Accent 20-Liter Recycled Backpack

I'm 5.2' and was looking for something with back support. I commute everyday and was sold on this bag for its size (45cm long great for a shorter person like myself) and the compartment for sunglasses which holds more than sunglasses. I can't fit my lunchbox but I don't have to take it off in the subway because of its size. It might be small for travelling but perfect for work.

I bought this because i wanted to carry my Apple 16inch laptop and DLSR camera in a bag that i can pass as a personal item...AND i can still bring a carry-on roller on the plane. (this bag can also attach to the handles of the carry on so i dont even have to carry it around in my back. My previous bag was the bigger 40L and it prevented me to bring an additional carry on, AND i had to carry all that weight in my back the entire time i was waiting to board. (sometimes that could be hours on a layover.) So this bag solved that problem. It is just slightly bigger than the United measurements, but only by fractions...its not a hardshell or rigid, so i feel it will fit inside the box. Some things i wish it had....1) keychain lanyard inside. 2) a way to attach a lock on the top and back zipper pouches to guard against pickpocket when you travel. 3) Molle or loops on the front straps so you can attach additional pouches to hold your wallet or passport or phone. Overall, this is a great bag that is the right measurements for my purpose.

Thule always makes quality items; no issue there. I love that this backpack is small and lightweight and meets my daily needs as a professor. It fits my 15” MacBook Air, a thin file folder, computer charger, dry erase markers, other writing utensils, and a water bottle. There isn’t room for much else. The zipper to the main compartment is shorter than I was expecting, which makes the backpack a little rigid and difficult to fill to capacity. Not a dealbreaker for me, and I’m happy with my purchase! An advantage of the short zipper is that the backpack feels very sturdy.
