The reviewer measured just over 15 liters in the main compartment and estimated 20 to 22 liters overall, describing the packed feel as tight. A raised false bottom in the tech compartment helps protect laptops from impacts when the backpack is set down during daily use. The panel-style main opening avoids internal zipper conflicts, while minimal organization and high-contrast lining improve visibility inside for packing.
The reviewer found the contoured, wide shoulder straps firm rather than cushioned, making comfort the backpack’s most significant weakness. The lower front pocket provides storm-flap-protected quick access, but the reviewer says opening becomes tighter and less fluid as the bag fills.
