I love this backpack so much. I ordered it slightly last-minute and a little panicked just before a three-week European vacation. I needed something small enough for the carry-on requirements for my flights, and I'd be doing a lot of train travel and wanted something easier to transport than a small roller bag. This one had good reviews, but I was nevertheless worried that it might not hold up during all the moving around and repeated packings and unpackings, not to mention having to pack lighter than I had for any other trip of comparable length.

I needn't have worried! This bag checked all my boxes--it's super sturdy, looks great, and holds a lot more stuff than I thought, and it's got the bonuses of multiple carrying options while being the perfect in-between size to use both for travel and for everyday use. I'm actually looking forward to my next trip in part because I'll be able to enjoy the revelatory ease of backpack travel vs. my old suitcase ways. I really cannot recommend it enough!
