The reviewer found the backpack too deep for carry-on use on most airlines, despite its advertised cabin-luggage suitability. The bag includes three grab handles, a built-in rain cover, two water-bottle pouches, optional tripod straps, and a TSA padlock. The reviewer found the adjustable, padded backpack straps comfortable, with clips allowing complete removal when needed from the bag.
The reviewer notes that the empty Flexloader is relatively heavy, making its comfortable carrying system important before equipment is added. The reviewer found fitting a 15-inch laptop into its sleeve possible, but removing it from a full bag was difficult.
