I received this to help me pass my clinical trial. It worked great and I expect it will work great for a few more years. The design is great for organization - it even has a padded, zippered pocket for my laptop. Plenty of pockets keep my stuff from clogging the bottom of the bag, so I don't have to fumble around for my phone or wallet at lunchtime. There's room for my liter water bottle and I can even have lunch if I'm ambitious. In winter I could even squeeze in a padded down jacket. A well-made carry-on bag doesn't have to be fashionable, then this bag is for you.
