I took this bag on a two week trip to Europe and it worked great. I packed it to it’s limit, without expanding it, and had no problems using it as a carry on. I didn’t have to check it once. It was easy and comfortable to carry. I would recommend it. I like the built in rain cover and the ability to stow the straps.

I like the bag because of the simplicity and ease of use. I however find that this bag fits less than the Osprey Farpoint 40L and Cotopaxi Allpa 32L despite it can hold at the max 45L. In addition, the fabric material and strap support is not comfortable at all. It feels like the backpacks you get at conventions.

Great for short or long trips. Color is prettier in real life and the clamshell opening is easy to use. I do wish the shoulder straps were wider for more comfort

I really liked this pack, but it was too big.

Everyone has their personal preferences, but I find the layout and storage capacity to be underwhelming, and the fact that the rain cover has to be tucked behind the backpack straps is uncomfortable. I didn't bother taking it on my recent trip, it's too late to return it, so I will probably donate it to a local charity.
