I packed this for a a crowded subway commute and it swallowed everything. The top handle distributes weight well and the padded sleeve is a small win. I am in Charlotte.

The size is right for a winter trip to Denver. The top handle keeps its shape and the flat base is placed where you actually need it. I am in New Orleans.

The hidden back pocket is simple and it works. The main zip is the reason this bag feels more expensive than it is. I am in Los Angeles.
