Frustrating

"It’s a good size and comfortable to wear but 2 things bugged me. 1) It’s an odd shape, small at the base and tapering out to wider at the top which makes it impossible to have it free standing. You have to lean it against something. 2) The only external pocket is on the very top of the backpack so you can’t access it when the bag is lying down as everything falls out. So a couple of simple gripes in design made this quite a frustrating backpack to travel with."

"Good Quality Material and Comfy"

Melvin M. (5/5)

Great size, lightweight.

"Great size, lightweight."

Nice bag, but not perfect.

"Feels like the bag is upside down, as its smaller on the bottom and bigger on the top. Also not a great fan of the pocket on top, feels like it could be better positioned and in a way where items can't easily fall out of it. I have a 38L Litehaul as well and this feels nearly the same size from a visual point of view, which makes me worry on some airlines."

Brian M. (3/5)

Laptop survived a train crash!

"I don’t usually write product reviews, but this backpack deserves some credit! I was in the Machu Picchu train crash at the end of 2025. The bag was thrown from the luggage rack amongst other bags including large cases. My laptop & iPad were in the laptop sleeve & remained undamaged in the impact. If you’re looking for a travel bag, it’s definitely worth considering. I also like the ability to tuck the backpack straps away."

Jo N. (5/5)

Sturdy backpack

"Easy to use backpack. Heavier than what I thought it would be, but has a lot of structural support."

Saima G. (5/5)

It works as described

"See above"

John E. (5/5)

Light weight over nighter or hiker

"Great size bag that suits work travel or day hiking. Very impressed by its features, just right amount of pockets & lack of toggles & zips."

"Excellent small backpack Wished it had a bottle holder on the outside But otherwise no complaints perfect to use as a carry on for travel."
