The two back-panel pockets are relatively small, with narrow openings that limit access and the size of items they can hold. The padded laptop compartment protects a compatible laptop with support from the backpack’s padded back panel and soft lining. The shoulder-strap adjusters resist movement, requiring considerable tugging to tighten or loosen the straps during fitting.
The synthetic material has held up during testing with only one scuff, while dust, dirt, and fluff wipe away readily. A luggage passthrough on the back lets the backpack slide onto roller luggage for easier airport transportation.
Reported strengths
- The main compartment opens nearly clamshell-style, giving the reviewer broad visibility and convenient access to the contents inside.
- The bottom compartment provides useful separation for wet or dirty clothing, shoes, water bottles, or lunchboxes.
- The padded laptop compartment protects a compatible laptop with support from the backpack’s padded back panel and soft lining.
Reported trade-offs
- The laptop sleeve has a slight false bottom, so it provides less cushioning when the bag is dropped or set down abruptly.
- The two back-panel pockets are relatively small, with narrow openings that limit access and the size of items they can hold.
- The shoulder-strap adjusters resist movement, requiring considerable tugging to tighten or loosen the straps during fitting.
