Wow. Just ... wow.
If ever there were a backpack made for me, this would be it. The capacity of this thing is unreal, considering it doesn't feel particularly oversized -- a bit bigger than your average backpack, yes, but it can't be THAT much bigger ... can it?I've been having a hard time finding a bag that can fit my 16" work laptop while still allowing me to pack other things, and to do so without applying nerve-wracking pressure on the laptop. That this backpack enables me to fit my laptop, accessories, full-sized keyboard, mouse, clothing, snacks, toiletries ... all at the same time, and without damaging any of it? That alone would have me yelling SOLD right then and there, without any of the other design features.And there are several delightful design features:For starters, that large capacity can expand by approximately 25% using some zippers. Because of this large variability in potential content volume, the bag comes with straps which can be clipped together to reinforce portions of the bag.The front pouch (the upper one, that is) unzips fully along three sides (top, right, and bottom), thereby enabling it's external layer to swing open to the left like a refrigerator door, keeping the contents of its pouches upright at all times (and allowing 100% visibility into said pouches -- no more lost USB dongles!)The lower front pouch is essentially a deep, deep pocket, sized to allow for shoes to be inserted, and extending into the bag's central cavity (but within it's own membrane which, when not in use, collapses to a negligible volume).Along where the backpack would rest along the lower back is an inconspicuous pocket, meant to keep things safe from theft.The bag has ample padding added at strategic positions, greatly increasing comfort.It even comes with an integrated female USB A port exposed to the exterior, which extends into the bag as a cable ending in a male USB A connector (so the thing is essentially a USB A extension cable. I am finally able to make use of the power banks I have accumulated, all of which seemed like a good idea at the time, but which I rarely if ever end up bringing with me because they're too much to be carrying around, and who needs to be carrying yet another device and cable? With this added feature, I am able to simply leave the power bank in the bag, attached and ready to provide power should the need arise.So comfort, capacity, functionality ... and oh yes, it looks pretty sharp, too! So add fashion to that list of qualities. And with that, I suppose that's enough of a rant for one review -- but please note my enthusiasm when I say, I love this bag!

Convenient
This has a lot of pockets to store things but I wish there was another internal compartment to keep things separated. I like how it can be expanded or contracted depending on your needs. The zips can be a little difficult to move - nothing like my old Wenger backpack - but still manageable. All the stitching looks strong and like it will last for a long time.

This thing is HUGE - listing is accurate
They weren’t kidding when they said in the listing that the ideal user would be about 5’8”. I’m only 5’1” and I feel like a kindergartner carrying my older sibling’s backpack - it swallows me.If I don’t fill it very full, it is not a helpful bag. This is decidedly NOT a daypack - it is more suited to a camping backpack or carryon for travel. Yes, there is a section for the laptop, but even that gets consumed by the cavernous space in this bag.I tried carrying it on a day trip with some supplies to take notes, measurements and pictures, along with some of my normal everyday items (phone, chapstick, money, sunglasses, etc.) but reaching into this bag was like climbing into a cave - as in, I felt like I needed a flashlight to see the contents.This bag is going to be amazing when packing for summer vacation. The shoulder straps are adjustable, so it’ll be more convenient than the roll around suitcase I usually take.The Charging Port has a cord, but it’s a micro USB and then another with a headphone jack. I am all Apple, all the time, so I’ll be replacing those cords and I need to charge my portable battery to insert into the pocket so I can use the charging port. I do like that feature - I have that on another backpack (too small for almost everything) and it’s come in handy.The listing is accurate, the bag is enormous, the zippers and clasps are very good - lots of pockets and adjustments available to customize this to your requirements - generously sized side pockets to hold water bottles and a secret zippered pocket that rests against your back while you are wearing this. You can attach this to your luggage by slipping the luggage strap over the handle of your rolling bag. The bag has an expansion zipper too - like my rolling bag - it’ll get about an extra inch of room.The straps are padded and there are two padded mesh pads at the top of the back of the bag to make the fully loaded pack more comfortable to carry. If you have a lot to carry - this is a good one to get!

This is a great travel backpack, my third try at finding the perfect one
A backpack I had since grad school finally ripped and I knew it was time for me to find a new travel backpack. Travel backpacks need to find under the seat of most airlines, yet be roomy enough for carry enough stuff. I ordered one that had a "business" look that fit under the seat but wasn't as roomy as I had hoped. This "extra-large" one is better! This backpack is wider than most, but does not have bulky pockets on the side which make the backpack wider and unable to fit under the seat. Secondly, this fits my wife's 15" inch laptop and USB port with no problem. I like the front pocket which swings out like a cabinet door very handy for finding something at the airport in a hurry. I didn't think I would like the shoe compartment, but I find it much more accessible and valuable than having to try and dig something out from the bottom of a backpack. I also like the feature of it being able to zip out and expand, just like a roller bag. You can add about maybe an 1" inch of depth to backpack, perfect when you need to add a few last minute souvenirs you can only hand carry on the trip home. Even with the USB ports on the side has a convenient pocket to hold the power bank you will need. This backpack has no powerbank on it's own. You can't plug the backpack in and charge it up, you need to supply your own power bank. The only thing I wish is that the shoulder straps were a bit beefier with a little more padding. But that's about it, it is a well-designed bag which I will put through the paces the next six travel months.
