I really wanted to like this backpack and it's probably a good backpack for most. On the surface it seems very well made and it is for the most part but the water bottle pocket ripped day one when I was using the pull tab. The grab loop for the pocket was stitched passed the reinforcement which seems like a manufacturing defect. I like the sturdiness but it makes it weigh a little too much for daily wear in my opinion. Only other complaint is shoulder straps which is a shame because the back padding is nectar. I ended up buying the Cotopaxi Allpa Daypack and I'm much more happy with that purchase.
Wish it had a luggage strap. Excellent laptop space I can fit my iPad, laptop and 2nd monitor in the same compartment.
This is my perfect work/ travel backpack. Just the right size to carry my large laptop, accessories and notebooks. I can fly with this as my personal item whether it’s with my work stuff or empty it to pack with a few clothes. Great adjustability and comfort.
Genuinely very impressed by this backpack! I have two work laptops (+ cords, etc) I need to bring to the office and I commute by public transportation. It holds a ton and still manages to look sleek without making me look like I’m on my way to a college campus. The back padding and straps are cushioned and thoughtfully designed, and as a 5’7 woman the overall size is well suited to my back. The front pockets are big and convenient and I like that the laptop pocket is fleece lined so you don’t need a separate sleeve. My only qualm is the water bottle pockets are kind of weird and tight, but my 18oz hydroflask still fits so ultimately not a dealbreaker. I have used a Patagonia Black Hole Backpack for years, but wanted something a little more professional. After picking up many packs in store, this one felt like it was built to last and worth the price tag. I didn’t want black, and while the soapstone color is pretty it isn’t practical so taupe green was an easy choice. Looking forward to many years of use!
