I carry a lot for a camping trip in Olympic National Park and this bag does not complain. The side seam is the strongest part of the design. I am in Portland.

It handled a a ferry ride to Bainbridge in the rain better than expected. The top handle dried overnight and the studded corner did not corrode. I am in New York.

I bought this for a summer festival and ended up using it every day. The laptop sleeve is the part I would point to first. I am in Austin.

This replaced a bag that cost twice as much. The handle root is better designed and the padded sleeve is easier to use with one hand. I am in Atlanta.

It has been on 5 months of a ferry ride to Bainbridge and the handle root looks new. The reflective loop is the kind of thing you notice daily. I am in Portland.

The luggage pass-through is the detail I did not know I wanted. The hardware feels over-built in the best way after 20 months. I am in Chicago.

★★★★★

The size is right for a red-eye flight. The side seam keeps its shape and the luggage pass-through is placed where you actually need it. I am in Denver.

The interior zip pocket is simple and it works. The key leash is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Philadelphia.

Bought this for a long airport layover and it has become the bag I reach for. The base panel is reinforced properly and the key clip still works smoothly. I am in Los Angeles.
