Review on Pacsafe Metrosafe LS450 Laptop Backpack Backpacks by Yadira Santiago

I was looking for an international travel backpack that could be used as a carry on/handbag and also be taken on day trips when traveling. I took a respectable collection of things I usually carry with me: planer, Canon camera, spare lens, charger, wallet, kindle, pens, water bottle, baby wipes, lipstick/lip balm; and tried them in several different backpacks. I actually wanted to keep the Metrosafe LS450, but it was too big for my purposes. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, I couldn't get the straps to lie flat on my shoulders even when loaded. You could almost use it as the only piece of luggage for an international trip. There are so many pockets in the pockets (which I love). I could find a place for everything. I liked the large, expandable side pockets for water bottles and the zippers on the outside to deter theft. The zippers were also YKK so they were good quality. I also liked that there were elastic straps to take the extra length from the adjustable straps. (Hope that made sense.) All in all a great big backpack, just not what I needed.
