Breathable construction for the back panel and shoulder straps ensures daylong comfort.

Solid Bag
Five weeks traveling, very happy with pack. Feels tight and solid on body, never felt movement once chest strap engaged. Was a bit of a learning experience to sort the pockets in my mind, but likely pilot error there. Main zippers might be a tad under sized, but then you have the EC warranty. . . Push the buy button.

Not the best sizing for me
Putting my laptop in the pack essentially renders several of the other features useless. I will not be keeping item.

Best Backpack Ever!!
In the past, I had to buy my daughter a new backpack every year for school. Four years ago I bought my first Eagle Creek backpack. She carried that backpack for four years and it still looks fine. She just asked for a new color. If you think it’s a little on the expensive side, take the price of the ones you buy multiplied by four and compare I Highly recommend this backpack!

I bought this backpack after
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack after my convertabrief got a damaged zipper. I found this bag snall and does not perform as well as my previous everyday eagle creek product. I ll use it until I found something better. My laptop barely fits inside, few inside pockets. I m disappointed with this product

Best Everyday Bag Ever!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best everyday bag I have ever owned. I really like the side entrace to grab things at the bottom of my bag and to easily grab small items in the organized zipper pockets. The mesh water bottle pocket is large and deep so it holds my large bottles well and I do not have to worry about them falling out. The outside compartment for my laptop makes it easy to pull out when I'm on the go or at the airport without opening my entire bag. While ocassionaly tight (from my overpacking) it's worked well as a personal item on all of my flights so far. I've used this bag for over a year and it's gone everywhere with me!

Best backpack I've ever own.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried my backpack for the first time in Cusco. It's simply spectacular. The most important thing: it's very comfortable, also very practical, lightweight, and looks sturdy and suitable for high traffic. My new favorite.

Wanted so bad to like this bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted so so so much to like this bag. It's awesome looking and the layout of pockets is great. A minor tick against for having only one water bottle pocket, but otherwise amazing. The two issues I had that made it not work for me: 1 - The bag itself is a little smaller than I'd prefer. Something closer to 30L would be nicer for me, though I could have made this work if it weren't for the second issue. 2 - The shoulder straps are weirdly short. The padded part of the strap is at least 2-3 inches shorter than on my old Mountain Hardware bag that I'm trying to replace. They're also weirdly narrow. The combination of these two things made this bag uncomfortable to me and I had to return it. Make a 30L or 32L bag and fix the straps and I'll order in a heartbeat!
