The reviewer says the Herman Pro is unsuitable for longer travel and lacks a hipbelt and water bottle compartment for hiking. The reviewer notes that the roll-top compartment expands slightly, providing additional room for a jumper or camera equipment when necessary. The reviewer highlights EVA-padded shoulder straps, an ergonomic S-curve design, and a breathable back panel on the Herman Pro.
The reviewer describes the NA-TEX fabric as durable without feeling plasticky, while its matte texture gives the backpack a premium feel. A separate laptop compartment and trolley sleeve make the Herman Pro convenient for airport security checks and suitcase handling.
