I love this bag so much I bought 5 more for each family member. While I love it, my 2 daughters are not thrilled with it, only because it doesn't roll, you have to carry it . First, it packs A LOT! More than my bigger suitcase with wheels does. I'm amazed how much it packs in. I used this 3 times for 2 week trips to Europe. Its great for getting to and from your destinations, however I used it for a 23 mile trek through the pyrenees on the first leg of the camino and it wasn't a great backpack for that purpose - ergonomics and all. But if you are looking for that one bag to take on a trip, and don't mind carrying vs. rolling, that can fit a laptop, gear, clothes, etc. - this is your bag. I recommend getting some packing cubes.
