The reviewer found the suspension somewhat firm, with little back-panel contouring and notably rigid shoulder straps. The reviewer describes the backpack as having extensive organization and substantial internal padding for carrying electronics. The organizational panel includes a cord management system that helped the reviewer keep devices charged and ready throughout long days.
The roll-top closure uses reinforced sides and a magnetic fastening point before securing the rolled opening against the back panel. Side access to both the main compartment and laptop sleeve provides quicker access when opening the roll top would be slower.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer found the removable packing cube large enough to hold five days of clothing while occupying nearly the main compartment.
- Travelers can remove the packing cube at their destination, leaving an otherwise empty backpack for touring around town.
- The reviewer describes the backpack as having extensive organization and substantial internal padding for carrying electronics.
Reported trade-offs
