The padded mesh back panel includes a central airflow channel that keeps the reviewer's back relatively cool but can still feel sweaty in heat. The pack's padded top and side handles make loading it into trunks, overhead compartments, or rolling luggage easier for the reviewer. The main compartment's lid offers a large liner pocket, a medium zippered pocket, two mesh pockets, and a pen slider.
A padded laptop sleeve and adjacent stretchy mesh pocket accommodate a computer and another smaller flat item inside the pack. When its front and back organization are fully used, the reviewer found little remaining space for extra gear, and the rigid pack felt tight.
