this is a good backpack, for context I don't often get "higher end" backpacks like this one but in the time I've used it it seems good quality. The main flaw I feel is if you're a big LTT fan you may have been slightly overhyped. My first initial disappointment is the plastic zipper handles, I've had no issues but they just feel very plastic-y and I feel as though through years of use that would be the first thing to fail (I understand this was explicitly mentioned as a cost cutting thing but feels bad given the high price of the backpack yk). This is made worse by the fact that I've found sometimes zipping the laptop pocket all the way up can be difficult even when I wouldn't think the pocket is full or anything. There seems to be a specific spot about half way up the sides on both sides where it catches and needs some force to get past. I've checked its not catching on the internal fabric and all I have in there is a 13" laptop, 2 small paperback books and a couple cables so hardly what I'd expect the limit of that pocket should be. Also since it is a slightly harder frame I've felt a bit disappointed by the amount of horizontal space in the bag, it can go very deep and hold a lot of things that way but if you want to hold things that are wider that is much harder for this backpack. That being said I've not had many issues with space even though I migrated from a larger backpack (the internal pockets have the same vertical focus btw fitting anything that isn't thin wont happen). I think the space will be very satisfactory if you follow the content on the storepage but especially coming from the og backpack's review on youtube where they said you can essentially hold everything and the kitchen sink. But depending on what you want to bring this backpack is still extremely spacious and a great pick. Another thing mentioned in the short circuit discussion is the attempt to make it not hold sweat as much this has been kinda disappointing to me but I think its just down to physics and the fact that any padding will hold some amount of water in it. Its not horrible by any means but given it was specifically mentioned I was disappointed to still find it a little moist and gross when using with sweat involved especially coming from a backpack with less padding that didn't have that issue. Also as a person who often doesn't have pockets in their clothes it would have been nice to have a dedicated exterior pocket that fit my phone for quick access rather then at the bottom of one of the big pockets, if you aren't a glasses person and your phone isn't massive it could fit in that pocket perhaps but I've been using the passport compartment which has been nice except that especially when things get a bit sweatier my phone gets false presses and as I'm listening to music I can hear it trying to emergency dial pressing random numbers or pausing/skipping my music which is just a small annoyance especially for us women who may rely on it more to hold our phones. . The other nitpick is even smaller but the little video on the storepage when discussing water resistance makes the fabric seem downright hyrdophobic which is of course too good to be true, I've had no issues with water with this backpack but the exterior will be a little damp to the touch after being in rain but your contents are very safe. Although I noticed in the last rainy period that specifically my glasses compartment was damp, none of the contents got wet but the microfibre cloth felt a bit wet so warning their if you want to put anything sensitive to water in their during a big rain. The final thing I can think of to mention as a negative is that as a fellow #short person like Linus I was disappointent that as far as I can figure out the straps I need to tighten them further then they can be held in order for it to fight right on my back meaning I have to pull the strings till they're dangling and where they will loosen over time meaning I'm constantly adjusting them. If you're also a shorter human that might be worth considering if it would bother you. Overall this is a short list of things to complain about and I'm very happy with the product so far I just think it is a touch overhyped by LTT on the youtube end it isn't perfect but its still awesome

I was a little anxious buying a backpack sight unseen, but this little guy has been awesome. I can fit my M1 MacBook Pro and my 12.9" iPad in the laptop sleeve with my Kindle in the tablet pocket. In the large area, I have a set of over-the-ear headphones, a hardbound journal book, and an assortment of pens. I keep my earplugs in the top front pocket. I've traveled with a Switch 2 and SteamDeck in the large pocket. I would 100% recommend this bag!

Perfect for commuting on the trains/buses/metros in Budapest and all around Hungary.

This is the first time I have spent a significant amount of money on a backpack and it shows. This is the best backpack I have ever used. The product transparency through the description and specifications is a nice touch. You get everything you see in the pictures when it comes to features. I love all the storage the bag provides with all the pockets, with some featuring magnets; it's a nice touch. The bag is super comfortable to wear for long periods of time as well. The microfiber lined tablet pocket is great for my iPad Air and accommodates for an Apple Pencil nicely. The laptop sleeve is very padded and I am confident that it will be protected. For any of those wondering, an Asus ProArt P16 just barely fits into the whole bag. The bag has optimal space for everything I would need to store with a spacious front compartment. The water bottle holders are nicely integrated to look sleek when not in use but are functional to carry a variety of bottle types. The hidden zipper pocket in the water bottle sleeve is nice to hide an AirTag for added tracking abilities. I probably would prefer the normal LTT bag over the commuter just to have a little more room but, overall this bag is great and I don't have any complaints at the moment. We'll see how well it holds up in the coming years.

I wish the zipper strings were LTT themed, sometimes I struggled to find where they are cause they blend in with the backpack and they can zip down further than normal backpack zippers go. Other than that, good quality and small enough to earn the name commuter backpack while being large enough to carry most things you need when commuting from A to B.
