The reviewer says the loose document sleeve fabric can cover the main compartment’s open space and block access to other gear. The reviewer found the Roro zippers worked relatively smoothly and easily, especially when using the leather loops for leverage. The reviewer notes that a luggage pass-through lets travelers slide the backpack onto a roller’s handle when traveling.
The reviewer used the two liner pockets to organize a wallet, AirPods, lip balm, and ointment for daily carry. The reviewer considers the main compartment’s internal zippered pocket fairly roomy and relatively secure for everyday carry items.
Reported strengths

- The reviewer found the Roro zippers worked relatively smoothly and easily, especially when using the leather loops for leverage.
Reported trade-offs
- The reviewer reports that mesh beneath the shoulder straps feels noticeably rough and scratchy against bare skin for wearers.
- The reviewer says the loose document sleeve fabric can cover the main compartment’s open space and block access to other gear.
- The reviewer found the backpack feels oversized on smaller frames because it runs longer and wider than its capacity suggests.
