The padded top and side handles suit short carries, although carrying the fully packed bag this way feels less appropriate. The Sherpani Santiago Travel Backpack uses recycled polyester derived from plastic bottles, supporting the brand’s sustainability focus. The reviewer reports that the recycled-polyester fabric feels sufficiently durable for travel and has a slightly structured feel.
The single mesh bottle pocket holds bottles securely, while its neighboring strap can stabilize bottles or longer items. The sternum strap slides along a rail for fine fit adjustments and includes a keeper that controls excess webbing.
