Seems really well built. So far after a couple of trips, I am pleasantly surprised with the function and quality. Access is limited to the main volume is via the side zipper only so pack with that in mind for stuff you want to easily access. Really the access is the only downside so far but I can't see how they would improve it without causing other problems. The front two pockets are sufficient for a few small things and easy access. I really like the styling (old school but new). The waist belt is not cushioned much, but so far has been very functional. I suspect if I went on a serious mountain trip the waist belt would get uncomfortable but for a few hours through airports and around DC it is perfect. I also like the carry options (i.e. top handle, side handle, backpack straps, and sling). The side buckles are also nice to cinch and tighten the whole thing. Well done, I expect to be using this for business trips for many years to come.
