The reviewer reports that the deep front compartment becomes difficult to access when the backpack is full. The reviewer found the laptop sleeve thickly padded, lined with faux-fur, and capable of accommodating some larger laptops without cases. The wide shoulder straps sit comfortably and distribute backpack weight evenly despite having relatively little structural support.
The adjustable sternum strap slides along a track, flexes while walking, keeps excess webbing tidy, and remains securely positioned. The side bottle pocket zips flat when unused and expands to accommodate larger bottles or thermoses.
