Good materials - Design almost there
I am torn on this bag. Lots of pros and cons. Had I not bought it on sale and had a gift card to cover some of the cost, I would be more tempted to return it. 3.5 Stars (I rounded up) Pros: Sturdy, good construction, nice colors. Bright lining makes it easy to see inside. Main section opens fully. Size is great for most carry-ons and I am confident I can squish it into the sizer for a personal item on budget airlines. Love the many ways it can be carried. I feel this bag will last a good long time. The back laptop compartment is tight and I would be careful if over-loading the bag - so pick either super stuffing the bag and keeping your laptop in a different bag, OR filling it normally and the pocket is usable. I also like that it has water bottle pockets, but they are tight, so it will fit a slimmer bottle comfortable, or it will fight you on the thicker ones. Neutrals/Cons: The compartments and pockets are strange. The main compartment is very shallow, but works with packing cubes to get the most of it. The front midsize full zip area is ok and has a little depth, but it should have webbing on two sides to help with loading it and accessing items without spilling when upright. The single zip smallest pocket is not good. It doesn't have much give, which is fine if you want to just keep boarding passes or flat items in it. But the two zipper pockets inside are basically useless; they are so tight it is too hard to get anything in them without scraping your hand. I think this bag will be an acquired taste for me, but I'm willing to give it a few trips.
TOPO with another win
This bag rocks. The version her is the updated version from the one I own. The only difference is they added the external water bottle spots which was my only compliant with previous version. Plenty of storage, 3 divided compared with smaller storage within each. Super comfortable, super high quality!
Never have to check again …
Obviously there are a ton of choices out there for backpacks and travel packs but after a great deal of research I chose this one to add to my gear. In an effort to never have to check bags, this “personal item” fits the bill in every way. It is large enough to hold my onboard stuff (laptop, books, headphones etc.) but small enough to fit under the seat in front of me. I can also just use this bag as a full carry-on for weekend trips. Tough and durable, you can feel the quality of the material and construction every time you use it. Although there are many excellent parts to this bag, for me the best are 1) the option to seal everything up and carry it like a briefcase, and 2) the sleeve that attaches it to my (Away) carry-on. Awesome addition to my travel experience!
unfortunately tore
Used this bag once for a month touring and the inside fabric tore. The tear was in the middle of the fabric on the piece that separates the compartment. I had searched for a long time for a flexible international carry on. Promptly returned it
questionable quality
The plastic ring for adjusting the straps broke on first use with only 13 lbs total in bag. Returned.
small but heavy
Smaller than expected, but heavy. Doesn't pair with the Global travel roller. Lots of padding, taking up space - but wouldn't make sense on a hike. I don't understand it...
great bag
I have this in two different colors, it’s a great one bag carry if you only need a 30 L size.
