Got this for my husband, and he loves it, only bad part is the laptop section was too small for his work laptop.

I bought this as a replacement for my current chair backpack and while the initial firm shell was not anticipated, I can say it works fantastic. The dual side pockets are perfect for my 40oz LTT bottle and any other quick grab item, keys, hand sanitizer, etc. The interior volume is larger than I expected and can manage quite a number of items without issue, though anything small can get lost in the bottom. The pockets are a bit snug, but stretchy enough to hold a wallet, a couple of phones and other gear, so no complaints there. The additional space for the laptop and tablet are also great for my tire pump, emergency tube kit and such. The bag fits perfectly between my wheels and while I appreciate the weather resistant zippers, they can be a bit tough to manipulate without taking it off. Not a fault of the zipper, just inconvenient by angles.

My only fault with the pack is the longevity of the tension clips to hold the strap length in place. One of the thin plastic pieces has already broken (lasted about 2 months), but it is holding its length for now and I can use a zip tie if I need to keep it in place and wrap up the dangling lengths so they don't get caught in my wheels. All in all, a great backpack which I hope to be using for more years than its predecessor. Well done guyz!

I commute about 30 minutes to the gym in the morning, and then straight to work after. I'm able to pack everything I need for work, along with a pair of shoes and a shirt for working out as I often take my motorcycle in the morning. On the bike the straps stay with their keepers meaning I'm not being slapped constantly on my helmet or body, my morning coffee and pre-workout can stay in each of the bottle holders just fine even during hard acceleration and deceleration. This bag for sure isn't designed for motorcycle riding, but it works pretty dang well.

You've seen a lot of reviews already about how good the bag is, I doubt you have seen a review on how well it holds vomit.

I was piss drunk in Japan and I had to let it go, the flood gates from my throat couldn't take it and I had to spew. I didnt want to be another typical drunk tourist making a mess of the train so I did what any self respecting drunk would. I moved all the important stuff from the main compartment to the back compartment in 10 seconds and unloaded everything from my stomach into the main compartment. Was the bag ruined after? Yes. Did the inside smell? Yes of course. Should I have carried a spew bag? Yes and from now on ill use the side bottle zipper to store 2 for emergencies. But did it hold the spew, not leak, not leave a mess/annoy people and hold in the gut wrenching smell? Yes. Yes it did.

So if you really have to and value the ability to hold your head up high the next day in another country, yes you can use it for emergency spews.

The bag is great, the pockets are nice, and the design is good. I just can't get over the straps, they're a bit uncomfortable (too bumpy) and the shoulder straps with the clip are confusing to use / don't stay tight enough.
