I really liked the Shell Backpack when I first saw it. What made me really wanna have it was the closet system. While I know that quality costs money, I did not want to impulse buy it so I waited a year and then got it. I like the materials, how expandable it is and I love the hidden back pocket, however I could have gone for something cheaper that suits me better. You live and you learn. I find it is not very comfortable to carry when full (even if it is not too heavy). The straps are also not very comfortable. There are two ways to open it, which is cool but while one has a zipper that you can secure with a padlock, you cannot do that with the top opening. The wardrobe system is cool but quite heavy. I had the feeling that the toiletry bag could be easily stolen because the thingies that you pull to “free” it from the backpack are hard to hide. If someone wants mine (only used it once), let me know and I’ll sell it to you.
