backpack I have owned. I love the style and sleek look of this product. Since it's square and hold things in place better than your normal backpack would. It has a large number of compartments to make sure all of your belongings do not get jumbled together the inside is lined with a beautiful soft lining. You can take this backpack anywhere and it'...

Just what I needed
Great to find a carry-on suitcase that can be carried like a backpack. It has a suitcase structure, so clothes don't get all rumpled like in a regular backpack, but easier for me to carry than a rolling bag. It works great, lots of pockets and space to fit a couple days' worth of stuff. You can also carry it as a shoulder bag.

Super convenient and perfect for the traveling businessman. I am wanting to book more weekend trips now that I have this backpack. Plenty of compartments and zippered pockets for keeping organized.
