This backpack is perfect for travelling. It is great to use for carryon, weekend road trips, cruises etc... The way it unzips on three sides and opens flat is perfect for packing. I use packing cubes with it and its amazing how much I can fit in this thing. It has plenty of storage. I read that some people think the mesh back and straps is harsh but i didnt find that to be true in my opinion. I used it on my bare skin with tank tops just fine without it being irritating. I do not like the placement of the chest clip and wish it could be removable but you can adjust its placement by adjusting the length of the straps so I can work with it. All in all 5 stars. I will be purchasing more for xmas gifts.Love the bright pattern and functionality of this bag. Needed a second bag with a trolley sleeve and love that this is a backpack as well. Interior pockets make it easy to keep essentials handy. Lightweight but sturdy and I got it for 50% off!Look nice, and sturdy!This back pack is more like a small suitcase the way it is designed to open in half. It is amazing for ling weekend trips!So many pockets to organize and lightweightVery please. Great purchase that meets my needs.I bought this for my work travel. This has great storage for 2 laptops plus external travel monitor and all the cords. Plus nice size water bottle holder, padded back compartment and office supplies. Perfect for work travel. It also has deep compartments for packing clothes for a weekend. The matching cosmetic case fits perfectly.I am a plus size women (size 20) and the bag fits 5 days worth of clothes for me. Bag is bigger than I thought.
