Felt comfortable to wear, opens like a suitcase which I liked but an extra pocket on one of the inside covers to put for example a book/ wallet in for extra security/ ease of access whilst in transit would be useful. Outside pockets great for travel documentation. Large capacity for a travel bag. Flat packs for ease of storage when out of use. A very useful travel bag.

First look - this is it! Can't wait to take it into travel :)

Superb bit of kit very light and takes a lot of kit while meeting the typical airline hand luggage size limit.

Great bag I love this bag, just bought the 4th!

Great bag I love this bag, just bought the 4th!

Love this bag I bought this bag for my trip to Copenhagen as I didn't want to have to roll a small suitcase round the cobbled streets (after berlin destroyed a wheel on my suitcase last year). Id liked this bag as it was a little taller in profile than the metz, so more suitable for my shorter female frame. Things I especially love about this bag- The suitcase style loading- very convieniant for going through security. Recommend getting packing cubes to organise the inside. The size is great- If you're worried about losing 4 litres (the Metz and others are 44L, this is 40) don't be- the suitcase opening makes the most of the space. Also being slightly under the standard maximum dimensions means it will certainly fit in the allowed size, even if its stuffed at the front. The back laptop sleeve- great for business travel The shoulder straps are comfortable The zip pouches on the front- very handy for book, passport, extras like a cotton shopping bag The colour! Grey and orange is one of my favourite combinations. I also like how the pockets are easy to stitch patches onto. Things I wish it had- Side compression straps- these would minimise the load moving around on your back A hip belt- even just a webbing one that would pack away would help distribute weight easier.

Lightest carry on baggage with room to spare Exactly what I needed, a carry on bag that doesn't take up 20% of my weight allowance!

Excellent weekend bag Huge capacity, plenty of pockets to keep everything organised, slides under a plane seat and very comfortable to carry. I wouldn't travel without it.

Excellent bag and significantly bigger than expected! On the whole this bag is excellent. It has very large capacity in the main areas and 3 large document/magazine/laptop pockets whilst being usable as either a rucksack or a carry bag. To give you an idea of how big this bag is, I'm currently 10 days into a 3 week trip to Japan and this is the only bag I brought! I've even struggled to fill it with clothes etc as I don't have enough! I've got shirts, jeans, shorts, pants, wash bags, everything - and that's just in one half of the "clothes" area! The rest is filled with laptop, chargers etc. My one gripe would be a lack of a deep "other" pocket. A laptop pocket and a document pocket is expected but I'd like to see a pocket suitable for sunglasses, chargers, powerbank etc rather than having to put them in the main area of the bag due to the document pockets being too flat. Other than that though this is an quality bag.
