Beautiful pack - but it has a problem
No, I do not recommend this product
Purchased online a few days ago, and received the pack today. Absolutely beautiful, overall high quality backpack. Care was clearly put into the design, the feel and the materials. Which makes it all the more perplexing that upon first adjustment of the sternal strap - the plastic clamp promptly broke in two within my hands. I'd researched this pack heavily before purchase, one of the online video review sites noted the sternal clamp broke almost instantly when they attempted to adjust it as well. I considered that info before purchase, but thought it was only a fluke. Obviously this is a design flaw which needs to be addressed. Needless to say, I have returned the pack.

Excellent quality minimalist backpack
Yes , I recommend this product
Though this bag is 18L capacity the design of the space with the many compartments is done well. The zippers feel and operate smoothly. Even after loading it my 15inch laptop, headphones, a hoodie, the bag did not feel heavy and carrying it around felt comfortable and not straining on the shoulders. The water bottle pouch is meant for compact bottles mainly. Overall a well designed quality bag. I would love to see a 20L /22L version. I am not sure why they decided to put the luggage strap vertically Vs horizontally ( so the bag says upright vs sideways) on a carry on handle.
