Details & care
A rugged, expandable, and highly accessible travel backpack built around a simple truth—No Two Trips The Same. Designed for everything from daily carry to full travel, it adapts to your needs with a flexible capacity that expands for longer trips and compresses for everyday use—all while meeting international carry-on requirements. Multiple access points—including top, side, front, and rear—make packing and unpacking effortless, while weatherproof UltraZips are built to withstand decades of use. Inside, the main compartment can be organized into separate sections, with dedicated padded sleeves for laptops and tablets. Thoughtful storage is everywhere, from quick-access pockets for essentials like keys and passports to large expandable side pockets for water bottles or tripods. Carry options are equally versatile, with tuck-away shoulder straps, an optional hip belt, and 360-degree grab handles, plus concealed external carry straps for extra gear.

Access, access, access
This bag, a few packing cubes, and well though out clothes and there's no limit to how long you can travel. It is very sturdy, with tons of features and access.

Buy only if you can accept poor quality products.
Purchased in 2022, used the bag approximately once or twice a year when I go on long trips.
1. One zip handle tore.
2. Silicon mesh pocket flaked very badly
3. Material covering/protecting the zip broke
I do not handle my bag roughly and when I travel I use this bag to supplement my large full size luggages.
Read raving reviews about the bag and how some used it for years before I purchased it. The breakdown of materials started occurring less than 2 years during my once or twice yearly long trips.
Note: tried to attach photos to this review however unable to do so.

Great features, super versatile
I bought this to carry a mix of photographic and travel gear whilst moving between various forms of transport.
I have carried it around for short periods with it loaded up to around 11·5 kg and it is fine. Routinely I have comfortably carried it for a couple of hours loaded to around 7-8 kg. The hip belt and the chest strap help a lot with comfort
What I like best:
—The easy access;
—The side access that can avoid opening up the whole case just to reach a camera;
—The stowable straps that are great when moving between modes of transport;
—The many compartments;
—The multiple handles.
—The security tabs on the zips;
—The compression poppers that make the bag look so much sleeker.
What I think might be improved:
—The side-opening zips are single ended. Double ended would be nice;
—When lifting a well stuffed bag using the side handles, the compression poppers invariably come undone.
Overall, I have found this to be a very versatile, convenient and durable bag that works even better with the camera cubes and I am very happy with my choice.

600 Flights and Counting
The 45L is best travel backpack out there. It is durable and still perfect condition after over 600 flights. It easily packs 5 days for my business trips, and laptop, tablet, 18” travel monitor, mini pc and keyboard and two PD tech pods. I even pack two suits on occasions. It fits in the overhead bins even in the smaller planes like the CRJ900.

Love the bag
Bought this a little over a month ago and was suprised at how much I am able to fit into it. Pockets both internal and external are great for all the various chargers and gadgets I have on trips.

I love it, though maybe I shouldn't
I was obsessed with this backpack since the first time I saw a YouTube video about it, and I basically knew every feature I was gonna get when it arrived. So I knew about the 500 features this bag has, the compression, the versatility, and, of course, the straps. I didn't really care because during my whole life I've been a backpack guy, taking one with me everywhere I go, so my mind said "we´ll tank it, right?". So I did, and it kind of worked, but the flaws of the support and comfort that this bag should provide are too noticeable to not feel it when walking for longer than 1 block. Again, I can tank it, but maybe I shouldn't have to. Everything else has been an absolute blast, the expansion is life saving, and being a really medium heighted person (1.80m) the compressed mode doesn't look gargantuous for an EDC use as I expected. I´d definitely buy the next version if they do something about the padding and overall comfort. But im so happy with my purchase that I can see past this not-so-minor flaw
