“This is the most versatile pack I have owned. Being a hiker, I don’t plan on carrying any real weight unless there is a waist belt. That eliminates almost all of backpacks - large and small. This pack has a waist belt that can be kept hidden. It is also expandable without looking like a Transformer. It looks like an elegant laptop backpack - but it holds a weekend’s worth of stuff if needed. It’s all well designed from the two opening choices to the expandable pouch at the bottom. Great pack!”

“While I've only had it for a week, it has met all of my expectations. I finally have a bag that comfortably fits everything I need when commuting to/from work and the gym. Being able to separate my gym shoes from my workout clothes and lunch, thanks to the shoe bag feature, has been great. It also feels great; I'm confident this bag will be perfect for travel and hiking. I have 2 minor gripes: 1) The bottle holders on the side are not adjustable. My 40 oz water bottle fits perfectly and will not slide out without excessive force. However, my 24 oz bottle (10.2"H x 3.2"D) will slide out if I reach down to pick something up. However, given all the extra room inside the pack, I have no issue with throwing my 24 oz into the main pouch. 2) The shoe bag doesn't perfectly line up with the bottom of the backpack. I'm a bit worried that the shoes will get soaked if I walk through the rain, but I haven't tested this yet. The gripes are not deal breakers, but hopefully they are considered for future iterations of the backpack. I'd still highly recommend this backpack.”

“I mentioned this in the Kickstarter comments about my concerns.. and I was right! It's a great high quality product, but there are things missing. 1. There are not enough or more accessible loops to hang off of to classify it as a more "rugged outdoors" bag 2. The way the elastic holders on each side is stitched and their tension makes them very flimsy. These should have been more taut. My bottles fall out and I don't trust them to hold anything. I'm actually going to take it to a tailor to have it additionally reinforced on the inside with stronger elastic 3. There are no loop buckles on the side to keep something longer in the side holders or to buckle in an umbrella or tripod. 4. With the additional space in the middle, it would have been helpful to add more magnetic buckles to allow both the tech and toiletry kit stick on the outside.”

“Using this bag as a deployment and travel bag. So far, durable and lightweight. Slightly on the larger side, but not so overly large that can't be used on a daily basis. Good quality materials so far.”
