This is not for my daily use; instead its for airline travel and occasional other trips all of which occasions tend to be rough on luggage and bags; intense and vigorous. After a couple years my verdict is: This backpack is awesome!  All the handles are in great shape. The padding on the shoulder straps is the right thickness; not too thin, not too thick. The size is generous. Im 6 and it fits comfortably. I particularly love that there is one one main compartment, not numerous little ones as is the trend nowadays. Even still the little compartments in the front flap are ideal for little things like charging cables, flashlights, papers, etc. Super happy with this backpack.  Recommended without any reservations.
