Review on TYR Alliance Backpack Red Black Sports & Fitness by Isaac Morales

I was looking for a replacement for the original TYR Alliance bag on this purchase. After choosing this backpack, I also ordered the Speedo bag, the old TYR Alliance version and the new version with a new design. My two biggest backpacking needs were that I needed a large opening and I wanted the bag to stand upright without falling. This bag had both. Compared to the Speedo bag which had a smaller capacity (35 litres), smaller opening and could not stand up. The new version of the original TYR Alliance bag isn't as high quality as it used to be and I've found that it doesn't last as long as my old bag. A newer feature of this model is that the bodice opens at the back. It amazed me at first. I also miss two large side pockets on the old version. They have been redesigned. However, the new 45 liter size makes up for this somewhat with the extra space in the main compartment. I'm also a big fan of the laptop lumbar support/pillow which is designed to both support the laptop and allow the bag to stand upright without falling over.
