Looks big, but it's not.

It looks big but doesn't feel like it has enough space because it's thin. I like it for the daily commute, but it can't be used for traveling - there's not enough space. I love the multiple inner pockets and the quality is top notch!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Minor issues

Nice bag on backpacks

I love this bag, it has a nice slim design for those of you who like a minimalist look. The colors are great and there are so many pockets for all your needs. My only concern is that the stitching on one of my straps has come undone and will likely break at some point. It's not all the same. It definitely has a lifetime guarantee. But overall a great bag.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Clarity

Dimensions are TERRIBLE

Beautiful bag. Slim profile, thoughtful details, nice backpack straps. However, I have no idea where that came from: Product dimensions: 18.5 x 4.7 x 15.8 inches. No, not nearby. Lead is approximately 14 inches in diameter when completely flat. Without counting the sides it appears to be front only, measuring about 11.5 inches in diameter. With the valve closed, its height is about 17 inches. And these are all external dimensions. Too bad. I ordered 3 bags and I really wanted to be able to…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Narrow backpack, sometimes narrow

Nice narrow backpack. Other reviews were correct, the amount you put in each compartment (whether main compartment, inner pocket or outer zip pocket) limits your access to other compartments/pockets. Too much stuff in the inside or outside pockets makes it difficult to get things out of the main compartment - I end up pushing things up and out of the pockets when I pull something out of the main compartment. This backpack is truly designed for easy commuting. To avoid hard compression, I scaled

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Functionality
