The reviewer notes that the padded back panel lacks the previous mesh, potentially offering less relief from sweaty backs during city movement. The improved double side handle anchors at four points, distributes weight evenly, and gives the reviewer a balanced, comfortable briefcase carry. The reviewer finds the messenger attachment intuitive because its D-ring placement clearly indicates where the detachable strap connects on the pack.
The shoulder straps are described as well padded, contoured, and more ergonomic than the earlier version, improving comfort in backpack mode. The stealth water-bottle pocket zips flat when unused and expands with elasticated material for bottles, umbrellas, or other tube-shaped items the reviewer carries.
